F. King Alexander - President, Oregon State University

F. King Alexander, President of Oregon State University and former President at Louisiana State University joins Sports Business Radio for an insightful look at the current state of college athletics from the President’s seat. How are athletic departments funded and what is the breakdown of the economics of a typical athletic department budget? What is the relationship between the NCAA and its member universities, specifically the Power 5 conference universities? Will the role of the NCAA change in the future with no funding from the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament in 2020? Will college athletic departments need to take out loans in order to survive if there is no college football this Fall? Will there be a “reset” with the economics of college athletics, including the high salaries of coaches? What are the main considerations that university Presidents are looking at as they contemplate the postponement or cancellation of Fall sports? President Alexander shares a unique perspective in this insightful conversation on Sports Business Radio.
