The purpose of the 2024 Allen Sack National Symposium on April 18 at Howard University in Washington, DC was to address national issues having a critical impact on college athletic programs. Speakers and panelists discussed college athletes’ well-being with a focus on hazing, bullying, coach misconduct, and the little-known fact that thousands of college athletes experience food and shelter insecurity, depression, and other mental health issues. Also examined was gambling in college sports and the dangers match fixing poses to college athletes and the harm sports betting companies are causing the high-addiction-risk college student population. Last, we looked at the precarious economic future of college athletics and whether higher education will succeed in balancing equity, opportunity, compensation, and academic integrity.
