In 2010, FAU had a decision to make. Find a venue to "host" their football game against Michigan State, or lose a significant pay day. FAU decided to go with the former, but with their usual home stadium out of the question, the powers-that-be in Boca needed to get creative...and did they ever. Former FAU Athletics marketing guru Dexter Lamont and former Senior Associate AD (now currect UCF AD) Terry Mohajir tell Ken the story of why, and how, FAU hosted Michigan State in Detroit. From moving to Michigan, to cold-calling rich NBA owners to Howard Schnellenberger flying in a middle seat in coach...this one has it all.
