This course applies an evidence-based approach to decision-making using analytic tools to transform data into insight. Students will use existing math, statistics and business skills and knowledge to address business problems within the sports industry. While the use and application of business analytics will be addressed with respect to both on-field and off-field, this course will focus on on-field analytics (e.g., measuring and predicting player and team performance).
