Image: Welch Suggs (PhD 2009) shares his extensive experience and research of intercollegiate sports with Inside Higher Ed podcast series, The Key. He notes that there are "still more question marks than periods" and reviews the many disparate forces factoring into athletic program decisions as some schools start athlete workouts while others shutter programs. Suggs acknowledges the considerable disparity in resources and prioritization of athletics during a global pandemic, societal unrest against racial injustice, and budgetary uncertainty around campuses. Suggs and podcast host, Paul Fain, explore some possible approaches for sports this fall, such as abbreviated scheduling, condensed seasons, and reduced travel. https://insidehighered.podbean.com/e/ep-10-college-athletics-and-a-weird-fall/ Type of News/Audience: Alumni Tags: alumni
