If you like Purdue and social media, this is for you

Are you a Purdue fan, perhaps one who also dabbles in social media? If so, the Purdue athletic department has a cool new feature. It's called Boilermaker Social Rewards, and as the title indicates, it rewards Purdue fans for being social. The more Purdue fans use social media, the more points they earn and the more cool prizes they receive. If interested, sign up now; it's fast and easy.

Speaking of Purdue and social media, we highly recommend you follow @PurdueSports, @BoilerFootball and @BoilerBall on Twitter and like Purdue Athletics on Facebook.
