Happy 6th of July

Hope everyone had a safe and happy Fourth. A couple of things to get your 6th of July going ...

Paul MacArthur of Utica College is looking to put together a panel for next year's BEA focusing on Sports Radio. If you have any sports radio papers you want to present at BEA next year, please let him know. Current sports radio issues/research and sports radio history welcome. Just send Paul a quick synopsis of what your proposed paper by July 15, 2009. You can reach him at: pmacart@utica.edu or 315-792-3348.

Also, there is a CFP for the third annual Scholarly Colloquium on Intercollegiate Athletics. The theme is "College Sports in Recessionary Times: Assessing Challenges and Opportunities." If you're interested, e-mail an abstract of no more than 300 words to John Thelin at jthelin@uky.edu. Deadline for the proposal is October 1; the conference takes place next January 12-13 in Atlanta.
