An upcoming book by Associate Professor of Sport Management David Bockino was recently featured by the New York Times as one of the nonfiction books "everyone will be talking about in 2026."

The upcoming book “Over/Under” by David Bockino, associate professor of sport management and director of the media analytics program, was featured in the New York Times list of “New Nonfiction Everyone Will Be Talking About in 2026.”

From The New York Times:

“Since 2018, sports betting in the U.S. has gone from a maligned hobby to a booming business. After digging into decades of data, and following fans, speculators and grifters across the country, Bockino makes the case that gambling isn’t just entangled with the history of American sports culture — it’s practically responsible for it.”
