Perfect hire

That answers a lot of questions, and is probably what we mostly already knew was going to happen, but it's nice to have it confirmed.

Seems he's going to be the primary oversight for athlete revenue under the house settlement, probably will continue to carry on a lot of roles he was doing before with Good ol Grizzlies as well.

And he earned his undergrad and MBA from one of the best business schools on the country, The UM College of Business while he was starting @ LB for Da GRIZ !!!

One thing is continuing to raise the NIL-type money, I assume.

It's in the brand new GFP. Marcus will be working on student athlete revenues both internally and examining external opportunities as well. He still will be a part of GoG and the collective will continue to operate. It's kind of wild but Kent points out you've got different entities for revenues and Marcus will be the guy that works withing a few of those streams. GoG isn't going anywhere.

THE QUESTION is, is this a suit and tie position, or can he still wear his #37 jersey? Inquiring minds want to know.

I was asking for the email address and or phone number attached to Marcus thru the university which is not on the University website because my question pertains to official business with the University and is not related to Good Ol' Grizzlies. I have this address but I assume since he was now considered a member of the University staff it could have changed?

Yes. Most of us do.

You do not have it so stop trying to make yourself feel important because you are not.
