Gabelli School of Business

We are back, the Whiskey Hue, where we bring you the latest in business, tech, culture, investing, mixed with a ton of sarcasm.

This episode features a recording from a guest speaker, Rupa Unakrishnan, who spoke to my venture capital students at Gabelli School of Business recently.

In true Prof P fashion, though, I forgot to hit record at the very beginning, but I remembered eventually.

So you'll hear a somewhat awkward transition into her discussion.

So this ranking, Maria, has a lot of big climbers that are actually right at the middle of the table.

So, uh, for instance, Fordham, their Gabelli School of Business, RIT Saunders, they're each up 19 points.

Then we have Northeastern and William & Mary, which are up 14 points.

So I'm curious for an applicant who's not just aiming at the top 10 schools, can rankings like this help them find some solid mid-tier options?

I'm Mark Conrad, or Prof.

C, from Fordham University's Gabelli School of Business, where I serve as Professor of Law and Ethics and the Director of the Sports Business Initiative.

Labor-management relations have been a key part of the professional sports landscape in the United States for about half a century.

Because pro athletes are employees, they're entitled to form and join unions under federal labor laws that were enacted back in the 1930s.

And how can we apply them to the corporate world, both in and out of sports?

Unfortunately, our time is up.

And on behalf of Fordham University, the Gabelli School of Business, and the Sports Initiative, I want to thank George Atallah for taking the time and discussing the National Football League Players Association and your role in it.

I want to thank my producer, Victoria Elano, for her great work in putting together the Sports Business Podcast with Prof C.

She does the programming, event programming, among a million other things for the chapter.

And last night she put together a panel that was held at the Fordham University's Gabelli School of Business.

And she invited me to moderate the panel.

And I was honored.

So tonight we're in.

Welcome to this Fordham Gabelli School of Business.

Steve Garrow is with us tonight.

We're incredibly fortunate to have Steve Garrow with us.

So everyone's just awesome on the team.

Steve has truly sat on every side of the investment table, which makes him the perfect person for this class to learn from.

Steve, welcome to Fordham Gabelli School of Business.

Meet my Venture Capital students.
