"The Bewley Twins Should Be Playing in March Madness" by Joe Moglia, Sportico

Millions of college basketball fans are once again watching this year’s March Madness tournament. It’s not only a great sporting event, but it’s a commercial bonanza, generating around a billion dollars each year for the NCAA and hundreds of millions for colleges and universities. Players are earning big now too, with top athletes raking in millions in “name image and likeness” (NIL) earnings. These numbers are only going to rise, especially now that colleges and universities are on their way to directly paying professional student athletes to compete.

Sticking his head underneath his desk for a moment, Joe Moglia popped back up holding a heavy binder.

"See this file?" he said. "I have three of these."

Thousands of versions of Moglia lie between the lines of those pages: A 19-year-old college sophomore supporting his wife and newborn daughter by driving a cab and post office truck in New York City while also working at his father's fruit store in the Bronx. The successful CEO of TD Ameritrade.

"DeepSeek Is Just The Beginning Of The AI Race" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

The emergence of Chinese AI company DeepSeek has been a wakeup call for investors and the tech industry. Legendary venture capitalist Marc Andreessen called it China’s “Sputnik moment.” While the AI race is clearly on, it’s too early to make assumptions about who will ultimately win and the ripple effects the rise of inexpensive AI may have.

"What Trump Cabinet Picks Howard Lutnick And Scott Bessent Could Mean For The Economy" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

When President-elect Donald Trump takes office this month, he’s vowed to begin making major changes—for better or worse—on day one. To lead the nation’s economy, Trump has chosen Cantor Fitzgerald Chairman and CEO Howard Lutnick as Secretary of Commerce and hedge fund manager Scott Bessent as Secretary of the Treasury.

Every month, I’ll share my unfiltered take on a pressing topic in sports, business, or leadership (and sometimes all three).

My Horry News | As fall semester ends, CCU leaders say university continues to grow

Trustees approved naming the new building the Moglia Center after Joe Moglia, a CCU benefactor, former football coach and the former chairman and CEO of TD Ameritrade, who now serves as the executive advisor to the president at CCU.

CCU board of trustees receives impressive updates on student retention and enrollment

The board recognized Joe Moglia for his service to and support of CCU and approved the naming of The Moglia Center, the University’s new home for the Conway Medical Center College of Health and Human Performance. The proposed $60 million facility is proceeding through the state approval process with an anticipated groundbreaking in late Fall 2025. Moglia, the former chairman and CEO of TD Ameritrade, serves the University as executive advisor to the president. He previously was the Chanticleers’ head football coach and chairman of athletics.

"What Trump’s Big Tariff Announcement Really Means" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

President-elect Donald Trump announced earlier in the week that he wants to impose a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada—the United States’ two biggest trade partners—and a 10% tariff on goods from China. This shouldn’t surprise anyone. He literally called himself “Tariff Man,” and it’s one of the policies that he ran on. While he’s said he wants to use tariffs as a negotiating tactic to force Canada and Mexico to do something about immigration, the economic impact could be significant in the mean time—driving up costs for consumers and potentially harming major American businesses.

"Why Not Taxing Tips Is The One Thing Donald Trump And Kamala Harris Agree On" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

There’s not a lot that Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump agree on, but doing away with taxes on tips is one thing that they’re both promoting in the run-up to the election. Of course, there’s an electoral reason for this, which is that the state of Nevada is in play, and Las Vegas has a lot of tipped workers. No one wants to come out and say, “I’m the candidate who supports taxing tips.” But, setting electoral considerations aside, it’s also a good idea on its merits.

"Could Fantasy Football Be Good For Your Team At Work?" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

One reason so many episodes of The Office revolve around Michael Scott’s team building exercises is that they’re all about developing culture. These activities can be fun or even goofy, but they’re also important. From company retreats, to softball games or holiday parties, social activities help people get to know each other better, which can lead to better morale, teamwork and productivity.

