What a great interview transcript w/ SMU Ad Damon Evans and Deputy AD Brian Ullmann. They cover so much and I think it shows how important people like Ullmann are to the athletic departments right now. Saving this one for my dissertation introduction. dmagazine.com/business-econo…

Chuck Norris 🥺. Man, I know he was famous for a lot of reasons, but Walker Texas Ranger was my favorite show as a kid. Off the screen he lived life to its fullest, clearly.

@CrimsonCast If previous ISU administration would have been proactive & invested properly in MBB he probably would not have left (I worked there w/ him). He isn't a big school guy. Should've built a MBB facility (share w/WBB & VB in a campus building). Saint Louis will keep him a while, IMO.

Robbie Avila was 1 of the most unique athletes I ever worked w/ in college athletics. It was fun getting to know him at Indiana State while on the NIT run. I wish Saint Louis and Louisville were on the same side of bracket for an Avila/Ryan Conwell former ISU matchup. Two great guys.

I am surprised at how little Athletic Directors invest in LinkedIn. If you're a D1 AD in this commercialized modern era of college athletics, I think you should have LinkedIn Premium & regularly be posting and engaging w/ the business people in your region & alumni base.

@DanWolken I feel like he'll stay at USF....they're investing and building a great athletic department with a lot of fans showing up. Winters are a little nicer in Tampa, too.

@bportnoy15 I wondered if he would have been up for the Syracuse job, too.

Thanks D1Ticker for including my interview with Chance on the ticker this weekend. Fun conversation.

Remember the news about free concessions? 🍿💸 How did that go? Well, according to @GoCCUsports AD @cmiller05 it opened up quite the tree of game day decision making for fan-goers' wallets. Miller also addressed uniform patch inventory being bundled into the Chanticleers' MMR deal, "So, a lot of people that are in current MMR deals have negotiated that to be separate and apart from their current MMR deal. We did not." 📰: drvco.omeclk.com/portal/public/…

@redtailsforever @FOS I mean at this point that'll be a bunch of QBs that aren't eligible for the HOF yet lol...I definitely think the game has changed to the point where coaches that haven't coached in the last 5-10 years is pointless to be on TV.

Tony Dungy’s exit from NBC Sports highlights a quiet shift in sports media: former NFL coaches are disappearing from TV. Seats that once went to seasoned, gray-haired coaches are now filled by younger, recently retired players.

@AndrewBrandt Safe to say he’s probably a playbook genius at this point? I imagine he’s been in almost every system possible.
