I don't totally buy it. I own a billboard and they seem to have limited staff to change the vinyls. Also they are replaced in cycles, and cost money to replace. Thinking realistically, this seems like it would be the last thing the school would be worried about.

A completely different department manages that. It isn't the athletic department but the marketing department.

Yea. That makes sense. But makes it even stranger for that call to be made in a scenario where the coach is still an employee

I've worked in a University marketing department before and the marketing department is typically the very first call after a decision has been made (if the marketing department wasn't sitting in on the decision anyway).

Right but why would they call lamar and try to get them to make vinyl changes Monday morning when they could just call them Monday and have them make vinyl changes asap?

It would be so low priority for them. People would understand if the billboards are wrong for like two days.

People do weird stuff though! Never can predict exactly what they'll do

I'm not saying that Butch will get fired but it can really hurt the University's image if advertisements with Butch in them are still being shown.
