The impact!! I originally created this map to see which states students who engage with The Sports Connect are located in and noticed that other countries were also being represented. When I first started this page the goal was to connect with HBCU students, but this has grown bigger and better than I imagined. Check out the photo below to see the states and other countries that have students engaging with The Sports Connect ☺️ Top 5 Cities: New York City, Atlanta, Chicago, Washington, and Los Angeles.

It would be interesting to do a series of articles that frame the impacts of key decisions impacting US Women’s Basketball over the years. Examples Title ix, creation of college conferences, tv revenues, other media revenue, formation of WNBA, transfer portal, new TV deals, NIL and lastly the destruction of the PAC 12 conference (impact on small universities and athletes and coaches).

As March Madness nears, I can’t help but to ask….. Imagine you’re at the Sportsbook ready to make a wager on the big championship game. One team focuses their entire pre-game effort on interviews and PR. They tout themselves as great basketball players, wear bright, shiny uniforms, and have the best facilities with a huge public platform. But their approach to the game is to wing it, because they don’t actually understand the rules of the game. They have no communication, no practice, no set plays, no true game-plan, no coach, no direction. The other team doesn’t do any media, their uniforms suck, and their facilities are subpar. They don’t have enough cash or resources to invest in the same facilities but they work, very hard. They practice, communicate, and gameplan as a team. Their fan base is small, yet mighty and dedicated. They have a very high acumen of the game and they know how to play. So, which team do you bet on to win? Now translate this as an analogy to recycling. Do we want to look good and get in the news, or do we want to win the championship game and succeed? Or better yet, how about we combine the resources of one with the work ethic and gameplan of the other and create one All-Star unit. The equation is simple: Big producer funds, resources, and goals + (good) local recyclers work ethic, understanding, and geography + true State assistance and funding = limited logistics costs, better collection and consolidation, local solutions, better margins, more efficiencies = year over year NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

In launching the new Premier League season at the end of each summer, we get our first taste of what's to come. But what is the Community Shield, and what’s the point?

Arts and culture fuels Florida's economy. We've seen the arts' transformational power on multiple industries in South Florida. Think of Wynwood Walls, the Arsht Center, and the Design District; there is no investment in real estate, tourism, hospitality, and so on without the arts. #CrisisCommunications #NonProfitCommunications #PublicRelations #NonProfitPublicRelations
