Every player on UCF's women's basketball team will make money off her name, image and likeness.

 

I played basketball as well. We're based in Central Florida. UCF was the logical team for us to partner with. ...

Nick Friedman, a Tampa resident, is a clueless moron .... a very rich clueless moron ....but still a clueless moron.

He lives in Tampa and he thinks the most logical WBB team to partner with is UCF..... just  because of their name. Jose's team got plenty of local exposure this last season so if you want to try and blame this on the athletic department, go for it. He obviously doesn't follow WBB and picked them just because of their name ...... clueless moron.

Well that clueless moron is a millionaire while our athletic department can't figure out how to get local businesses to support their programs, but if you want to keep blaming everyone but the athletic department, go for it ......

Unless Friedman called USF first and was turned down, he didn't let that moron do anything. Does MK need to, somehow someway, need to get more local businesses involved? Absolutely .... even though I personally don't think anyone would be able to get that much more locally in our present location .... but this particular situation has nothing with that and I'm not even sure bry would agree that it does ..... okay, that could be a stretch.

We should probably hire an entire team of people that then gets to hire entire teams of people that then get to hire entire teams of people that then get to bring on hundreds of people that’s only job it is to get people to not be completely oblivious of our team and to get money from people. What if and this is a big what if we had already established a relationship with the guy and his company or perhaps tried to be on the forefront of getting sponsorships for our athletes instead of always being one of the last to market?

VPMK and CJS are great at getting out to every other sporting event in the area, boosting them on social media and getting their pictures taken supporting all of the winning teams in Tampa how about for once getting people to want to go to our games and have a reason to support our team in the way you so enjoy doing it for everyone else? You know your ******* jobs. You know how happy you and everyone look in all of those pictures? Now go into our stands and see if anyone looks anything like that? Maybe if you fix that problem getting money maybe a smidge easier. 
 

Two years ago you could walk into any Bucs game, so the tide can change as quickly as you would like but you actually have to try to do something well.

It's their job to know who in their community is willing and able to give money.   It's a black mark on the department that someone in their backyard thinks that ucf is a better place to spend their money than us.   Maybe they reached out to them and were told no.   But the big question now is what are they going to do about it.   Apparently in your world, they do nothing and just wait for people to come knock on their door.

Why should he be calling us? We should be calling him and stopping by, we are the ones trying to sell something and bring brand awareness. It’s our job to know that these businesses exist and are looking for branding opportunities not their jobs to see if maybe a team called South Florida exists in Tampa and is interested in free money for their athletes.
