Crazy Horse Gentlemen's Club Case Study
When offered league sponsorship opportunities, our team was 2-2 with eleven credits left to spend. After dealing with injuries to key starters, Keenan Allen and Danny Woodhead, we were left with fewer credits than our team desired. Thus, the idea of adding credits initially intrigued our group. One of our team members, however, reminded us that our eleven credits was better than many of the other teams in the league. Adding credits to teams in the league would only force us to pay more for players in free agency. This would also hurt our leverage in potential trades with teams that desperately need credits. Although it may seem counterintuitive to not want more credits, our team has a goal of winning the Super Bowl for our fans and value winning …show more content…
Five credits for each team was the most offered by any of the three companies. But, could a gentleman’s club be depicted in any way that’s not detrimental to the league’s image? Our league could benefit from female viewership and support and our group decided this was not the way to go about it. Would parents feel comfortable letting their children associate a game they play and watch with a gentlemen’s club? If the league passed this proposal, we would have had an image problem with a large segment of the population that we as a league would have to spend a lot of time and resources addressing. We unanimously decided this was not the publicity we wanted as a league, and it would end up costing us money in the …show more content…
Their offering was two credits with an additional tiered credit payout based on attendance. Our team, Team 1256, was third from last, so Mylan offered us two additional credits to have a total of four. Had we been one of the teams with higher attendance, we might have debated this proposal more. Adding on the reputation of Mylan after their epi-pen incident, this was definitely not an option for us. The teams at the top of the attendance ranking would benefited the most had this been passed, as the top two teams would have received eight credits in total compared to our

Each state should highly…

    Personal Narrative: The Frequent Player Card

    No one told me about this year-end tournament when I purchased the Frequent Player Card. Perhaps if they sent out a little notice via Facebook or an e-mail reminder, it would draw more players. And, your suggestion to have a ladies division might encourage more to sign up. There is no way we can compete with single-digit men players...if not for a prize, for bragging rights.…

    The 2011 NFL Lockout: NFL Owners vs. NFL Players

    Over the past twenty years, the National Football League (NFL) has seen its product grow and blossom into America’s premier fan viewing sport. The NFL currently has 31 franchises in cities located throughout the United States. Some teams are located in major markets like New York and Chicago, while some teams are have put down their roots in smaller markets like Kansas City and Indianapolis. No matter how big the market or how poor the teams performance is on the field, one thing is constant, the NFL, the NFL owner, and the NFL players are making millions upon millions of dollars playing a game. The NFL is a money making machine. The kind we all wish we could operate or own. Every week the NFL rakes in the profits. Wherever there is money to be made, rest assured there is greed rearing its ugly little head. This project focuses on the 2011 NFL Lockout and the negotiations that eventually led to a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that was signed in July of 2011. (ESPN website, n.d.)…

    NCAA Cost Deficit Analysis

    Universities and NCAA Division I athletic programs are closely connected in many ways. One of the main ways these two are connected is based on finances. There are several financial positions that are established. While all points display problems with the finances, these perspectives are different problems. One perspective is that financial spending is usually not self-sustainable with rising costs, showing a need to use as many resources as possible to keep the programs alive. Some think that the limit of resources should be better distributed to academic spending. Some think that there are resources that are available for students to be paid as employees. My position is that some spending should be cut away from athletics, as it is proven…

    Nfl History

    Revenue sharing is what made the NFL a powerful and economically successful sports business model for these times. The then commissioner Pete Rozelle persuaded NFL governors to share the greater part of their revenues equally. With this method there wasn't much in it for big-market teams, but by agreeing to the system of socialism and by protecting the competitiveness of small-market teams such as Green Bay, they built the idea for the great commercial power it has become. Revenue sharing was a brilliant idea because it worked. It succeeded because network television sports were growing fast and massive; also football games were perfect TV property. Unlike baseball and basketball, football teams play once a week and this opened up the opportunity to turn each game into an event. National broadcasts contracts, divided equally without considering to market size, became the NFL'S vital source of revenue. Currently the NFL is carrying out a funded revenue program to help protect its small market franchises. The league already shares certain revenues but this new program would allow small market franchises to get money from an additional pool funded mostly by top revenue-generating teams. Other reasons why revenue sharing works is because NFL…

