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

Also frankly, for a lot of the old, rich, white folk here- if she wasn't so young and female.

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.

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.

Instead UW hires someone four years removed from college.

Htfh

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.

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.

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.

But a social media manager is not the one to get it done, obviously.
