Professor Jason Lopez will discuss how sports betting has redefined the industry.

Jason Lopez, Assistant Professor of Communication Arts, will join WUD Society & Politics to discuss sports betting and the impact it has had on the sports industry. Snack on free popcorn while Professor Lopez talks about how sports betting has influenced the nature of the sports they are based, and what are the values and attitudes behind the debates of the legalization of sports betting.  After this discussion, we will be filling out March Madness brackets for the men's and women's NCAA basketball tournament that we will follow throughout the month of March!
