  People may still get tickets for Earvin “Magic” Johnson’s Feb. 11 speech, even though promotional materials have been temporarily pulled. The university wasn’t clear on press release and promotional material approval processes by Johnson’s representatives. The university received a signed contract over the weekend, but is still waiting for press release approval, said Danny Woodward, special assistant to the president. “It was difficult because Magic’s entire office was closed last week,” he said. Johnson is visiting the university as part of the Maverick Speakers Series to share successful secrets in his new book, 32 Ways to Be a Champion in Business. The Maverick Speakers Series includes the first woman in space, Sally Ride on Feb. 15 and legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin on March 24. Johnson is the Magic Johnson Foundation and Magic Johnson Enterprises CEO. According to his Web site, he’s been involved in ownership of some Starbucks franchises, 24 Hour Fitness centers and movie theaters. Johnson played for the Los Angeles Lakers for 13 years, was named the NBA’s Most Valuable Player three times and was part of the basketball “dream team” that won the 1992 Olympic gold medal. People may still get tickets on www.utatickets.com. The event is free, but a ticket is required to enter. Views: 488 | E-mail
