Nobody seems to be coming up with any enlightened ideas on how to tame the wild animal that is modern-day college football where everything comes down to paying players more money. The status quo isn’t sustainable for my team, Wake Forest, because it doesn’t have enough money to pay the best players so we’re staring down the barrel of a lot of losing over the next few years.
Taking this disconcerting situation into my own hands, today I started furiously prompting the generative AI tool, ChatGPT, asking it what specific steps need to be taken to get Wake back on the winning track.
While doing this research an idea occurred to me that could work related to this but that truthfully just popped into my head. Every night for the rest of the season every Wake player should be assigned to type in 10 queries into the chatbot tool asking for ideas and solutions for the name, image, and likeness predicament and what the team and players can do to unravel this riddle.
Every morning the players and coaches should have a bull session – whiteboards and all with black and gold markers – brainstorming ideas AI gave them and boiling it all down to the best idea each day. And fully commit to taking action every day on the best idea.
The best thinking will rise up and that’s bound to translate to more victories – and even if it doesn’t the players will be versatile using generative AI which will be crucial for their survival after their football journeys end. Win win.
From my research, I found a few of Chat’s ideas that could have legs while others fell flat and didn’t seem to grasp hard truths and be up with times and realities.
But his one Chat labeled “Use Influential Alumni” resonated. This it wrote: “Leverage the success of prominent alumni to create mentorship programs.” immediately when I read this I thought about myself, a prominent Wake Forest alumni named Sammy Sportface. I would welcome being the mentor of every player on the team as long as they signed up for the Sammy Sportface Baby Boomer Brotherhood Blog and Demon Deacon Sports Nation. Win win.
If there’s one thing Sportface excels at, it’s mentoring athletes, teaching how life intertwines with sports, and how the delayed run-pass option mesh is a blue ocean strategy like the one Southwest Airlines used to become America’s most profitable airline.
I also was positively triggered by another Chat idea: “Incorporating virtual reality into training can help players learn plays and improve skills without the wear and tear of physical practices.”
Spending more time on computers rather than banging into each other on the field would reduce injuries which is always a net positive if winning is the objective which is the case here. More time at the computer means more players able to play in the games.
You may be agog to read this but Chat thinks outside the box if you type in “give me some outside-the-box ideas for Wake’s football team to win more in the NIL era.” It came up with this: “Collaborating with sports science, psychology, and business programs can offer innovative insights into player performance and program management.”
If the Wake players integrated football concepts with psychology and business principles I can see a team that out-thinks opponents which is how to win more games.
We got this, Demon Deacon Sports Nation. All we need to do is call on the powers of AI to resurrect our season and charge towards the national championship.
