Podcast debut, BOSS Leaders lecture, Texas Baseball project, Lucia spotlight, and UT sports updates.
On November 17th, we hosted Patrick Ryan as our BOSS Leaders Lecture Speaker. Patrick is the Co-Founder and Managing Director of Eventellect and a Board Member at UT’s Business of Sports (BOSI) Institute. He is also a leader in sports revenue and ticketing strategy, previously having spoken at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference and the Sports Business Journal (SBJ) Ticketing Symposium.
Additionally, BOSSO celebrates the culmination of a Texas Baseball research project. This project was completed by Dasha Churmasov, Tara Felux, Sophia Li, Gabrielle Moya, Michael Rees, Brad Siegel. The project specifically examined pitching statistics such as strikeouts, walks, ETAs, and innings pitched of various baseball players alongside the signing bonuses they received within the SEC conference. Congratulations to these BOSSO members for the results of their hard work this semester!
For our final member spotlight of the semester, meet Lucia! Lucia is a sophomore studying business and economics; her favorite sports team is the Dallas Mavericks. She’s passionate about the intersection of business, economics, and policy. Lucia is also currently training for a half-marathon! Lucia is the social director for BOSSO, which includes organizing social events and fostering member engagement. Creating this community has also been her favorite part of BOSSO. Finally, Lucia believes that UT should’ve been a lock into the college football playoffs after destroying A&M!
