I’ll pay you for your friendship

You’ve heard it before. For one of the largest universities in the country, less than a decade removed from an Elite Eight-caliber men’s basketball program, Temple doesn’t always have the most attended sporting events.

Al Golden and our football team are nearing relevance. Frannie Dunphy and the men’s basketball team are hot, having beaten No. 20 ranked Xavier not too long ago, but still can’t sell out the Liacouras Center to smack down on Big 5 rival Penn, as the Owls did on Wednesday.

Well, seems someone is trying to do something about it. Board of Trustees member Lewis Katz has put up some big cash to solve the problem.

If you have some suggestions for how to bring more fans to Temple athletic events, Katz is willing to give you $5,000… all for just 500 words. Check it out here, scroll down to find the Enthusiasm Competition. Just make sure to throw some money my way if you win.
