Re: BCB's Inside Look: Chad Ford http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chad_FordFord surprised many people in the NBA and numerous Insider readers last summer when he announced that he was leaving the basketball world to take a position as an assistant professor of international cultural studies for BYU-Hawaii. Ford currently teaches cultural conflict resolution at BYU-Hawaii, does research in sports and conflict, and still contributes occasionally to the NBA and draft sections of Insider.Ford has also traveled the world extensively, having lived in Connecticut, Missouri, North Carolina, California, Hawaii and Washington D.C., and having covered the NBA in Asia, Europe, and Africa. He also did research for the United Nations in Northern Ireland.Ford grew up in Kansas City, Missouri. He has a bachelor's degree in history from Brigham Young University-Hawaii, a master's degree in conflict analysis and resolution from George Mason University, and a Juris Doctorate from Georgetown University. Interesting guy.
