Seton Hall University reported on Mar. 13 that its faculty experts were featured in several major national, regional, and broadcast outlets during February. The university said its professors provided analysis on topics ranging from regional elections and sports law to Supreme Court rulings and the Winter Olympics.
The university highlighted the Seton Hall Sports Poll, led by Dan Ladik, as a key contributor to sports business coverage. The poll’s findings on Super Bowl LXI fan preferences appeared in ESPN and other outlets, while data about American interest in the 2026 Winter Olympics was cited by ArchyNewsy. These appearances positioned Seton Hall as a source for industry insights used by global media.
Sports law professor Robert Boland offered commentary on collegiate eligibility litigation for Front Office Sports and discussed MSG Sports’ potential restructuring of the Knicks and Rangers with Newsweek. In personal finance, Stillman School of Business faculty members Xiaoqing Eleanor Xu, Elvin Riley, and Benjamin Lowe contributed advice to WalletHub on credit cards and budgeting.
Seton Hall Law professor Lori Nessel spoke with NJ.com about immigration cases and court orders. Political science professor Matt Hale analyzed New Jersey’s special election results for Fox 5 New York and discussed regional political influence with The Hill. Danielle Zanzalari, associate professor of economics, commented on a U.S. Supreme Court ruling regarding federal tariff programs: “The Supreme Court’s decision reinforces that trade policy ultimately rests with Congress,” Zanzalari told ROI-NJ. “The tariffs did more harm than good in the short run, since input costs rose for manufacturers and many other firms.”
Chief Information Officer Paul Fisher was profiled by Ellucian for his work in digital transformation at Seton Hall. “We don’t innovate for innovation’s sake,” Fisher told the outlet. “We pilot, experiment, and scale what works — across disciplines, across departments. Everything comes back to the mission of teaching and learning.”
By sharing expertise with major media outlets throughout February, Seton Hall faculty continued to demonstrate their impact across various fields.
