New Media Connects Fans Around the U.S.

ACU's reputation as the higher-education world leader in innovative mobile learning has moved to Shotwell Stadium for tonight's game.  Scott Kilmer (’01), ACU's director of new media, says the university has three features planned to bring fans together.  First is a live look-in from alumni watch parties that fans here can see when the CBS College Sports telecast – also seen on the Jumbotron scoreboard here – goes to commercial breaks.  Scott is following alumni meeting in places such as Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Boerne, Houston, Sacramento (Calif.) and Washington (D.C.).  Second, photos and video taken in the stands by some of the more than 2,000 students at ACU who have iPhones, will be uploaded to Flickr, and seen later tonight on the Jumbotron during game breaks.  Finally, fans will be able to vote on tonight's "Wildest Cat" by texting www.acu.edu/vote to choose their favorite.
