St. John's University hosted Bill Bradley, former US Senator
from New Jersey and Knicks Basketball star at a symposium for St.
John's Sport Management students on Tuesday, November 23, 2004
Mr. Bradley's visit to the campus was made possible through the
efforts of Dr. Barnett, former National Basketball Association
(NBA) Champion and St. John's University faculty member. As a
result of the popularity of the sports industry and its influence
on American culture Dr. Barnett has focused on educating students
about the impact of sports on the media and its power to cross
social, ethnic and economic boundaries.
"Bill is not only a sports legend but a powerful intellect in
government and business," said Dr. Dick Barnett. "His
life-experience and expertise in the area of sports as business
will be of great benefit to our students."
