Trojan Club Advertising for Digital Scoreboard
Getting started late with Daktroniks, and forming digital advertising packages has caused some confusion with the new digital scoreboards.
Some ads have already been sold by individual sports that went directly to their accounts and for incorrect pricing instead of to the school and to the Trojan Club.
Solution: Coach Holland will tell sports that have bought ads will go along on the fence instead of in digital ads on the new scoreboards.
