Former Northwestern University softball player Ndidi Opia Massay is the perfect utility player. Since taking her final at-bat for the Wildcats in 1989, she earned her degree from the prestigious Medill School of Journalism and graduated from law school at Notre Dame where she also served as a volunteer softball coach. She went on to work as an intern with the NCAA, served as director of game operations and legal counsel at the University of San Francisco and owned her own business negotiating contracts for people in sports and entertainment. She currently works as the director of business operations and development for ESPN RISE, a branch of ESPN.com devoted to high school sports.
