Event Preview: Michael Levine, CAA Sports

11/8, Ives 111, 4:30PM

On Tuesday, November 8th, the ILR Sports Management Club will be meeting with Michael Levine, co-head of CAA Sports, via Skype. This event will take place from 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm in Ives 111. Michael is a Cornell alum, who is looking forward to interacting with the ILRSMC, as he did at the 2010 Ivy Sports Symposium.

Only five years old, CAA Sports has already established itself as the leading firm in talent representation, representing players, coaches, and broadcasters, among other sports personalities. Some of their top clients include LeBron James, Derek Jeter, Sidney Crosby, and Cristiano Ronaldo. CAA Sports has also worked with major corporate sponsorships and properties, such as the new Yankee Stadium and Madison Square Garden.

Levine has been recognized for his success by the Sports Business Journal, which named him one of the Top 40 Under 40 nationwide executives in 2006 and 2007 and inducted him into its Hall of Fame in 2008. Prior to working for CAA, Levine was the president of Van Wagner Sports Group, LLC and worked in various positions for the SFX Sports Group (now a subsidiary of Wasserman Media Group.)

This event is open to all who wish to attend. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Vice President of Events, Robbie Cohen (rnc48@cornell.edu).
