Alabama State University generates $901 million and 10,500 jobs for the state each year, ac*cording to a report commissioned by the school.

Officials said the study is part of a broader push to remind the local business community of the school's growth and development over the past several years. ASU leaders hope to drum up support as they cope with state funding cuts and mull another possible tui*tion increase.
"We want this business com*munity in this region to recognize the importance of Alabama State and invest in it, and support it," said John Knight, a state repre*sentative and Alabama State's ex*ecutive vice president and chief operating officer.
The report, done by the Wash*ington Economics Group, based in Coral Gables, Fla., found the school generates $885 million for the River Region, including 9,714 jobs and $111 million in state and local taxes.

JC, you won't believe the interest that other colleges have shown in the interest and economic explosion that's going on at ASU. In respect to those other colleges who have shown interest in ASU's tremendous growth, I'll respect their privacy. I am really impressed in the hiring of ASU's new baseball coach. I got a chance to hear him speak, and I was speechless. Years ago when a study was done, It showed where ASU was Coke-a-Cola's largest customer, then Maxwell AFB. If I was Coke, I would give ASU a kiss with passion. :lol: :tup:

I think the new coaches on ASU's staff will thouroughly enjoy the "Fan Appreciation" gathering out at Gateway Park on Aug. 19th.

JC, you beat me to it. :tup:
