NBA sports agent and Syracuse University trustee David B. Falk ’72 will sign copies of his new book, “The Bald Truth: Secrets of Success from the Locker Room to the Boardroom” (Pocket, 2009), during the SU Sport Management Club’s Fourth Annual Charity Sports Auction Thursday, April 2, in the Carrier Dome.

Falk Center for Sport Management, an interdisciplinary research center that will be the focal point of the Department of Sport Management in SU’s College of Human Ecology. The center will prepare graduates to enter the sports industry and student-athletes to manage realities of professional sports through life-skills training.
In “The Bald Truth,” Falk shares captivating insider details of how he negotiated lucrative contracts, learned from his mistakes, and branded and marketed not only the greatest basketball players in history but also other elite athletes and coaches. Falk’s client list includes a generation of NBA stars such as Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing, Charles Barkley, Alonzo Mourning, Allen Iverson and John Stockton.
