    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications THE RISE AND FALL OF GRANTLAND A Thesis in Media Studies by Roger Van Scyoc © 2018 Roger Van Scyoc Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts May 2018 The thesis of Roger Van Scyoc was reviewed and approved* by the following: Russell Frank Associate Professor of Journalism Thesis Adviser Ford Risley Professor of Journalism Associate Dean for Undergraduate and Graduate Education Kevin Hagopian Senior Lecturer of Media Studies John Affleck Knight Chair in Sports Journalism and Society Matthew McAllister Professor of Media Studies Chair of Graduate Programs *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT The day before Halloween 2015, ESPN pulled the plug on Grantland. Spooked by slumping revenues and the ghost of its ousted leader Bill Simmons, the multimedia giant axed the sports and pop culture website that helped usher in a new era of digital media. The website, named for sports writing godfather Grantland Rice, channeled the prestige of a bygone era while crystallizing the nature of its own time. Grantland’s writers infused their pieces with spry commentary, unabashed passion and droll humor. Most importantly, they knew what they were writing about. From its birth in June 2011, Grantland quickly became a hub for educated sports consumption. Grantland’s pieces entertained and edified. Often vaulting over 1,000 words, they also skewed toward a more affluent and more educated audience. The internet promoted shifts and schisms by its very nature. Popular with millennials, Grantland filled a certain niche.

  • THE ALL-IN-ONE AUDIOBOOK Combining an Easy-To-Use Player with an Entire Audiobook
    t began, in 1979, as a modest idea of televising local sporting events throughout Ithe state of Connecticut, on a new cable channel called “Entertainment and Sports Programming Network.” Today, ESPN is arguably the most successful network in modern television history, spanning eight channels in the United States and around the world. Online or mobile, in HD, 3D, or print, it is an unprecedented media empire. Presidents have applauded it, parents have named children after it, and some of its personalities have become more celebrated than the superstar athletes they cover. But the inside story of its rise has never been fully told—until now. Drawing upon over five hundred interviews with the greatest names in ESPN’s history—among them Keith Olbermann, Dan Patrick, Chris Berman, Bob Ley, Linda Cohn, Tony Kornheiser, Robin Roberts, Bill Simmons, Jim Rome, Erin Andrews, Lou Holtz, Barry Melrose, Tom Jackson, and Dick Vitale—and an all-star collection of some of the world’s finest athletes, bestselling authors James Andrew Miller and Tom Shales take us behind the cameras, into the locker rooms, and deep inside the ESPN “campus” in Bristol, Connecticut. Here, in their own words, the men and women who made ESPN great reveal the secrets behind its success—as well as the many scandals, rivalries, off-screen battles, and triumphs that have accompanied that ascent. From the unknown producers and business visionaries to the most famous faces on television, it’s all here. JAMES ANDREW MILLER is the author of Running in Place: Inside the Senate and coauthor of the national bestseller Live from New York: An Uncensored History of “Saturday Night Live.” He has worked in virtually all aspects of journalism—as well as on the entertainment side of television production and development—for more than twenty years.

  • 20 Rules for Being a Sports Fan by Bill Simmons Page 2 Columnist
    20 Rules for Being a Sports Fan By Bill Simmons Page 2 columnist Ugh ... the dog days of February. The Olympics just ended. The NHL and NBA are limping toward the playoffs. We're still a few weeks away from WrestleMania, Junior Kiper's final NFL draft rankings, the Masters, fantasy baseball and watchable spring training games. This column has been brewing for about six weeks, ever since a startling phone conversation with one of my ESPN bosses (KJ, a Seattle native and die-hard Seahawks fan). We were chatting about the Patriots and Steelers potentially colliding in the playoffs, when KJ suddenly said, "At least if my Steelers lose, I'll be happy for you, because the Pats made it." Huh? My Steelers??? And this was how I found out that KJ -- my esteemed editor and friend, a good man, a father and a husband, the man who makes this column run so smoothly -- was a Sports Bigamist. As it turns out, the Steelers are KJ's Second-Favorite Team, whatever that means. Apparently, as long as Pittsburgh isn't playing Seattle, he roots for the Steelers, but he doesn't root for the Steelers quite as hard as he roots for the Seahawks, and if both teams are doing well, he chooses the Seahawks, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about the Steelers, and I think I just lost control of my bowels. KJ'S DEFE Honestly, I just can't understand it. You cannot root for two teams at the same time. You cannot hedge your bets.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS THE ECONOMIC SIGNIFICANCE OF COMPETITIVE BALANCE IN THE NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF THE DETERMINANTS OF LOCAL DEMAND PATRICK J KEMP SPRING 2010 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Economics with honors in Economics Reviewed and approved* by the following: Dr. Edward Coulson Professor of Economics Thesis Supervisor Dr. David Shapiro Professor of Economics and Co-Director of Undergraduate Studies Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College i Abstract In the study of sports economics the notion of competitive balance is well known. This thesis seeks to expand upon this well known notion and use it as part of an empirical analysis of the determinants of local demand for NBA franchises. This paper starts by focusing on the traditional notion of competitive balance, with specific regard to the sport basketball and the National Basketball Association specifically. It then quantifies the degree of competitive balance in the NBA since 1990 using metrics similar to those used by Quirk and Fort in their 1992 book Pay Dirt: The Business of Professional Team Sports. An extensive amount of linear regression analysis is then conducted, first looking at all teams and then teams belonging to certain market types. The empirical results indicate that competitive balance is not a significant determinant of local demand. The results also indicate key differences in the determinants between low-income market teams and high-income market teams. I make two recommendations as to how the NBA could beneficially alter its business model based upon these regression results: abolishing guaranteed contracts and changing the 100/0 home/away gate split.
