WHO: An elite panel of coaches, administrators and former student-athletes will engage in a thoughtful discussion of the challenges and opportunities facing student-athletes as they transition to life after their NCAA athletic career � with a special focus on topics of interest for female student-athletes. ESPN Basketball Analyst Nancy Lieberman will moderate the panel, which is scheduled to include:
