With the NCAA Tournament about to begin, the NBA world will be watching several of the top prospects.

In what's considered a deep draft by experts, several college players can improve their NBA standing with a strong March Madness showing.

Unfortunately, much like last year, the top consensus pick, Markelle Fultz, will not be in the tournament. But several other point guards and versatile forwards will highlight the games, with NBA teams eyeing who they'd like to take with their draft picks.

To get feel of the top prospects heading into the draft, we collected the consensus picks from six experts, then used average draft position to rank them.

Our experts: ESPN's Chad Ford, DraftExpress' Jonathan Givony, CBS's Gary Parrish, SI's Andrew Sharp, Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman, and NBADraft.net.

Check out the top prospects below:

1. Markelle Fultz (PG, Washington)

Average rank: 1

Top 30s*: 6

Highest rank: 1

One thing to know: Despite missing the NCAA Tournament and missing games with a knee injury, Fultz has declared he'll enter the NBA Draft and still is considered the top prospect for his well-rounded game.

* Experts with this player in the first round. 

2. Lonzo Ball (PG, UCLA)

Average rank: 2.5

Top 30s: 6

Highest rank: 2

One thing to know: Ball has perhaps the best court vision and deep accuracy in college basketball, but there is some concern over his funky shooting motion, which he says works for him.

3. Josh Jackson (G, Kansas)

Average rank: 2.8

Top 30s: 6

Highest rank: 2

One thing to know: Jackson is expected to play in the NCAA Tournament after serving a suspension for several off-court incidents, including allegedly kicking a woman's car and causing damage and fleeing the scene after hitting a parked car while driving.

With more A-list stars, directors, and producers creating television than ever before, many are calling this the next golden age of TV. But regardless of who's involved, there are bound to be some shows that don't shine quite as brightly.

More outlets are creating TV content, from streaming companies like Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu to cable networks increasingly getting into the scripted-show game, like Bravo, E!, and Spike.

But what's worth your time and what isn't? In times like these, you should let the experts watch so you don't have to.

Metacritic keeps track of a curated group of critics, assigns each review a number according to how positive or negative it was, and then creates a weighted average score for each show.

CBS, NBC, and Fox tied with four shows each among the shows least liked by critics. But some of the newer companies also produced stinkers. Netflix, for example, netted itself a zero instead of a superhero. Which other networks had the misfortune of landing shows on the list?

Here are the 18 worst-reviewed TV shows of 2017 so far, using Metacritic scores:

18. "Time After Time" (ABC)

Metacritic score: 59

A remake of the 1979 movie of the same name, "Time After Time" mirrors the film's centuries-spanning chase of the charismatic Dr. John Stevenson, aka Jack the Ripper (Josh Bowman), by a dashing H.G. Wells (Freddie Stroma), the author of "The Time Machine" and "The War of the Worlds," among many other notable novels. The famous 19th-century serial killer has stolen the author's time machine and escaped to modern-day New York City. Wells ventures after him to bring him back to the past.

17. "Doubt" (CBS)

Metacritic score: 58

"Doubt,"which has already been canceled, follows Katherine Heigl's character, defense attorney Sadie Ellis, and her colleagues at a boutique law firm.

16. "Chicago Justice" (NBC)

Metacritic score: 57

The latest in NBC's "Chicago" franchise, "Chicago Justice" follows the members of the state attorney's team of prosecutors and investigators who must balance the public opinion and city politics with their execution of the law.

Parents want their children to live in a better world than the one they grew up in.

But today's slow-growing global economy has people across the world less certain that tomorrow's economy will provide a solid foundation for the next generation.

Brunswick, the international advisory firm, has just released their global survey of over 40,000 people from 26 countries. 

The survey spans generations, geographies and measures global sentiment on an array of topics such as globalization and automation.

In order to gauge a country's optimism about the future they asked survey respondents the following question:

When today's children in your country are your age how will they be doing financially compared to where you are right now? Would you say better, worse, or about the same?

The study found that emerging markets (40% net optimism about their children’s future) were far more optimistic than developed countries (9% net pessimism about their children’s future). Here are the 14 countries from the survey that were net optimistic about the future.

