BOULDER — University of Michigan professor Stefan Syzmanski, recognized as one the world's most influential sports economists, will speak Friday in Boulder at CU's Sports Governance Center.
Syzmanski will discuss current issues surrounding FIFA, soccer's world governing body, and present possible solutions to the problems.
The presentation begins at 3 p.m. in the Petry & Harrington Family Auditorium on the third floor of the CU Champions Center.
Most governing bodies for international sport are based in Europe. The sports they oversee make most of their money from commercial activities in Europe, which means means they are subject to the antitrust laws of the European Union (EU).
