This isn't serious, right? The press release makes it seem like the Panthers are going to collect some young talented local college athletes to rep their brand. Probably some social media stuff, selling student ticket packages on campus, and such. D'Eriq King already graduated and probably has more time than most college athletes.
Seems like a good idea. Wake athletes could get deals like that with the Dash, Grasshoppers, the hockey team that plays at the Annex, etc. It's not NHL, but it's something.
"King will appear at Panthers games, develop merchandise and concessions..."
