Alexander, Murphy send call to action for support in Tech football, construction projects

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – With business leaders from the Upper Cumberland converging on Tucker Stadium for the monthly Cookeville/Putnam County Chamber of Commerce’s Business Before Hours event Tuesday morning, Tennessee Tech head football coach Dewayne Alexander and former University of Denver and Columbia University athletics director M. Dianne Murphy – both Tech alumni and former student-athletes – issued a call to action and support.

As the west grandstands stood to the right in silent witness, its final season in place set to begin in just weeks – Tech’s first home football game coming on Sept. 16 against North Alabama after back-to-back road contests at Furman and New Mexico – Alexander and Murphy urged the gathered dignitaries to support the Golden Eagle program and continue to invest in the changing landscape of the Golden Eagles’ home.
