"The SBJ IAF is the center of the university for the issues and hot topics facing collegiate athletics. A “must-attend” event for those involved in collegiate athletics who wish to continue to learn and network, and continue to grow personally and professionally."

Bruce Siegal, Attorney, Greenspoon Marder LLP

"The Intercollegiate Athletics Form was amazing. SBJ’s ability to convene so many key movers, shakers and decision-makers is unequaled. And at a time of extraordinary transition for college sports, being able to listen to—and network with—so many of those key players was incredibly valuable. SBJ gets five stars, and the attendees should each get three units of credit in the business of college sports." Lindsay Conner, Partner, O’Melveny & Myers

“Wow, what a wonderful 1st visit to the SBJ IAF; I certainly hope it is not the last! Thank you for putting together an amazing agenda of current and “hot” topics and speakers at a world class venue. It seemed like I was a on the forefront of “breaking news”, particularly with regard to Charlie Baker of the NCAA. Perhaps most importantly, however, was the ability to meet with many new peers and colleagues serving the NIL space, which I truly enjoy and where our team at PowerNIL hopes to make a positive impact.”

Ken Feinberg, President, PowerNIL

"I always enjoy and benefit from attending SBJ event programming. Immediately after beginning my tenure with the Fiesta Bowl Organization in December 2022, I attended the 2022 SBJ IAF event and could not have planned a better way to begin to immerse myself in intercollegiate athletics. Attending the 2023 IAF provided great discussions of timely issues in our industry and the unique opportunity to connect with so many key stakeholders, partners and peers in the same place. I look forward to participating in the event every year." Erik Moses, Executive Director/CEO, Fiesta Bowl
