As the United States prepares to welcome the world for FIFA’s Club World Cup this June, golf’s Ryder Cup in September, the World Cup next year and the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028, the question becomes: Will the world want to come.

Saudi Arabia says that to host the 2034 World Cup in men’s soccer, it will build or renovate 15 stadiums, create a futuristic city and expand airports and public transport in a massive buildout to accommodate millions of athletes, coaches and spectators.

Sports economist Andrew Zimbalist says the big contract buyouts paid to fired coaches will continue to grow until the college sports business model changes.
