Maintaining the tradition without compromise. 🐘

@Greg_Byrne of @UA_Athletics has a "fine line" to walk when it comes to generating revenue and balancing it within school tradition: "We spent a ton of time doing a lot of market comparisons, seeing where it is. … We've advertised in ways that we haven't before historically."

"I know sometimes institutions have been hiring people from the pros to make sure they're learning from there, and we are trying to learn from there too."

Chomping into the new era in a big way. 🐊

@FloridaGators leader @ScottStricklin has noted a few figures on NIL resources and rev share: "There’s probably, in (football), three or four outliers, and most everyone else that’s competitive is in the same band. I think we’re in that band. We’re not one of the outliers"

Per @GatorsOnline, MBB + FB rosters will be around $50M combined.

Building young and #WinninginParadise🏖️

@FAUAthletics AD @Brian_E_White_ believes that a young athletic department can be a benefit: "I don't think we could do all the silly Seinfeld stuff we did at some institutions or some of the creativity our marketing staff can have. … Our fan base is on board with it and it's a fun-loving group and we kind of have that culture. I think that's an advantage."

White also touched on the difficulty of retaining rosters even from paradise: "I mean, to me, it's a compliment to our league. As silly as that sounds, it's like our league is so darn competitive that we're right off the biggest leagues."

Via @HigherEdAD... 🎧

Sometimes it's important to take a different mindset when evaluating a coaching candidate for your department. For @FSAthletics + @KlassyDogs, it's thinking like a business owner: "Now, with the change of the House settlement, they have a dollar amount on the scholarships they pass out and that's determined on out-of-state, international, in-state kids. You have to be able to be a great budget manager."

Plus, Klassy wants to maintain control over head coaching hires: "can't see myself ever giving up the responsibility of hiring head coaches. ... I don't feel like you can have a strong athletic department if it's just the AD holding people accountable. I need student-athletes holding us accountable."
