Sports Law Professor Corinne Daprano: Hiring More Women Could Help NFL Solve Some of Its Problems

Accusations of domestic violence and/or sexual assaults have become a big problem for the sports industry.

This year’s NFL draft was just the latest venue. The Cincinnati Bengals selected Joe Mixon, Sooner running back, in the second round, and he comes with baggage. While in college he punched a woman in the face.

How to improve these sad circumstances?

According to Corinne Daprano, an associate professor of Sports Management at the University of Dayton, “the NFL league office can hire more women…to advise the league on its domestic violence and sexual assault policies.”

The NFL’s C-Level management is a male-dominated business. Perhaps it’s time for change.
