commemorating the change is being held Tuesday (Aug. 25) at MTSU\u2019s Bragg Media and Entertainment Building on the Murfreesboro, Tennessee, campus. Borchetta; his wife, Sandi; executives from Big Machine Label Group and the Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix; members of the Nashville music community; and MTSU students and faculty are expected to be in attendance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cI am humbled and profoundly grateful to have MTSU\u2019s College of Media and Entertainment bear my name,\u201d Borchetta told <em>Billboard.<\/em> \u201cThe opportunity that this school affords to its students didn\u2019t exist for me through college education in the 1980s, so it is an honor to now be part of building those bridges for young minds. My goal is to inspire others and give back, betting on the creativity of students who dedicate themselves to the entertainment field. The Scott Borchetta College of Media and Entertainment represents the next generation of innovators and creators, whose bold ideas will transform the media landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tBorchetta\u2019s ongoing support of the College of Media and Entertainment over the years has helped fund technological upgrades as well as student experiences, including trips to the Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cAs one of Music City\u2019s leading entrepreneurs and visionaries, Scott Borchetta has earned the reputation as one of the entertainment industry\u2019s most innovative and forward-thinking leaders,\u201d MTSU president <strong>Sidney A. McPhee<\/strong> said in a statement, adding, \u201cWe are here to publicly recognize what happens when one\u2019s vision and passion combine with dedication and hard work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tMedia and Entertainment Dean <strong>Beverly Keel<\/strong> called Borchetta the school\u2019s \u201csecret weapon,\u201d thanks to his support. \u201cI can\u2019t overestimate how important this is to the life and history of the college,\u201d Keel said. \u201cThis propels us to international acclaim because Scott\u2019s name is recognized and respected around the world. By partnering with Scott, we are exposing our students to cutting-edge ideas and perspectives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIn addition to the broad support Borchetta has provided, Keel cited very specific additions and improvements his backing has funded, including hiring a strategic communications specialist and sponsoring the Southern Oasis Film Festival.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe renaming has been several years in the making, with initial conversations between Keel and Borchetta first taking place in late 2020. The pandemic put everything on hold, and the decision was made to hold the announcement to time it with Big Machine\u2019s 20th anniversary this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tBorchetta and his wife have a long history of philanthropy, including partnering with Vanderbilt\u2019s Monroe Carell Jr. Children\u2019s Hospital to launch a neonatal intensive care unit wing, The Big Machine Neighborhood, as well as the Music Has Value fund that supports music in schools and music therapy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe College of Media and Entertainment has been a perennial entry on <em>Billboard<\/em>\u2019s annual list of top music business schools. Artist alumni include Chris Young, HARDY, Lady A\u2019s Hillary Scott, Mitchell Tenpenny, Evanescence\u2019s Amy Lee and Daisha McBride, while music executives who attended include Kane Brown\u2019s manager Martha Earls and publishing head Kent Earls, Big Machine Publishing\u2019s Mike Molinar, Jason Aldean\u2019s manager Chris Parr and Riley Green\u2019s manager Daniel Miller.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/pro\/mtsu-renames-media-college-big-machine-ceo-scott-borchetta\/\">Aller \u00e0 la source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Middle Tennessee State University has renamed its College of Media and Entertainment the Scott Borchetta College of Media and Entertainment, in honor of the founder\/chairman\/CEO of Big Machine Label Group.
