We all chose this life. We continue to choose it every day. I LOVE what I do. That said, coaches being completely out of touch with the realities of the industry is a serious problem. And it is contributing to the mass exodus of support staff.

In every athletic department there is a fridge that has a ridiculous amount of chick fil a (or similar) sauces in it that no one wants to throw away but that no one trusts enough to use. You cannot convince me this is not true.

The worst part about this is you know there was some social media manager who told leadership exactly how this was going to be received, was ignored, and now is being asked to manage the damage from the the very thing they said was a bad idea.

If you’re a student athlete you get a jersey in a frame. If you’re an event management intern? A credential. #TeamIntern is a great group and Travis is one of our best. Congrats on a great season @travisloecke ! You killed it but the best is yet to come and I. Can’t. Wait. 🌪

Exit interview with our AD yesterday and he told me it seems like I have zero ego and asked where I learned to work like that. What I didn’t tell him is that in MSU event management you arent allowed to have an ego due to the fact the FT staff will roast you any chance they get.
