Episode description

During this episode, Dr. Fry talks to us about the relationship between sport geography and conference relignment.

Dr. Fry has traveled to more than 200+ colleges and universities speaking to students, faculty, and staff about conflict. She is also the founder of two tech companies: Coordle and Hyreable.

She earned her PhD from Michigan State and dedicated her dissertation as a love story to Black women volleyball athletes who competed in non-U.S. professional leagues. Her academic research, coaching experience, and commitment to disruption informs our conversation about conference realignment across the NCAA ecosystem.

  • How will conference realignment affect enrollment at Division I mid-majors, and Division II and III institutions?
  • How are athletic departments taking care of their staff who will also be affected by increased travel?
  • What additional mental health resources will be dedicated to college athlete well-being?

These are just some of the questions we dive into on this episode!

Unfiltered and very timely! Let's walk!