"The existential crisis of amateur college athletics" by Joe Moglia, Sports Business Journal

College sports are in crisis.

The NCAA is mired in legal troubles. Money floods into Power Four revenue sports, such as football and basketball, virtually unchecked. The playing field is increasingly tilted against small schools and non-revenue sports.

The NCAA’s Big Spending Problem

The NCAA makes some big—frankly incredible—claims about its “mission and priorities” on its website. Things like “coordinate and deliver safe, fair and inclusive competition,” “provide world-class services to student-athletes and members that leverage the NCAA’s collective scale,” “grow the college sports ecosystem,” and “deliver sustainable funding for the NCAA mission.”

"Howard Schultz Was Right: Takeaways From The Starbucks Interview" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

A CEO’s single greatest skill is communication. It is key to motivating your team, ensuring work is executive correctly, and effectively sharing information about the company with customers, shareholders, and the board. Unfortunately, Starbucks CEO Laxman Narasimhan demonstrated in a recent interview with Jim Cramer that he is sorely lacking in this department.

"The End Of Non-Competes Isn’t As Big A Deal As People Think It Is" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

When the Federal Trade Commission announced in late April that it was banning noncompetes, it was met with praise by some, who see it as shifting power to workers and improving competition, and scorn by others, who believe that it will hurt businesses and endanger innovation. Yet neither side was totally right about the impact of the ban, and the reaction was as much driven by politics as by any real-world impact on business.

CBS NCAA FB Revenue Sharing In College Athletics Is Coming Joe Moglia Thumbnail

CBS | NCAA FB: Revenue sharing in college athletics is coming, but only collective bargaining will provide a true solution

In 2011, 300 college football and basketball players from Arizona, Kentucky, Purdue and UCLA petitioned the NCAA demanding a cut of television revenue. They were told such a move is not "fiscally possible." What followed was an early effort toward cost of attendance which involved increasing scholarships by $2,000.

That all seems laughable by today's standards.

"TikTok’s Just The Beginning: We Need A New Understanding With China" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

On Wednesday, President Joe Biden signed a bill that will force either the sale or shutdown of TikTok over national security concerns. This has been a long time coming, and it’s only one small element of an overdue examination of the United States’ relationship with China.

"Dell Is Just The Latest Remote Work Battleground" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

The return to office war has entered a new phase. At first, as the effects of the pandemic waned, management tried the carrot, offering perks from parties to lunches to get workers out of the home office and back at headquarters.

Now, they’ve turned to the stick.

In recent months, layoffs have disproportionately affected remote workers as companies seek to get people to show up in person. (I’ve written before about why this is a terrible approach.) Dell—the PC and laptop giant—is putting extreme pressure on fully remote staff, putting their careers on hold by telling them they will be ineligible for promotion if they continue to work exclusively from home.

"THE TIME HAS COME FOR POWER FIVE FOOTBALL TO BREAK FROM NCAA" by Joe Moglia, Sportico

It’s the two-minute warning when it comes to the NCAA’s losing battle against pay-for-play in college football. The Power Five’s spin-off seems inevitable–it’s merely a matter of when.

And, maybe, now’s the time.

"Will Boeing’s Board Get It Right This Time?" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

It’s a bloodbath at Boeing, and a prime example of what happens when a board loses its way. On Monday, the company announced that Stan Deal, the its head of commercial planes, is stepping down immediately, and Boeing CEO David Calhoun is also expected to depart by the end of the year. Most striking, chairman Larry Kellner won’t seek reelection, a predictable result following Calhoun’s spectacular failure to turn things around.

"When Stars Struggle: What We Can Learn From Andy Reid And Travis Kelce" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

This year’s Super Bowl proved historic for a few reasons—from the attention heaped on Taylor Swift’s attendance to the unprecedented overtime finish. Yet, the enduring image and significant post-game discussion focused on Kansas City superstar Travis Kelce screaming at his head coach Andy Reid and then—apparently filled with rage over not being in the game during a key play—bumping into him.

