There is epic value and supreme equity in attending Hopkins https://lnkd.in/gGhc8Qn6

The second comment we would like to highlight from the online journal is by Justin Elkin, entitled "Fool’s Gold: An Exploratory Analysis into How Recent Student Successes against the NCAA Poses a Serious Risk to Equity in College Sports" Check it out in the link below!

I get so geeked out when people find creative, alternative ways to solve a problem. The (pretty smart) Yale Bulldogs had a conundrum. Their team qualified to play (on a last min shot in their conference tournament, no less) in the NCAA tournament. Except there was an issue. The team was slated to play waaaay out in Washington state - a long haul from New Haven, CT - and it was Yale’s spring break. So when their pep band couldn’t make the trip, instead of the team having no band, instead they contacted the University of Idaho’s band director (U of I is just a short 90 min drive to the venue.) They asked them if they could “stand-in” for Yale as their band. Thats when the now-called “Vandogs” stepped in and became Yale’s surrogate band. And, well, it worked. Yale won their first game in a major upset, beating the #4 seeded Auburn Tigers!!! There are always going to be challenges and walls and “I just can’t”s, but remember there is the normal (often seemingly impossible) solution. …. and then there is the creative, authentic solution. And many times, those solutions are even better than doing “normal.” Link to the full article from ESPN in the comments. P.S. I have so many stories like this one that I’ve compiled in my next book, The 50% Rule, and that I can’t WAIT to come out in October. #ncaa #yale #band #authenticity Yale University University of Idaho

Really worthwhile to absorb the powerful words of Dr. Mijal Bitton My wife and I have offered our own perspectives on life and this week's Torah portion. We welcome you to join our discussion and share your thoughts. Here's the link to our conversation https://lnkd.in/eHRdJFfn

We know teaching the events of January 6, 2021—which are not a “moment,” but the product of a long history—presents a familiar, yet unusually urgent, challenge: how can students use historical knowledge and thinking to understand recent crises? Here are some resources that might help.

Yes, indeed. We had a robust conversation from a variety of perspectives. It was a great cerebral start of the homecoming weekend. The call was made, and the insightful responses were delivered. Kudos to the BisonHonors.com coordinators and Howard University School of Business Professor Abhijit Roy for the invite and hospitality. #sportslaw #SportsBusinessManagement #nameimageandlikeness #NILs #policymaking #lobbying #studentathletesrights #wealthcreation #entrepreneurship #brandmanagement #publicityrights

I'm always excited to learn of new things that are being made in my home state of Indiana.
