Well, Yo-Yo Ma has to do a lot recruiting for his Silk Road Project, and the SRP and Stanford Program on International and Cross-Cultural Education (S.P.I.C.E.) co-developed a middle school curriculum called "Along the Silk Road." And this is pretty cool:

But, as far as I can tell, the curriculum has nothing to do with sports.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
