SBLR-5050 : Financing Sport Organizations

After successful completion of this course, students will understand the financing of sport organizations from a 'triple bottom line' sustainability approach. Specifically, they will be able to calculate profits and losses for sport organizations; track and graph financial trends of revenues and expenses; analyze revenues after factoring in inflation costs to determine adjusted profits or losses; and determine, evaluate, and report causes for trends and anomalies in the above. Students will be able to analyze financial value of sport franchises; evaluate revenue categories to determine viability; analyze and discuss impact of collective bargaining agreements on financial value of franchises; and discuss environmental and social impacts of financial decisions.
