ASU committee explores Turkey Day Classic options
MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- The Turkey Day Classic could be moving back to Thanksgiving Day and welcoming back a familiar opponent.
During an Alabama State University board of trustees athletic committee meeting on Friday, board chairman Locy Baker revealed that ASU had formed a committee that includes "outside businessmen" to explore the potential of re-establishing a matchup with Tuskegee on Thanksgiving Day.
The game was played on the Saturday before Thanksgiving in 2014, the first time in decades it hasn't been played on Thursday. That move angered a number of alumni, including some of ASU's suite holders at its football stadium, and resulted in attendance dropping to just 13,156.
"Right now, we're just exploring all options and bringing everyone to the table," Baker said. "We haven't gotten very far with it. But I know all options are open and we're open to moving as quickly as we can with it."