    College Ripoff: College Athlete

    From 2006 to 2012, 51 player left college basketball after only playing one year in college (collegesportsscholarships.com). That’s a little less than nine players per year. This may be a relative few, but the nine that leave are usually some of the best players in the NCAA. A small financial incentive may be able to keep these kids in college longer and improve the quality of the game. In football, this year had the most players leave early of any other year(cbs.com). This year wasn’t extraneous though, 2014 had the second most players leave early. The trend of players leaving early is alarming and paying these players would encourage players to stay in college and improve their odds of going pro. And about 40% of the underclassmen that enter the NFL draft go undrafted(cbs.com). We need to give some incentive to keep students in school and this is it.…

    Analysis On Why Student Athletes Should Be Paid

    The short answer to this question is no. Paying the athletes can only make these athletic teams more competitive. This system would give the teams that never envisioned playing for a championship a chance to go after the star players, and actually having as chance to get them. People are afraid of change, but the world is changing all around us.…

    Reasons College Football Players Should Get Paid

    Money gives food, money gives water, money gives life, but money is not given to collegiate football athletes. The National Collegiate Athletic Association, NCAA, made a billion dollars on the games during March Madness and even after the nets were cut and a champion was crowned not a single player was give any money. Collegiate football players, or any collegiate player for that matter, should be paid for each game based on how hard they work and how dedicated they are to their sport. The athletes are the basis and the main reason the NCAA makes their millions. In addition, it can give these athletes a financial education and better prepare them for their future. Money is the reason people thrive.…

    Analysis: Why Student Athletes Should Be Paid

    In 2014, the NCAA had a gross revenue of about one billion dollars, distributing 547.1 million dollars to D1 schools. The money that D1 schools rake in from athletics is about 79% of their total income per year and helps them improve their respective school in academics, extracurricular activities, research, clubs and societies, and a multitude of other areas. Unfortunately, the athletes that bring in all this money receive absolutely no revenue and are essentially treated like slaves so that the school can prosper. Even though many people would argue that athletes should play the sport for the love of the game, their commitment, sacrifice of education, and risk of injury or permanent damage suggest they should get some compensation for their performance.…

    Why College Football Should Be Paid

    If the boosters buy out 10 of those players, then that leaves 10 scholarships to be spread out through the other 30 players without any scholarships. So this can benefit the walk ons that did not receive anything before, now can get money from the school. People may say that it is unfair for one player to be paid and another not, but is it fair that a boss gets paid more than their assistant. It is the American way, people are paid for their worth everybody is not…

    Argumentative Essay: Should College Football Players Get Paid

    To get a sense of the amount of money involved intercollegiate sports such as football. Let’s be clear, football cannot be taught, its either you have it in you or you don’t have it in you, ‘’It’s a God given talent’’. I honestly don’t believe it is fair for football players to not receive a single penny after bringing in thousands and sometimes millions of dollars in the playoff games, and in the championship game. For example, on December 31 2016, Per Adam Jude both teams were allotted 13,000 tickets which equal’s 26,000 tickets, which left 45,228 tickets to be paid for full price. According to www.vividseats.com the cheapest tickets were 180.00 each. There are 20,000 nosebleed seats in this stadium they played in. so if you do the math and calculate 180x20,000, the amount will equal out to 360,000 dollars, which would be the amount of money these football athletes attracted in just off nosebleed seats. The NCAA is a multi-billion-dollar industry that generated over $845 billion last year due to their players’ ability to entertain and perform to their fullest extent always. So, with all this money flowing in why wouldn’t they provide their athletes a stipend? Truth be told, if it wasn’t for these athletes there wouldn’t be no fans, which mean there wouldn’t be no money. So, can you tell how is it fair that these football players can’t receive a single dime after putting in the time,…

    “Paying athletes would force many schools to make tough choices and field fewer athletic teams.” (Williams 23) Williams goes on to argue that robbing other potential college athletes of the learning experience in college sports is not the way to go. “The NCAA is committed to fairness and helping all student athletes achieve their dreams.” (Williams 23) Furthermore, he even recognizes the NCAA has work to do, and that there is no simple answer to this problem.…
