ST. CHARLES, Mo. — When Missouri’s new athletics director went on one of his first fundraising visits in the St. Louis area, he brought a prized asset with him.
Laird Veatch, the AD, walked into the room last Thursday. So did football coach Eli Drinkwitz.
That Veatch hopped on the fundraising trail before working a day out of his office in Columbia is unsurprising — MU hired him with his track record of bringing in money in mind. It’s less conventional to see someone like Drinkwitz operating as the co-pilot.
