WELCOME

Greetings: On behalf of the Ivy Sports Symposium Planning Committee and Advisory Committee, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 6th annual Ivy Sports Symposium. Today marks a milestone in the history of the event. This year’s installment is the first to be held at an Ivy League campus other than Princeton’s, and we are proud to begin this new chapter at Penn. To the over 200 students from more than 30 colleges and universities who travelled thousands of miles to attend today’s Symposium, we urge you to take advantage of this opportunity to learn from and connect with some of the most accomplished professionals in our industry. To the over 250 professionals, including more than 80 speakers, who took time out of your busy schedules to be with us today, we hope you are able to maximize your Symposium experience by networking with peers and speaking with students. As always, your time and support are greatly appreciated. This event would not be possible without the generosity of the Wharton Sports Business Initiative as well as our many sponsors, partners and supporters. We would also like to thank the University of Pennsylvania and the Wharton Undergraduate Division for their support in making the 6th annual Ivy Sports Symposium an overwhelming success. Warmly,

Royce Cohen (Penn ’12) President, Undergraduate Sports Business Club University of Pennsylvania

WELCOME

Friends: On behalf of the Wharton Sports Business Initiative, the Wharton School and the University of Pennsylvania, welcome to our campus and welcome to the 6th annual Ivy Sports Symposium. We are proud to host this evolving Ivy League tradition. The Wharton Sports Business Initiative (WSBI) provides the umbrella at Wharton for multiple sports business activities, including events and research, that focus on optimizing the industry. As you attend panels today, we encourage you to think beyond the dollars and cents of the business. Since the beginning of WSBI, one of the structural pillars for us has been to be focused on the social impact possibilities for sport, consistent with the Wharton School’s overall focus on social impact. This area has received a reinvigorated focus with Brazil and South Africa hosting global sporting events, and a recent high profile Sports Illustrated article, “Sports Saves the World.” When I worked for Peter Ueberroth leading up to the 1984 Olympic Games, he was fond of the Winston Churchill quote, which we feature on the WSBI website: “Some see private enterprise as a predatory target to be shot, others as a cow to be milked, but few are those who see it as a sturdy horse pulling the wagon.” I use this quote to inform students wanting to use sport to save the world that working with a for-profit business does not mean you can’t be involved nor instrumental in the “save the world with sports” efforts. While you are here, please do not hesitate to let us know how we might help you make the best use of your time. We also welcome any thoughts you might have on the Wharton Sports Business Initiative’s work. Sincerely,

Kenneth Shropshire (Columbia JD ’80) David W. Hauck Professor, and Professor of Legal Studies and Business Ethics, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania Faculty Director, Wharton Sports Business Initiative

O P E N I N G K E Y N O T E R O U N D TA B L E : T H E G L O B A L D E B AT E Auditorium G06 From the NBA’s immense popularity in Asia to America’s growing fascination with the Premier League, sports have become a truly global business. How has the industry changed in response to this development? What can the US market teach its counterparts on a global scale, and what can it learn? Where are unique investment opportunities domestically and internationally? Will China and the other BRIC nations continue to dominate the discussion about the international future of sports? As each sport looks to make its mark on the world stage, which factors set clubs, franchises, teams and leagues apart from the competition?

1 A M A R K E T I N G & S P O N S O R S H I P S : P R O P E R T I E S TA L K Room F85 Not long ago, sponsorships simply involved a logo on a stadium or arena board and numbers on a balance sheet. Yet, in recent years, the market has changed beyond recognition. Unprecedented demands have been placed on sports marketers to deliver greater returns on investments, while properties are being asked to be more creative and flexible. In an age of activation, experiential marketing and a constant search for value, what differentiates a good sponsorship from a bad sponsorship?

Moderator: Terry Lefton, Editor-at-Large, SportsBusiness Daily, and Reporter, SportsBusiness Journal, Street & Smith’s Sports Gorup Paul Barber, Chief Executive Officer, Vancouver Whitecaps FC Chris Flannery, President, Sports, Entertainment & Lifestyle Advisory Mark Waller, Chief Marketing Officer, National Football League

10:15AM - 11:15AM

1B MEDIA & TECHNOLOGY I Room 245 Sports across the world rely heavily on television revenues, but the media landscape is drastically changing before our very eyes. With internet protocol television, mobile devices, streaming, the promise of 3D technology, and more, the media market is becoming increasingly fragmented and difficult to predict. Where will the next technological innovation come from? Which outlet(s) are on their way out? Will networks continue to pay top dollar for properties unable to command the attention of their traditional audiences? How will properties protect their rights-holders from a growing army of pirates?

