Looking at the impact of big data and microchip’s roles in the collection of athlete’s performances and metrics.
An interview with Kristy Gale, Sports Technology Law Pioneer, in the space of data in sports.
Ever since the Supreme Court over-ruled PASPA, the sports-betting industry has been booming. But maybe not in they way some people would have thought. The hot button item is not the over-under on the UK-Duke basketball game or the point spread for the Yankees game. Instead, major betting powers (MGM) are positioning for player-data. These entities are dying for up-to-date, real time data that will allow them to have the the most accurate information so that it can eventually be wagered on.
In this week’s episode of Scholars of the Game, we interview Kristy Gale, a “pioneer” of the wild-west of sports-player data. In this riveting interview, Gale discusses up-and-coming ways that players’ biometric data is being processed and used to the leagues benefit. Take a listen to find out who she thinks are the big players in this industry and potentially serious privacy concerns for players!
