What do DEI efforts look like in the sports and entertainment industry? How do mandates like the NFL’s Rooney rule impact diversity and inclusion at the highest levels of leadership? And what priorities should minorities looking to break into sports and entertainment consider?

On this episode of the DEI Podcast, we revisit a conversation with Black alumni leaders in the sports and entertainment industry from “Staying in the Game,” a sports and entertainment panel hosted by the Notre Dame Black Law Students Association, and moderated by Jackie Wilson ’07 J.D., Chief DEI Officer for the Brooklyn Nets.
