Happy Fourth of July! We’re proud to serve up a good conversation for your enjoyment on the beach, by the pool, or pregaming a trip down to Jimmy’s.
UNCW Director of Athletics Mike Oblinger stops by for his annual summer check-in just as college sports enters a new era thanks to the House Settlement and the seismic changes resulting from revenue sharing.
Among the topics we covered:
* Mike reflects on his second full academic year in Wilmington, with the Seahawks again hanging multiple banners while experiencing plenty of success beyond competition.
* The Seahawk Club and fundraising is reaching new heights
* Another offseason, another shift in NIL
* Numerous facilities projects, both big and small
* More progress for the women's basketball program
* The men's basketball scheduling philosophy
* Channeling the MBB momentum for athletics as a whole
* The changing landscape of the CAA and the league's health as a whole
