Big 12's Bo Carter Noted for Excellence
College Sports Information Directors of America
I want to commend Bo Carter, Sports Information Director/Historian for doing an outstanding job with the Big 12 Conference in Dallas, Texas.
Bo is a longtime member of CoSida. He has donated his services to your fine organization for years.
Previously Bo worked at the Old Southwest Conference and at Mississippi State University.
I have known Bo for over 35 years. He is always there to assist the media and anyone else who may have a request or a problem. He is one of the first ones in and last one to leave work daily.
I helped him with the 2001 Dr Pepper/Big 12 Conference Football Championship in Irving, Texas. Following the game I left the press box around 3 a.m. and he left the press box at 7a.m. Sunday morning. Others were long gone. You will need to go long and far to find someone to match his work ethic.
I know something about sports information directors or the 2005 politically correct title athletic media relations directors. I worked in the sports information office at Memphis State University (now the University of Memphis) from 1969-1973.
I think the time is now that Bo should be recognized for his dedication and outstanding work.
Bo Carter is a class act.
Sincerely,
Jim Brown
