confident we will reach our goal.”
Helwig said he would like to see students as well
as alumni targeted in ticket-selling efforts. “It is
important to have a good preseason campaign, but
the great thing about college football is the
atmosphere of the event and students are a big part
of that.
“One of the real challenges is reaching the
student body as a whole,” Helwig said. “They are

Hurley and Helwig did not have an answer.
“We’re going to get it done,” Helwig said.
“We’re going to accomplish something a lot of
people don’t think is possible.
“There’s a building process. There was
excitement at the initial phase, but not necessarily
everyone believed this was going to happen,”
Helwig said. “But now everybody has seen that
this is happening and I believe as we take each
step, it builds.”
Hurley said changes in the NCAA rules offer
incentives to get stadium attendance up to the
minimum requirements.
“We have three seasons to do it, but it is very
important to do it this season,” he said. “We do
want to be at the table when these changes are
made.”
Few students attended the ceremony, but Hurley
thanked them for their support. “I want to note the

Brian Tankersley, Valley Mills sophomore and
spirit chairman of the Talons, said he was optimistic
about NT’s move to LA.
“I think it’s very good for the university,”
Tankersley said. “Even if we can’t win the first
couple of years, it is a good move. Miami did this ;
a few years ago and look where they are now.

A Board of Regents member Joe Kirven echoed
the other speakers’ enthusiasm. “We know we’re a
great university and this is going to make us greater,”
Kirven said.
“The board is committed to see this through in a
timely fashion,” he said. “Bring on the UTs, the
Alabamas and the Notre Dames because we are in
their class.”
In, addition to expanding Fouts Field, NT must
average 17,000 in attendance to move to I-A. Hurley
said Athletic Director Craig Helwig’s marketing
background will improve the efforts to sell tickets to
the games.
“A key factor was finding an athletic director with
marketing experience,” Hurley said. “The initial
effort has been pledges and there has been movement
in that direction. But we’re going to need a lot of

“Monday will be primarily a
