FB Alumni Event in NYC/New Rule
Posted: Tue Nov 17, 2015 11:35 amSMU posted info online today about this year's alumni event in NYC, where the football coach traditionally meets with alumni, and I've typically taken to Twitter/PF to post real-time updates during the event — except for the years when June was entertaining other job offers or about to quit...
Last year's event was canceled, and this year's event is at a new location, The Racquet and Tennis Club. I kinda found it funny that on the RSVP page, it says, "Electronic devices may not be used while in the club."
I'm hesitant to take credit/blame for the no phones rule being implemented. After all, we are talking about a venue that's a 100-year-old social club that still enforces a men-only membership rule. But it does seem kinda odd that SMU wouldn't want alumni sharing photos and social media posts about attending the event and meeting HCCM.
That said, if this new rule is indeed enforced, fear not, I'll just have to do it the old-fashioned way, take notes on paper and report back here afterwards!
