Marshall Hopes Barrett Public Relations Push Boosts Athletics
Tony Constantine reports Marshall's selection of Eddie Barrett as director of athletics aims to intensify state wide support to fund and build athletic facilities. Barrett will leverage Huntington and Charleston media, WVU rivalries, and public patronage to finance a larger football stadium and stronger programs. Barrett’s WVU ties and state media access position Marshall to counter WVU’s influence in state politics and alumni reach.