AGENDA 10:15AM - 11:15AM

1 C S P O R T S & S O C I A L I M PAC T Room 255 The influence of sports stretches beyond the lines on a field or the walls of an arena. In what ways can sports aid in eliminating discrimination, hate and violence, while creating lasting solutions and promoting healthy development and social responsibility? Do athletes, teams, leagues and corporate sponsors have a responsibility to contribute to society at both a local and global level? This session will examine the altruistic and strategic importance of philanthropic causes as well as the long-term benefits to the sports spectrum and its members.

2 A L A B O R R E L AT I O N S Room F85 The NBA followed the NFL into a lockout this year, marking only the second time two domestic major leagues were simultaneously shut down by labor disputes. The stakes are high, the issues are complex and the immediate and future prosperity of many teams and leagues hangs in the balance. We will discuss the state of labor relations and hear from those who are or have been at the bargaining tables. Is the future one of player power, or will the clubs and leagues take control?

Moderator: Gregg Clifton (Harvard ’82), Partner, Jackson Lewis LLP Hal Biagas, Executive Vice President, Management, Wasserman Media Group, LLC Michael Copeland, Chief Operating Officer, Canadian Football League David Feher, Partner, Dewey & LeBeouf LLP

11:30AM - 12:30PM

2B MARKETING & MEDIA Room 245 Marketing strategies must be flexible in order to adapt to shifts in the media landscape. The viewing experience for fans is continually changing, requiring changes in the ways content is delivered and consumed. As a result, companies must find new and unique ways to target consumers and deliver messages. A panel of experts will discuss the current and future media landscape, as well as its lasting impact on sports marketers. Will elite events such as the Super Bowl move further away from lower-profile properties?

2 C V E N U E S & S TA D I U M S Room 255 Venues and stadiums are adapting to the new economic times. With more venues being built for both individual teams and major events than ever before, watchwords such as “legacy” and “sustainability” are becoming prevalent. Older venues are struggling to fund major renovations and increase profitability while stadiums such as the MetLife Stadium and Nationals Park are setting new benchmarks in terms of environmental impact. Can and should the rest of the industry follow in their footsteps? How do you balance the fan experience with environmental sustainability?

3 A M A R K E T I N G & S P O N S O R S H I P S : A G E N C I E S TA L K Room F85 The confluence of the recession has had major implications for sports marketers. Companies are tightening their marketing budgets while simultaneously demanding that marketers find new ways to connect with fans. It has become a competitive necessity to develop unique initiatives that deliver the greatest value, whether by working more closely with partners to reach local consumers or launching global, culturally-aware campaigns. This session will examine some of the industry’s more innovative ideas, including how marketers are utilizing social media and other non-traditional platforms.

3 C C O L L E G E AT H L E T I C S Room 255 The fundamental objectives of college athletics programs are seemingly straightforward: Run a fiscally sound program with a strong value system that best serves all student athletes. However, the abundant and complex issues that leaders on the university and conference level face on a day-to-day basis are constantly challenging these principles. This panel will explore topics such as the challenge of true amateurism and talent development and new ways to increase revenues, as well as discuss how major recent scandals may affect the future of the NCAA.

An athlete is a brand, and thus sports agents no longer limit their services to negotiating player contracts, but also creatively seek new opportunities to generate revenue for their clients. How will agents continue to find better ways to position their clients in an extremely cluttered advertising environment? What steps are agents taking to protect their clients’ public images in a world of social networking and instant communication? How do labor disputes impact individual players?

4B MARKETING & SPONSORSHIPS: BRAND FOCUS Room 245 With the recent economic downturn and its impact on consumer behavior and spending, brand marketers are under more pressure than ever to develop marketing platforms that will produce considerable returns on their investments. Marketing and sponsorships continue to provide measurable benefit to many organizations’ corporate marketing strategies, but brands demand that their partners be more aware of the brand side business goals during contract negotiations and beyond. What are the dramatic changes in how brands are now doing business in sports to deliver their objectives?
