MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – Old Dominion Athletic Director Wood Selig said he expects more than 5,000 ODU fans to attend Monday's Myrtle Beach Bowl football game between the Monarchs and Tulsa, and added that he hopes that 1,000 students are among those who will be there.

ODU has sold more than 3,700 tickets, including hundreds of tickets bought by fans for students to attend. The Old Dominion Athletic Foundation also began a Crowd Funding effort that has raised $30,000 and was headed to $40,000 Friday afternoon to pay for student tickets and travel expenses.
