Thigpen says the new partnership between CCU and Dick’s will give more exposure to the school.

"It’s a really exciting feeling to know that we’re getting a line out here at dick’s sporting goods and it’s nice to know that people are starting to recognize coastal. it’s not just you know, a small college here in conway. it’s a school that people around the world are starting to know about so it’s really nice to be able to get our name out," Thigpen said.
