From what I’ve seen, most of the sports information people cover several teams, and then several SID’s cover Football, at least partially, as it is so much work.
Oklahoma has it as 1 job, and you see that with a lot of the spring sports, like baseball. Not much to do during the fall, for baseball, with the exception of fall practices.
Troy even mentioned numbers at the boomtown event. I wish I would have written it down, but something like 94 people in the department are dedicated to just football and then another 40 or 50 dedicate at least part of their time for football. Football is such a beast, it needs a lot of attention.
This. It's routine for someone to split time with football and another sport, everywhere (including, obviously, Oklahoma).
