About Me

My photo
Professor Price
I am an assistant professor at Southern Utah University. While I do research in the fields of health and education, most people find the topic of sports economics a little more interesting. I find the research done in the field of sports economics to be really interesting, and this blog is a way for me to talk about some of these ideas.
