  • Valuation of NFL Franchises
    Valuation of NFL Franchises Author: Sam Hill Advisor: Connel Fullenkamp Acknowledgement: Samuel Veraldi Honors thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Graduation with Distinction in Economics in Trinity College of Duke University Duke University Durham, North Carolina April 2010 1 Abstract This thesis will focus on the valuation of American professional sports teams, specifically teams in the National Football League (NFL). Its first goal is to analyze the growth rates in the prices paid for NFL teams throughout the history of the league. Second, it will analyze the determinants of franchise value, as represented by transactions involving NFL teams, using a simple ordinary-least-squares regression. It also creates a substantial data set that can provide a basis for future research. 2 Introduction This thesis will focus on the valuation of American professional sports teams, specifically teams in the National Football League (NFL). The finances of the NFL are unparalleled in all of professional sports. According to popular annual rankings published by Forbes Magazine (http://www.Forbes.com/2009/01/13/nfl-cowboys-yankees-biz-media- cx_tvr_0113values.html), NFL teams account for six of the world’s ten most valuable sports franchises, and the NFL is the only league in the world with an average team enterprise value of over $1 billion. In 2008, the combined revenue of the league’s 32 teams was approximately $7.6 billion, the majority of which came from the league’s television deals. Its other primary revenue sources include ticket sales, merchandise sales, and corporate sponsorships. The NFL is also known as the most popular professional sports league in the United States, and it has been at the forefront of innovation in the business of sports.

  • The Next 30 Years of Provender: from Natural/Organic to Sustainable/Locali
    The Next 30 Years of Provender: From Natural/Organic to Sustainable/Locali John Ikerdii I am pleased be invited back to speak to you by the Provender Alliance. I am particularly honored that you have asked me to speak at your 30th anniversary conference. I first heard of your organization shortly after I became involved with the sustainable agriculture movement, almost 20 years ago. However, I didn't appreciate just how long it had been around. I am not here to speak to you as an expert in natural foods marketing, as you all certainly know far more about your day-to-day business that I do. I will talk a good bit about the general history and trends in natural foods, but I plan to focus my remarks on how I see your business fitting into the larger sustainable agriculture movement, of which I believe natural foods have been and will continue to be an important part. Most important, I want to focus on those trends most likely to shape the next 30 years of Provender. The American food market is dynamic and ever changing, and with each change, comes both challenges and opportunities. The natural foods market is no exception. The growing popularity of natural foods during the 1970s and 1980s laid the foundation for a booming organic foods market during the 1990s. By the early ‘90s, growing public concerns about food safety, nutrition, and health had sparked dramatic growth in the market for organic foods. Certified organic foods seemed to satisfy food buyers' desire for a more precise definition and standards for natural foods.

  • The Mad Scientist NFL History 101: the Trade
    The Mad Scientist NFL History 101: The Trade Author : My name is Nick Ficorelli. I am known as "The Mad Scientist of Sports" in the independent sports talk radio world. I am also a huge Minnesota Vikings fan, and I have been asked many times about "The Trade". I could only tell people what happened, but could not tell people the whole history of the deal. After watching the 30 for 30 Short by ESPN, "The Great Trade Robbery", I decided to delve into it further, and well, let's just say it caused the rise of one franchise, and the decimation of another. It was the largest player trade in NFL history, and below is the complete breakdown of the whole deal from start to finish. The Trade took place on October 12, 1989 (can't believe it is 26 years ago, still stings as if it was only yesterday). Believing the Vikings to be only a big-time RB away from winning it all, then Vikings GM Mike Lynn acquired Herschel Walker from the Cowboys and new owner Jerry Jones and new coach Jimmy Johnson for 5 roster players (LB Jesse Solomon, DB Issiac Holt, RB Darrin Nelson, LB David Howard, DE Alex Stewart), and 6 assorted draft picks (conditional 1st & 2nd round in '90 and '91; 1st round and conditional 3rd in '92). Nelson, upset at being traded, refused to report to the Cowboys and was traded to the San Diego Chargers, ultimately returning to the Vikings. The result of the trade to San Diego was the Vikings sending a 6th round pick in 1990 and the original conditional 2nd round pick in 1991, and the Chargers sending their 5th round pick in 1990 to Minnesota via Dallas.

Results remain to be seen from the large-scale supermarket, convenience, and home meal replacement (HMR) subsectors in which U.S. Agriculture enjoys comparative advantages. These subsectors demonstrated substantial growth in 1998 despite stagnation of the overall supermarket sector and general recession. 1998 retail sales in Japan’s retail food sector reached nearly $380 billion. Large-scale supermarket food sales rose 5.4% nationwide in 1998, with key regions registering as high as 17% growth. HMR sales gained 3.5%, with some national retailers registering as high as 7% growth in HMR. ATO Tokyo expects an eventual slowdown in these subsectors, as new store openings taper due to the official one-year moratorium on new stores which commenced June 2000. Large-scale supermarket chains are streamlining distribution, while seeking direct overseas private label sources. Processors with entrenched domestic and third-country sources are tying in closely with top retailers, applying "efficient consumer response" systems, potentially locking U.S. suppliers out long-term, absent an aggressive and immediate marketing response.
