Hopefully in the fall…

Rutgers University (@rutgersu) announced the formation of Scarlet Knight Enterprises (SKE) in March, a new entity dedicated to overseeing the school’s multimedia rights, corporate partnership sales, ticketing strategy, and NIL initiatives. The shift in strategy was driven by the need to increase revenues and desire to have more control over its long-term destiny. The bet is informed by @OliverLuckXFL firsthand experience with a comparable model. "My thesis has been over the years that everything that happens in pro sports eventually seeps down trickles down, if you will, into big-time college athletics." “[I was] fortunate to have been at the very beginning of what Clemson did with CAPCO. Clemson Athletic Properties Company, which basically morphed into Clemson Ventures. And the track record for that organization has been tremendous,” Luck said. “They have completely outperformed the expectations.” The key was building the commercial operation around experienced pro sports executives. Rutgers intends to follow a similar approach. “...hiring folks who have professional sports experience, who understand the importance of revenue, who are strategic [is critical]. Michael Drake, former Legends, Atlanta Hawks, Atlanta Falcons, he's been running Clemson Ventures now for a couple years and doing an A-1 job; just knocking the ball out of the park."
