Duke News Article/Publicity Thread

Wrong thread? Admittedly it's a HUGE deal though.

Good data point for what top, long-tenured sportswriters make, who don’t do podcasts or TV. Lowe making $1M/yr seems reasonable.

Bill Simmons is worth $100 million last time I checked.

I have never heard of this guy and he's out here making 350K per annum for writing about sports.

That’s obscene money for a soccer writer in America, even if he is top tier.

It appears that Wahl is mainly a soccer guy, so that makes sense.

Michael Bloomberg was fired by Salomon Brothers and started Bloomberg LP.

Wahl should use the firing as motivation and start his own company instead of whining about it on twitter dot com.

 

[rome8180]

Yeah, I find myself siding with a CEO on this one for once.

 

[bluedevilruss]

It was shameful for him to only work for $245k as a soccer writer for a failing magazine. Good luck on those optics homey.

 

[sjsj2448]

Just a sublime setting.

Sort of reminds one of the Champs-Elysees in the Fall with the chestnut trees.

I am assuming Duke's PR/brand Ops people will be ahead of the rest of the sport concerning this

Also makes it even more impossible for a top recruit to choose a lesser prestige hometown school over the big names with media exposure, especially Duke. Duke won't even need to pay recruits, whether it has been happening or not in the past; Duke players will make more money than any other school's players from these endorsements and opportunities.

Arkansas should be pretty badass in the future if all the local billionaire boosters pony up

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

If Jalen Green rethinks his G League deal and wants to play for Duke, does K take him?

 

[DurhamSon]

Maybe with like 2-3 years left tops the marketing people should, uh, stop centering so much of the brand around Coach K?

The auction is currently up to $26,000 as of Saturday morning. (It's on Fanatics.com)

That is sadly cost prohibitive for me. :(

But maybe one of our high fliers here will win!

How can you not love Coach K?

AT NCSU announced just now-

BREAKING: Chancellor Woodson announces that fall semester will begin August 10, nine days earlier than originally scheduled and will end before Thanksgiving. There will be no fall break.

This means that the students can be on campus two full weeks ahead of schedule and believing their football team will be good this year:/
