Student Comments

  • Great background story. A lot of fun to listen to and a relevant topic to today’s events of March Madness.
  • The presentation really raised some interesting and controversial ideas about college athletics and the NCAA. The speaker really gave me a lot to look at in terms of our University philosophy when it comes to sports vs. education.
  • Very interesting! I really enjoyed his presentation!
  • It gave an interesting look to a side of advertising I hadn’t given much thought to. I liked seeing the actual statistics and breakdown of information of commercials and airtime. Not many people think about sporting events being educational, and it was very interesting.
  • This presentation was enjoyable. Mark Nagel is an excellent example of working to get what you want and knowing how to get involved.
  • I found the presentation highly informative and intriguing. Dr. Nagel provided a lot of food for thought about the NCAA, something I have never thought of beyond its function as recreation and entertainment.
  • The presentation was interesting and informative. It highlighted valid points on the NCAA’s advertising tactics and the controversy surrounding them.
  • I found his presentation to be very interesting. He inspired me to go out and put myself in a position to learn about my major and network.
  • Interesting! I loved hearing about sports in college and a different point of view. The speaker was very good and captured the audience’s attention.
