81 students. 21,196 hours. Zero shortcuts. 🏆

This semester our practicum students showed up — in every arena, every office, and every opportunity given to them. From FSU Athletics to national agencies, these students didn't just learn the industry… they became part of it.

We are so proud of every single one of them. 👏

FSU Sport Management professor Mark DiDonato breaks down how dynamic pricing, luxury tiers, and official resale platforms are reshaping sports economics — and what it means for the fans who've always shown up. ⚽
