1 C H A P T E R 1 Financial Issues in Sport Chapter 1

2 Chapter Objectives Understand how important managing money is for anyone in the sport industry. Understand how math, strategy, and managerial skills are crucial for financial decision making. Appreciate that some sport businesses are billion-dollar enterprises. Critically analyze the value of sport broadcasting contracts. Appreciate that sport sponsorship represents a strategic financial decision. Understand major developments in stadium construction trends.

3 Unique Issues in Sport Finance Should a team join a league? What is the value of players, and should they be traded? How do you create budgets to run a team, gym, or facility? Should the cost of tickets go up or remain the same? How do you obtain funds for a new sport business, new stadium, or new college campus athletic facility? Should colleges cut teams in order to close a budget gap? Should they add teams in order to produce more revenue?

4 Managing Money Finding, managing, tracking, and spending money refer to specific finance-related functions in a company or business. Failure to properly manage money can cause a business to fail. Financial planning is necessary for keeping the business successful and prosperous.

5 Internal constraints: Include a company s past credit history, sales volume, product lines, accounts receivable, inventory balances, and management structure. External constraints: Include inflationary conditions, significant competition, high interest rates, weak economic indicators, shrinking of the money supply by the government, and the political environment. Although it takes money to make money, you cannot make money unless you understand all the internal and external variables that affect your ability to properly manage your finances.

6 Key Terms Accounting: The process of calculating revenue and expenses through receipts and other facts to determine the numbers for a company or entity. Managerial accounting: More closely aligned with finance as it focuses on identifying the costs to produce a good or service so that financial planning can more effectively plan for the future. Finance: The process of examining the numbers and determining what they mean and what the past was and future will be for a company or entity; often entails identifying current and future revenue and expenses and determining future budgets to help an organization succeed. Economics: In contrast, takes the numbers and financial projections from numerous companies or entities to explore future trends.

7 Leveraging a Team for Financial Success 1998 San Diego Padres Spent $53 million (versus $32.8 million in 1997). Won National League Championship. Team essentially dismantled after that season. Increased spending, and thus winning percentage, garnered public support that led to a new stadium being built. The team s $20 million investment was returned many times over by the increased revenue the team received from the new stadium.

8 Sport Ownership Tampa Bay Buccaneers owner Malcolm Glazer spent $1.47 billion to purchase a controlling interest in Manchester United. $503 million of his own money $490 million in loans $509 million from issuing preferred securities Dallas Cowboys worth $1.8 billion in New York Yankees worth $1.7 billion in Ten NFL teams in 2010 were worth at least $1 billion.

9 Sport Broadcasting Rights Large broadcasting contracts The NCAA received $2.8 billion from CBS for a seven-year contract. NFL biggest money maker Fox has a National Conference deal worth $4.4 billion ($550 million per season), which included rights to half the Super Bowl games when it was signed. In 2011, ESPN extended its contract to cover Monday Night Football for nearly $2 billion a year through NASCAR Second only to the NFL in sports viewership $2.4 billion six-year contract with General Electric owned NBC and AOL Time Warner s TNT Advances in technology that are changing how sports are attracting fans and being broadcast to fans (e.g., mobile apps) are helping to fuel larger contracts.

10 Sports Sponsorships Key for any sponsorship deal is determining why companies might want a deal. Some companies sponsor a team, player, event, or stadium to drive sales. Others might attempt to improve their image or reputation. Nike signed a deal worth $40 million over five years with Tiger Woods when he turned pro in With Woods' success their revenue shot to an estimated $500 million per year. The next contract with Nike paid Tiger $25 million per year. In 2011, PepsiCo renewed their sponsorship deal with the NFL through the 2022 playoff for $1 billion a year. The New York Mets sold their stadium naming rights to Citigroup for $20 million a year.

11 Sport Sponsorship Failures MCI WorldCom had the naming rights for a hockey and basketball arena in Washington DC before filing for bankruptcy in The arena is now called the Verizon Center. Before filing for bankruptcy in 2002, United Airlines had its name plastered on Chicago s basketball and hockey arena. Luckily the airline is still running and the facility is still called the United Center. The most famous naming flop involved the baseball stadium in Houston named after the disgraced Enron Corporation; the stadium is now named after a wholesome orange juice supplier, Minute Maid.

12 Financing New Stadiums and Arenas Through 2001, 111 major professional sports franchises were operating in North America, and 91.9% (102) moved into new or significantly renovated stadiums. In 2009, more than $3.2 billion was spent on professional facilities and more than $1 billion on college facilities. Total taxpayers cost for stadiums or arenas built from 1995 through 2000 has been estimated at more than $9 billion. The average level of team contribution to new NFL stadiums built through 2001 was only 29%, or $82 million, of the typical construction cost for a football stadium. (continued)

13 Financing New Stadiums and Arenas (continued) Many studies have shown that very few facilities are able to cover their costs. One major study concluded that older arenas with little debt and numerous scheduled events (NBA, NHL, Ice Capades, family shows, circuses, and so on) tended to make the highest profit, while new stadiums for outdoor sports were least profitable. New stadium and arena projects rely on various funding techniques ranging from private contributions to municipal bonds. Municipal bonds: Municipal notes and bonds are publicly traded debt with the benefit of not having to comply with all of the registration requirements that other publicly traded securities need to follow.

14 Questions for Class Discussion 1. How many pairs of sports or athletic shoes do you own? What are the brands? Did you buy the shoes? How much did you pay? What is your most expensive model? Why is this important for sport finance? 2. Did you attend a professional sports event within the last year? Where did you go? Did you buy the tickets? How much did you pay? Did you buy any concession items? What items did you buy? How much did you pay? Is price a factor in your purchasing decisions as they relate to sport? 3. Have you ever developed a budget? What have you developed a budget for, and did you follow it? If you were able to follow the budget, did you meet your financial goals? If you did not follow the budget, what influenced your ability to stick to your plan? (continued)

15 Questions for Class Discussion (continued) 4. What problems might affect your ability to balance a checkbook? 5. Have you ever set up a bank account? What steps were involved? 6. Have you ever borrowed money? What was that experience like? Were you able to pay everything back that you owed? 7. If you had lots of money and wanted to invest in a sport, which sports team or event would you buy or sponsor? Why? If you did not have much money, would you make a sport-related investment or take a more traditional approach, such as banks or the stocks of large corporations? (continued)

16 Questions for Class Discussion (continued) 8. Do you think that building new stadiums or arenas is a wise investment? Back your answer with some analysis of the economic justification as well as the financial justification. 9. Identify 10 reasons why a larger corporation would want to put its name on the outside of a large stadium or arena. What are 10 reasons against such an investment? 10. Do you think that there are too many sports teams or events? Does a large number of teams and events hurt the industry by diluting the market?
