In this photo provided by Bailie Brown, Bailie Brown poses in the cap and gown she'll wear at graduation in Syracuse, N.Y., in this April 2021 photo. Brown doesn't consider herself a trailblazer, and yet in a way she is — and so is her school. In late May she'll become the first woman to graduate from Syracuse University's Falk College with a Bachelor of Science degree in sport analytics.
“I was just kind of searching for different opportunities and ran across this one and knew immediately it was exactly where I wanted to go. There wasn’t any question," said Brown, who was salutatorian of her high school class back home in Florence, South Carolina."I’ve always loved sports, baseball in particular, and math in high school was fun for me, for some reason, so it was kind of a no-brainer to put the two together.
“If you look at what’s going on in the sports world in general of women breaking down barriers that have been in existence for decades in terms of becoming a general manager of a major league baseball team, an official at an NFL game, women coaching men’s sports, it’s starting to open up opportunities," said Veley, adding that the school also is achieving its goal of attracting more minorities and international students."We feel that women in the analytics field can be pioneers.
That Brown isn’t an athlete didn’t faze her one bit. Her foundation was developed by going to her younger brother's Little League games and asking questions, lots of questions. “I will be more excited when there’s an equal number of women graduating from the school,” said Gelman, who was a star basketball player at Harvard."But I think it’s certainly a great first step. One of the challenges is we’ve got to create the funnel at the beginning, that pipeline.”
