Sports enthusiasm is NOT required for this course! People follow sports, rooting for a team or favorite players, but sports are much bigger than just a “national pastime,” and a bigger business than just “the games” and players. Students will learn from prominent guest speakers with long expertise in sports management and media, who will pull back the curtains on sports. Students will have opportunities for Q & A, moderated by instructor and former CNN correspondent Ralph Begleiter and lifelong sports broadcaster Phil Wood.
