New NIL Manager for UW
Comments

You're just wrong about this. Yes, students can negotiate deals directly, but smart ADs are also structuring deals, via the school, that benefit entire teams. Which is, imo, where the future of NIL really is. Ie in addition to Alaska sponsoring the field, they structure something (like UW jersey sales or whatever) that benefits the whole team. As others have said, UW will struggle if we are relying on a superstar player to go ink a big deal. The school needs to be proactively pitching & brokering deals that are team wide.FremontTroll said:
You're way out of step with what this position is. First of all- the students themselves through agents or representatives are the ones that actually sign the deals. The best thing UW can do is provide a platform for advice and management to students on how to build their brand and provide education and promotion in the local business community. UW is doing similar things as other schools with their Boundless whatever program and partnering with Opendorse.PostGameOrangeSlices said:
UW needed to hire someone with a business background and pedigree to walk into a board room with multi millionaires, and convince them to give money to the players. A charasmatic negotiatior with executive successes.FremontTroll said:
Also frankly, for a lot of the old, rich, white folk here- if she wasn't so young and female.RaceBannon said:UW never had an issue with local support of the program. The Husky Fever era where the logo was everywhere
Question is whether that same effort will go for the players
I can see a scenario where the program is competing against the players for cash
In a hotbed like Bama all the program advertising and tie ins are sold. Players are the only avenue
Nobody knows nothing. I suspect if she wasn't another duck this thread would be shorter
Look at me RIP her
One of the biggest attacks seems to be that she isn't starting for two weeks so she must not want the job? Which two weeks is completely standard? Its not her fault UW didn't make this hire 6 months ago.
Instead UW hires someone four years removed from college.
Htfh
This scenario of someone from UW making deals in local boardrooms is just totally imaginary.
She did 3 years as Social Media Manager at PAC-12 and 3 years as Social Media Director at Golden State. Read the job listing- it was asking for a Bachelor's degree and three years of experience. If she did a good job with Golden State then she is qualified- I have no idea but nobody else here does either.
But a social media manager is not the one to get it done, obviously.

This might be a good thing, porn is a $billion dollar business.
Don’t twist -
I'd have at least taken 30 seconds to delete shit like this.

yep being old and white agree - but I still think if she worked Hooters rather than BWW she would have a better shot at winning people overRaceBannon said:

Agree on the timing not being her fault -
I was gonna say y’all were being a bunch of salty old bitches, until I saw this and her saying she’s not getting rid of her Oregon gear. In a vacuum who gives a fuck but given the overall performance of the athletic program hiring someone who proudly flaunts Oregon and shits on UW and who is supposed to be a social media guru who doesn’t even have the wherewithal to delete a few tweets shitting on her new employer is a bad look.DoogerMcFarland said:I'd have at least taken 30 seconds to delete shit like this.

Even if she were to have success at UW and do a good job, she'd LEAVE the moment Oregon or Phil Knight offered her a chance to work for them. Which they would. Because they care.

Ppl leaving is fine because they were successful. More ashamed that the uw athletic dept didn’t catch this and tell her to take it down. Not surprised. They suck.DoogerMcFarland said:Even if she were to have success at UW and do a good job, she'd LEAVE the moment Oregon or Phil Knight offered her a chance to work for them. Which they would.

These UW bashing posts are too much. There is a most basic competency and professionalism missing in this Karen.
In a way, this hire more than any other proves to me Jen's total incompetence. Even a cursory vetting would have exposed all of this shit.
The best thing for both parties is for Jen to dissolve the agreement and both to part ways now. You just can't start a department this significant with this much express bad will on the part of your employee. -
the level of incompetence to hire someone clearly anti-UW and not afraid to voice that publicly to RUN YOUR BRAND, is flat out unforgiveable.DoogerMcFarland said:I'd have at least taken 30 seconds to delete shit like this.

DoogerMcFarland has ALL the screenshots he needs!
Will be interesting to see how long before they are deleted. In other words, if people at UW athletics are actually on this board.
