Summer Blog Updates

As fall classes begin across the Cornell campus, we hope our readers had a great summer.  While the blog certainly slowed down over break, we still would still like to update you on some of the things we've been working on.

First off we are pleased to announce that Stephen Rosen will be taking over as the new Editor-in-Chief of the blog. He's been a dedicated contributor, and he's even served as Assistant Editor this past year, so the site will be good hands. You can read all of Stephen's previous work here. If you are interested in writing for the blog, send Stephen an email at sfr53@cornell.edu.

Additionally there will be lot's of great content this semester, with series showcasing both club members' experiences and women in sports, in addition to past features such as Event Recaps and Blogger Roundtables.  Check out our staff of bloggers on our Contributor's page.

You may have noticed a new page on the blog as well. Incoming Assistant Editor and VP of Radio Matt Hakimian has assembled our new Events page. The page houses our past events with alumni and other sports industry leaders, conferences, charity events, and more!

Some of our contributors also did a little writing this summer.  Hannah Sawyer provided a first-hand report on the dismal state of Dominican Soccer.  And before LeBron made his latest "Decision", Josh Martin looked at whether NBA teams could win it all with a "Max Contract" player on the roster.

Incoming freshman and Chinese sports journalism legend Magic Peng wrote two awesome articles on international soccer. First, he explored the situation regarding broadcasting revenues in the English Premier League. Then in the latest edition of the "Magic Touch", Mr. Peng examined the curious case of a Chinese soccer club going public.

So while we weren't publishing a whole lot of content, we have been busy getting ready for the upcoming semester. We hope you will continue to visit the ILR Sports Business Society Blog, and for anyone on campus, please check out the club in person. Thank you for your support!
