Harlan announced that the athletic department will be hiring a Chief Revenue Officer. He/she will be looking for every opportunity to increase revenue and work with the Collective on NIL money. This allows the coaches to coach. I am glad that Whitt will not need to worry about NIL. We already have a GM of football and now we will have a revenue officer.
On another subject, Harlan said he is not sure that they will increase football scholarships (can now be 105) because of Title 9 issues. It is tough to match 105 scholarships with women’s scholarships. That’s a lot of women’s teams, not to mention that there are a lot of other men’s programs.
