As he prepares for the next chapter of his professional journey, OD Anosike has been selected for the highly competitive Earl Edwards Inclusive Development Program, administered by the National Association of Athletic Development Directors (NAADD) in affiliation with the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). The program is nationally recognized for identifying talented and driven minority individuals and exposing them to the field of athletics development.

“I am deeply honored to be selected for the Earl Edwards Inclusive Development Program,” said Anosike. “The mission of this program aligns directly with both my professional goals and my research interests. I look forward to learning from distinguished mentors, building meaningful relationships across the industry, and contributing in ways that support the long-term health and integrity of collegiate athletics.”
Anosike’s selection reflects his emerging reputation as a scholar-practitioner operating at the intersection of higher education finance, public administration, and collegiate athletics. With more than a decade of global professional basketball experience and doctoral research focused on the stewardship of governmental funding in Division I public institutions, he brings a distinctive blend of applied leadership and academic rigor to the 2026 cohort. Participation in the Earl Edwards Inclusive Development Program will provide Anosike with advanced executive mentorship, national networking, and specialized training in fundraising strategy and institutional advancement as he prepares for leadership roles in intercollegiate athletics.
The program is set to launch later this month.
