NCAA Senior Vice President for Administration and Chief Financial Officer Mario Morris joins ADU’s Tai M. Brown at the 2024 PACnet Conference to discuss impactful strategic thinking, how to align resources with strategic priorities and the metrics associated with measuring progress. Morris dives into key learnings he’s gleaned from leaders such as former Wisconsin AD Barry Alvarez (hiring and how to build a team); former Notre Dame AD Jack Swarbrick (strategic thinking and communication); and NCAA President Charlie Baker (consensus building). Morris and Brown also reflect on their time as student-athletes, including Morris’ relationship with Northern Illinois AD Sean Frazier during their time as Alabama Football student-athletes, and the importance of building a non-athletic identity.
