  • What Is the True Economic Value of a Black College Athlete
    A Note on Professional Amateurism: What does the NCAA earn from its black athletes? Dr. Boyce Watkins Assistant Professor of Finance Syracuse University Abstract Using standard financial discounting techniques, I calculate the value of the black athlete to the NCAA to be over $250 billion. This value nearly exceeds the GNP of Russia and the market value of the largest company in the United States. Reasons for nonpayment of athletes are considered, and the nonprofit status of the NCAA is called into question. New models of revenue distribution are discussed, and the economic struggles of the black community are found to be in stark contrast to the revenues earned by the NCAA via black athletes. Finally, the college degree granted to roughly 1/3 of those black athletes who graduate is worth only 5% of the total economic value of their athletic participation. I. Introduction The NCAA recently inked a contract with CBS Sports for $6 Billion for the rights to air the NCAA tournament. An additional quarter of a billion dollars are earned each year from bowl games and football championships. This revenue does not include funds earned during the regular season. Few professional sports enjoy the financial success generated by collegiate athletics. A disproportionate amount of this revenue is created by two major sports: football and basketball. Many would argue that these sports are fueled by the athletic prowess of black male athletes. As of 2003, black males represented 80 - 100% of the first the first team preseason basketball All-Americans (depending on the poll) and roughly 70% of the first-team football All-Americans.

Abstract This dissertation takes the form of an eleven-part podcast series titled, “A Self-Help Guide to Future Success.” The radio series relates to the topic of personal success. Success comes in all sorts of forms – financial, social, ethical, personal: it cannot be defined. In today’s environment, people find themselves confused more than ever before. As a senior in college who is about to graduate in less than four weeks, I find it mind-boggling how little students have thought about their futures.

    BlackCommentator.com - February 12, 2009 - Issue 311 February 12, 2009 - Issue 311 Home Black Coons & FOX News: A Worthy Partnership The Substance of Truth By Tolu Olorunda Black Commentator.com Columnist Most would agree that FOX News , Rupert Murdoch’s crumbling empire, has not been exactly fair to Black people over the years. In fact, it has, whenever possible, vehemently attacked whoever it perceived to be an important factor in Black America. At any given opportunity, its multi-millionaire hosts have encouraged, entertained and enlisted the support of pundits who openly detest Black people, and feel undaunted in speaking out publicly about it. Occasionally, when the fruits seem too ripe to withstand, the hosts themselves, caught in the hysteria of race-intoxication, spill out their guts about their disdain for Black humanity. An example of this occurred in September 2007, when FOX News’ top-rated host, Bill O’Reilly, narrated a recent encounter he had at a Black Harlem Restaurant - Sylvia’s. As O’Reilly claims, this experience was life-changing, because “there was no difference between Sylvia's restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. I mean, it was exactly the same, even though it's run by blacks, primarily black patronship.” O’Reilly later continued: “There wasn’t one person in Sylvia’s who was screaming, ‘M-Fer, I want more iced tea’.” The host, undisciplined by the network, would thereafter suggest that not only were his words misconstrued, but he deserves an apology from his detractors, because their nitpicking plays a part in stalling ongoing racial progress.