14. South Africa - 1%

13. USA - 6%

12. Mexico - 9%

Paying for college tuition in the US is an expensive endeavor and one that has saddled millennials (and soon centennials) with student-loan debt. The official CollegeBoard tuition calculator estimates the costs of attending a four-year in-state public university to be $21,447.

Many people fall into an income gap, where they make too much money to qualify for financial aid, but not quite enough to feel comfortable covering the full costs of going to college out of state — or even in-state in some cases.

Students in this case — or even those with financial-aid options — often take out student loans, and may end up graduating with debt. As of the end of 2016, student-loan debt topped $1.3 trillion, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The Institute for College Access and Success (TICAS) found 68% of graduating seniors had debts the year before.

An alternative: go abroad. Here's a snapshot of college tuition costs in Canada and England.

All fees are for the 2016-2017 school year. Exchange rates featured in this slideshow are as of March 14th, 2017.

Canada: British Columbia: $20,506 USD

At this reporter's undergraduate alma-mater, the University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada, these were the costs for a starting freshman in 2016:

One year at the University of Victoria:

Tuition: $16,693

Student Union Payment: $798

International Program Fee: $800

Books and Materials: $1000

Double room dorm and meal plan(cheaper options available): $8,354

If you happen to be a dual US/Canadian citizen, you're in luck. Your tuition will be $5,250 CAD, with your total costs estimated at $7,048 CAD (not including housing), or $5,227 USD per year .

Canada, Quebec: $21,221 USD

Tuition in Canada varies from province to province, so if you're looking for a school with cheaper tuition, give Quebec a try. Quebec has the second-cheapest tuition costs in Canada by province, as well as excellent universities to choose from.

International students at McGill University in Quebec, a top-ranked school, should expect to pay $15,942.90 CAD tuition, and $18,603.46 CAD total fees (not including housing) and materials, or $13,801.30 in US dollars.

Housing at McGill can range from $10,000 CAD ($ 7,420 USD) to $18,000 CAD ($13,347 USD) per year, including meals.

Accounting for the cheapest housing options, an international student could attend McGill University for $21,221.30 USD per year.

Los Angeles, California (undergraduate): $34,191

So how does this stack up against public, in-state universities? At the University of California, Los Angeles tuition for California residents break down to:

One year at UCLA:

Tuition: $13,254 USD

Room and board (dorms): $15,441

Books and supplies: $1,173

Transportation: $420

Personal: $1,431

Health Insurance (Canada has free health care): $2,472

Total: $34,191 USD

For out of state students, your total costs will be $62,205 per year.

It's no secret that hedge funds have not been doing well.

2016 was an especially rough year for the once mighty kings of Wall Street.

High fees and lackluster returns have forced many investors to pull their money out of hedge funds. The $3 trillion industry shrunk by about $70 billion last year, the biggest drop since 2009, according to data tracker HFR.

But that doesn't mean that hedge fund managers, long known to be some of the wealthiest people on Wall Street, are on their way to the poor house.

Forbes has just released its list of the highest-earning hedge fund managers and traders of 2016. And it shows that top hedge funders are doing just fine when it comes to their take home pay.

In fact, the top managers pulled in fortunes, despite the fact that several of them – at least four of the top eight earners – failed to beat the S&P 500 last year, which investors can buy for close to free. (The losing funds were run by billionaires Ray Dalio, Dan Loeb, Ken Griffin and David Tepper. The S&P 500 returned 9.5% in 2016.)

Forbes identifies the earnings of each listee as well as insights about the firm's performance and background.

We've included the top eight hedge funders from the list. As a group, they earned more than $6.8 billion. The firms they founded or run manage a combined $400 plus billion.

David Shaw didn't find his way to Wall Street until after he worked in academia as a computer science professor at Columbia University. That technical background has influenced the way in which his firm, D.E. Shaw & Co, has done business. 

Earnings in 2016: $400 million

6. Paul Singer, Elliott Management

Paul Singer's firm, Elliott Management, had an impressive 2016. According to Forbes, the firm secured $2.4 billion from outstanding bond payments from the government of Argentina after a 15-year showdown. And the hedge fund also delivered returns of 13% last year after fees.

