“In one of her texts to Meadows, Thomas sent a dire message: “the most important thing you can realize right now is that there are no rules in war.” That text also said, “This war is psychological. PSYOP.” 1/
Generally speaking, SIDs and former SIDs should always be near the top of the list in Athletics Directors searches. Few other employees understand the entire mechanism of an athletics department the way SIDs do.

The best path to becoming an athletic director? First take a job as Kentucky’s sports information director. Dewayne Peevy headed to DePaul, Scott Stricklin now at Florida. Bodes well for

8-5 office hrs on top of game hrs should never be required or expected.
Taking adv. of unpaid or low-paid interns/GAs with full time hours & framing as "paying your dues" should never be accepted.
If you want people to be on call all the time, pay them to be on call all the time.
The issue with retaining younger generations of athletic coaches/admin has as much to do with the pay as it does the culture (not detailed here via CollegeAD). Destructive leadership, win at all costs, ethical/moral compromises are pushing passionate people out of the space

there will be a bunch of veterans telling stories of 2021 to new SIDs. “Wait, you had VB, Soccer, Football, Golf, Tennis, Basketball & Baseball/Softball AT THE SAAME TIME?”
#SIDAchat
Without better salaries and more personnel, communications offices will continue moving toward being a stepping stone to other athletics jobs and not a final destination career.
#CoSIDA18
Many SIDs would love to do this. Sadly most athletic departments don’t staff their comms office with enough personnel and resources to allow SIDs to dedicate this kind of time to feature stories.
If I were a SID or working in an athletic communications office, I would be focused on constantly writing feature stories on student-athletes across the department.
It can be a game-changer when it comes to NIL.
Here's why 🧵⬇️
No they wouldn't. In D-II and D-III, athletics recruitment drives enrollment. Half the students play a sport at many schools. Cutting athletics would be a crippling financial hit to many D-II and D-III schools, as they wouldn't be able to recruit as many tuition paying students.

Howard was a

player when I was a manager. All the players were nice to us, but Howard is the only one who would regularly hang out with us and always wanted to learn more about you and your family.

I wanted to share my collection of old school pennants. Had this since I was a kid. A few classic designs and a couple of no-longer-existing teams. A few have autographs (Lynn Dickey!) but they aren’t very legible anymore.

I worry less about another large scale incident in DC, and more about potential incidents at state capitols with less resources and less preparation.
baseball should have a tenth position on the field called the team historian. his job is to just know interesting facts about the team. he can stand anywhere and doesn’t have to field, but he’s allowed to bring food and drinks with him and is paid far more than the other players

Memphis laid off four from its sports information department in the past week - Including former men’s basketball SID Lamar Chance — and today the current men’s basketball SID Phil Stukenborg resigned. Really sucks.

The repeated use of “free speech” is questionable too. Nobody went to jail or was infringed upon by the government due to their speech. That’s all the first amendment guarantees.
I was in the committee that hired
@coachchaiahuff
and I just felt that we had changed the program. From 0-25 to the NCAA Tournament in three years is just remarkable. Those players who struggled through that season those from the first recruiting class deserve every bit of this.
Shout out to
@IowaWBB
for their message to our women's basketball team as they prepare for their Final Four game tomorrow! The Knights will play Smith College on Thursday, March 14, at 5 p.m. eastern time at the Capital Center Performance Arena in Columbus, Ohio. 🏀
T-minus 1 hour and 6 minutes until March Madness begins -- the Little Dance before the Big Dance, mid-major tournaments. It starts with the Atlantic Sun, which could be headed toward intriguing semifinals and final.
Kudos once again to
@SamAtkinsonSID
and the Division III men's basketball committee. Imagine if all those tight finishes had happened at the same time? Instead, we got one or two every half-hour this evening. Well done.

Other than the one that lists the wrong school, the file name on their resume doesn't concern me a bit. If the best candidate is "Draft 05.docx" so be it. I want the best candidate.
