There's not a college football fan around who doesn't remember Doug Flutie's Hail Mary pass into the Orange Bowl's night sky that landed into the arms of Gerard Phelan, giving Boston College a 47-45 victory over Miami on Nov. 23, 1984. Flutie not only went on to win the Heisman, but he put Boston College on the map. In the two years after Flutie's heroics, enrollment at Boston College jumped 30%.
It became known at the "Flutie Effect." The better a school's high-profile teams perform, the more enrollment will soar.
What does Doug think about this? Does he believe in the Flutie Effect? He joined us to answer that question and more in a podcast. Listen to what he has to say by clicking here or on the audio link below. Doug's an excellent guest and you'll want to give a listen. Length of the podcast is 15:35.
