Boasting relationships with league commissioners, owners, and top-level executives in multiple sports, the man known to many as the Sports Professor is most qualified to address fans' growing interest in the world of sport business. In Beyond the Scoreboard: An Insider's Guide to the Business of Sport, Horrow and coauthor Karla Swatek take a look behind the scenes of professional sport, an industry that newspapers devote an increasing amount of column space to every year.
