Conference USA Best Practices: Memphis Travels in Style

Travel is a certainty.

When you are a D-1 athlete, you know you'll play a lot of games on the road. And I'm a believer that many teams don't take advantage of this in their recruiting. Where do you go? What do you do when you go? Where do you stay? Traveling with your friends, your teammates, can have a huge impact on the type of enjoyment you get out of your college experience.

Memphis takes a great step in this direction.

Hit the Memphis University basketball page and enter the Tiger Hoops Experience (from the right-hand side of the page).

That takes us here, to "This is Tiger Hoops", shown below.

When you drill through the site, you'll see Traveling in Style, a look at the Tigers on the Road. You'll see that the Tigers are one of the only teams to Charter flights to all their games. You'll see a glimpse into the inside of said plane. (nice)

And, as you'll note below, you'll see the places the team stays are pretty nice -- the Intercontinental in NY, the Hilton in Houston. Are those great hotels? I don't know. But I do love the positioning that they are.

How could this be better? We have facts. What I'd love are emotions. How can we get there? Photos of the team on the road. What did you do? Where did you eat? What was the funniest thing (or the scariest) that happened when you traveled? I'd love to see the personality come out from the platform that's been created. (Oh, and like we mentioned yesterday, make this easier to get to and share!)

That's it. Come back tomorrow for a final look into the best practices across Conference USA Digital.

Don't forget, you can follow along on Facebook (here) or on Twitter: I'm@pawlow34.
