Higher education is an environment ripe for discovery, new knowledge, and innovation. However, the role of Athletic Director at university levels still reflects the commonly seen disparities between the representation of race, gender, experience, and perhaps most ironically - education level. Beyond Black and White, what are the underlying factors for the still murky ‘pipeline’ to administrative leadership in American college sport? In the latest field study report from the Global Sport Institute, research reveals that much like coaching, the diversity at the top is still very monochromatic and that more often than not, non-white athletic directors hold higher degrees in education than their white counterparts. On the next Global Sport Matters Live, we ask experts predominantly white institutions and historically black colleges and universities to shed some light on the pathways into the position and what opportunities look like, and what the role of the Athletic Director demands in a pandemic (and post-pandemic) world.

On the next GSM Live, guests return one year later from all around the world to talk about how they and sport have transformed over the last year.

Historically, positions of leadership and power in professional sports and organized sports, in general, have been occupied by men. What if pro sports were owned, designed, and run by women? How might the experiences change or stay the same – the competition formats, the way athletes are treated, the storytelling themes that get elevated, and the cultural conversation around the value of sports and their intersection with critical issues in society? Recently, we’ve been offered a look into that crystal ball. The success of the National Women’s Soccer League has been driven by a female commissioner with female celebrities as investors. Female athletes have brought the WNBA to new heights by leading the way on racial justice themes in sports. New women’s professional softball, volleyball, and lacrosse leagues introduced by Athletes Unlimited look nothing like traditional men’s leagues. Join the Aspen Institute’s Sports & Society Program for our next Future of Sports conversation on April 16 from 12-1 pm ET when we explore these developments – and how the perspectives of women shaped them. In partnership with Axios Sports, we take the measure of the growth of women’s sports, where it’s headed, and how female-driven innovations could create new opportunities for the sports industry broadly. What can be learned about pro sports as women take control of their games? Speakers include: • Julie Foudy, Angel City FC co-owner, ESPN broadcaster, former U.S. women’s soccer star • Angela Ruggiero, Sports Innovation Lab CEO, Athletes Unlimited advisory board member, former U.S. women’s hockey star
