Goldman Sachs announced its 2023 class of managing directors Thursday afternoon, giving 608 employees the coveted title. It's a smaller cohort than the bank's 2021 MD class, down 5% amid a dealmaking slowdown. Still, Goldman appears to have taken pains to promote employees in revenue-generating divisions like investment banking and trading. Goldman says the percentage of women it promoted as part of the 2023 MD class sets a record, up 1% from 2021. Two years ago, Goldman promoted the largest managing director class in its history, naming 643 employees to the designation in 2021.

The Florida Panthers started the season without Sam Bennett, and they are bracing to be without him once again. Panthers coach Paul Maurice told reporters after the team practiced in Detroit on Wednesday that the reigning Eastern Conference champions aren't sure on the prognosis for Bennett, Florida's fourth-leading scorer in last season's playoffs. Bennett needed to be helped off the ice, unable to put any weight on his left leg. The Panthers have dealt with injuries throughout this young season, with defensemen Aaron Ekblad and Brandon Montour still expected to be weeks away from making their 2023-2024 debuts. He loves playing in Florida, loves the fans, loves the area.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Trea Turner had the moment that could have pushed the Phillies toward the World Series waiting for him. Harper, though, lined a 2-1 fastball to center to end the scoring threat, the inning — and Philadelphia's last, best chance to return to the World Series. The Diamondbacks used a walk-off Game 3 single and a tying two-run homer late in a Game 4 win that wiped out an 0-2 NLCS hole. Castellanos struck out — one of 11 in the NLCS — and, after a walk to Brandon Marsh, Thomson let the light-hitting Rojas take his cuts. The Phillies have not won a World Series since 2008.

Brandon Martin/Rice UniversityThe Ig Nobel Prize’s 33rd ceremony took place virtually on Thursday night, with prizes awarded by “genuine, genuinely bemused” Nobel laureates over Zoom. Geologist Jan Zalasiewicz won the coveted Chemistry and Geology Prize for his research into why many scientists like to lick rocks. The Medicine Prize was awarded for research into how many nose hairs are in each of a person’s nostrils.

During the first year of NIL, collectives were viewed as "hush-hush" by many in the industry, Opendorse marketplace's Braly Keller previously told Insider. Brandon McCladdie/Happy Valley UnitedHow collectives work with college athletesThe main goal of collectives is to create NIL opportunities for college athletes. About a quarter of Dinkytown Athletes' NIL deals have been business partnerships between Minnesota athletes and companies like Dove, Northwestern Mutual, and PNC Bank. Happy Valley United's NIL work also involves engaging with the local community, including the collective's partner charities, said McCladdie. Happy Valley United is building its brand through media attention and community-based "grassroots" efforts, McCladdie said.
