College sports updates: NC State budget and Georgia Tech player development

NC State athletic director Boo Corrigan addressed several departmental issues during a preseason press conference, including the department's budget deficit and potential stadium naming rights. Regarding jersey sponsorships, Corrigan expressed a preference for deep institutional partnerships over simple logo placement, noting that while all-sport deals are becoming common in college sports, he seeks partners willing to invest in the university through initiatives like student internships.

Separately, Georgia Tech tight end Kevin Roche Jr. discussed his development during a media availability session. Roche Jr. highlighted his focus on becoming a primary red-zone target and his efforts to improve his blocking technique and physical strength to increase his playing time for the Yellow Jackets.
