I started this blog as an assignment for my Marketing Management class, we also had an on-going group project throughout the semester to help get an assigned group on Facebook more followers, and to learn how to work with social media to get others to interact. My group in the class was for the Arkansas State University Rugby Team:
I've been friends with many guys on the team since I've been going to school here at Arkansas State University, they are a very hardworking group of guys who love their sport like any other sport here at the university. Despite the Rugby Team being successful with 2 back-to-back National 7’s Championship titles under their belt the support from the school financially is lacking. 3 years ago Arkansas State University was approved for providing a facility for the program, however there was no beginning or end date included in the approval. The guys have to go out on their own every semester to try to raise funds for their team, which covers expenses on away trips for food, travel, and hotel stay. Even with this fundraising they aren't able to always fly to away games, and when they do they aren't always able to stay over night. As successful as these guys have been the univeristy isn't acknowledging them as much as they deserve.
A survey to try to raise awareness of this problem is currently going around. Please take the time to help these guys by filling out this survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/stAteRugbyClubResources
Just Kicking It,
