I think it's going to lean toward the DPP, but with added responsibilities similar to an NFL GM. I think they will be responsible for leading the recruiting efforts (maybe not closing the deal), scouting the portal or the potential portal, hiring/firing non-coaching staff, ensuring roster compliance and managing NIL/revenue sharing. I think it will also have elements of the Assistant AD of football (whose R&Rs are similar to an NFL GM from an operational standpoint).

The uniforms may be divisive but the accompanying video is so funny
There is also zero evidence that NFL guys won't work in a GM type of position (not coaching - plenty of evidence of that). There is actually no data either way. It really depends on what the structure of the organization is and the roles and responsibilities are as to whether or not an NFL front office type can be successful as a GM at the college level.

# | VT BoV Approves increase of athletics budget by $47.1m this year, growing to a total budget of $212m in 2029 Mike 100% played a roll, but we also moved up in sports a couple years earlier and then were accepted to the big east for all sports at that point, so we were moving in positive directions prior to Mike.
Yeah, send these monstrosities out on a good note.

# | Hokies unveil a new NMA helmet for Homecoming / 🟠Orange Effect🟠 My problem is there are too many orange / white uniforms out there between Cuse, Clemson, and Tennessee, all nearby or in conference too. Our shade of maroon made us stand out.
Buuuuuuut..... the metallic orange visor absolutely fucks. Give me AME with those visors any day of the week

# | Hokies unveil a new NMA helmet for Homecoming / 🟠Orange Effect🟠 "NMA-lite"
Please no UT color connections!
First thought was "Blech I hate it", after a few seconds it's solidly meh. Don't love or hate. Kind of get the ol Bucs vibes from it
Just put volunteers on the uniform. This is ugly as fuck.
Very Tennessee but also love this look

I don't mind the orange but I would prefer a maroon VT to pop and stand out.

# | Hokies unveil a new NMA helmet for Homecoming / 🟠Orange Effect🟠 I like it but it smacks of Tennessee which makes me cringe a bit too
Not quite NMA though as the jerseys are edged with Maroon around the numbers
This is about the third time this has been pitched to the Big 10 and no deals were reached the first two go rounds. Guess we will see what happens.
Well, in almost every case it's true. When I worked for DuPont and they decided to get rid of their chemical division, the Carlyle Group swooped in and bought (took over). I can actually say they ran us well and overall things remained almost seamlessly. Now, with that said, they only owned the new company for a short time (2-3 years roughly) so maybe they didn't have time to destroy it.
I worked for a company that was bought be a private equity firm, they were buying companies to package them up to sell to a larger company, during that time we got investment capital to build our products at a larger scale and we got profit sharing which was great. It was probably the best few years I worked when you balance everything from a job. But we were a lean company already and engineer ran and focused so we got money to engineer more, and more pay on top of that. As al the companies under them grew they became more profitable during a sale, a d then they sold and that company was fine, but then they got a bad leader and were a mess and they sold off pieces.
So while it is 100% easier to buy and slash so the books look good, a few exist to prop up smaller companies and build portfolio that iz attractive because of the people and technologies they possess. That is much more work and doesn't work for every industry.
this however end with Purdue and Northwestern losing funds to be door mats.
We look like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and not their good era.
