Sports Business Secrets Kevin Tarca

That school paid how much money??
Wait, that kid went back in the portal?
That school doesn't even have a collective?

Questions that are uttered on the daily...

Today I went on a little rant about the changing landscape in college sports. Now approaching three years from the day NIL became a reality, you would think that we would have this situation figured out.

It's quite the opposite. I feel like today is more chaotic then ever before.

Today’s guest is Jordan Green, Chief Experience Officer at Ballogy!



Jordan is a former collegiate and pro athlete who is a remarkable example of how you can turn your skill set and passion into a life long career after the ball stops bouncing! He was a three year start at Texas A&M University, played for the San Antonio Spurs G-League affiliate for 3 years and then spent one year playing professionally in France.



He had a short stint working with Ernst & Young in between his playing years, and after hanging up the shoes (for real the second time), he stepped into a big role with Ballogy, a software company that is transforming the way athletes prepare for their sports.



Today we talked about:


When he first started getting serious about basketball


Getting state ranked early and what it really meant


His recruiting process and why he chose Texas A&M


How he built relationships the moment he got to college


Preparing for a job in something other than sports
