As sport professionals, it is imperative to understand how society outside of the U.S. is involved in the business of sport. To reinforce the global view, the Center for Sport Leadership curriculum offers a course titled the European Model of Sport (SPTL 650).  Within this course, students tour European athletic facilities and attend major sporting events with a behind the scenes look at the entire operation.  Additionally, students attend daily seminars with Europe’s top sport professionals and discuss issues concerning club structure, players’ rights, marketing, event management and corporate sponsorship.
