Hawaii’s AD did an interview with local media about his first year. Plenty of interesting insights about NIL in Hawaii, the stadium project, and all that, but when he was asked about his intentions to make Hawaii a global brand, and he noted that he wants a Hawaii game to be played in Japan. Notable quote below:
“I’m also trying to take a football game out there. I had a team lined up to play us over in Japan. That’s part of the reason I went there. Can we take a team to one of the stadiums in Japan and really make a big splash over there? The team has since backed off because of the distance and they’re in another conference now. I’m seeing if there’s other teams, but I’d like if we could play football over there and really try to make inroads there."
Fascinated to see if Hawaii will do another international trip like they did with Cal in Australia back in 2016.
