8TH ANNUAL IVY SPORTS SYMPOSIUM

FELLOWS’ REFLECTION

ON SPORT IN 2013 By Mark Burns & Tanner Simkins he year-end timing of our annual Symposium allows for reflection on the meaningful events of 2013. The year was ripe with scandals, policy changes, power shifts, investigations, and general advancements. Understanding how these events shape the sports landscape is valuable for young sports professionals. Although there were many impactful headlines, we have identified five key developments that will continue to surround the industry for years to come: injury prevention, the in-stadium experience battle, leveraging athletic success, the new era of college sports, and innovative industry extensions. Professional athletes know first-hand the toils sport takes on their body. In fact, many have been outspoken on the matter saying given their experience, they would not allow their children to play. There has been a slight decrease in youth participation as a result. Also, whether it is the wear-down of joints, bones, and cartilage, the neurologic effects of concussions, or the extensive list of other debilitations, recent findings prove more severe long-term health dangers exist than previously thought. Consequently, there is a welcomed move toward player safety and injury prevention. This is evident in the year’s new league rule changes, precautionary measures, improved equipment, and progressive therapies. This has introduced a blurred line between scientific advances in medicine and unfair performance enhancement. As these developments continue to unfold, the industry community is poised with ensuring youth sport participation, creating the ethical distinction between modern treatment and unfair performance enhancement, and of course, driving revenue wherever possible.

Considering that the career expectancy of a professional athlete is just a handful of years at best, athletes are being even more proactive regarding their postplaying careers. While it is common to see former athletes in broadcast booths or in various television roles, retired and even some current athletes have caught hold of the entrepreneurial spirit and entered

the business world. The most successful athlete businessmen and women have used their playing careers to support their ventures. Of course, business growth is possible without such leverage, but the year’s many examples of restaurants, retail stores, apparel lines, event services, and general athlete brand extensions were most profitable. In addition to a concerted focus on injury prevention, fan attendance has also weighed heavily on the minds of owners, presidents, athletic directors, and other administrators. As the cost of attending a regular season game for a family of four increases exorbitantly, fans across the nation are finding it financially difficult to attend sporting events. Additionally, with advances in high definition television, inflated ticket and concession prices, new ways to consume broadcasts via tablet or smartphone, and other reasons not to view live games, empty seats are plentiful in 2013. To counteract this, teams and leagues have innovated and expanded marketing initiatives to attract fans and maximize the total game day and in-stadium experience. Some efforts include increasing wireless services and overall data access standards, digital and paperless ticketing, loyalty rewards’ programs, exclusive non-televised events and shows, and other incentives. Teams are also forced to identify future revenue streams around these expansions. The battle between at home and in-stadium sport consumption will continue to rage on and as result, teams will continue to adapt accordingly. Given the year’s conference realignment, class-action lawsuits, pay-to-play scandals, NCAA investigations, record television deals, proposed post-season tournament changes, and other relevant news, there is an immeasurable amount of strain between the seemingly antiquated model of college athletics and the commercialism it now represents. A new era is coming whether we are ready or not. The coming years will redefine the entire college athletic organization and structure. We find it important that the shapers keep learning experiences, gender equity and equality, diversity issues, conference and student-athlete rights, intellectual property, consistent standards, and best business practices all as priorities. A common theme throughout all of these trends is adjustment. Discoveries have peeled away the old guard of sports business and echoed in never before seen challenges and opportunities. The next wave of sports professionals will be continually linked to the changing industry. Embracing change, adapting when necessary, cultural literacy, and creative innovation are essential takeaways as we continue to pioneer the space. In closing, we suggest to be openminded, transparent, and committed to all stakeholders involved, and in turn, the industry and allied businesses will evolve fittingly.

As a result, the terms of each agreement help shape the operating decisions of leagues, players unions and others. How do those involved in the negotiation process establish the proper balance between promoting competitive parity and ensuring economic prosperity? How can the two sides work together following contentious negotiations? And how do teams work within—or outside—the terms of a CBA to produce the best possible product?

Where the Best Come for the Best

Advancement in technology and the proliferation of integrated channels have vastly expanded the reach of sports marketers, but have also made complex event-and experience-based activation strategies necessary to remain competitive in a crowded sponsorship marketplace. These platforms give birth to new challenges, but also present opportunities for those able to develop innovative campaigns. What are the best ways to leverage the increased interactivity of the modern sports world to grow a brand? How can social media and new technologies help properties activate at events and maximize their endorsement value? Which companies, leagues, and teams are leading the way, and what can be learned from them?