Earnings in 2016: $400 million

6. Daniel Loeb, founder of Third Point

Dan Loeb founded his activist hedge fund Third Point in 1995. According to Forbes, the firm has "navigated financial markets more deftly than many of [their] battered activist peers over the last few years." Last year, Third Point's main fund returned 6.1%.

Earnings in 2016: $400 million

Bath's Norland College is doing more than train nannies — it is also awarding them with the social status they need to be hired by high-profile families around the world.

Providing childcare training for 125 years, Norland graduates have included Prince George’s nanny, Maria Borrallo, as well as the nanny of Mick Jagger and his ex-wife Jerry Hall's children, Lizzie and James, according to The Daily Mail.

So what does it take to be a Norland nanny?

Students at Norland graduate with a degreed validated by the University of Gloucestershire, as well as a Norland Diploma, which teaches them hands-on practical skills. From avoiding paparazzi in a car to anti-terrorism training, these skills are not those acquired by regular nannies.

Business Insider spoke to Norland Vice Principal Mandy Donaldson, who has been at the school for nearly five years, to find out how the school works behind the scenes. Here's what it takes to become one of the UK's most sought-after child minders.

This is Norland College, the prestigious nanny school that has been running childcare courses since 1892.

The school's nannies have gone on to work for some of the most high-profile families in the world. Maria Teresa Turrion Borrallo, nanny of Prince George, came from Norland.

While Maria was "the right fit" for the family, and the school felt comfortable placing her with the royals, Norland Vice Principal Mandy Donaldson told Business Insider that Maria was "no more or less qualified than any Norland nanny."

Mick Jagger also hired a Norland nanny with ex-wife Jerry Hall to look after their children Lizzie and James, according to The Daily Mail.

Over the past five years, Norland has grown from 100 students to 250 in order to meet the demand for its graduates.

LONDON – 2016 will be remembered as a year of populist political upsets.

The UK's Brexit vote in June and the election of President Donald Trump in November put nationalism centre stage in global politics.

Meanwhile, French National Front leader Marine le Pen is preparing for her own upset this year in Europe.

But the surge has been a long time coming, according to analysts at Deutsche Bank.

"For explaining vote choices, some analysts have stressed the connection between a sense of general pessimism among (parts of) the electorate and support for populists," Deutsche Bank economists Barbara Boetscher and Patricia Wruuck said in a note to clients on Friday.

The note features four illuminating charts that show just how populism came to be the dominant political movement of the modern West and traces its roots back to the early 2000s. Take a look at the charts below: 

Populism has become tied up with a feeling that problems in one's own country are being made worse by problems in the rest of the world.

With that in mind, more people have looked to an authoritarian leader to focus on national, rather than international goals. Deutsche Bank said: "An important point here is that a negative outlook may induce people to opt for “the more risky choice”, i.e. the populist option, because they feel that they have suffered a loss already."

Populism and political extremism has been on the rise for years, especially in Europe. Both left and right wing authoritarians have been gaining in popularity.

The Federal Reserve hiked interest rates on Wednesday, raising its target federal funds rate by 25 basis points to a range of 0.75% to 1.0%.

The rate hike is seen as a vote of confidence in the US economy, which has witnessed increasing inflation and job growth.

All of the members of the Federal Open Market Committee except for the Minneapolis Fed governor, Neel Kashkari, voted in favor of a rate hike.

Here's a roundup of reactions from Wall Street firms following Wednesday's decision.

Societe Generale, Albert Edwards

"So finally the Fed has got its 'a' into 'g' and raised rates. Although this will be the first of many rate rises in a move to normalise rates, the Fed's lack of verbal assertiveness means the market still cannot bring itself to believe the Fed's own projections for interest rate hikes."

Computers are kind of boring, right?

Whether you're a Mac fan or a PC person, I can hand you any laptop in the world, you can log into your Facebook and Google accounts, and do probably 90% of what you need to do. It means that, for a lot of people, one computer is pretty much interchangeable with any other.

But it doesn't have to be that way. 

For the last two months, I've been using a Microsoft Surface Studio— a beautiful all-in-one PC, made with the goal of breathing new life into the tired old desktop computer. 

