00:00:00.533 --> 00:00:01.000
Indiana woman bringing the

00:00:01.067 --> 00:00:04.304
crowd to its feet.

00:00:04.371 --> 00:00:07.040
Welcome to this special edition

00:00:07.107 --> 00:00:07.574
of Inside Indiana Business

00:00:07.640 --> 00:00:10.477
sobering Influential Indiana

00:00:10.543 --> 00:00:11.044
Women. I Mary-Rachel Redman

00:00:11.111 --> 00:00:12.245
inside the Indiana Farmers

00:00:12.312 --> 00:00:14.447
Coliseum at the State

00:00:14.514 --> 00:00:16.049
Fairgrounds. And as you can see

00:00:16.116 --> 00:00:19.986
behind me, March Madness has

00:00:20.053 --> 00:00:20.587
officially tipped off the only

00:00:20.653 --> 00:00:25.725
kosher butcher being played in

00:00:25.792 --> 00:00:26.359
the struggle say this year, the

00:00:26.426 --> 00:00:26.926
Horizon League men and women

00:00:26.993 --> 00:00:27.494
championships and the brains

00:00:27.560 --> 00:00:30.130
behind the operation that makes

00:00:30.196 --> 00:00:32.098
it all happen, Julie Roe Lach,

00:00:32.165 --> 00:00:33.466
the Commissioner brings quite a

00:00:33.533 --> 00:00:35.468
resonate of her own to the hard

00:00:35.535 --> 00:00:40.740
work. From non-markng on the

00:00:40.807 --> 00:00:41.341
court at Milliken to becoming

00:00:41.408 --> 00:00:41.941
the first female Commissioner

00:00:42.008 --> 00:00:43.276
of the Horizon League and

00:00:43.343 --> 00:00:44.477
Whiteway one, Julie Roe Lach

00:00:44.544 --> 00:00:46.846
has made quite a splash or two

00:00:46.913 --> 00:00:49.282
short years, including a multi

00:00:49.349 --> 00:00:51.885
year video deal to extend the

00:00:51.951 --> 00:00:52.519
lease partnership with ESPN and

00:00:52.585 --> 00:00:54.254
securing Horizon League

00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:54.854
chairmanships in Indianapolis

00:00:54.921 --> 00:00:55.855
for the next four years.

00:00:55.922 --> 00:01:01.461
The work never stops.

00:01:01.528 --> 00:01:05.031
We are behind the scenes.

00:01:05.098 --> 00:01:09.469
So we have the pub team over --

00:01:09.536 --> 00:01:10.069
pep band over here, how do you

00:01:10.136 --> 00:01:10.670
manage all of this in a couple

00:01:10.737 --> 00:01:14.841
days?

00:01:14.908 --> 00:01:15.442
>> Well, definitely our team,

00:01:15.508 --> 00:01:17.444
we've got a small but mighty

00:01:17.510 --> 00:01:19.045
staff. Throughout the year we

00:01:19.112 --> 00:01:19.612
work on the logistics, where

00:01:19.679 --> 00:01:25.852
the buses go?

00:01:25.919 --> 00:01:26.352
Where do the fans enter?

00:01:26.419 --> 00:01:27.854
Making sure they all have

00:01:27.921 --> 00:01:28.421
credentials. And this is the

00:01:28.488 --> 00:01:33.693
best part, right?

00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:34.327
Because other teams bring their

00:01:34.394 --> 00:01:34.894
changes in the brain so this

00:01:34.961 --> 00:01:39.699
college experience.

00:01:39.766 --> 00:01:40.266
>> Was Indianapolis a great

00:01:40.333 --> 00:01:40.834
headquarters for the Horizon

00:01:40.900 --> 00:01:44.270
League?

00:01:44.337 --> 00:01:44.871
>> Well, it is a great place

00:01:44.938 --> 00:01:45.438
for our treatment because we

00:01:45.505 --> 00:01:46.439
said we want to be a central

00:01:46.506 --> 00:01:49.843
location and a destination city.

00:01:49.909 --> 00:01:50.477
Our headquarters have been here

00:01:50.543 --> 00:01:52.645
for now 40 years.

00:01:52.712 --> 00:01:55.648
This is the perfect I think for

00:01:55.715 --> 00:01:57.050
any sport, especially

00:01:57.116 --> 00:01:58.651
basketball. But our city has

00:01:58.718 --> 00:02:02.722
really embraced the Horizon

00:02:02.789 --> 00:02:03.256
League and helped make our

00:02:03.323 --> 00:02:04.491
chaff and not just in this

00:02:04.557 --> 00:02:07.093
championship. We host other

00:02:07.160 --> 00:02:07.694
chairmanships are to make them

00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:10.864
committee events that amplify.

00:02:10.930 --> 00:02:11.965
>> Name, image and likeness has

00:02:12.031 --> 00:02:19.472
really changed the landscape of

00:02:19.539 --> 00:02:20.039
college sports, you know, in

00:02:20.106 --> 00:02:20.607
terms of the Horizon League,

00:02:20.673 --> 00:02:21.074
and made major sports,

00:02:21.140 --> 00:02:21.674
especially for women, but have

00:02:21.741 --> 00:02:22.509
you seen?

00:02:22.575 --> 00:02:25.278
>> In the Horizon League?

00:02:25.345 --> 00:02:29.082
It has been an incredible

00:02:29.148 --> 00:02:29.716
opportunity. We said how can we

00:02:29.782 --> 00:02:30.450
bring together all 3,000 of our

00:02:30.517 --> 00:02:31.050
student athletes capitalise on

00:02:31.117 --> 00:02:32.452
that?

