ETA: just realized its dated 2013 though. I wonder if he is still doing it

Was going to post that he did this a couple of years ago too, before I read the body of your post. And yes, it is a very cool thing for him to do.

As long as the they aren't getting student discounts it's kosher.

Mullen would have sent them all a bust of himself.

Just curious. Can't do this if they are going to a bowl, right? So it would have to be after the bowl game. Which means he can't this year but in 2013....

We would do this too; however, we cannot, because we max out our cost of attendance dollars and NCAA opportunity fund. USM does not.

This story came out in 2013 before cost of attendance had been implemented. Even if it had, CUSA is maxing out on cost of attendance too. Most (maybe all) of the mid-major conferences are. It's not a huge expense and it puts you at a real recruiting disadvantage if you don't.

I checked this afternoon after reading this story.... and they do not. They can't afford it with their budget.

Patdog..... Thanks for the link. The info I heard from my USM buddy was obviously wrong.
I wish the NCAA would let all schools buy the kids a suit, so they could go interview without being handicapped. Maybe only give it to them when they get their diploma or something like that.