It's Microsoft's first-ever desktop computer, following the well-received Surface Pro tablet and Surface Book laptop lines. Starting at $2,999, it's a piece of premium hardware that's not for everyone. Still, I'm here to tell you that for the last two months, this machine has put a grin on my face every dang day. Here's why:

It's tempting to compare the Surface Studio to Apple's iMac all-in-one PCs. They do share a certain design sensibility. But, in my opinion, the Surface Studio is so much more.

This is the Surface Studio. It's got a giant, gorgeous 28-inch touchscreen display, and comes with a wireless keyboard and mouse. Just like this, it was enough to engender jealousy and admiration from coworkers.

It's a fabulous computer, with enough processing power to handle all the tabs, Slack chats, and Steam windows I have open. But luxury doesn't come cheap: The cheapest Surface Studio starts at $2,999; the tricked-out configuration I tested goes for $4,199.

If, like many people, you stumble out of college in your early 20s, unsure of what to do next, you can be forgiven for needing a few years to get your bearings.

The transition from school to work (or more work), can take a bit of getting used to. And it can also be a fun time to try things and toss them away, to not worry so much about what's coming down the road.

But by 24, you have unquestionably entered adulthood, and it's good to start taking stock of what things you want to make sure you get a head start on. These choices could influence the rest of your life.

To help out, a bunch of people chimed in on a Quora thread discussing the skills every 24 year old should to learn. We narrowed it down to the top 11 pieces of advice.

Here they are:

Become a master salesperson of yourself.

"Sales is the basis of all business success. You are always selling, even if your role does not include sales in the job description. You sell during marketing activities, team meetings, customer service, product management, conferences, business development, engineering, user experience and more. A solid foundation in how to sell can give you a wide advantage over your colleagues and competitors."— Anonymous

Get out of your comfort zone.

"Get real world experience. Start businesses, talk to people, ask a pretty girl out, go skydiving, become good at small talk, and for the love of god don't take yourself too seriously."— Christian Pretorius

Get very good at one thing.

"Your job, photoshop, singing, dancing, whistling, so that if the worst happens, and you get kicked out of your job and house and friends are done using you, you can still earn your livelihood by freelancing... (even whistling will do — you can roam on roads asking couples to dedicate songs to each other and they will pay you – tried and tested)."— Rohit Mishra

Aging infrastructure and booming demand for air travel have put a sometimes unbearable strain on North America's airports. While it's no secret our domestic facilities often lack the amenities and architectural flair of their international counterparts, there are a few airports that can hold their own.

In March, leading aviation reviewer Skytrax released the results of its annual World Airport Awards, which includes a list of the best airports in North America. The Skytrax annual rankings are based on the impressions of nearly 14 million fliers from 105 countries. More than 550 airports were included in the survey, which covers 39 service and performance parameters, including facility comfort, the location of bathrooms, and the language skills of the staff.

Here's a look at the airports in North America that ranked the highest:

10. New York John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK)

Yearly passengers: 56.8 Million

Previous rank: 9

Why it's great: For many, JFK Airport is synonymous with the glory years of aviation. For others, JFK is no more than a crumbling relic of a bygone era.

In reality, the JFK of today is neither. Gone are the dated 1960s-era terminal buildings and their dilapidated facilities. In their place are modern terminal facilities that are either newly constructed or recently renovated. JFK customers cite the airport's new terminals and shorter security lines as key improvements.

9. Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA)

Yearly passengers: 45.7 million

Previous rank: 7

Why it's great: SeaTac is the busiest airport in the Pacific Northwest. It serves as the main hub for Alaska Airlines and is one of Delta's gateways to the Far East. Skytrax customers noted the airport for its cleanliness, wide variety of dining options, and efficient baggage system.

8. Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH)

Yearly passengers: 43 million

Previous rank: 11

Why it's great: Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport was the 11th busiest airport in the US in 2015. IAH serves as a major hub for United Airlines and is home to 29 airlines with direct flights to more than 160 destinations around the world. The airport's five terminals and five runways sit on over 11,000 acres of land.

There's a new style of WiFi router called a "mesh system," which covers your entire home in strong, fast WiFi. They work much better than traditional WiFi range extenders, which is great for larger homes.

