Sports & Money
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page research paper that investigates the relationship between big sports and big money. Sports of any variety, high school, amateur, collegiate or professional, have obtained the cultural equivalent of religion among the majority of Americans. Presumably, athletic competition is about skill, endurance and the perseverance of the athlete. However, even a brief overview of sports shows that while these qualities are present in the background, sports today is all about the money. Sports economics are based on profit, which depends on winning and winning is frequently based on who has the most money. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Strategic Plan for an Intercollegiate Athletic Program
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page paper outlining a plan to
promote the "other" collegiate sports. The "big three" - football, basketball and baseball - gain
most of the attention given collegiate sports, with baseball trailing at a significant distance. There
are nearly two dozen other intercollegiate sports recognized and regulated by the NCAA,
however, and most receive far less attention from local fans and media. Increasing budgetary
constraints result in increased financial pressures on these other sports, and the five-year plan
presented here addresses ways to increase community awareness of and support for these sports.
The primary approach is a "grass roots" effort in which players and coaches visit local public and
private schools, inviting students to attend their games. Tickets are required but will be freely
given for two years, becoming more scarce in subsequent years so that competitions will be
generating gate receipts and the teams will be contributing to their own financial support.

Sudden Cardiac Death in Sports
[ send me this paper ]
(10 pp) Sudden deaths in athletes are usually
caused by previously unsuspected cardiovascular
disease. Such an event often assumes a high
public profile because of the generally held
perception that trained athletes constitute the
healthiest segment of our society. The death of a
well-known elite athlete often emphasizes this
visibility. Athletic field catastrophes strike to
the core of our sensibilities and often galvanize
us. They also inevitably raise a number of
practical and ethical issues.
