Compact version of JK's tweets about Rice Athletics
I really liked Joe's Twitter updates yesterday, and today I've been posting them in various groups on Facebook and LinkedIn, as follows:

Quote:Yesterday's Twitter update from Rice Athletic Director Joe Karlgaard

Much better than politics: yesterday's tweets from Rice University Athletic Director Joe Karlgaard (@jkarlgaard, https://twitter.com/riceathletics):
· (1/9) Summer vacation is a good time for reflection. Several reasons to be proud of our accomplishments at Rice.
· (2/9) Our brand is strong. Our #18 US News ranking is fifth among all FBS programs and tops among G5 schools.
· (3/9) We are 1 of 62 members of the prestigious Association of American Universities (AAU). Pres. Leebron is about 2 become chair of the AAU
· (4/9) We rank in the top 10 in FBS in all measures of academic progress and graduation rates (APR, GSR, FGR).
· (5/9) We have won 12 conference team championships in nine different sports in the last three years.
· (6/9) We have two new first-time head coaches in both basketball programs. They are the finest first time head coaches in the country.
· (7/9) We've completed $113.2M in facilities renovations in the last ten years, touching every single sport at Rice.
· (8/9) Our fan base is growing rapidly. Season ticket sales are up 54.6% in FB and 161% in MBB since 2013-14.
· (9/9) Grateful to our community for accomplishing these things the right way ... The Rice Way! And there's still more to come!

I was told long ago that if you don 't toot your own horn, nobody else will do it for you.

Looks like JK blows a mean trumpet.

Amen. Very important moment to do it too. Let's hope it pays off...no illusions of Big 12 at the moment but hopefully a Conf home with more peer schools than we have now.
