Especially given the tidal wave of NIL, media training in college sports is growing, fast and furious. Major schools like the University of Virginia are sophisticated and corporate in how they approach all of this. The deep pockets help.
Networking and Mock Interview session for @UVAMensHoops!! Looking absolutely awesome! Thank you, Coach and Laurel!! 🔶⚔️🔷 @VirginiaSports #GoHoos
"One issue not addressed by the contract is intellectual property, which the union named as a key area of improvement it was fighting for. Contracts between Gimlet and The Ringer unions also came up short on the topic of IP, a sticking point for Spotify." Hmm... stay tuned.
"Unionized workers at Parcast, a podcast production company owned by @Spotify, shared details of their new three-year employment contract today. The contract covers workplace issues like pay, diversity, healthcare, severance, and more." @ParcastUnion #1u theverge.com/2022/4/18/23030…
