Sports Business Society at UVA

Club Description

The goal of this club is to offer a place where students of any year can come and learn and discuss the rapidly expanding world of analytics and sabermetrics in sports, and how this information is changing the market that is professional sports. This club helps to bring together the worlds of academia and professional sports. The club has a website that will host all posts written and edited by club members. This will be a platform for students to publish their ideas and demonstrate their skills. The website will keep all posts available, and it will serve as the focal point of the club’s activities. Also, the club will invite guest speakers to speak during club meetings—either in person or through video conferencing software. Guest speakers will be a combination of UVA alumni involved in sports and general members in the sports business or analytics industry. The club would like to bring speakers in person for networking opportunities for club members.
