    Journal of Sport Administration & Supervision RESEARCH THAT MATTERS! THE RELATIONSHIP OF FANTASY FOOTBALL PARTICIPATION WITH NFL TELEVISION RATINGS John A. Fortunato, Ph. D. Fordham University School of Business, Area of Communication & Media Management 113 West 60th Street, 6th Floor New York, NY 10023 Mail to: [email protected] (212) 636-6161 Research Problem The purpose of this study is to examine whether fantasy football participation can serve as an additional motivating factor for fans to watch National Football League (NFL) games on television. This research uses the prime-time games on NBC and ESPN from the 2009 NFL season and reveals some evidence that there is a relationship between NFL players starting in a high percentage of fantasy leagues for that particular week and the television rating for that particular game. Games with more NFL players starting in a high percentage of fans’ fantasy football leagues do have a positive relationship with that game’s television rating in certain circumstances. This study attempts to address two concerns of scholars: the continued study of audience motivations for mass media use and the need for a more extensive examination into the influence of fantasy sports. From a practitioner perspective, this research is useful to networks and leagues in better understanding the influence of fantasy sports as well as assisting in creating the game programming schedule. Issue An estimated 30 million people participate in fantasy football leagues and according to Nielsen Media Research more than 1.2 billion minutes were spent on fantasy websites in 2008, yet little academic research has been conducted on this topic.

    2015 UCLA FOOTBALL JIM MORA Head Coach 4th Season Washington '84 On December 10, 2011, former Atlanta Falcons and Seattle Seahawks head coach Jim Mora was named UCLA's 17th head coach in school history. In 2014, Coach Mora guided the Bruins to the ninth 10-win season in school his- tory, matching the school record for wins in a season. It marked the third straight year in which Mora's Bruins had produced at least nine wins, a À rst in program history. His 29 total wins are the most-ever by a UCLA coach in his initial three seasons on the job. Following the victory in the 2015 Alamo Bowl, UCLA had captured wins in 10 straight games away from the Rose Bowl to tie that school record, including a school-best 7-0 slate in 2014. That win was also the team's third over teams ranked among the Associated Press' Top 15 at the time of the contest, which was the most by the program since it defeated four such teams in 1952. The Bruins capped off the season ranked No. 10 in the À nal AP poll which was the highest for the program since 1998. Linebacker Eric Kendricks, who became the school's all-time leading tackler during the 2014 season, went on to be UCLA's À rst recipient of the Butkus Award and the À nished no lower than fourth in the NFL versus the run and in 2003, produced 42 second-straight winner of the Lott IMPACT Trophy. Quarterback Brett Hundley set sacks, to tie for second in the conference.
