Just as he did as a star player, Stephen Curry has put Davidson College back on the map.
News broke on Monday that Curry, the star of the Golden State Warriors, will serve as assistant general manager for the men’s and women’s basketball teams. According to ESPN, who first broke the news, Curry is the first active player to take an administrative role with an NCAA team.
Davidson approached Curry with the opportunity, and he will work alongside Austin Buntz, the new general manager and assistant athletic director for basketball development. Buntz was a member of the sports marketing team at Under Armour, which also sponsors Curry.
