The importance of inclusion in the reporting of historic events, etc.. ☮️

This will be interesting to see how it plays out 10 years from now.

Amazing. A first for a current student-athlete…league ownership! Women’s basketball has to be the hottest ticket in college sports and the NIL opportunities for stars like Paige, JuJu Watkins, Flau’jae Johnson, etc. illustrate just that. Several recent studies have shown the ROI from partnering with female athletes on social media drives 2x the amount of engagement than that of a male athlete. It’s not surprising that female athletes made up more than half of a list of college athletes with the most number of NIL deals during the 2023-24 season, a 38% year-over-year increase (Sponsor United Marketing Partnership Report). As a result brands have a unique opportunity to expand their sponsorship portfolios with these amazing athletes that goes far beyond the court.

Completed our first Young Alumni Panel for Athletics tonight! I’ve always admired the impact that alumni can have on current student-athletes. We are so thankful for our alumni who shared their experiences & how athletics helped prepare them for their current careers! Some gems from our alumni: - The biggest resource for you to manage isn’t going to be money, it’s going to be your time. - Learn to say no. - Communicate. Communicate. Communicate. - Bet on yourself.

Week 2 of my Duke Men’s Basketball: Race, Sport & Education is in the books! I absolutely love teaching this course. I created it to think deeply just how much Duke Men’s Basketball over the last century is filled with racial questions and histories. For example: What does Tobacco Road mean? Who performed the labor? Why did Jalen Rose call Grant Hill and other Black players “Uncle Toms”? Why are we enfactuated with the “White Villain” on Duke’s teams? What is Duke’s integration story? There are many more. What questions do you have about Duke Men’s Basketball? The students are dope too. Most of them are Duke Men’s Basketball fans, Cameron Crazies, tenters, and walking encyclopedias on Duke Basketball. They take it serious and add to the discussions. Also, the Men’s basketball players add so much to the class because it’s about them! Their engagement is essential to the course because most times they are talked about and talked at. I want them to speak for themselves about what their talent allows. #duke #dukembb #raceandsports

As a big fan of college football and basketball, I live for game days. But it turns out, the off-the-field action is just as intense. 🏈 🏀 With the recent NCAA settlement and ongoing conference realignments, college athletics is undergoing seismic changes. For institutional leaders, here are some trends to keep top of mind as we look ahead to the future of college athletics: - Athlete Compensation: The $2.8 billion settlement opens doors to revenue-sharing. Leaders need to prepare for the financial and structural impact of sharing revenue with athletes, while staying aware of evolving legal requirements around athlete employment rights. - Conference Shifts: Power conferences like the Big 12 are reshaping, leaving non-football schools (hello, Gonzaga University !) to make tough decisions about their future--do they consider new affiliations or risk being left out of lucrative partnerships? - NIL Dynamics: Institutions must rethink athlete support as NIL policies continue to evolve, while protecting institutional integrity and compliance. Is your institution ready for the changes ahead? #CollegeAthletics #HigherEdLeadership #NIL #ConferenceRealignment #Leadership
