The NSC-R Tidy Tuesday workshop sessions are inspired by the Tidy Tuesday initiative, which was aimed at providing a safe and supportive forum for individuals to practice their data processing and visualization skills in R while working with real-world data.

The dataset for this Tidy Tuesday is about Collegiate Sports in US. Alex Trinidad explores how revenue and expenditure are distributed in sports. He also looks at the differences in sport revenues and expenditures between men and women.