"Why Laying Off Remote Workers Is A Bad Idea" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

Layoffs are striking workers across industries in 2024, from 1,700 at Nike, 12,000 at UPS to 20,000 at Citi. The data indicates that in many cases, fully remote employees are more likely to be cut than those who come into the office regularly. While this may seem intuitive to many managers, prioritizing in-person over remote workers is a misguided strategy that may harm companies in the long-run.

"For Investors, Boeing’s Not Flying In The Right Direction" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

Nobody wants to get on a plane they believe is unsafe. A commercial aerospace company, must have a reputation for safety and reliability. That is paramount. Yet over the last several years, Boeing, one of the world’s largest airplane manufacturers, has hit some serious turbulence. Repeated manufacturing and safety failures have damaged the confidence of airlines, shareholders, and the public.

"2024 Business Trends: Geopolitical Risk, Financial Services, And More" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

Every year brings a new set of challenges and opportunities in business. In 2024, investors should pay attention to a range of trends. Will geopolitical risk disrupt business? Will financial services lead the market? Are meme stocks back or on the backburner? And are interest rates going to fall? There’s a lot that can happen in the year to come.

NCAA's new proposal could help ensure its survival if Congress gets on board

NCAA president's proposal would significantly increase athlete compensation while potentially giving NCAA or conferences greater ability to regulate NIL environment without the threat of lawsuits.

Is College Athletics Ready to Take on Players Unions?

NCAA president Charlie Baker’s call last week to create a “subdivision” to allow schools to directly pay players using NIL deals would radically transform college sports. For one thing, it will hasten the independence of Power Five football—something I’ve argued has been inevitable for years, thanks to the flood of TV revenue—while still maintaining a role for the NCAA. He should be commended for leading on this. However, it also opens the door for yet another dynamic that athletics directors and universities are unprepared for: players unions.

"Want To Lead Better? Learn How To Trust Yourself" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

When we look at the careers of incredibly successful executives and entrepreneurs, it can be easy to interpret them as a series of carefully calculated moves, with each steppingstone leading inevitably to the next. Yet, the reality is that when you’re in it, this isn’t the case at all. The next step may not be obvious; no matter how good a planner you are, you can’t predict the future. The most successful people know they need to trust themselves.

"What Leaders Can Learn From Rite Aid’s Bankruptcy" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

Pharmacy giant Rite Aid filed for bankruptcy in mid-October. The company’s downfall is a clear lesson in what happens when corporate leaders over-leverage themselves, lose focus, stray from core competencies, and give up ground to competitors. Executives in any business can learn from the pharmacy giant’s collapse.

"The Key To Hybrid Mentorships (Hint: It’s The Same As It Always Was)" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

Three years on from the start of the COVID pandemic, hybrid work is here to stay. Companies and employees have become accustomed to working across platforms and time zones, remotely and in the office. The early struggles around video conferencing software, asynchronous work, workflows and productivity have reached an equilibrium. But there are tradeoffs. They may be more productive but collaborate less, for instance. Another key area of concern is around how young employees are mentored. Do they receive the coaching they need in a remote or hybrid environment? And what do managers and companies need to do to guarantee hybrid or remote mentorship is successful?

Fordham Renames Campus Stadium in Honor of Joe Moglia, FCRH ’71, Prep ’67

At its annual Homecoming celebration on Oct. 7, Fordham University will formally name its football and soccer stadium at the Rose Hill campus in honor of Joe Moglia, a 1967 alumnus of Fordham Prep and a member of Fordham College at Rose Hill’s Class of 1971.

Throughout his life, and throughout his football rise, Joe Moglia’s name has always been tied to Fordham.

It served as the foundation for the 1967 graduate’s 25 years of coaching — even though he didn’t play collegiate football — that included seven seasons as Coastal Carolina’s head coach and one FCS National Coach of the Year Honor.

