I was talking to a friend about the upcoming homecoming and at the mention of Ohio University a teenager in the room asked me "isn't that where Logan Paul goes?"

I know who he is and I know he is particularly popular (downright famous) among teenagers but I was surprised that is what someone first thought when they heard "Ohio University."

Agreed on the athletic department reaching out. Social media has gotten so big/important to marketing these last couple years, it would be silly to ignore someone like Paul. Beyond his funny videos, he is a former athlete and on a full academic scholarship. An outgoing kid like that is someone any University would love to have wearing their colors.

We've seen the power of going viral with the black jerseys and the 110. You gotta think something creative can be done. The benefits could be insane. Especially when you consider many of his followers on vine and twitter are high school kids who could potentially look to come to Ohio University in the next couple years.
