So you want free tuition? Go to Univ. of Tennessee!
In a stroke of brilliance, the Lady Vols marketing director, Jimmy Delaney and Coach Pat Summit have come up with a “win-win” idea: free tuition for a student who attends at least 10 of 14 home games!
When students enter the arena, they have to swipe their student IDs. This is who they will keep track of who, what and when.
Here’s a snippet of the news article:
The Lady Vols will give away a year’s in-state tuition for 2008-09 to a student who attends at least 10 of 14 home games. The winner will be picked randomly from those eligible, tallied electronically when they swipe their student cards at the gate.
It’s a $6,000 value.
“This is a win-win situation!” said Anna York, student body vice president and a student member of the University of Tennessee Board of Trustees. “The students can enjoy our amazing Lady Vols while also having the chance to win free tuition and other prizes.”
The other prizes include two tickets and hotel accommodations to the Women’s Final Four in Tampa, Fla., assuming the Lady Vols are in it. The winners will fly down with the players.
“Some people are more stoked about traveling with the team than getting free tuition,” Delaney said.
