The document discusses the issue of college sports sponsorships with online sports gambling companies. It notes that while such deals provide revenue for athletic departments, they present moral dilemmas around exploiting and harming students. Some universities have modified or ended sponsorship deals after public backlash over targeting students with promotional codes and access to personal information. Politicians have also expressed concerns that colleges are not adequately supporting students who may develop gambling addictions. The gaming industry argues alumni sponsorships are acceptable but their self-imposed code of conduct on college partnerships is not enforceable.

The new California law requiring schools in the state to allow their athletes to earn endorsement money isn’t scheduled to take effect until 2023. But already, it is clear that one state’s decision to give college athletes the ability to profit from their name, image or likeness will have far-reaching effects on the economics of college sports.
The impact will extend from campuses to other U.S. statehouses. And it could alter both the flow of talent into top athletics programs and the stream of marketing revenue into college sports.
Here are some immediate questions that will ultimately determine the impact of the law, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday.
1. Will other states follow?
Elected officials in several other states are already trying. A New York state senator has proposed legislation that goes even further, requiring colleges to pay athletes directly. A pair of Colorado state senators are planning to introduce a similar bill there. A proposed South Carolina bill—set to be filed in January—is similar to California’s.
There has been talk of such measures at the state level before, but backers are hoping the California law will help them gain more support. “This will be a building block that we can use in the state of South Carolina to make our case,” said South Carolina state senator Marlon Kimpson.
Kimpson, a Democrat, filed a bill in 2014 requiring Clemson and the University of South Carolina to pay its football and basketball players. The legislation effectively died without getting to a vote. If the California law proves to put South Carolina schools at a competitive disadvantage, Kimpson said he is hopeful that would spur more openness to a similar measure.
2. How will the NCAA respond?
The NCAA’s board of governors, in a letter to Newsom before he signed the bill, threatened to ban California athletes from its competitions if the law went into effect. The group cited the “unfair recruiting advantage” it would create.
“I think that would be enough of a disadvantage to wipe out any advantage that we might take,” said Pepperdine athletic director Steve Potts. “I just don’t want to put our student athletes in a position where they’re not allowed to compete at the highest level.” But doing so would remove some of the most prominent NCAA member institutions from its championships, among them UCLA, USC, Cal and Stanford. And such a stance could prove difficult to uphold if enough other states were to enact similar legislation.
An NCAA ban for California schools could trigger an antitrust lawsuit. Likewise, the NCAA—which called the bill “unconstitutional” in its letter to Newsom—could attempt through legal action to overturn or at least delay ...

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

• Revenue-hungry athletic
departments found a Sugar
Daddy in online sports gambling
companies all too willing to pony
up for signage and sponsorship
agreements.
4. College Sports & Gambling
• For companies such as
DraftKings Sportsbook, collegiate
sports represented an
opportunity to acquire
customers in a key demographic:
college students.
5. College Sports & Gambling
• That presents a moral dilemma
that is only now reaching the
level of public debate on
whether the rise of sportsbook
sponsorships is harmful to
students and student-athletes.
6. College Sports & Gambling
• University of Colorado athletics
modified its $30 million
sponsorship deal with PointsBet
after a public outcry about using
promotional codes to target
students with deals in 2023.
7. College Sports & Gambling
• In Maryland, meanwhile, a
similar deal with PointsBet ran
into stout opposition in the state
legislature.
• A bill under review would
bar in-state colleges and
universities from with
sportsbooks that offer
promotional sign-up deals.

• Maryland legislator Jheanelle
Wilkins said in a published
report “that our Maryland
institutions of higher education
are not profiting from the sports
betting activities of our students.
We don't want our students to
be exploited or be harmed or get
addicted.”
9. College Sports & Gambling
• In Michigan, faculty at Michigan
State University petitioned the
university to end its sponsorship
with Caesars Sportsbook.
• The deal included exclusive
sports betting advertising rights
at MSU games and access to the
student body’s email database.
• About 300 faculty signed the
document.
10. College Sports & Gambling
• “Taking a page from the
stereotypical image of a drug
pusher, Caesars and the other
large online gambling companies
lure customers with free bets
worth hundreds of dollars.
Young men tend to be eager
recruits; being knowledgeable
about sports leads many of them
to assume they will be successful
gamblers,” the petition reads.

• U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal
from Connecticut sent letters to
66 institutions demanding
information on their sportsbook
sponsorships earlier in March
2023.
12. College Sports & Gambling
• “Universities with these
partnerships have done little to
set up the necessary support for
students who develop a
gambling addiction,” wrote
Blumenthal.
• The senator added that “certain
factors” make college students
vulnerable to gambling
addiction.
13. College Sports & Gambling
• The gaming industry has
countered via its trade
organization the American
Gaming Association (AGA).
• It updated its sports wagering
code in late March to ban
“college partnerships that
promote, market, or advertise
sports wagering activity” outside
of sponsorships that focus on
alumni networks.
14. College Sports & Gambling
• The AGA’s code, however, is not
enforceable as sportsbooks are
not bound to the code by any
legal or other mechanism.
