In an interesting development, Quinnipiac’s basketball coach Baker Dunleavy resigned and moved back to Villanova, his alma mater, as its new GM.
If you didn’t know or had forgotten, Baker is Mike Dunleavy’s little brother. Here’s his job description: He will focus on “opportunities and education around Name, Image, and Likeness; the transfer portal; student-athlete brand-building and marketing; and advancing institutional fundraising in partnership with University Advancement.”
This is a trend started by Duke’s Jon Scheyer who hired the first collegiate GM just about a year ago.
Since then, it’s really taken off. Northwestern’s done it, USC has too.
