INTRODUCTION Professional athletes are often regarded as selfish, greedy, and out-of-touch with regular people. They hire agents who are vilified for negotiating employment contracts that occasionally yield compensation in excess of national gross domestic products.1 Professional athletes are thus commonly assumed to most value economic remuneration, rather than the “love of the game” or some other intangible, romanticized inclination. Lending credibility to this intuition is the rational actor model; a law and economic precept which presupposes that when individuals are presented with a set of choices, they rationally weigh costs and benefits, and select the course of † Assistant Professor of Law, Mississippi College School of Law; LL.M., Harvard Law School; J.D., University of Virginia School of Law; B.A., Georgetown University.

  • MINNESOTA VIKINGS EDITION Minnesota Vikings Team History
    TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE MINNESOTA VIKINGS EDITION Minnesota Vikings Team History Over the past quarter-century, the Minnesota Vikings have consistently been at the top of their division. During that same period, only Dallas has made more playoff appearances. In addition, only four teams have played in more Super Bowls than Minnesota, which participated in Super Bowls IV, VIII, IX and XI. The pro football saga in the Twin Cities began in August 1959, when fi ve Minnesota businessmen were awarded a franchise in the new American Football League. Five months later in January 1960, the same ownership group made up of Bill Boyer, Ole Haugsrud, Bernie Ridder, H. P. Skoglund and Max Winter fi rst forfeited its AFL membership and then was awarded the National Football League’s 14th franchise that was to begin play in 1961. Perhaps no team in history ever had a more spectacular debut than did the Minnesota Vikings in their fi rst game ever on September 17, 1961. Rookie Fran Tarkenton made a once-in-a-generation debut when he came off the bench to throw four touchdown passes and run for a fi fth score to lead his Vikings to a 37-13 thrashing of the fabled Chicago Bears. Two-and-a-half decades later in 1986, Tarkenton became the fi rst Vikings player to be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Minnesota’s fi rst management team was led by general manager Bert Rose and head coach Norm Van Brocklin. From the start, the Vikings embraced an energetic marketing program that produced a fi rst- year season ticket sale of nearly 26,000 and an average home attendance of 34,586, about 85 percent of the capacity of 40,800 Metropolitan Stadium.

NFL Betting: Is the Market Efficient? By Mathew Marino A Thesis Submitted to Department of Economics Skidmore College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the B.A Degree Thesis Advisor: Qi Ge May 2, 2017 1 Abstract The Purpose of this research paper is to analyze the NFL point spread and Over/Under betting market and determine if it follows the efficient market hypothesis. This research paper uses data from armchairanalysis.com for the 2000 NFL season through the 2015 NFL season including playoffs. I use OLS and probit regressions in order to determine NFL betting market efficiency for the point spread betting market and the Over/Under betting market. The results indicate, that as a whole, the NFL betting market appears to be efficient. However, there may be behavioral tendencies that can be taken advantage of in order to make consistent betting profits. 2 I. Introduction According to Statista.com (2015), the sports gambling market has been estimated to be worth between $700 billion and $1 trillion, but the exact size is difficult to measure because it is not legal everywhere.
