Auburn signing w/ Nike is shocking. Aside from Maryland, there's no school UA valued more.
Auburn won a 🏆 in 🏈 (UA's founding sport) w/ Cam (long time signature athlete) AGAINST Nike's school of record- Oregon.
Nike’s ad for Caitlin Clark delivers on so many levels.
Here’s six of the details that add up to make this sports marketing & advertising at its finest. TAKE NOTES 📝
Congrats to Caitlin,

A protester carries a U.S. flag upside-down, a sign of distress, next to a burning building early Friday, May 29, 2020, in Minneapolis. Protests over the death of George Floyd, a black man who died in police custody Monday, broke out in Minneapolis for a third straight night.

To anyone who thinks NIL and no sitting out in the transfer portal is good for college sports… I give you the death of bowl season. Something really cool has been ruined. Congrats “player empowerment” folks. This is on you
It is INSANE to me how billion dollar brands in college athletics don’t invest strategically in marketing.
You could thoughtfully serve recruits AND the business/brand/team.
As an outsider looking in, it seems like many college athletics programs need to restructure marketing.
Hire a CMO. Put creatives, social, brand, etc. on one team. Assign sports but let resources be nimble.
Give the CMO authority to protect, grow & advocate for the team.
Mean Green student athletes equipped this fall with strategies to build their personal brand. Thank you
