Who would be our top faculty in Sports Management?
Perhaps Darrin Nelson as Faculty Chair (former AD at UCI)
Andrew Luck, 2010?
John Elway, 1982? GM for Broncos (Guest speaker; Advisory Council)
John Lynch, 1993?, GM for Niners (Guest speaker; Advisory Council)
James Lofton, 1980?
David DeCastro, 2011 (OLine Steelers)
Phil Knight, age 87 as Sponsor
Tiger Woods (golf, yachting)?
Tim Mayotte, 1978 (tennis)? Successful local Venture Capitalist
Casey Jacobsen, 2002, Broadcaster FoxSports (Guest speaker; Advisory Council)
Ask Brad Freeman (related to $50M)
Ask John Arrillaga also (Basketball)
Susan Hagey Wall, 1980 (tennis)?
Katie Ledecky, 2021 (swimming, aging miracles; 14 Olympic medals / 9 gold), [How does she do it at age 28?]
-- She holds the WR in 1500m set in 2018 at 15m20s, and at 800m. She owns the 22 fastest times recorded in 1500m.
If Katie is "busy", get Janet Evans.
Kerri Walsh Jennings, 2001 (volleyball)
