The Huddle Live

The Huddle Live is a panel discussion bringing sports media and industry figures Ryan Clark, Vince Carter, and John Wall to Howard University’s Cramton Auditorium. They will be joined by two to three Howard student-athletes and coaches for a conversation about the realities of HBCU athletics from both player and coaching perspectives.

The discussion will explore how the new Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) era is changing opportunities, challenges, and decisions for student-athletes. It is also intended to introduce students to sports-related career paths beyond professional playing and provide insight into how HBCU athletes and coaches are responding to the changing athletic landscape.
