Description
We will use collegiate sports as a backdrop to discuss how institutions and interests can shape the “rules of the game.” Review the origins of the NCAA and how it has evolved into the Power 5 conferences.
Economic studies show how home games impact local business revenues. The impact of COVID-19 on the world of college sports will also be explored.
