Last Blog for Budget & Finance of Sports
First and foremost, I really enjoyed the class; primarily because of the size of the class and the style in which it was taught. We all enjoyed the open discussions and have told several other students how much we liked the class. I have a feeling that the class will be some what larger next semester.As for the blogs, I never looked forward to actually writing one, but enjoyed writing them once I started. Maybe a good way to handle the blog from here on is to only write 4 or 5 for the semester, but make them longer. I can see where reading all of them for a larger class can take an enormous amount of time.
The assignments I enjoyed the most about the class were the excel assignment and the book report on “Moneyball”. I have always enjoyed working with excel and I have already used several times the new applications I learned (I started working last week on a data base of all Division III schools for film exchange purposes). Moneyball was a fun read and I have always enjoyed any book with behind the scene stories of what goes on in the sports world.
I am sure that both Sports Econ and Budget Finance will be among the most popular classes in the department. Best of luck at KSU and look forward to reading your new book when it comes out.
