Show me the money! Having fun by sharing every day athletic development problems (both parodies & real life examples) one tweet at a time. #AthDevProblems

Now that my conference wardrobe is packed, my attention has shifted to rehearsing industry jargon I’ll be pretending is part of my daily vocabulary. #NACDA26

[AthDevProblems @AthDevProblems]

I’ve laid out my entire conference wardrobe. We’ve entered a phase best described as ‘unnecessary excellence.’ #NACDA26

[AthDevProblems @AthDevProblems]

The NIL era is basically the homebrewing craze all over again. Lots of people suddenly became “experts,” a lot of questionable results, and every person involved is convinced they’re excellent. #AthDevProblems

[AthDevProblems @AthDevProblems]

Nothing says ‘Be Mine’ like a five-year pledge.

[AthDevProblems @AthDevProblems]

Forget flowers — send unrestricted funds. #AthDevProblems

[AthDevProblems @AthDevProblems]

We’re in a committed relationship… with our mission.

[AthDevProblems @AthDevProblems]

My heart beats in 501(c)(3).

Funny how every industry networking event comes with a hidden agenda: the official agenda is just for show—the real work and conversations happen after hours.

🚨 PORTAL STATUS 🚨

Still committed.
Still aligned.
Still fundraising.
Still negotiating.

[AthDevProblems @AthDevProblems]

🚨 DEVELOPMENT PORTAL WATCH 🚨
Sources confirm multiple senior development officers are “happy where they are” while quietly asking their agents what a donor base with liquid wealth looks like.

The transfer portal may be free to enter, but competing in it isn’t. Please support the transfer portal fund because thoughts and prayers don’t cover NIL. #BackInBusiness #InItToWinIt #AthDevProblems

Back in the office today. Not trying to boil the ocean, just trying to get the low-hanging fruit off my to-do list, but my brain is filled with buzz words from #NACDA25 Probably need to circle-back, collaborate or maybe talk offline to either sunset this list or land the plane.

[AthDevProblems @AthDevProblems]

Cleaned up, dressed up, and networking like I didn’t just spend the afternoon floating in a pool. Smiling through the apps and drinks I didn’t pay for. #NACDA25

[AthDevProblems @AthDevProblems]

Which roundtable is covering the fine art of student-athlete alumni relations when your “alum” has lettered at three different schools during their college tour - proudly sponsored by The Transfer Portal? #NACDA25

[AthDevProblems @AthDevProblems]

Making the rounds in the exhibit hall, finally putting faces to the names of all the vendors who’ve treated my inbox like a public bulletin board. #NACDA25

[AthDevProblems @AthDevProblems]

1. The identity of @AthDevProblems
2. Their best million dollar donor solicitation stories
3. How bad their hangover will be in the morning

The lobby bar at @NACDA, where athletics admins from across the country are having a drink.

Wonder what they’re all talking about lmaoo

[AthDevProblems @AthDevProblems]

‘Twas the night before FOAD, and all the rookies are taking the edge off at the Marriott World Center lobby bar like they just got let out for recess and forgot how to behave. Pace yourselves, folks. It’s marathon, not a sprint! #NACDA25

[AthDevProblems @AthDevProblems]

After a weekend of talking to my bathroom mirror, I’m fully prepped to corner strangers in the hotel lobby with my million-dollar donor solicitation story. #NACDA25

[AthDevProblems @AthDevProblems]

‘Twas the night before the House Settlement took effect. May this chapter in college athletics soon be history.