The problem with mesh systems is that you have to ditch your normal router to buy a whole new system, like Eero, Google WiFi, or Netgear's Orbi, which include a mesh router and the mesh extenders that usually accompany it. Starting at around $350, these new mesh systems aren't cheap, especially when your normal router works fine when you're within its range.

That's where this $130 device really shines: The AmpliFi HD Meshpoint, from networking company Ubiquiti, can turn your normal WiFi network into a modern mesh network at a fraction of the price of a full mesh system. It works with any WiFi router, including those that aren't made by Ubiquiti. It'll even work with routers given to you by your internet service provider.

Check it out:

SEE ALSO: I tried Google Wifi, Eero, and Orbi — here's which one you should buy

Ubiquiti's AmpliFi HD meshpoints look like sleek antennas. You plug them directly into a power outlet to extend your WiFi network to areas of your home with poor WiFi signal and performance.

You could cover larger homes with multiple meshpoints, too.

To set it up, you just install the AmpliFi app onto your mobile device and plug the meshpoint into a power outlet in a room or area where you want to extend your WiFi network.

Japan is dealing with what economists call a "demographic time bomb."

Through a vicious cycle of low fertility and low consumer spending, the country's economy has gradually shrunk over the last 25 years.

People are living longer, and they're heaping greater social-security costs onto younger generations who aren't having kids to replace them — thereby furthering the cycle.

Here are some of the most visible signs in daily life that the time bomb is ticking.

Adult diapers outsell baby diapers.

Ever since 2011, sales of adult diapers in Japan have outpaced those of baby diapers.

The trend reflects just how big the cohort of senior citizens is: People over 65 make up a larger demographic than any other in Japan. Of the 127.11 million people, about 26.7% of them are seniors.

That proportion is up 3.7 percentage points from six years ago.

2016 marked a 117-year low for fertility.

Ever since 1899, the annual number of births in Japan had exceeded one million — until 2016.

When government officials conducted a tally of total births last year, they counted about 20,000 shy of the benchmark. The death count, meanwhile, fell at around 1.3 million.

Young people have started "granny dumping."

The word ubasute is an old Japanese word that translates to "granny dumping,"and according to Japanese news sources, it's making a comeback.

It describes the unfortunate practice of younger citizens bringing their senile elders to hospitals or charities and essentially abandoning them — generally because they can't afford care anymore.

The trend still isn't widespread yet: One social worker estimates the total number of cases is in the low hundreds each year.

The original Nintendo Game Boy was the size of a hotel bible, required four AA batteries, and only played games in black and white.

Disney fans are flocking to theaters to see the new live-action remake of "Beauty and the Beast," but the original 1991 movie will always hold a special place in our hearts. We've rounded up a list of fun facts even the biggest Disney fan might not have known about this classic film.

Scroll down for a look at 11 things you probably didn't know about "Beauty and the Beast."

Mrs. Potts was originally named Mrs. Chamomile.

During a special anniversary screening of "Beauty and the Beast" at New York City's Lincoln Center on September 18, producer Don Hahn revealed to the audience Mrs. Potts surprising original name: Mrs. Chamomile. 

"For Mrs. Potts, we originally tried to find the most soothing possible association and we came up with Mrs. Chamomile," Hahn told Vanity Fair at the event. "Chamomile is a very, soothing herbal tea, but nobody could pronounce it. So Howard [Ashman] said, 'Let’s call her Mrs. Potts.'"

Paige O'Hara (Belle) ad-libbed a joke about the Beast growing a beard after his transformation that almost made it into the first movie.

Paige O'Hara was the voice behind Belle, and during the course of creating the movie she became rather attached to the Beast as, well, a beast.  When recording the scene after he transforms into a human again, she couldn't help adding in an extra line.

"I love Glen Keane's Beast, that's why I ad-libbed 'Do you think you can grow a beard?'" O'Hara tells INSIDER. "It almost made it in the movie. But Glen's very proud of his prince and I understand why. He really is the most beautiful, I think, of all the Disney princes in history."

If you've seen the new remake, you might have noticed that Disney gave this line to Emma Watson's version of Belle. 

That wasn't the only improvised line — Cogsworth's joke about gifts the Beast could give Belle was not in the original script.

When the Beast asks Cogsworth and Lumiere for ideas about a special thing he could do for Belle, Cogsworth replies: "Well there's the usual things — flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep."

