Our core values are shared by our partners engaged in sports studies across the Ivies, and the Symposium is itself a manifestation of our collective interest in advancing the health, welfare, and social responsibility of the industry as well as an appreciation for and understanding of the importance that collaboration, dialogue, and networking play in making this possible. It is in this spirit that we invite you to engage todays event. Those of us affiliated with Columbia University can be identified by the Columbia University Sports Management pins on our lanyards.

The Ivy Sports Symposium Fellowship Program was created in 2011 to provide talented graduate and undergraduate students with a unique opportunity to actively contribute to the success of the Ivy Sports Symposium. Each year, the Symposium selects up to two students to provide critical support on a variety of Symposium ventures and to work with the Executive Director on many important organizational tasks. Jessica Fadale is currently pursuing her MBA from the Isenberg School of Management and her Masters in Sport Management from the Mark H. McCormack Department of Sport Management at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. She is also a 2012 recipient of the National Society of Hispanic MBAs Scholarship. For her summer internship, Jessica was an event manager for Eident Sports Marketing in Providence, Rhode Island, working primarily with endurance events such as Ironman. During her time with Eident, she worked with major brands such as Life is Good, UnitedHealthcare and Amica Mutual Insurance. Other past professional experience includes working in the college athletics sphere for the University of Arizona and Southern Methodist University athletic departments, mainly in revenue-generating roles. She also has experience with Peter Jacobsen Sports and Major League Lacrosse. Outside of the office, Jessica has enjoyed coaching womens lacrosse for the past six years, most recently as the offensive coordinator for the University of Arizona Lady Wildcats. Jessica graduated from Brown University in 2010 where she double majored in Education and Sociology.
Kayla McCulley is a second year MBA and Masters in Sport Management student at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. She is a frequent contributor on womens sport leadership for national media outlets such as Women Talk Sports and espnW. In the summer of 2012, Kayla interned with the Anheuser-Busch InBev global account team at Octagon developing branded marketing campaigns for Budweiser for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil. Prior to attending graduate school, Kayla served as the Governance Intern at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). In that role, Kayla worked directly with presidents, commissioners and athletic directors to formulate major policies and spearhead strategic communication efforts. Since June 2011, Kayla has continued consulting for the NCAA on its Division II social media strategy. Kayla traveled to Switzerland as a 2009-10 US Fulbright Scholar to study sport law and conduct independent research at the Universit de Neuchtel. In collaboration with the International Centre for Sports Studies, Kayla authored a paper on FIFA transfer regulations that was selected for presentation at the 2010 Association for the Study of Sport and the European Union conference in Ghent, Belgium. Kayla graduated from Pomona College in 2009 with a double major in International Relations and French. She was a four-year member and senior captain of the varsity lacrosse team and currently serves on the Alumni Board of her alma mater.

7TH ANNUAL IVY SPORTS SYMPOSIUM
weaknesses. While it is undoubtedly important to strive for future goals, remember to take some time to set aside the ve-year plan and absorb the present. Perhaps the most important advantage we have gained during our time as Ivy Sports Symposium Fellows was a close advocate whose insight has helped the other dene their best assets, a partnership that will ultimately provide much greater returns than going it alone. An anecdote from Jesss rst year of graduate school illustrates this point. Upon arriving at UMass, we were matched with alumni mentors in the industry. With ambitions of working in college sports, I was paired with an associate athletic director at a Division I university known for its strong athletic tradition. My mentor was perfect: she worked at a prestigious institution, possessed intimate knowledge of college sports and was highly personable. Moreover, she was a former lacrosse player just like me. It was an ideal match, until I realized that the desire to work in college athletics no longer burned as brightly. Throughout the year, however, a classmate often expressed his passion for college sports, particularly fundraising and development, the very same functional area as my mentor. While struggling with my own frustrations and uncertainties of being back on the market, I found an opportunity to connect my classmate with my former mentor. Despite my initial hope that his experience would have been my own, assisting a friend in reaffirming and developing his career proved to be an incredibly rewarding experience. In our view, this story is what networking truly means. Tomorrow, next year or two decades from now, the classmate or friend sitting next to you today will do anything within their power to get your resume on the top of the pile, provided you have invested the time and energy in developing bonds of fellowship. With so much emphasis placed on getting ahead and separating oneself from the competition, too easily we forget how important these ties are at each stage in a career. As this experience with the Ivy Sports Symposium has revealed, working together - not against each other - could be our differential advantage.
hat is sport without competition? Traits inherent to the game - besting an opponent, setting goals in practice, scouting rivals are recapitulated by the business world. Many successful executives point to their playing days as formative leadership experiences. Just as teams jockey for position on the eld and on the court, would-be managers are told by experienced professionals that landing a job in sports is like winning Game 7 of the Stanley Cup - a highly improbable feat. It is not uncommon to hear about unpaid, temporary internships receiving hundreds of applications. Indeed, a win-at-all-costs attitude abounds in sport to an extent not seen in other industries. While cutthroat competition encourages hard work and dedication, too often a young professionals focus becomes clouded by thoughts of getting ahead. Interns accept meager salaries and long hours, all in the hopes of driving their career forward. Undoubtedly, many of those trying to break into the sports industry feel a sense of isolation and frustration, especially as they watch their classmates in other industries scale the corporate ladders and progress in their careers. It helps to remember that you are not alone in this endeavor. Shared experience, while disheartening at times, creates a common language to express doubts, fears and aspirations. For us, these conversations are often just as valuable as practicing interview skills or rening resumes. The ability to step back from the Darwinian environment that is the sports industry and seek feedback from peers is critical to better understanding your strengths and

The influence of sports stretches beyond the lines on a field or the confines of a stadium. Teams, leagues, athletes and corporate sponsors have the profound ability to become both sources of positive influence and resources for underserved communities and individuals. Do these influencers have a responsibility to contribute to society at a local and global level? In what ways can sports aid in promoting education, health and tolerance, ensuring long-term and scalable solutions to global development challenges? This session will examine the strategic importance of sports in the development and social impact space as well as address future opportunities in the advancement and evolution of this industry.

The college sports landscape has experienced sweeping changes over the last couple of years. As revenues continue to increase for major programs, the line between collegiate properties and professional ones has become blurred. At the same time, the abundant and complex rules and restrictions that leaders at all levels face are constant sources for stirring debates around topics such as the student-athlete experience and the question of true amateurism. What strategies can leaders, especially at smaller universities and conferences, implement to take advantage of commercial opportunities while maintaining the highest moral standards and integrity?

Ownership of a sports franchise is certainly desirable for any enthusiast, but the real question for financial buyers and private equity firms is whether sports teams and enterprises are good investments. Is it a space reserved for those with a love of sports, or should any savvy businessman look to the industry as a high-potential money-maker? While many teams fail to achieve a positive operating profit, they tend to rise in valuation over time. What are the drivers of value for sports teams and what can we learn from Manchester Uniteds IPO about the value of major sports franchises? What implications does the continuing trend of foreign team ownership have on sports?
