• "As anyone in a position of AD at a major university knows, running a comprehensive athletic program is a multi-faceted complex enterprise. The make up of the agenda and faculty at the Intercollegiate Athletics Forum reflect that complexity which is why is it is such a worthwhile meeting for executives at every level of collegiate athletics."

  Joe Castiglione
  Athletic Director
  University of Oklahoma

• "With the pace of change in collegiate athletics being what it is today, having an opportunity to meet with the best in the field to learn about and discuss the issues of the day is invaluable. This year’s IAF touched on all of the areas that I deal with every day and provided useful insight into the direction of collegiate sports in the coming years."

  Vince Sweeney
  Senior Associate Athletic Director
  University of Wisconsin-Madison

• "The Intercollegiate Athletics Forum is an important annual event for our industry. The narrow focus on intercollegiate athletics, the topical nature of the Forum’s agenda, and the quality of the speakers and attendees combine to make the Forum a uniquely valuable annual gathering."

  Jack Swarbrick
  Athletic Director
  University of Notre Dame

• "As someone involved in one of the most diverse and vibrant athletic programs in the collegiate ranks, the IAF gives me the opportunity to hear from and meet the “best” in every facet of collegiate athletics. It’s an invaluable learning and networking opportunity."

  Ross Bjork
  Senior Associate Athletic Director, External Relations
  UCLA

• "The Intercollegiate Athletics Forum is time well-spent. The tremendous slate of industry leaders from the entire spectrum of the athletics arena was the best I have experienced and covered the most relevant issues we are all dealing with today. I regret not including my senior staff in this event this year."

  Randy Spetman
  Athletic Director
  Florida State University

• "The agenda at this year’s Intercollegiate Athletics Forum could not have been more relevant from discussions of Division 1 football playoffs, to the impact of the economy on collegiate sports programs to broadcast rights issues, the program addresses all of the most pressing issues for collegiate athletic directors across the country."

  Drew Marrochello
  Deputy Athletic Director
  Boston University

• "The Intercollegiate Athletics Forum is annually the premier event of its kind in the U.S. It consistently offers a compelling program of timely, comprehensive and very relevant topics, with the most experienced and knowledgeable speakers from the field."

  Debbie Yow
  Athletic Director
