Welcome to the TIGS ARC!
Research is critical to success in the sport business industry, as data is at the heart of strategy and decision-making. In the Tisch Institute for Global Sport, we’re honing students’ research skills to prepare them for future careers as sport business leaders. Led by Andrea Geurin, PhD, Director of Applied Student Research, the ARC brings together undergraduate and graduate students to engage in impactful applied research projects with industry partners, disseminated in a variety of outlets.
Our Industry Partner and 2026-27 Projects
For the 2026-27 academic year, the TIGS ARC developed a strategic research partnership with Milliat Press, a global print and digital magazine dedicated to women in sport.
In collaboration with Milliat Press, approximately 30 students are conducting research on the following topics:
- College athlete recruitment challenges and processes
- The influence of parents on athletes’ sport development and trajectories
- Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) disparities between men and women athletes and strategies for women college athletes
The findings from these three projects will help to inform Milliat Press in various business decisions, while also serving as valuable publishing opportunities for the ARC student researchers in the magazine, website, and/or social media outlets.
Near the end of the Spring 2027 semester, we will hold a TIGS ARC Research Showcase event to present the results of these projects – stay tuned for more information on this exciting event!
