Peter Carfagna will answer timely questions about the changing landscape of college sports and share his perspective on what could be on the horizon.

  • Should student athletes be paid to play?

  • How have NIL and the transfer portal had an impact and should there be limits?

  • Should student athletes be treated as employees and should they be able to unionize?

  • What about NIL in high school sports? What could that mean for those programs...and the student athletes?

    We look forward to you joining us. If you have questions you would like Peter to consider, you can email them in advance to loyolaclubcle@gmail.com.

Peter's broad personal and professional experiences as a leader and educator in sports management and sports law and as former owner of the Lake County Captains, give him a unique vantage point on the evolving sports world. Peter will also share how his foundation of Jesuit education at Saint Ignatius and his faith have influenced him in his work and life.
