Parrish-Chester Publishes Study on Compensation of Collegiate Athletes

For the first time in the history of collegiate sports, college athletes can be compensated without the risk of losing their status as amateurs. New research by Turner College alum Stephanie Parrish-Chester explores the impact that Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) laws have had on the financial performance of the universities in the Southeastern Conference. The correlational study, which appears in a recent issue of the International Journal of Management and Humanities, analyzes the profitability of universities before and after passage of NIL legislation to determine if there is a correlating pattern. Parrish-Chester is currently a doctoral student at Hampton University. She has a bachelor's degree in accounting and an MBA from CSU's Turner College. During her undergraduate studies, Stephanie was a member of the CSU women's soccer team, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, NAACP, Accounting Club, Who’s Who Among College Students, and the National Society of Collegiate Scholars. As a graduate student she was inducted into Beta Gamma Sigma and was a member of the National Association of Black Accountants. Stephanie is now a certified public accountant (CPA) and project management professional (PMP) who is currently working as a consultant in the financial services industry. Her focus is on finance transformation and aiding clients as they learn to adapt to the ever-changing market and regulatory environment As a former collegiate student-athlete, Stephanies academic research is anchored in the advocacy of collegiate athletes.
