Miles family buys 100 tickets for students for Cure Bowl

Georgia State football coach Trent Miles has joined men’s basketball coach Ron Hunter in purchasing 100 tickets for students for the Cure Bowl in Orlando.

Miles and his wife Bridget have purchased the 100 tickets, which will be given to the second group of 100 students who attend Saturday’s men’s basketball game against Old Dominion at the GSU Sports Arena. The students must wear a Georgia State shirt and have a valid student ID to be eligible to sign up for a bowl ticket.

Hunter and his son R.J., a former Panthers standout who now plays for the Boston Celtics, announced on Tuesday that they had bought 50 tickets each to give to the first 100 students to attend Saturday’s game. The same rules apply.
