Should College Athletes Be Allowed To Use Their School Brand For Paid Endorsements

John Holden, Oklahoma State University Just days after the NCAA changed it rules in June 2021 to let college athletes seek endorsement deals, a college quarterback in the South announced a sponsorship deal with a beverage company. About the same time, another college football player, a wide receiver in the South, signed an endorsement deal with a national retailer. In both cases, the players wore clothes without university logos in the photographs they posted on their social media as they promoted the companies. Not so with another football player – a quarterback in the Southwest – who got use of a new car from a dealership for standing next to one of the dealership’s cars in a photograph on his social media page. Instead of plain clothes, he wore a polo shirt with his university logo ...

Investors Are Feeling Wealthier — Stock Indexes Are Crossing Milestones

Stock indexes are breaking records and crossing milestones – making many investors feel wealthier. The S&P 500 stock index topped 5,000 for the first time on Feb. 9, 2024, exciting some investors and garnering a flurry of media coverage. The Conversation asked Alexander Kurov, a financial markets scholar, to explain what stock indexes are and to say whether this kind of milestone is a big deal or not. What are stock indexes? Stock indexes measure the performance of a group of stocks. When prices rise or fall overall for the shares of those companies, so do stock indexes. The number of stocks in those baskets varies, as does the system for how this mix of shares gets updated. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, also known as the Dow, includes shares in the 30 U.S. companies with...

When Chasing Meaningful Work — What People Get Wrong

Looking for your ‘calling’? What people get wrong when chasing meaningful work. As a professor, I’m fortunate to teach a course called World Religions for Healthcare Professionals that prepares students for the spiritual and ethical issues they may encounter in their careers. But the class often boils down to life’s big questions: What makes life worth living, and how should we live? How do you find your “calling”? In particular, one thought-provoking paradox captures students’ attention. They live in a society where the idea of a professional “calling” is frequently talked about as a quest for personal fulfillment and achievement or satisfaction with one’s work. The problem is that the more you aim for success, “the more you are going to miss it,” as psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor V...

Women Bosses – Powerful, Successful, Ambitious Women

For more than 30 years I've coached and mentored women who are top-caliber Fortune 500 executives and high-level entrepreneurs. Meanwhile during that whole time I was either a Fortune 100 senior executive or the founding CEO of my own successful consulting firm. Many things have changed for women in the workplace over the years, but as the saying goes "the more things change, the more they stay the same." What I'm referring to here is the sad fact that, even in this advanced era of the 21st century, negative stereotypes about women in executive positions stubbornly persist. The one that most often comes to mind is that if you are a woman and you are powerful within the business community then it must mean that you are also self-centered and egocentric. So let me set the record straight. ...

Cheap Family Dinner And Movie Night

Cheap Family Dinner and Movie Night - 3 Steps to Creating a Fun and Low-Cost Family Activity. Taking your family out for dinner and a movie is getting more and more expensive. Even with some theatres extending matinee prices and restaurants offering a vast array of "2-for-1" or "kids eat free" deals, a family dinner and movie night for four can quickly run over $100. You can dramatically cut the costs by focusing on three steps to creating a fun and low-cost home version of this popular family activity. The Movie Video Store - Renting a few new releases isn't exactly cheap, but getting two or three movies to watch for $16 versus seeing one movie at the theatre for about $40 is a pretty good deal. Mom, dad, and the kids get to put their two-cents in on which movie to get and soon you ...

Selling Art Online Is All About ‘Findability’

Web-based artist networks, art marketplaces, and online art galleries are helping artists who are selling art online, a more and more common practice as time goes by. More often than not, selling your art online on your own can be an experience that disenchants many artists with the prospect of selling art online using any tool; even a personal website can be difficult to manage in comparison to an online gallery account. The online art market is growing considerably, and with online art sales on the rise, it is proving to be an increasingly fruitful avenue for artists, even compared to traditional methods for selling art as an artist. Previously established networks like those used by online art marketplaces and gallery settings have many things going for them that personal websites do n...

Political Crowdfunding Does More Than Raise Money – It Can Also Rile Up Opponents

The success of politicians in the U.S. largely depends on the amount of funding they receive from various sources. Although political action committees contribute considerably to elections, a recent survey showed that grassroots contributions – gifts under US$200 – are equally crucial and contribute a sizable amount. Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign raised 69% of its funding from small donors. Traditionally, volunteers went door to door to solicit donations from individuals. Today, politicians use social media to encourage their supporters to donate and eventually vote for them. Many politicians such as senators Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz have turned to this sort of political crowdfunding. The primary objective of political crowdfunding is to assist politicians in raising funds...

Shedding Light On Crowdfunding For Charity – 4 New Findings

Raising money online from a group of donors, known as crowdfunding, is relatively new. The term was coined in 2006 by entrepreneur Michael Sullivan. But having lots of people chip in to support a cause or help out their friends and loved ones is a long-established practice. The pooling of contributions has occurred throughout human history. It’s hard to know exactly how much money changes hands today through GoFundMe, Indiegogo, Kickstarter and the thousands of other crowdfunding platforms out there. Without any U.S. oversight or coordination, gathering accurate and complete data is next to impossible. But there’s no doubt that crowdfunding is on the rise. Still, estimates exist. Online crowdfunding campaigns are raising more than US$34 billion a year around the world, according to one,...
