Sports Business and Soccer Panel at Business School December 10

The John Cook School of Business is announcing a Sports Business panel to kick off its new program starting this January:

The John Cook School of Business at St. Louis University is preparing to introduce a new Sports Business program in Jan 2010 with the launch of the first of four classes, Intro to Sports Business (MGT-307).

Before the classes kick off, we’d like to invite you to a panel discussion on Sports Business and Soccer on Thursday, December 10 from 7-9 pm in the Business School’s Anheuser-Busch Auditorium.

The panel has been formed to discuss the business implications on a local level (introduction of the new men’s and women’s pro teams in St. Louis), a national level (our nation’s efforts to secure the World Cup), and an International level (the upcoming World Cup in S. Africa in July 2010). The panel will consist of Dan Flynn, CEO & General Secretary of U.S. Soccer Federation; Jeff Cooper, Chairman of St. Louis Soccer United; Bruce Hudson, past Sr. Dir. of Global Sports Marketing of Anheuser-Busch; Mark Santel, MLS Ambassador and Executive Director of St. Louis Scott Gallagher; Frank Viverito, President of St. Louis Sports Commission.
