Recruit more international students. College enrollment is trending downward across the country. Most HBCUs are undergraduate schools with smaller enrollments; therefore, tuition is a large source of revenue. More students = more tuition revenue. The smaller payroll and student-to-faculty ratio of schools i.e. Cheyney warrant as few as several hundred more matriculants. With enrollment at capacity, HBCUs can focus their federal funds on infrastructural improvements, institutional competitiveness, and the like.

Didn't 50 Cent endorse or invest in Vitamin Water? Now fortified water is in the 'hood. Put "health" (supplement) in pill form and have Magic and Grant Hill back it. Let it catch on with distributors and consumers alike. It'll be another hit.

I don't expect LVMH to use an existing brand name. Will the company be ready to have its luxury brand associated with hand sanitizer? The introduction of a hygiene product during -- and in response to -- a pandemic won't help.

Health insurance -- above all, private health insurance -- averages higher premiums (or deductibles) than does car or life insurance. The outline of McKinsey's Financial Inclusion Puzzle, however, reminds me that health insurance is no less a mitigator against key risks. Access to affordable health insurance or some other third-party payer is not a luxury; it's part of financial well-being and, as McKinsey puts it, "financial inclusion."
