Looking forward to supporting @DePaulAthletics on an initiative focused on secondary ticketing strategy and execution. By leveraging market intelligence, pricing insights, and industry best practices, we'll help identify opportunities to maximize ticket value, drive attendance, and support long-term ticketing success. Excited to help the Blue Demons strengthen their ticketing operation and unlock new opportunities.

The strongest food and beverage partnerships are built on more than financial terms alone. They require alignment across revenue goals, operations, governance, and the fan experience. In this case study, discover how Altius guided a Power 4 institution through a disciplined, market-informed analysis of RFP bids and supported a negotiation process that unlocked additional capital, enhanced vendor accountability, and positioned the institution for sustained long-term success. 🔗 altiussportspartners.com/#ca…

🗞️Personal news🗞️ — Thrilled to join @FOXSports as its new college sports writer. First up, a dive into the NIL market + how two years after a $20M roster won a title, spending has ballooned. How'd we get here? I asked around the industry for an answer. foxsports.com/stories/colleg…

Excited to begin working with @sacstate on a comprehensive market assessment and financial analysis of its athletics revenue ecosystem. The initiative will evaluate both existing and emerging opportunities across ticket sales, sponsorships, parking, concessions, licensing, merchandise, pouring rights, and other key commercial assets. Looking forward to supporting the Hornets as they explore strategies for future growth and long-term success.

With a decade of experience across client partnerships, athlete development, and revenue strategy, Erin helps institutions take a long-term approach to growth, creating sustainable impact in today's collegiate athletics landscape.

As college athletics programs look to unlock sustainable revenue growth, ticketing is often viewed as a pricing challenge rather than an organizational one. This case study highlights how Altius partnered with a Big East institution to evaluate its ticketing strategy, sales capacity, and external operations—identifying an integrated approach projected to generate $8M in new revenue over five years. 🔗 altiussportspartners.com/#ca…

Appreciated the time today with Altius’ Senior Advisors @Rick_L_Hart and @SportsLawGuy. From governance challenges and CFP expansion, to Title IX risk, athlete employment, private equity, and what sustainable revenue actually looks like long-term—these are the issues leaders are wrestling with, and conversations like this keep us focused on what matters most.

In 2024, less than 10 percent of our client engagements touched areas outside of NIL. That number doubled in 2025. Today, more than half of our client engagements include “Beyond NIL” advisory services. Learn more about our evolution here: sportsbusinessjournal.com/Ar…
