Preseason All-America and BIG EAST Player of the Year candidate Markus Howard was one of less than 20 NCAA Division I men's basketball players invited to participate in the NCAA Elite Student-Athlete Symposium Sept. 6-8 in Indianapolis, Ind.
This was the fourth year for the symposium, which is designed for men's basketball student-athletes who have an interest in continuing their playing careers professionally. Howard was joined at the event by Rob Judson, who serves on the men's basketball staff as special assistant to the head coach. The NCAA panel included former players Ralph Sampson and Cherokee Parks and broadcasters Greg Anthony and Clark Kellogg.
Â
A product of the NCAA Leadership Development program, the symposium is intended to educate college players on the expectations and responsibilities of being a professional athlete as well as planning post-professional career opportunities. Among the features of the forum will be a former student-athlete panel, agent and players' union discussions, engagement with professional leagues and a seminar on personal branding.
Howard, a member of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Oversight Committee, was named the BIG EAST Player of the Year in 2018-19 and is the nation's second-leading returning scorer (25.0 ppg.). He is just 30 points away from becoming the program's all-time leading scorer and has a chance to become the top scorer in league history as well.
