Behind the scenes of almost every Ole Miss athletics team is a dedicated group of managers — many of whom are graduate students.
Riane Griffin serves as a graduate manager for the Rebels women’s basketball team and is a first-year graduate student studying sport and recreation administration. Prior to her start in Oxford, Griffin served as an undergraduate assistant for the University of Tennessee at Knoxville’s Women’s Basketball program working in operations.
Growing up in a football family in Las Vegas, Griffin became interested in working in the sports world at a young age.
“I didn’t think I’d be a manager of the team at all,” Griffin said.
