"Bill raises questions about Indiana University, that are not often asked. His combined experience as an academic, entrepreneur, and corporate director, provide the platform for his thoughtful inquiry and commentary. He argues that cheerleading brings no value to our IU degrees. Get and keep the goals right...then-perform, perform, perform-will bring sustained IU brand equity value. "
