College sports information directors are part of the lifeblood of an athletic department. Underpaid, overworked and behind the scenes people who raise the brand of their student-athletes, coaches & schools. On this @CollSportsComm Appreciation Week, thank you SIDs for all you do!


I should check my email …



For today’s game, we will honor former SID Matt Rector, a long-time Purdue employee, who passed away unexpectedly on November 16. Rector retired from Purdue in Sept. 2021, ending a 14-year tenure, during which he worked with our program on a daily basis. #BoilerUp for Rector!


Is the @WhiteSox rotation the best in the AL? See them face the Cubs on Sunday Night Baseball on @ABC.






Vince Bianchina & Stephen Hrustich have hit grand slams in the first 2 innings for @NUCatsBaseball. I've been a college baseball SID for 16 years. I've never seen that before. Always a brave new world...

I might as well tweet it now — In a few short weeks it will be my last day with Purdue Athletics. I've been SO VERY BLESSED for the opportunity I've had for the past 10 years...but it's time for a new adventure. I'll still be around, just in the stands for a change 😉 #BoilerUp