The line was improvised by actor David Ogden Stiers, and the directors liked it so much they actually kept it in.

The relationship between Main Street and Big Business appears to have broken down completely in the United States.

Brunswick, the international advisory firm, has just released their global survey of over 40,000 people from 26 countries. The survey spans generations, geographies and measures global sentiment on an array of topics such as globalization and automation.

And what is striking is that respondents in the United States are among the most likely to be highly skeptical of the role of big business. 

The key findings:

• 69% of Americans said business leaders do not understand the challenges they face in their life, the highest percentage of any country in the survey.
• There was 33% net agreement that when businesses do well, everyone benefits, with the US ranking below the likes of China, India, Italy, Brazil, Germany, Sweden and Japan by that metric.
• Only 43% of respondents agreed with the statement that businesses can provide solutions to major challenges. Only India and Thailand had lower scores. 

The research from Brunswick echoes earlier research from Just Capital, a nonprofit set up by legendary hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones. In a survey conducted back in 2015, Americans of all ages, incomes, and political leanings said corporate America is headed in the wrong direction. 

The following charts illustrate that sentiment.

The US has the highest percentage of people who think business leaders don't understand the challenges they face.

Respondents in the US were less likely to agree that society as a whole benefits from the prosperity of businesses than those from many other nations.

Americans also have little faith in the ability of big business to provide solutions to major challenges.

Warning: There are spoilers ahead if you haven't seen the live-action "Beauty and the Beast."

Disney's live-action "Beauty and the Beast" is now in theaters. If you head out to see it, you'll notice a lot has changed from the 1991 "tale as old as time" you may remember.

Keep reading to see the biggest changes the live-action movie makes from Disney's original animated classic. 

1. The Prince doesn't get turned into the Beast right at the film's start.

The live-action film starts off very different from its animated counterpart. While there's still a narrator over the movie's intro, the film's prologue ditches the stain glass window format and expands on how and why the Prince was transformed into a hideous Beast.

We see the Prince hold a ball with many of the village's townspeople. The Enchantress intrudes on the party disguised as a beggar woman. When she's turned away by the Prince and laughed at by his company, she casts the spell on the Beast and everyone in his castle.

2. The enchantment itself is a little different and darker.

The original spell says the Beast's rose will bloom until his 21st birthday. If he doesn't learn to love and find someone who can love him in return by the time the last petal falls, he'll forever remain a beast while his servants will be trapped as household objects.

In the new film, we're never told how long the rose will bloom; however, when the last petal falls from the flower its suggested all of the Beast's servants will be killed. The Prince will remain a beast, but all of the servants will become actual inanimate objects. It seems a bit excessive.

3. There's a reason it's always wintertime at the castle.

In the animated feature, it appears to quickly turn from fall into winter while Belle is imprisoned by the Beast. The live-action film clears up the quickly changing seasons by making it so the enchantment makes the castle shrouded in an eternal winter.

In 1832, Yale students — including future President William Howard Taft's father— founded one of America's most famous secret societies: Skull and Bones.

Each year, only 15 juniors are "tapped," or chosen, for lifetime membership in the club. 

A windowless building on 64 High St., the "Tomb," serves as the club's headquarters. The roof is a landing pad for a private helicopter, according to Alexandra Robbins' book, "Secrets of the Tomb: Skull and Bones, the Ivy League, and the Hidden Paths of Power." For that perk and others, Bonesmen must swear total allegiance to the club.

New members reportedly divulge intimate personal details, including their full sexual histories, before they're inducted. They also agree to give part of their estates to the club. But, in return, they receive the promise of lifelong financial stability — so they won't feel tempted to sell the club's secrets, Robbins writes.

From among those business titans, politicians, and three US presidents, we picked the honor roll.

William Howard Taft — Class of 1878

As the only person to serve as both president and Supreme Court chief justice, Taft earned his spot on our list. The 27th president went by "Old Bill" during his Yale days but later earned the nickname "Big Lub."

Taft also received the honorary title of "magog," meaning he had the most sexual experience while in the secret club, according to Alexandra Robbins. 

Young Taft probably found entrance into the club rather easily. His father, former Attorney General Alphonso Taft, cofounded Skull and Bones as a Yale student in 1832.

