The article does not provide a salary for the position. If this is acceptable, it does say this from one paragraph,

"“We’re excited to be adding this executive-level position, which will be a vital part of our team as we move into the next era of intercollegiate athletics,” Tech athletic director J Batt said in a statement to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “With revenue sharing on the horizon, this role will put Georgia Tech at the forefront of developing and implementing a management strategy to put our coaches and student-athletes in the best position to compete for championships at the highest level.

This person will interact with anyone that has contact with players, coaches and staff. Mods, please delete if this is not permissible.

I’m not sure what point you’re making. Auburn has a similar position (and Bama) to deal with time consuming issues that distract the head coach. Teams have NFL liaisons, NIL mgmt, etc that are importhat, but best managed by “other” personnel. I see this for GT as an important step towards professionalism in the GTAA. 👍

See one more important paragraph from the AJC article concerning the new Player Management position. MODs, if this is going too far, please delete.
.
"Other key facets of the new role include, but are not limited to, working with the NCAA and ACC in player-management governance, directing and overseeing Tech’s player-management process in helping Tech coaches and administrators in their efforts to recruit, negotiate with and retain prospective and current Yellow Jackets, review contracts and evaluate talent".
