Forty Acres Insider: Oct. 1

Greetings Longhorn Nation,

Had a great time joining a thought provoking discussion on the 'State of College Sports' with Ross Bjork (Texas A&M athletics director), Renu Khator (University of Houston president/UH System chancellor) and John Steinmetz (Texas Tech University System regent) last week at the Texas Tribune Festival. What a brilliant group of colleagues they are, and I took full advantage of the opportunity to pick their brains. College athletics is ever-changing, every day, and it's really important that we continue to engage in open and honest dialogue on the many challenges we all face. The University of Texas will always need to be in the forefront of these discussions and an industry leader so I certainly appreciated the invite and enjoyed participating.