"Southwest Airlines’ Pilots Have Had Enough. Should Shareholders Take Another Look?" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

Labor negotiations are always complicated, especially when they involve airline pilots.

Pilots keep planes in the air and passengers safe, and airlines know they must handle negotiations carefully and in good faith. Several of the largest U.S. airlines, including Delta, American Airlines, and United Airlines, have recently reached new deals with pilots. There is one glaring holdout, however: Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV), where the pilots’ union claims the company’s scheduling failures have brought it to a breaking point.

"Meme Stocks Are Back. Will Retail Investors Ever Learn The Hard Lessons?" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

"Five Leadership Lessons For When You Inherit A Team" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

"It’s Time To Strengthen The FDIC" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

When Silicon Valley Bank and First Republic Bank collapsed last month, they exposed an emerging weakness in the foundation of America’s regional banks, which are key lenders and banking service providers for many individuals and small businesses. A potent combination of new technology and rising interest rates has caused many to have second thoughts about the long-term security of these institutions. Fortunately, regional banks seem to be generally sound where proper risk management is in place, and they can be made even more secure with common sense reforms to the FDIC.

"Six Leadership Techniques To Help Teams Execute Their Game Plans, Avoid Mistakes, And Win" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

In football, as in business, success usually comes down to a matter of execution. The teams that win not only must have great game plans that they’ve practiced extensively, but they also understand that the biggest obstacle to winning is making mistakes. It sounds simple, but one of the biggest challenges for leaders in any field is building a team that avoids making mistakes. Own goals and dropped balls can be the difference between a win and a loss. However, there are specific tactics leaders can use to improve execution and behaviors they can avoid to help prevent mistakes.

"Hybrid Is Winning RTO, But Leaders Need To Do Better" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

In the endless “return to office” debate, hybrid work may be winning out. Indeed, 41% of American workers who had jobs that could be remote were working in a hybrid format in February, according to a Pew Research Center survey.

"Bank Failures Like SVB Are A Lesson In Risk Management" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

THE NCAA NEEDS THE POWER FIVE Joe Moglia Thumbnail

THE NCAA NEEDS THE POWER FIVE. DO THE POWER FIVE NEED THE NCAA?

As he takes over the NCAA presidency this week, Charlie Baker faces a critical challenge: With more money than ever coming in from TV deals, Baker’s toughest order of business will be convincing the Power Five schools that they still need the NCAA. This may be a hard sell, however, since there are ample reasons for the Power Five schools to chart their own course independent of college athletics’ governing body.

"Why Ticketmaster And Southwest Failed So Badly" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

In November of last year, the nation’s biggest ticket seller — Live Nation — had a spectacular failure when tickets for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour went on sale via its Ticketmaster service, leaving thousands of customers without tickets because of a massive technology failure caused by bot attacks. There is now a Congressional investigation into this failure.

"Fixing the College Affordability Crisis" by Joe Moglia

With President Biden’s announcement yesterday of his plan to forgive up to $20,000 in student loan debt to eligible Americans, I wanted to share my thoughts on the topic, which I’ve been thinking about for quite a while.

I’ve believed for a long time that student loan forgiveness is the right thing to do. I received student loans – my parents were immigrants, and my dad ran a produce stand. Student loans were the only way I was ever going to afford college.

One of the greatest baseball players of all time has been blocked from receiving his sport’s highest honor. And indeed, not only was sports betting illegal at the time, but betting on your own team puts the integrity of the game at serious risk.

"Calling It Quits: 4 Lessons From Joe Biden" by Joe Moglia, Forbes

Joe Biden just did one of the hardest things a leader can do—in politics, business, or sports. It doesn’t matter the arena, knowing when to call it quits is difficult. Actually doing it is even more challenging. It’s hard to walk away from power, money, fame, and prestige—especially at the level of the US presidency. It requires humbleness, self-reflection, self-sacrifice, and a clear-eyed understanding of what the costs of playing for too long really are.
