Superbowl fun facts from Aaron's class

Aaron Kolodny's notes from Professor, John Rollins, Managing Sports Business class. Seems like a great class!

The projected Super Bowl revenue is approximately $620 Million with media broadcast revenue accounting for $375 Million and each 30 second commercial costs approximately $5 Million with a one-minute advertisement costing approximately $9 Million.

This event is a financial boom and a logistical nightmare for local economies. What once was just a football game has turned into a marketing fiasco.

It is estimated that over 200 Million will watch the game this February.

The Super Bowl now consists of 10 days of activities: parties, concerts, receptions, a fan village, media day, appearances by players and celebrities and more.

Companies and sponsors spend millions to be associated with the Super Bowl and in conjunction help build and enhance the Super Bowl brand.Moreover, the Super Bowl is a solid economic impetus for the host city with companies putting together weeklong entertainment packages for their clients with lavish perks.

The NFL has something unique that ultimately everyone wants to be a part of and price is not a deterrent.

Here's to a great game this weekend!

SPS Prof Richard A. Montanaro: Covid-19 resume gaps will become commonplace, yet still need explaining

Richard A. Montanaro: Covid-19 resume gaps will become commonplace, yet still need explaining As posted on Westchester & Fairfield County Business Journals January 4, 2021 By School of Professional Studies Professor Richard A. Montanaro B inge watching Netflix is not a valid explanation for gaps in your resume. While a prospective employer may understand, and even sympathize with an unexplained period of inactivity in your employment, you will need to put a positive spin on these gaps even given the pandemic. As an HR practitioner who has overseen the hiring process for over a thousand applicants during my career, I can say that it’s not uncommon for there to be employment gaps: periods without employment during a professional career. Given the pandemic, business downturn and related organizational downsizing, these gaps may be more prevalent now. Yet, regardless of the difficult times organizations and individuals are facing, gaps in employment and how to best represent them rema

2020 Sports...It's a Wrap!

On the Eve of 2021 SPS Professor Dave Torromeo Posted on Latin Business Today. As we approach the end of 2020—one of the strangest years known to mankind—we once again turn our attention to the things that make us happy, the things that bring us joy in the face of sadness and despair: live sporting events. We know the leagues and TV broadcast partners are happy, or maybe relieved? While the world tries to return to normal, we can be grateful that sports, although different, have at least given us an outlet. That is what sports have always done—provided us with a release! That is why when people attend or tune into a sports event they do not want to be reminded of their problems, politics, or other incendiary touch point issues. The sports world continues to roll on, albeit with various of stops and starts due to COVID-19. Teams are affected or infected, and then games are postponed or canceled. However, let us focus on the positives as we have live sporting events almost every day and
