Amanda Leland - Ted's daughter. I had no idea this position was in the works - can anyone elaborate?

I don't know why this press release makes me feel not great, but I hope the MBB program does well.

It’s the new way. Football hired an assistant GM

Agree with Fullmetal that the press release is awfully fuzzy. I just hope she concentrates on filling the seats. Make the games fun, including half time, and lower prices. You can raise them when you fill the house. Serve pizza to the students., etc. I trust Smith to bring successful BB back.

Given Reveno is the men's basketball GM it will be interesting to see what get's delegated to her....
And Reveno as GM is interesting since he presumably still reports to Smith since he's associate head coach compared to Football GM Andrew Luck where the football coach reports to him.....
I also wonder if any other sports will get general managers....

Yes, it is a bit fuzzy but her experience seems to at least fit her role to a decent extent. I agree also that putting people in the seats for both Basketball and Football should be job number one and cutting prices and giving the tickets away is necessary. Once we prove we can win and tickets become worth something, start raising the costs once again.
Muir was going to step down at the end of the academic year, so I presume he is gone. If true who is running things Andrew and the President? I also assume Women's Basketball will get GM.

In an LA Times story today about UCLA sports, they expect football and basketball assistant GMs to help with recruiting, navigating the transfer portal and determining how much to pay individual athletes from the House settlement, among other duties.
