Returning LDS Missionaries.
Extra Points dives into roster management and whether or not teams that has returning LDS missionaries have an advantage or not. It’s a great read and some of the highlights are discussing how athletes go from a “me to we” type of mindset. how big of a transition it is upon returning, and developing the skill of resilience. Overall, there are some benefits and some challenges to having a returning LDS missionary on the roster.
Wolf Pack NIL
In Chris Murray’s weekly mailbag, he speaks about Nevada’s new announcement, Friends of the Pack. This is a fan/alumni group raising money for NIL through small but consistent donations. The idea is that a little bit from everyone goes a long way. Also, it creates a definitive line of separation between players and the athletic department in terms of how the money is funneled. This and more in this week’s edition.
