Georgetown Athletics Marketing guru Chris Grosse has done it again, garnering widespread press for the school's newest promotional concept: the marriage proposal.

This is just the latest unusual promotion the school has held under Grosse's guidance. In February of 2015, the women's basketball team had a Hail to Kale Night when the first 100 fans received bowls of kale. Any fan whose name included the letters K-A-L-E also got free admission to the game.
There was also a "BEETS by Georgetown " promotion for a women's game last season, complete with a beet juice chugging contest and a "halftime beet-boxing challenge."

I'm all good with entertaining promotions, but at some point is it too much?
Should a school with the rich basketball tradition of Georgetown require these gimmicks to get fans in the seats?
Are these promotions ultimately good for the school's image?
What say you?
