ABA Banking Journal Podcast · Banking the brave new world of college athletics · 4 Aug 2026 podcast

What are some of the biggest surprises that you may have or some of the biggest questions that you may have to answer to help them set them on a healthy path for themselves, for their futures?

I want to come back to something you mentioned earlier, and that's about the talent that you bring in to your organization, the subject matter experts in sports, entertainment, all the different sub-specialties that you have.

Do you bring in non-bankers who have expertise as practitioners in these areas, or how do you find the right talent to staff your sports and entertainment banking unit?

Great.

Charles, thank you so much for being on the show today.

This was a fantastic window into a unique part of our banking ecosystem.

And what I can only imagine is going to be a growing part of our banking ecosystem in the years to come as the disruption and churn continues in these industries.

Thank you, Evan.
