<p>bballdad - Interesting article. I doubled checked our OV agendas from last year. I’m 99.5% sure we didn’t meet with any University Presidents. 
However, in my professional capacity I’ve met with many University Presidents. Those meetings always centered around a “partnership” and how much money my company would invest/donate/grant to the school for research or other venture. We referred to those meetings as the “High Ed Handshake” and it is all about raising funds. In a similiar manner, this basketball player is going to bring some revenue in for “Big Green”. </p>
<p>I agree there are some areas of this Ivy recruiting/AI implementation that could be improved. You could say that about almost anything. IMHO, it works better than D1college recruiting as a whole. The Ivys have a pretty good system, but it is not perfect. What Jonathna Cole is proposing goes way past what is needed to improve it. Tweaks are needed not wholesale change.</p>
