A CTE teacher's blog about teaching, sports & entertainment marketing, life, and other assorted topics. A long, circuitous career path has now found me teaching Sports & Entertainment Marketing in North Carolina. I was in the Marines and the TV business prior to teaching--told ya it was circuitous! And yes, I do ramble!

Know When to Hold 'em
Teaching Sports Marketing puts a lot of athletes in your class, football players in particular. Many of them believe they're going to the NFL, of course.
Before the NFL comes college football, though. The question for my kids: how to get from high school to college. Getting into college requires decent grades, and if you don't have decent grades, you have to go to a prep school, such as Fork Union or Hargrave.
ESPN's Outside the Lines show found one of these prep schools right down the road in Charlotte. After teaching ethics in sports marketing last week, this is a perfect video to show.
