The South Florida Rattler faithful turned out last week to meet and greet Athletic Director Nelson Townsend and Head Football Coach Rubin Carter . In the process, the South Florida Rattlers raised $7,000 for the FAMU Athletic Department. They have vowed to raise an additional $3,000 by September 1, to bring their total contribution up to, at least, $10,000.
Coach Carter told the group of alumni and friends that he is committed to building a solid, successful football program, consisting of quality student athletes who go on to be successful young men in life. While Mr. Townsend shared his desire to operate the FAMU Athletic Department in a "more business-like manner" and intensely market the program.
