What started as a small gathering of sports nerds at MIT became one of the most influential events in modern sports. “Dorkapalooza: How the Nerds Won” traces the rise of the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, from its scrappy beginnings two decades ago to its outsized impact on the way teams, leagues, and fans understand the games they love. We explore the big ideas that reshaped sports, the backlash that followed, and what the future of analytics might look like. Featuring reflections from Bill Simmons, Daryl Morey, Jessica Gelman, Zach Lowe, Shane Battier, Michael Lewis, and more.
