As NIL and revenue-sharing continue to alter the landscape of college sports, more and more programs are hiring general managers to oversee roster construction. Even Indiana is getting with the times.
The Hoosiers are hiring Ryan Carr, the senior vice president of player personnel for the Indiana Pacers, as their executive director of basketball. Carr was a student manager under Bobby Knight at Indiana from 1992 to 1996. After graduation, he worked for the Indiana Pacers in the video department before taking a job as an assistant coach at UTEP from 1999 to 2003. He rejoined the Pacers as a scout in 2003 and eventually worked his way up to SVP of player personnel.
