Harvard's MBA/AD
Mention Harvard and most people think of geniuses, not jocks. But with 41 varsity sports, 24 junior varsity teams, and more than 1,500 intercollegiate athletes, Harvard College has the nation's largest Division 1 athletic program — and now it's under new management. HBS official Bob Scalise (MBA '89) was named Harvard's new athletic director in July, stepping down from his position as the School's associate dean for administration, senior executive officer.
An All-American lacrosse player at Brown who later coached men's lacrosse and women's soccer for the Crimson, Scalise wrote in his HBS application that some day he wanted to be the athletic director of a major sports program, according to the Boston Globe (July 17, 2001). "My dream has come true," said Scalise, who noted that Harvard's extensive program enables "a large number of people to participate and learn from their sports experiences. This is what I hope we are all about."
