Instructions: The president and board of trustees have retained your services to continue with the reorganization and revitalization of Krakus University’s athletic department. Based on the recommendations you made, you need to create a marketing plan to help market the athletic department both internally and externally. The most important thing to be marketed is the department itself.  With the number of changes at the University in the last five years, it’s critical the college community understands and supports the new strategies for athletics. Having a well-developed marketing plan is essential to the athletic program’s success, and must be linked to the University’s core mission and core values.The president and board are committed to moving to NCAA Division II as they think it will help academically, financially, and with the University’s overall image. There are several Division II schools within a two-hour radius of Krakus and initial membership conversations with the commissioner have been positive. Since the move to being a co-ed institution did not go over well with the alumnae, the president and board want to be sure they don’t make the same mistakes with the move to Division II.Upon approval of the president and board, your plan will be presented to the Krakus community, the surrounding community, and alumni across the nation. The vice-president of alumni relations and athletic director will travel to different alumni events to present these changes personally.
