Boston Celtics star Kyrie Irving headlines a group of about two dozen professional athletes enrolled in the “Crossover into Business” program at Harvard Business School this fall.
The Crossover into Business program is designed specifically for professional athletes. Its stated goal, per Harvard’s website, is to help athletes be better prepared for business activities during and after their athletic careers. Athletes in the program sit in on one session of an MBA course titled, “Business of Entertainment, Media, and Sports.” According to Harvard’s website, that course is among the most sought-after at HBS.