Walter Camp — Class of 1880

Known as the "father of American football," Camp, with other classmates, developed the game from the Brits' version of rugby. He played in the first rugby game at Yale against Harvard in 1876.

Camp created many of modern football's rules, such as assessment of points and limiting the field-team to 11 men per side. But most importantly, he brought organization and esteem to the game, serving on the rules committee until his death. 

Camp also established the National College Athletic Association, still operating today. During World War I, most of the armed forces conditioned using his tactics. 

Lyman Spitzer — Class of 1935

A noted astrophysicist, Spitzer dreamed up the idea behind the Hubble Space Telescope — the first method to observe space uninhibited by the Earth's atmosphere. He also lobbied NASA and Congress for the funds and oversaw production of the actual machine. 

After 44 years, NASA launched the Hubble into space. The Hubble remains there today, providing stunning images of the universe and making new discoveries.

NASA named the Spitzer Space Telescope in his honor.

Donald Trump has effectively gone from managing his family-owned real estate company— and his own career in show business — to running the executive branch of the United States.

That's a pretty big leap.

Business Insider asked four management experts to weigh in on Trump's management style.

They didn't discuss his politics — just his performance as the leader of the executive branch of government.

Here's what they had to say:

He's an aggressive negotiator

Trump frequently touts being able to make deals as one of his greatest management strengths.

His ghost-written best-seller "The Art of the Deal," highlighted some of his aggressive negotiation strategies, like being prepared to alienate people and blur the truth in order to get what you want (although the book also acknowledged that the best deals allow both parties walk away satisfied).

Trump once summed up his mantra on negotiating to Business Insider: "It's give-and-take. But it's gotta be mostly take. Because you can't give. You gotta mostly take."

Christine Porath, a professor at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business and co-author of "The Cost of Bad Behavior," told Business Insider that such a tactic can only go so far. She said that managers must often take an assertive stance in negotiations, but a pattern of antagonism can wear thin.

"It may be very appropriate for Trump or any other leader to use that style of negotiation, if the issue's very important to us or if he's up against someone with that style, because you don't want to get steamrolled," she said. "Typically, if there's a pattern of that style, people will not want to work with you. You're losing out on the relationship or the long-term gain of being able to collaborate with a person, group, or country."

"Friend or Foe" co-author and Wharton professor Maurice Schweitzer said that reports of squabbles with Australia, Mexico, and the EU might be a sign that Trump's style is not effective for dealing with long-term allies.

"I would say the foundations for negotiation require careful attention," Schweitzer said. "This isn't to say you can't bring down a heavy hammer and exploit leverage that you have. You can do that in a short-term way that extracts surplus, but, in the long run, it's not an effective strategy."

His co-author, Columbia Business School professor Adam Galinsky, agreed that a more nuanced approach is usually needed when hashing out any sort of deal.

"The lighter your touch, the less people think they're being pushed by you, the more likely to think that something is of their own volition, the more likely they are to own it and embrace it," he said.

He has business management experience

Porath said that Trump's business experience is his biggest strength when it comes to tackling the challenge of managing the executive branch. Trump has had a hand in his family's real estate business since he was an undergraduate at the University of Pennsylvania.

"He has a lot of experiences to draw from," Porath said. "It's experience with having to deal with different parties to get deals done. For example, I imagine that with his real estate dealings, you have to work with a lot of people, whether to buy the property and or to make changes and or to get things approved."

He's a top-down manager

As president, Trump must navigate an increasingly uncertain world. Escalating tensions with North Korea, repealing and replacing Obamacare, and navigating relations with the Kremlin are just some of the challenges on the table.

MIT Sloan School of Management professor Hal Gregersen said he would characterize Trump as a "top-down" or "command-and-control" manager. He said that such leaders tend to work best in "predictable and certain" atmospheres.

"If we look at the opposite extreme, where it's unclear what to do or it's even unclear what to pay attention to, a top-down, command-control approach to leadership can become can become an extremely dangerous Achilles heel for any leader," he said.

Paraphrasing former United States Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Gregersen said that failing to recognize "unknown unknowns," or unanticipated risks, will harm leaders and organizations in the long run.
