Indiana University Varsity Club to host Speaker Series

Indiana University has recently unveiled a unique benefit for their Varsity Club donors by hosting an event for Big Ten Conference Commissioner Jim Delany as a part of a formal Speaker Series. These unique events are open only to Varsity Club members who can purchase tickets for $15 and can bring a guest.

With conference realignment a hot-button topic, there has been a growing recognition of conference commissioners and the role they play in the industry. In fact, many commissioners are now household names, being scrolled across the bottom of ESPN on a regular basis. Jim Delany is certain to get a large crowd in Bloomington, and will help the Varsity Club provide value to their donors.

In the long run, this is just one event in a series that will help educate donors on college athletics and the surrounding issues. Having industry leaders speak to donor groups provides a unique avenue for learning more about college athletics straight from the people who are making the decisions.
