On Monday and Tuesday, June 22-23, the Kansas Council on Economic Education (KCEE) will host the Sports & Econ 101 workshop at the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City.

Speakers include university professors; former Kansas City Chiefs stars Gary Spani and Kevin Lockett; and Toby Cook of the Kansas City Royals. The participants also will receive a tour of the speedway’s facilities.

The workshop, which discusses the economics of sports, provides continuing education credit for certified Kansas teachers.

It is affiliated with all of the six state universities through Centers for Economic Education on the universities’ campuses and is based in the W. Frank Barton School of Business at WSU.
