For College Coaches, Staffs & ADs:

Financial Planning Designed Specifically for College Sports Leaders

Turn your scattered retirement & investment plans into one clear, college‑specific game plan in a 30‑minute virtual session.

You’ve moved all over the country for this profession. Your retirement money has too.

Different schools. Different state systems. Old TIAA accounts. Default plans someone else picked.

Meanwhile, you work insane hours, live on a 12‑month calendar, and have almost zero time to sit in a financial advisor’s office.

This page is for one thing:

To connect you (and your spouse) with a team that only works with college athletics so you can finally know:

  • Where all your money actually is

  • If you’re on track or exposed

  • What to fix first

1‑minute clip: Why college coaches need a different financial playbook.

Why College Athletics Is a Different Financial World

Your career isn’t built for “30 years at one institution.” Your retirement system still is.

If you work in college athletics, you already know your path doesn’t look like a typical university employee:

  • 3 years at one school, 2 at another, 4 at another

  • Non‑profit employer, but “highly compensated” compared to most staff

  • 12‑month grind: film, recruiting, portal, visits, camps… repeat

Most HR defaults and “campus reps” are built for the chemistry professor who stays 30 years, not a coach who moves often.

That's why:

  • You can have retirement money scattered across multiple states and plans

  • You may be overloaded in tax‑deferred accounts with no clear tax strategy

  • You and your spouse feel in the dark about whether you’re actually okay

The problem isn’t your work ethic. It’s that you’re playing a different game with a generic playbook.

What You Get in a 30‑Minute Financial GPS Session

The same clarity you demand from a game plan… for your money.

On this virtual call, Kevin’s team will help you:

  • Find your starting point

    Get a clear snapshot of where everything is now: TIAA, state plans, IRAs, cash, debt, insurance.

  • Map your trail of old jobs into one cohesive plan

    See what can be consolidated, what must stay put, and how to make it feel like you were at one place your whole career.

  • Identify your “next 1–2 moves”

    Practical, coach‑specific steps for the next 12 months: rainy‑day fund, tax positioning, protection for your family.

  • Include your spouse

    Spouses can join or even lead the conversation. Many of the deepest questions come from them.

No homework beforehand. No pressure to move anything. Just clarity, options, and guidance from people who live in your world all day.

Who This Is For

This is for you if:

  • You’re a college coach, AD, or athletics staff member

  • You want peace of mind and a clear plan, not a second job managing money

  • You want to learn more about why university plans are not a fit for most athletic leaders

Why I Trust Kevin

A couple months ago, a former player introduced me to Kevin Fringer.

Kevin:

  • Played college sports himself

  • Walked away from a Fortune 100 VP job over 20 years ago

  • Has spent the last two decades serving nothing but college coaches, ADs, and university staff

He and his team:

  • Are independent fiduciaries (they’re not tied to one product they have to sell you)

  • Understand TIAA, state systems, and the “three‑bucket” reality for coaches

  • Continue working with you even when you move schools and states

He’s worked with people across college athletics – head coaches, coordinators, ADs, conference leaders – and has walked them through the same situations you’re in now.

I’m not a financial advisor. I am a coach who’s seen too many good people finish their careers without a plan. That’s why I did a long interview with Kevin and why I’m pointing college sports leaders to him.
