Decorative tubs of iced Cokes were available at 9:30 a.m. Thursday as the Coca-Cola Co. and Georgia Southern University announced a 10-year, multimillion-dollar continuation of Coke's exclusive marketing deal on campus and for Eagles athletics. The Eagles' move into the Football Bowl Subdivision and the Sun Belt Conference has multiplied the value of the marketing agreement about tenfold, GSU President Dr. Brooks Keel told reporters. "Our recent joining of the Sun Belt Conference and moving our football program up to the FBS is turning heads and is putting Georgia Southern in the national spotlight," Keel said in his remarks at the lectern in the Bishop Alumni Center.
