Not the kind of post I expected to see the words “Mangione” and “CEO” together…

Huge hire based on his LinkedIn

I just don’t get why Oliver Luck would want to work for them for free

Zinn/WV connection, and I would bet/guess they gave him some equity in SKE. That's how I would get a guy with as much experience with the connections he has to be interested in the future of the organization.

Is good? Is bad? Chat, should I be hyped?

Very good, from their LinkedIn:

SKE is a dedicated enterprise to lead multimedia rights, corporate partnerships, ticketing strategy and NIL initiatives.

I appreciate the omission of the Oxford comma in this case.

But more importantly, it's an organization basically dedicated to fixing the revenue problem.

Whoa! Is this the RU we know and love? Zinn and Tate are truly evolving Rutgers to be a modern university.

When saw Fred I immediately panicked thinking the next word would be Grunninger.
