A few weeks ago, I wrote a column (https://www.forbes.com/sites/karenweaver/2020/04/13/will-furloughs-and-pay-cuts-be-enough-to-save-athletics/#3fd4bceb388d) for Forbes about what lies ahead for athletics beyond the inevitable furloughs and layoffs. Today, I'll outline some of the strategies organizations should take to embrace the new normal, and not just fall victim to it.

I'm also joined by Dr. Pam Bruzina (http://nep.missouri.edu/faculty_bruzina.html) , professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia, and also their Faculty Athletics Representative to the Tigers Division I athletics program. Some of the topic areas we discussed included: How often do you interact with the President, the Athletic Department, the Faculty Senate (on issues regarding athletics) and any other campus wide committees? What kinds of conversations do you have with each area? Do you deliver presentations to the Board of Trustees? And how often do you interact with the other FARs of the SEC?
