It's been a busy time, and an exciting one, for our client Athletes.org (AO), a fast-growing players association for college athletes. Last month, University of Notre Dame invited AO to campus, where AO’s leadership talked with current ND athletes across several sports over a two-day window. They discussed the implications of the House v. NCAA settlement proposal and other issues related to the historic labor movement in college sports.   Then AO was mentioned in the House settlement proposal itself. The plaintiffs attorneys wrote:  "To assist in obtaining ongoing information from college athletes during the Injunctive Settlement Term...Class Counsel will call upon established college player advocacy organizations to provide input on the views of class members, including from Athletes.Org led by Jim Cavale...” On Friday, Jim Cavale appeared on SiriusXM to talk with Rick Neuheisel and Chris Childers about the House settlement, revenue sharing more broadly, AO’s meetings with Notre Dame players, and more.  The insightful interview begins at the 28:00 mark in the link below. #sportsbiz #sports #sportsindustry #sportsbusiness #media #news #journalism #NIL #labor #money #finance #economics #marketing #sportsmarketing #consulting #communications #linkedinsports #strategiccommunications #mediarelations #branding #collegesanduniversities #socialimpact #linkedin https://lnkd.in/g8N-d9B3

Not sure we could have said it any better: "One of the largest integrated marketing agencies in the Southwest, blending high-level issues management counsel with robust services across digital/social, branding/creative, media buying and analytics ... a hybrid agency that remains as comfortable producing paid content as it is in the earned media realm and combining the creativity of a hot consumer shop with the strategic savvy of a corporate communications firm." #PR #marketing #integrated #comms #media #social #analytics

Yesterday I was privileged to spend a day in Middlesbrough and South Tees with Isac Mitchell and colleagues from You've Got This, one of Sport England's deepening places. Being relatively new to Sport England's work in Place, it was great to actually chat to partners and organisations working in the communities we invest in and understand what place based systemic work looks like in practice within South Tees. As I drove home, my head was spinning. Reflecting on the day and the conversations I'd heard, two things really stood out to me: 1. If we want to tackle inequalities at their root, the work which we do in communities and our local and national policy must account for the multiple ways inequalities manifest in people’s everyday lives - recognising the role which intersectionality plays, is key, in not only understanding inequalities in physical activity, but also wider inequalities, and creating solutions to overcome them. 2. There are passionate people right across our communities who are desperate for change and we need to ensure that 'we' build the capability and capacity, and the means by which communities, and those with lived experience can advocate for, influence and be involved in policy and decision making relating to their own spaces, places and communities. Despite my head spinning from the sheer complexity of working with complex challenges associated not only with physical activity, but also poverty, ill-health, education etc. which are manifesting in a Place, I'm really excited to continue to be involved in the wider Place work moving forwards.

The interesting thing about private equity firms investing in college athletics is that it is being thought of as an additional stream of revenue for college athletics to pay the athletes. However, I think that private equity firms will mostly wnat to invest in bigger programs leaving smaller ones with more questions than answers. If those smaller programs cannot find enough additional revenue to pay athletes then they may have to cut certain sports. The first ones that may come to mind for programs would be some women's sports but it is not that easy. By cutting women's sports programs will have major title IX implications that go along with that decision. College sports are definitely in an interesting spot right now.

In this video, filmed in November 2023 , I was at an event organised by VES, which is the Association of Quality Clubs in the Netherlands. I was delivering a presentation on staff retention but at the point in this clip I'm talking about what I call generational clubs. And the question I was asking was have we been around long enough now where there are different types of clubs that different generations are attracted to, as opposed to what's closest or what's cheapest?

It was an absolute pleasure to sit down with Dr. Bridget Burns and Doug Lederman to discuss all things #leadership and #highered on the #weeklywisdom. As I shared on the call, the leaders, mentors, and advisors who've had the greatest impact on me are those who have focused their attention on bettering the lives of those around them. In higher ed, we know there are many problems to be solved, but as leaders, solving those is secondary. Instead, good leadership is about motivating, inspiring, and empowering the people in your organization to do the great work they already want to do.
