What a great move! Don't know exactly what his job duties will be but it's a good bet that Privateer NIL funding will increase and well as attendance just for autograph nights alone. The program has been a nothing burger for years. Very out of the box thinking. How about if SJSU or Santa Clara hires a retired or retiring tech exec? Even USF. The rolodex of one of those guys should be dynamite vis-a-vis contributions/donations.
But this won't help: "Reports: New Orleans hoops suspensions over gambling probe"
