Sport Finance: Where The Money Comes From, And Where The Money Goes is a first of its kind textbook that invites students to evaluate sports across the entire industry. Each chapter contains similar fundamentals, allowing students to analyze financial, governance and structural elements of different leagues and organizations side by side. If a student brings to class a deep knowledge of how one sport operates financially, but is less aware of how other sports manage, this text allows students to compare 12 different major sport industries along with two crucial industry revenue drivers, stadium financing and sports media.
This sport finance text has several other unique characteristics: it is the first to look deeply at the how emerging professional sports industries for women work: it provides the student an analysis of the exploding youth sports industry, including the massive youth sports complexes being built all over the country; a comparison of the financial structures of professional soccer leagues worldwide; the inner workings of collegiate sport finance; and a broad look at what the future holds in the next decade with technology accelerating at unprecedented speed.
Your students will find this a relatable read, pulling them into the content via charts, graphs and case studies that help them more fully understand the challenges and opportunities facing the sports industry. This book is a perfect choice for a business or sports management curriculum.
