Top NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski’s decision to retire from ESPN is massive news in the basketball and media world. But what comes next for the former reporter is a story with significant implications in college basketball.
Wojnarowski is becoming the latest (and certainly highest-profile) name to accept a general manager position in college basketball, joining his alma mater, the St. Bonaventure Bonnies men’s basketball program. His role, per the news release distributed by the school Wednesday morning, will involve “managing a wide range of responsibilities including NIL opportunities and as a liaison with collectives; transfer portal management; recruit, family and alumni player relationships; professional player programs; and program fundraising.” After reporting for years on the inner workings of NBA front offices, Wojnarowski’s new gig essentially is leading the front office for a college basketball team.
