When I first came to work at FAMU (straight out of A&T) in 1981, there were 13 Aggies working here on campus. One was James Barrett, who was Director of Auxiliary Services. Others were professors and people in their university business office. Currently, one of their top attorneys is an Aggie.
But aside from that, there are dozens of Aggies working in state government, city/county government and private industry in Tallahassee and in the Big Bend region in general. It's not a small, sleepy town anymore.
As SAAB said, Florida is loaded with Aggies. My best friend from A&T lives in Tampa and stated he is never leaving. There are quite a contingent of Aggies on the Sun Coast (Tampa/St. Petersburg/Clearwater). It's a great area to live in. I have a friend from A&T who just retired as the head surgical nurse at one of the Tampa hospitals and she says that she is never leaving, either.

To increase our national brand, we need to attempt to increase our TV time.
I'd love to see us get some advertising in the Atlanta Braves' stadium or the Washington Nationals' stadium. I noticed that Eastern Michigan University has a panel on the right-field wall in Comerica Park in Detroit and it is constantly being shown during Tigers games.
Using a little of that $180+ million for TV commercials during the local news in Charlotte, Atlanta, Raleigh and Richmond would work well, too, IMHO.
