The NFL Partners With NYU on New Executive Program

The NFL has partnered with NYU’s Preston Robert Tisch Institute for Global Sport to create a sports executive education program for rising talent within the league. The course will aim to accelerate the development of employees while also enhancing diversity across the NFL.

“A large component of this program will be on accelerating the development of high potential employees from a variety of backgrounds at the league level, and we’re looking forward to seeing this partnership between the NFL and NYU grow,” Jonathan Beane, the NFL’s chief diversity & inclusion officer, said in a statement.

The curriculum will cover topics such as creating value as an executive for the the NFL and understanding the impact of new technologies such as 5G, AI and blockchain. The four-month program will feature lectures, networking, guest speakers and group discussions; participants will receive a certificate.
