IT IS A TIME OF TRANSFORMATIONAL CHANGE
A “must attend” event since 2002 for anyone involved in the business of college sports, the Intercollegiate Athletics Forum provides an insider’s view from those who have guided the industry through the pandemic and are now focused on shaping the future of intercollegiate athletics.
The Forum’s speaker faculty consists of top industry executives who are on the front lines of college sports business, tackling the critical issues, negotiating the unprecedented deals and making the decisions that drive growth. In addition to the information and insights delivered on stage, the program’s networking opportunities will help extend the conversation around this changing business.
The gap between the haves and have-nots in college sports is only getting bigger. Change is imminent at both the NCAA and league level.
