I track social media salaries by industry and sports is one of the lowest paying. Lower than nonprofits.

@FreeKeyThree Tbf it’s not creatives posting that stuff because believe me we have made this known…the people posting it are the ones you are already describing.

[Robert Trombley @RTrombley_MIZ]

@shanergraphics Sorry to hear that Shane! Love your work and the brand you built!

[diego renteria @sourceless]

@shanergraphics Keep your head up high Shane! You taught me so much and just helped me learn and understand things I had absolutely zero guide on, our conversations in the office about just how this industry goes and everything else in between. I’ll always be grateful for you.

[Shane Rust @shanergraphics]

@RyanJRiddle Thanks Ryan! I’m trying to keep that same optimism. Always a silver lining to everything!

[Shane Rust @shanergraphics]

I never announced this but given recent events with Mizzou content I wanted to make sure it was known I am no longer over seeing graphic content for Mizzou Athletics.

Attaching my portfolio and will continue this thread if you’d like to keep reading...

The time we spent together at Mizzou will always hold a special place in my heart. You are so talented and kind and the love you have for that school is unmatched.

You’re gonna do big things Shane! I believe in you! Always have from the moment I hired you 😉♥️

[Shane Rust @shanergraphics]

@alexxkaciee Took a chance on me when no one would. Humbled me off rip. Taught me how to be a professional designer and leader. Idk where I’d be without you Alex.

I’ll always be grateful for that time we had together. Our group had so much fun and we got so much done ❤️

[Shane Rust @shanergraphics]

@tjendebrock Thank you Tyler! I appreciate you sharing my work!

[Drew Morris @drewmorrisKC]

@shanergraphics I’ll always associate you with Mizzou creative. Ali, Jessi, you, my brother and others. So much talent to come and go through their athletic dept, they had it real good. It’s a shame now. Either way, I’m proud of you for standing on your values at the end of the day.

[Shane Rust @shanergraphics]

@NeekNeek__ @nyasimoneg No. I stepped away from Mizzou before the 2025-26 season began. Please read the thread.

[Shane Rust @shanergraphics]

@drewmorrisKC Same dude. Jessi and Alex mean the world to me. I would not be where I am or achieved what I did without those two…Eichel, Robert, Gougs, like list of talent that came from this school out there is endless and arguably unmatched. Just can’t keep any of them.

[Shane Rust @shanergraphics]

@CMaassen3 Thanks Caleb! That really means a lot! I try to remember there’s a silver lining to everything in life so I think it was for the best. I was not happy there toward the end and I think these last few months helped me find myself again.

[Caleb Maassen @CMaassen3]

@shanergraphics Always great work Shane. Embarrassing for Mizzou to let you go.

[Shane Rust @shanergraphics]

@ohchilesplease Yeah just below the original post in the thread I mentioned it but I definitely see how the original wording could be misinterpreted haha so that’s my bad.

[Shane Rust @shanergraphics]

@ohchilesplease I may have worded the original post a bit poorly haha…I haven’t been there since the 2025-26 season began. This wasn’t something I did following the events of the AI. I wanted everyone to know I was not involved in that because it would not happen on my watch.

[Shane Rust @shanergraphics]

@DallasJonesy Yeah my bad. I noticed after typing the original post I should’ve said “I haven’t been with them since…” and not “no longer” because I could see how that would get interpreted differently haha.

NIL is taking everything from college sports. It’s that simple.

[Shane Rust @shanergraphics]

@sourceless Thanks Diego! I’m sorry we only had a short time together. I wish we could’ve got more into your development but you were also VERY skilled already for not much experience in this environment. I was impressed. But I’m always here if you need help with anything. Reach out anytime!

[Shane Rust @shanergraphics]

@drewmorrisKC Thanks Drew! Last few months have been hard trying to figure out what that next step is. Never intended on leaving Mizzou. Was fully prepared to be a lifer haha.
