Thank you to everyone who has registered for the upcoming College Sport Research Institute’s 2008 Scholarly Conference on College Sport (http://csri.memphis.edu ). The response from faculty, students, sport practitioners, and the public to the conference has been exceedingly gratifying. As a result of this response, both on-campus hotels are now sold out.

However, we have made arrangements with the nearby (1.5 miles) Doubletree Hotel East Memphis http://www.doubletreememphis.com for an additional block of rooms at the conference rate of $119.00/night. This room rate (king or 2 doubles) is good until March 26.

The Doubletree Hotel East Memphis – located at 5069 Sanderlin Avenue - is a full-service hotel with a bar and restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also have a shuttle service to and from the airport from 6:30AM-10:30PM. We will also be making arrangements for an early morning shuttle to The University of Memphis campus each day (Thursday – Saturday). To make a reservation you can go online at http://www.doubletreememphis.com or call (901) 767-6666 OR 1-800-445-8667. Make sure to say you are with the "Issues in College Sport Conference."
