will he though? the role is needed. but as a fan, HS athlete, or booster ... I don't see how Woj moves the needle.
Spider Collective NIL
- Thread starter SpiderTrap
- Start date
Woj is extremely popular on social media - has 6.5M followers on twitter and many of them with notifications on. I imagine he'll find a way to use that platform/massive following to attract and market players, raise awareness and money, etc. I think he'll have to move the needle for them, at least some anyway.
Spider23 applying for the job. I know - the good ol boy network does not like me. But I would be able to drive this forward, keeping all accountable.
He has come a long way from when he played here in 2020…
I think the closest we have for basketball is Kevin Eastman or Ken Atkinson whenever he is done with coaching in the NBA. For football or general spider athletics, Todd McShay and Tim Hightower come to mind.

Further to my case
1) I promise to change my JR avatar.
2) Once, many years ago, I was playing on Kenny Atkinson's team in the carpet gym and was on a rare burner - and KA started calling me "Money" when I shot.

3) Open office hours in the RC. Spidernation want to chat with the new GM. Come on down and get in line: Tuesday's 11:00AM to 12:30 PM and Thursday's 3PM-4:30PM.
4) 11PM- Midnight - Will review all PR communications: 1st MS word spell check. 2) Review content and message. I'm not SF, but I will be an improvement in this area guaranteed.
Well, I can't say I am a great shooter, or very quick, or jump very high. Best attribute may be a "competition problem"
I still remember when I started coming full speed down the lane for a hook shot off the backboard.
For that day, I had the nick name “free toaster”.
This was so long ago a free toaster was still a “running bank hook” at financial institutions.
How cool is that? And I could definitely see Kenny doing something like that...that's just who he is...very positive, always complimenting...he was a great teammate and leader. Now, the question is did he also call guys like Rodney Rice, Eric English, and Curtis Blair "Money" when they got hot, or was that name just reserved for u. 😀

A message from Hardt promoting both the SAF and the collective:

An Update From Director of Athletics John Hardt - University of Richmond Athletics
Dear Spiders: Over the last few years, the national landscape surrounding intercollegiate athletics has been ever-changing. NCAA rules which now permit stude...
Very generic and bland. I think maybe something like this would have gone out - maybe with a more personal touch, right before the football playoff game - can say something like your contributions to the Spider Fund and Collective have helped the football team achieve great success, but to continue - we need your support.
I guess Hardt was getting bored and needed to write something?

Even when the orange man is grifting he gives something in return, Bibles, tennis shores, digital cards. But UR athletics? They killed the social organization supporting athletics. Just did a quick check, Clemson still as iptay, UVA the Vsaf, tech the Hokie Club and all still give return benefits to donors. UR?
I would guess not much for women's hoops unless your at a major program - so I don't think there is much trickle down to UR or the A10. In other sports, I think there is some effect - but limited to the top players. Example - I would expect some of the top women's lacross players - usually from UNC, would have some outside NIL deals with Lacrosse equipment makers, etc - mainly because college lacrosse and for many non-revenue sports - college is the top level (there is little to no professional). Yet - there is a large youth following in a lot of these sports, and therefore - the top star would be a college top level player. Now - is it the same money being thrown to basketball and football players - most certainly not. Unless you a Livy Dunne type, who has a massive following on social media that companies can utilize - and usually these followings are tied to other things than their performance in their sport.

what is gonna happen when they go to the MAC and are still getting beat down
Pretty soon the top guys will be hurting when they have to go league and take that big pay cut 😀
BYU handed out that much....meanwhile, if you want Mike Walz to come to your kids practice or birthday party, it will only cost you $60.
