Episode 6 - 150 Million Pounds of Pressure with Ian McCaw, Jay Jacobs, and Tommy McClelland
Manage episode 312719188 series 3243424
We all know that sports has become big business, and no sport has seen as rapid growth as college athletics. Gone are those days when a retired coach kept the seat warm as the athletic director.
Budgets today have grown to over one hundred and fifty million dollars, with staffs topping two to three hundred people. The pressure is enormous and the expectations are high. On today's episode, we hear all about it.
Join us as we catch up with not one, not two, but three athletic directors, Jay Jacobs from the University of Florida, Ian McCaw from Liberty University, and Tommy McClelland at Louisiana Tech. All jumped in to give us a peek behind the curtain of being a college A.D. As always, thanks for listening.
