  • Mega Conferences
    Non-revenue sports Football, of course, provides the impetus for any conference realignment. In men's basketball, coaches will lose the built-in recruiting tool of playing near home during conference play and then at Madison Square Garden for the Big East Tournament. But what about the rest of the sports? Here's a look at the potential Missouri Pittsburgh Syracuse Nebraska Ohio State Northwestern Minnesota Michigan St. Wisconsin Purdue State Penn Michigan Iowa Indiana Illinois future of the non-revenue sports at Rutgers if it joins the Big Ten: BASEBALL Now: Under longtime head coach Fred Hill Sr., the Scarlet Knights made the Rutgers NCAA Tournament four times last decade. The Big East Conference’s national clout was hurt by the defection of Miami in 2004. The last conference team to make the College World Series was Louisville in 2007. After: Rutgers could emerge as the class of the conference. You find the best baseball either down South or out West. The power conferences are the ACC, Pac-10 and SEC. A Big Ten team has not made the CWS since Michigan in 1984. MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY Now: At the Big East championships in October, Rutgers finished 12th out of 14 teams. Syracuse won the Big East title and finished 14th at nationals. Four other Big East schools made the Top 25. After: The conferences are similar. Wisconsin won the conference title and took seventh at nationals. Two other schools made the Top 25. MEN’S GOLF Now: The Scarlet Knights have made the NCAA Tournament twice since 1983.

  • BEST FOOD & BEVERAGE PROGRAM Kentucky Derby Festival
    BEST FOOD & BEVERAGE PROGRAM Kentucky Derby Festival (at Thunder Over Louisville and Kroger’s Fest-a-Ville on the Waterfront) a. The Kentucky Derby Festival is a not-for-profit organization which annually produces one of the world’s premiere community celebrations in Louisville, Kentucky. Since 1956, KDF has created fun, excitement, international recognition and a spirit that is unmatched anywhere. Each year in the spring, the Festival produces nearly 70 events during the two weeks leading up to the Kentucky Derby horse race. From Thunder Over Louisville, to the Great Bed Races, BeerFest, BalloonFest, and many, many more events, we bring the Louisville community together in celebration. The civic celebration attracts an estimated 1.5 million people to Louisville each year, while creating an economic impact of over $127 million. None of this could be done without the support of over 400 Corporate Sponsors and 4,000 Volunteers. b. The Kentucky Derby Festival has been working with Concessions by Cox for over 15 years. During the early years of the relationship, Concessions by Cox was simply a third-party vendor that provided dependable work and quality food. But Concessions by Cox has since proven to be much more. In 2011, the Derby Festival put the overall Concessionaire agreement out for bid, and awarded the agreement to Concessions by Cox. After a successful first year, the Derby Festival and Concessions by Cox entered into a 5-year contract. Concessions by Cox now manages our food and beverage program and they bring in multiple third-party vendors to participate. The contract with Cox is more than a written agreement, the contract is a true partnership with a trusted and loyal vendor.
