For 13 years, graduate students in the “Ethics and Ethical Decision Making in Sport” course in the Sport Administration program have come together to host and participate in the Sport Ethics Debate directed by Professor Sue Mullane, Ph.D.

The debate explores current topical issues in sport ethics, and has included such topics as athletes and activism, genetic enhancement in sports, extreme sports, youth and high school sports, NCAA, NFL, and other governance issues. This year, esports and sport gambling have been added, among other topics. The goal is for students to take the concepts and theories learned in class and apply them to real-world situations.
