Sports Analytics Team

Ohio University business students pose at the Sports Analytics Conference

The Ohio Sports Analytics Team (OSAT) meets weekly to discuss and investigate developments in the progressing field of analytics and sport. The organization works with students to develop case studies looking at recent works in sports analytics and encourages members to develop their own insights. The club fosters further growth by working with students to develop quantitative skills, interact with industry professionals, and by allowing students the opportunity to attend industry conferences. 

Although the Ohio Sports Analytics Team (OSAT) is housed within the College of Business, the team's aim is to include students from all Ohio University majors who are interested in sports analytics.

While most members' academics fit the expected Sport Management or Business Analytics path, the team's skill-set correlates to all aspects of business: finance, accounting, MIS, etc. Furthermore, students from non-business majors (i.e., mathematics, computer science, statistics, engineering, coaching), bring their own perspectives to the group, making the team stronger. Diversity of thought is vital to the club’s success.

Membership

Membership is open to any driven Bobcat who enjoys sports, takes initiative, and can work independently. No matter your knowledge or skillset, you can have an impact on the club.

Annual dues for the team are $25. All members receive a t-shirt, compensation for any sports analytics book of their choosing, and financial assistance in the event of going to an analytics conference. As a member, you also get a chance to be a fellow for the OHIO's CRA. Contact the team with questions.