00:02:32.519 --> 00:02:35.088
So we struck a deal with open

00:02:35.154 --> 00:02:36.656
doors, which is a national

00:02:36.723 --> 00:02:40.260
vendor in this space, created a

00:02:40.326 --> 00:02:40.894
league wide online marketplace.

00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:41.494
It's a little bit like

00:02:41.561 --> 00:02:43.696
match.com, but very safe.

00:02:43.763 --> 00:02:46.266
Student athletes go on there.

00:02:46.332 --> 00:02:48.902
The builder online personas and

00:02:48.968 --> 00:02:49.502
then brands go on and can hire

00:02:49.569 --> 00:02:51.070
them.

00:02:51.137 --> 00:03:00.246
>> It's not just about money.

00:03:00.313 --> 00:03:00.880
>> Notes not at all, but it is

00:03:00.947 --> 00:03:03.049
there there.

00:03:03.116 --> 00:03:04.450
When we checked in with open

00:03:04.517 --> 00:03:09.489
doors and got the report, our

00:03:09.556 --> 00:03:10.056
top three earners that were

00:03:10.123 --> 00:03:10.623
student athletes were three

00:03:10.690 --> 00:03:14.594
young women's best Boston

00:03:14.661 --> 00:03:15.194
athletes from Youngstown State

00:03:15.261 --> 00:03:15.762
and they had gotten together

00:03:15.828 --> 00:03:16.396
and Frankie took the head above

00:03:16.462 --> 00:03:20.800
the brain.

00:03:20.867 --> 00:03:23.069
It is a rolling opportunity and

00:03:23.136 --> 00:03:23.603
our women are our highest

00:03:23.670 --> 00:03:26.072
Nusrit Mehtab.

00:03:26.139 --> 00:03:28.241
>> What can people expect from

00:03:28.308 --> 00:03:28.841
the Horizon League, you know,

00:03:28.908 --> 00:03:30.076
in the next couple of years?

00:03:30.143 --> 00:03:37.317
>> You're going to see

00:03:37.383 --> 00:03:37.784
incredible division of

00:03:37.850 --> 00:03:38.351
competition happening in our

00:03:38.418 --> 00:03:38.985
league and then going to see us

00:03:39.052 --> 00:03:41.821
impacting our communities, not

00:03:41.888 --> 00:03:46.559
just in Indiana, but in our

00:03:46.626 --> 00:03:47.060
state density footprint.

00:03:47.126 --> 00:03:49.862
>> IPRO Tblisi, Georgia, our

00:03:49.929 --> 00:03:51.864
student athletes are not only

00:03:51.931 --> 00:03:52.465
making it happen on the court,

00:03:52.532 --> 00:03:53.299
we have over 1,000 soon

00:03:53.366 --> 00:04:00.306
athletes that are on the

00:04:00.373 --> 00:04:00.840
horizon like academics to

00:04:00.907 --> 00:04:01.140
honour more.

00:04:01.207 --> 00:04:02.508
They are leaders in the

00:04:02.575 --> 00:04:04.978
community making written back

00:04:05.044 --> 00:04:05.612
doing behind the scenes service

00:04:05.678 --> 00:04:08.081
because I'd have another

00:04:08.147 --> 00:04:08.648
quantum room a child's face

00:04:08.715 --> 00:04:10.950
lights up.

00:04:11.017 --> 00:04:11.551
I'm proud that we are able to

00:04:11.618 --> 00:04:13.886
Robson and provide this

00:04:13.953 --> 00:04:14.187
platform. It

00:04:14.253 --> 00:04:18.157
>> In just nine seasons at the

00:04:18.224 --> 00:04:18.758
helm, Teri Moren has taken the

00:04:18.825 --> 00:04:21.961
bottom of the biopic in

00:04:22.028 --> 00:04:22.562
Bloomington to 1 of the permit

00:04:22.629 --> 00:04:25.131

made are you history Pakenham

to the rafters at assembly on

00:04:27.233 --> 00:04:28.868
senior night, the first ever

00:04:28.935 --> 00:04:32.739
seller in IU Women's Basketball

00:04:32.805 --> 00:04:33.339
history. She is traded in the

00:04:33.406 --> 00:04:39.045
gold and black recommend

00:04:39.112 --> 00:04:41.914
--

00:04:41.981 --> 00:04:45.918
for cream and crimson and it's

00:04:45.985 --> 00:04:49.922
a good luck, especially as head

00:04:49.989 --> 00:04:50.523
coach. For Hoosier's are 27-3

00:04:50.590 --> 00:04:52.859
on the season and looking at a

00:04:52.925 --> 00:04:54.193
number one seat in the end CAA

00:04:54.260 --> 00:04:55.061
tournament.

00:04:55.128 --> 00:04:57.296
>> --

00:04:57.363 --> 00:05:02.068
end CAA term.

00:05:02.135 --> 00:05:03.670
I have a great team that has

00:05:03.736 --> 00:05:08.675
worked with me and I cannot say

00:05:08.741 --> 00:05:09.275
enough how wonderful the team

00:05:09.342 --> 00:05:10.643
has been I work with each day.

00:05:10.710 --> 00:05:11.010
--

00:05:11.077 --> 00:05:14.881
NCAA Tournament.

00:05:14.947 --> 00:05:16.516
>> Either way, it is a historic

00:05:16.582 --> 00:05:17.116
season for Teri Moren and the

00:05:17.183 --> 00:05:21.954
Hughes years.

00:05:22.021 --> 00:05:22.522
I will be later on the show

00:05:22.588 --> 00:05:24.257
later was a popular Women-Owned

00:05:24.323 --> 00:05:26.059
Businesses, including a

00:05:26.125 --> 00:05:27.126
speakeasy and more around
