With the Hall of Fame recognition game coming up in the Convo, what better time to raise #40 into the rafters? "All my inside sources tell me I have no inside sources."

An email from a long time supporter of OU outlining Carolyn's accomplishments now sits in the ad's mailbox with copies to Dr. McDavis, the chair of the hall of fame committee and the board of trustees chair. I think we'll be seeing a new jersey hanging in the Convo next year. Thanks to all who continue to support this most worthy cause and recognition for a fine example of a great student and athlete.

As I’m sure you’re well aware, there has been considerable suggestion and discussion to add the jersey of Bobcat great Carolyn Mast to the rafters of the Convo. Many folks have spoken to senior athletics administrators over the past few years in an effort to make this a reality. Complete and comprehensive data has been supplied to support that request – all Bobcat fans are waiting for now is the announcement that this will become a reality. Should you need additional letters of support or if there is a formal nomination process to make this happen, please let me know and I’m sure that we can provide that information in a timely manner. Thank you for your attention to this most important matter. Go Bobcats!

My response that as the MAC player of the decade (80's), that recognition was greater than any that they'd find for any individual that competed in the Convo in the past 30 years. As least they are working on it, though.

Do we recognize her at a Mens game, so more people can be a part of it? I don't think that's appropriate. A women's game, with 1000 folks or fewer perhaps? Do we go between games of a doubleheader, which only happens once or twice a year? What if the honoree is not available for those particular very limited dates? I believe a lot of care has to go into how and when this is done for maximum exposure and the schedule has to work for both parties.

Agreed on all counts, but, the problem is, the determination hasn't even been made yet to hang her jersey.

Would this sell tickets? I don't really know. Trent's jersey retirement drew 11k against Miami. it may not be a fair criteria.

Second whether or not it sells tickets is totally immaterial to her consideration for recognition.

So they didn't "retire" Trent's jersey. The point about ticket sales is that athletics is probably trying to leverage an event for maximum exposure and dollars.

Why not make this a twofer: hang the MAC championship banner for the women's 2014-15 season and Carolyn's number in the rafters on the same day. It would make a nice ceremony and indicate some continuity for the program. "All my inside sources tell me I have no inside sources." Salvatore "money bucks" Mafiosiano.
