How many former Division I athletes become a president of a Division I school?

My guest today is Steve Stoute, former Seton Hall soccer player who is now the president at Canisius University. His career path has offered him unique insights and influence at one of the pivotal moments in college athletics history. We explore the financial challenges faced by non-power conference institutions, the impact of NIL on recruitment, and the importance of supporting women's athletics.
