It’s June, which means if you’re in school right now you are probably counting down the days until summer. But if you’re Channing Tatum, LL Cool J, or the NBA’s Pau Gasol and Chris Paul…school has just begun
This unexpected foursome have signed up for class at Harvard University, where they’re enrolled in Executive Education Business of Education, Media, and Sports program taught by Professor Anita Elberse.
Ew.com tells us that Tatum actually helped lead a workshop about how dance movies impact Hollywood. What a stretch!
Harvard’s Facebook page posted a picture and said participants helped share ideas for how to innovate in the film industry.
I wonder what Chris Paul and Pau Gasol are hoping to get out of that discussion Are their post-basketball careers going to be in film
Also what does this mean for LL Cool J Is he learning how to blandly host more live events

It really makes you wonder what exactly this course offers The Harvard website features a video of Miami Heat guard Dwayne Wade, an alumni bragging about the course, saying that it’s ultimately about online content and marketing.
Here’s a description:
“This program is appropriate for mid- and senior-level executives who work or aspire to work for studios, networks, publishers, music companies, performing arts companies, sports leagues and teams, and other creative enterprises. The program also is appropriate for agents, managers, and other individuals who represent talent, as well as for brand managers, promoters, consultants, investors, and others who are active in the entertainment industry more generally.
So, based on this we can predict Tatum going viral online, LL Cool J dropping a surprise album 10 years too late, a future GM Chris Paul, and agent to the stars Pau Gasol. Got it.
