I don't think it is bad, but don't have any idea if it is or isn't important

Definitely gonna have enough inputs to make strategic decisions for the future.

It's definitely important if you want new revenue streams and need powerful connections. Externally it's a great optic for potential new partners and internally you have powerful people, and entities to tap into as well as powerful connections.

Think of it this way, if the B1G or SEC released that list people would be in awe of it.

Of course they do. The rich never have to pay for anything. That is how they stay rich.

Big question is do they meet, personally or virtually. And discuss ideas or is it just a looks good to have thing.

These names and companies stood out to me. I really got interested for the Seminole Hard Rock inclusion. That's got UCF all over it, and no one else. Hella interesting association.
