Trillion Dollar Rooms: University of California Office of the President's UC Investments Way and National Action Network’s Live in New York Event hosted at the immaculate BlackRock HQ. The Theme was “Inspiration to dream big and invest well” I want to thank UC Investments CIO Jagdeep Bachher and Rev. Al Sharpton for their vision. While I was honored to be the MC for the event, I was also grateful for the opportunity to learn alongside a couple hundred of my peers embarking on careers in finance. This inspiring and enlightening day allowed us to learn directly from top investors representing over $10 Trillion in assets under management. It included everyone from pro sports franchise owners, media investors, private equity/credit, public finance, and fixed income leaders. We heard directly from Todd Boehly (CEO, Eldridge Industries); Doug Ostrover (Chairman, Co-CEO, Blue Owl Capital), Paul Viera (Founder, EARNEST Partners), Damien Dwin  (Founder, Lafayette Square), Tanya Van Court (Founder/CEO, Goalsetter); Michelle Gadsden-Williams and Oscar Pulido (BlackRock), among others. #Grateful #DreamBig #InvestWell

🚨 TAB New Issue Alert: College Athlete Money Questions for Athletics Directors 💰 With revenue-sharing on the horizon, TAB provides a list of money questions college athletes (and those that care about us) should be asking their athletics departments. 🐻 💙 💛 UCLA Athletics is the first to announce its plan to pay the maximum revenue share beginning in the Fall of 2025 🗣 TAB Podcast interviews with athletes from Oregon Cami Wilson, Nebraska @samuel-phillips , and FAU Joshua Moore, having success with NIL #PayTAB #NILforGood 💰 🇺🇸 #LinkedInSports

🚨 When I launched The Athlete's Bureau (TAB), last November, the goal was to work with award-winning student journalists and market leading pollsters to amplify authentic college athlete points of view on the business of college sports. This journey led us to every decision-making forum impacting the future of college athletics. Last week the NCAA and Conferences agreed to a multi-billion dollar settlement of the major antitrust class action cases filed against them and will usher in a new revenue-sharing model that finally delivers college athletes a fair share of the billions of dollars in annual revenue we create. The credit for this outcome belongs to the courageous athlete lead plaintiffs, powerhouse attorneys, indefatigable athlete advocates, state AGs, fair-minded judges and policy-makers, and the NCAA's President and a select group of forward-thinking college conference commissioners and ADs. We expect to formally endorse this settlement when it is approved by the court in the coming months, but in the meantime, here is our TAB analysis of the reported settlement and reasons why we believe college athletes will benefit from it and support it en masse. We are Winning! #PayTAB #NILforGood 💰 🇺🇸 #LinkedInSports

PSA 🚨: This week the NCAA, Conferences, & School Presidents will vote on whether to accept an offer to settle the major athlete compensation antitrust cases against them. 💰 A settlement could mean approx $15 Billion+ paid directly to athletes over the next decade (backpay + revenue sharing going forward). ➡ Later this week The Athlete's Bureau will issue a Settlement Special Report, but in the meantime here is an excellent primer of this week's historic events by Jesse Dougherty The Washington Post 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gN_kqDyc We are winning! #PayTAB #NILforGood 💰 🇺🇸 #LinkedInSports
