Podcasts about historical basketball league

Join us for S3:EP15 of the #SportsPhilanthropy #Podcast as Ricky Volante, the CEO of the Historical Basketball League, sits down with our host Roy Kessel

This week we are graced by the presence of Ricky Volante CEO of the new formed leagued HBL (Historical Basketball League). We take a deep altruistic dive into the leagues evolution and how its presence is needed after the recent rulings that now allow college basketball students the right to profit off their marketability and likeness. Is there an appetite for such a league and can it maintain sustainability as it takes on the status quo of the NCAA, NBA and International Leagues head on.

Episode 2 of The Guys in the Cheap Seats with Dr. Charles Campisi is a special episode. This is a recording of a presentation by the COO of the Historical Basketball League David West. West is joined briefly by HBL CEO Ricky Volante. West, a two-time NBA Champion and All Star, played 15 seasons in the NBA after being drafted by the New Orleans Hornets with the 18th pick in the first round of the 2003 NBA Draft. During his NBA career, West was selected to two All Star games and averaged 13.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game. West's collegiate career culminated with him being selected AP National Player of the Year, winning the Oscar Robertson Trophy, and being named Consensus First-Team All-American. In his new role with the HBL, West will oversee recruiting, scouting, player performance, and NBA relations. Volante is an Attorney at Buckley King and the Chief Executive Officer of the Historical Basketball League. With the HBL, Volante oversees the daily operations of the company, including structuring the corporation, hiring key personnel, recruiting universities, identifying and on-boarding investors, scouting talent and negotiating corporate agreements, while also navigating the waters of collegiate sports.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE In a report by Chris Smith (https://www.forbes.com/sites/chrissmith/2018/09/11/college-footballs-most-valuable-teams/#63d1287f6c64), Forbes lists Texas A&M University's football program as the most profitable in the 2014-2016 seasons. Its three-year average for revenue across those seasons was $148 million. Its three-year average for profit was $107 million. It was the leader of the pack, but far from alone. The 10th most profitable program (at the University of Florida) was listed at $67 million in profit. The 25th (Texas Tech's) was listed at $31 million in profit. Through broadcast licensing and other revenue streams, many NCAA programs generate immense revenue, particularly programs in the so-called Power Five conferences (the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, and SEC). Additionally, head coaches at many of these programs are highly paid, such as Alabama's Nick Saban, whose base salary for 2019 was reported to be $7.9 million (https://www.forbes.com/sites/kristidosh/2018/07/28/nick-saban-gets-another-pay-raise-from-alabama-and-the-numbers-show-he-deserves-it/#6fb35d3e5834). Given the amount of money generated in Power Five college football (and also NCAA Division I men's basketball), and the compensation afforded many coaches, some observers have called for greater financial compensation for the athletes. But others object. And these battles sometimes go to the courts, as in the recent Alston v. NCAA decision. I discuss these issues with Rick Karcher, an associate professor in the Eastern Michigan University School of Health Promotion & Human Performance.

Peter speaks with Tammi about her unique career path and then they discuss the approach of the Historical Basketball League (HBL) to healthcare of its college athletes.

The Warriors welcome back Stephen Curry (ankle) tonight against the Atlanta Hawks. Steph said his ankle is not 100%, and would not be until after June. But as he knows, it's time to lock in and make that push to the playoffs. Klay Thompson (thumb) may be returning Sunday against the Jazz, along with Draymond Green (pelvis). Kevin Durant (rib) is out for at least another week. Omri Casspi (ankle) is on the IR as well. Down the Reddit Hole, today stays focused on the Warriors subreddit. It's Quinn Cook's birthday! Steve Kerr will certainly give hime some playing time on that account, and the fact that he's been very good of late. There's a poll on r/warriors asking whether or not Cook should be added to the playoff roster, and if so, who would GSW drop? Elsewhere, Klay landed the latest cover of SLAM Magazine. and Steph is playing in low tops for the first time. The third segment is a continuation of the conversation about the Historical Basketball League and the NCAA's adherence to the amateurism model. Aliko offers his thoughts on the subject, as well as those of Andy Schwarz, the founder of the HBL, whose analysis forms the backbone of Aliko's upcoming piece on the subject at Forbes.com.

The Warriors expect Stephen Curry to return on Friday, followed by Klay Thompson on Sunday. Kevin Durant will be re-evaluated next week, while Draymond Green is day-to-day with a pelvic contusion. GSW will host the Atlanta Hawks Friday, and it doesn't get easier from there, with the Jazz continuing the Warriors homestand on Sunday. A few beatdowns of good teams would do the Dubs some good heading into the playoffs—particularly with the Rockets playing so well.The second and third segments are an interview with the CEO and CMO of the Historical Basketball League, Ricky Volante and Ralph Greene. The HBL has been founded in conjunction with historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), and expects to tip off in either 2019 or 2020. The summer league will provide players with a paycheck as well as endorsement opportunities in addition to 5-year scholarships.The wide-ranging conversation covers the falsehoods behind the amateurism model, why the HBL opted to partner with HBCUs, and just how it's all going to work. Further on, Ricky and Ralph go into detail about how it's unlikely the NCAA will be able to successfully retaliate against the HBL, and how current and former Warriors can get involved with the league as mentors and advisors.
