1. The American Basketball League (ABL) and the Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA) both folded after three seasons: the ABL in 1998, and the WUSA in 2003. Research the leagues, compare and contrast the reasons these two women’s professional sport leagues failed. Considering your research, do you see a way that one or both leagues could have succeeded? If so, how?.
2. What are two or three recent television rights deals that have been signed and what do you see are the advantages and disadvantages of such deals for the stakeholders involved?
3. Compare and contrast the interscholastic finances of both public schools and private schools
4. Looking at the current NCAA men’s Basketball scandal/corruption, changes are probably going to be made to help avoid future misgivings. Examine the scandal from four different stake holder positions and their managers, Athletic department (Athletic Director), whole university (University president & Board of Directors), NCAA (President) and NBA (League Commissioner). Act as if you are the manager from each stakeholder and write a plan of action providing details to prevent future corruption.
