    it I .Aw Baseball players pass the time at an Orange County Gas Station , circa 1939. Not Just Fun and Games Anymore: Pro Sports as an Economic Development Tool by J. Barlow Herget and Mike McLaughlin 2 NORTH CAROLINA INSIGHT Local officials-armed with claims of impressive economic impact-are going to bat for professional sports franchises and single-shot sporting events like never before in North Carolina. Even state government has gotten into the act with the establishment of a Sports Development Office in the Department of Economic and Community Development.' But how much impact can sports really have on the economy of a commu- nity? The North Carolina Center for Public Policy Research explores this question and finds that the economic impact of a professional sports franchise or event can be very real. The NBA's Charlotte Hornets, for example, have been a boon to the City of Charlotte, providing substantial economic impact and enhancing the city's image. Minor league sports are more likely to have a minor impact, although they help round out a city's entertainment offerings. Local officials are advised to proceed with caution when negotiating leases with sports franchises or invest- ing funds for stadium construction. is The Charlotte Hornets are a National Basket- her staff were calling on the executive ball Association team and the only major league of an out-of-state company that the city professional sports franchise in the state of North Thewas mayor courting of Charlotte,to relocate Suein Myrick,North Caro- and Carolina.

    NORTH CAROLINA HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION BULLETIN VOL. 54, NO. 3 SPRING 2002 Sports Memorabilia Is Now On Display At North Carolina High School Athletic Association CHAPEL HILL—Visitors to the Simon F. Terrell Building of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association may be surprised that it currently may look a little less like an office and more like a sports museum. It is the result of months of work to build a collection of memorabilia, photos and other items recognizing outstanding athletes who participated in North Carolina high school athlet- ics and went on to excellent careers in the collegiate or profes- sional ranks. Charlie Adams, executive director of the NCHSAA, says that “North Carolina has a wonderful athletic tradition and we thought it would be a great thing to highlight at the state asso- ciation building. So many great athletes, coaches, administra- tors, game officials and media persons have been involved in the NCHSAA program over the years, and this is just a small way to preserve some of that heritage.” The Association contacted as many professional athletes from the state as it could, along with colleges and universities and a vast number of the state’s top high school coaches in a wide variety of sports. “The response was overwhelming,” said as the Hall for the North Carolina Athletic Directors Association. Adams. “We just didn’t dream that this many people would want “We have been very pleased with the response to our display to be a part of the display and provide these items for us.” and are always glad for people to drop in and look around,” said The walls of the NCHSAA offices are filled with pictures, Adams.

    EVERYONE’S ALL-AMERICANS: RACE, MEN’S COLLEGE ATHLETICS, AND THE IDEAL OF EQUAL OPPORTUNITY Gregory John Kaliss A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by Advisor: John F. Kasson Reader: W. Fitzhugh Brundage Reader: William Chafe Reader: Peter Filene Reader: Tim Marr © 2008 Gregory John Kaliss ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT GREGORY JOHN KALISS: Everyone’s All-Americans: Race, Men’s College Athletics, and the Ideal of Equal Opportunity (Under the direction of Professor John F. Kasson) Reactions to the integration of college sports provide a unique perspective on shifting attitudes toward race, manliness, equality, and the quest for civil rights. As previously-white institutions of higher learning gradually (and grudgingly) opened their playing fields to African-American athletes in men’s basketball and football, black and white spectators interpreted mixed-race team sports in often contradictory ways. This dissertation analyzes the public discourse that surrounded five black male pioneer athletes at predominantly white schools. It reveals the anxieties, hopes, frustrations, and triumphs of ordinary Americans on both sides of the color line as they encountered new public representations of black masculinity, negotiated the changing terms of racial identity, and reconsidered the American ideal of equal opportunity. Although often relegated to the realms of entertainment and leisure, college sports were central to discussions of fairness and equality in American life, as observers consistently employed sports metaphors, such as the “level playing field,” to discuss the ideal of equal opportunity.
