Kelly Comarda
General Manager
Tulane
Kelly Comarda’s work in college athletics has focused on athlete compensation and roster management. He co-founded Tulane’s Fear the Wave collective in January 2022 and later worked in Houston’s NIL operation.
Tulane subsequently brought Comarda back as director of roster management. That position connected roster planning with NIL and revenue-sharing arrangements, drawing on his experience working with the university’s collective.
