Volleyball Ireland’s Post

In digital sports, I could see a coed model may work, but not in football, tennis, swimming, or golf. The difference in golf swing is dramatic. #sports #sportsperformance #athletictraining https://lnkd.in/eYG8r8sx

This is great and interesting data but I found myself thinking it was a little difficult to elicit my intended takeaway due to the chosen visual. Visuals can facilitate ease of understanding and draw the audience to the takeaway Naturally, I wanted to compare how the different revenue sources vary between leagues but multiple pie charts spread vertically make it a little cumbersome. I would have preferred stacked bar charts with the league on the x axis and revenue % on the Y axis (colored by revenue source). This would have more easily facilitated cross league comparisons on a straight horizontal visual path.

🎮🏈 So many opportunities for sports and their revenue drivers. One example is the release of EA’s College Football 25 is a game-changer for sports revenue! Video games and their digital nature are transforming how we engage with sports, driving new digital revenue streams in exciting ways. They enhance fan engagement by immersing us in the action, attracting younger audiences who become lifelong fans, and extending American sports' reach globally. Plus, they offer fantastic cross-promotional opportunities and provide data-driven insights to tailor marketing strategies. The intersection of sports and gaming is a powerhouse of growth. Let's embrace this digital revolution and take the sports industry to new heights! #SportsIndustry #EASports #CollegeFootball25 #FanEngagement

I love this breakdown of 4 of the big 5 leagues in the USA (MLS wasn’t listed…but is growing fast!). Thanks for sharing Andrew!!! ————— Here’s the deal. This was, and remains, a central point in many debates I’ve had about why my cherished sport of basketball in France 🇫🇷, is so anemic in terms of revenue and business opportunities?! Simply put, it’s the lack of brand value and recognition. Then there’s the non existent Media / TV Rights (bad history of bad decisions, bad blood, etc.). Therefore, no brand value (or very little), hence no leverage for premium Media Rights. But Times Are A-Chang’n! Will the steady flow of talent to the NBA, past and present, returning to invest in the sport, eventually change this tragic circumstance ? Few people know that France is the second oldest country on the planet to recognise and play the game of basketball (1893, Rue de Trévise, Paris). So why the lag time in talent, business and growth around the game 🤔?! I’d love to get into it now, BOY would I love that. But, saying it’s complicated would be a grave injustice and understatement to all that have, and are affected, by this specific legacy. I promise everyone reading this, I’ll get into it, in detail. To start, follow my hashtag #hubertsodessy to catch up on past posts about my journey, then you’ll be ready to hear the rest of the story… #hubertsodessy #smwwglobalambassador #frenchbasketball #frenchyouthbasketball #nbafrance #frenchsports #smbgeducation #sportsmanagement

US sport leagues make money through various revenue streams, including: 1. Broadcasting rights: Leagues sell the rights to broadcast their games on television and online platforms to networks and streaming services. 2. Ticket sales: Revenue generated from selling tickets to games, including regular season games, playoffs, and championships. 3. Merchandise sales: Fans purchase team merchandise such as jerseys, hats, and other apparel, contributing to the league's revenue. 4. Sponsorships: Leagues partner with sponsors and advertisers who pay to have their brands promoted during games and events. 5. Licensing and royalties: Leagues earn money by licensing their branding and logos for use on products such as video games, apparel, and collectibles. 6. Concessions and food sales: Revenue generated from sales of food and beverages at stadiums and arenas during games. 7. Corporate partnerships: Leagues form partnerships with corporations for promotional opportunities and marketing initiatives. These are some of the key ways US sport leagues generate revenue to sustain their operations and grow their businesses.

It's interesting to see how sports leagues make money... Take a look at this chart: 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗙𝗟 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗹𝘆 "𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀" 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻, 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗛𝗟 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗹𝘆 "𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁" 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻. I'd be curious to see these charts for emerging sports properties: 🏟️ • UFC, PBR, PFL, Pickleball, Beach Volleyball, PLL, American Cornhole League, Major League Rugby, Slamball, Surfing, etc

Update: The RFU has approved the structure of the Premiership and Championship for next season. Promotion/relegation will be subject to a two-legged play-off between the Premiership’s lowest team and the Championship winners, provided that the Championship winners meet the necessary Minimum Standards Criteria. In other words, the status quo will remain. Many had hoped for a revitalised, streamlined second tier to stimulate commercial growth, but this has not materialised, seemingly after opposition from some Championship clubs. This therefore feels a missed opportunity. But it was clear that the reported lack of engagement from the RFU and Premiership with the Championship clubs was always going to make meaningful change difficult. So where does this leave English club rugby? It is not clear that this news will stimulate significant investment into the Championship, but it does at least guarantee the existence of the current Championship clubs and maintains a route through to the top tier. But, as the past decade has shown, this matters little if there is no meaningful investment into the second tier and if there remain significant barriers to entry to the Premiership (a relegation play-off system is already in place but the Championship winners haven’t met the Minimum Standards Criteria, so no play-off has taken place). The same old questions over the levels of funding for the Championship, the Minimum Standards Criteria and the sustainability of a second professional league will therefore continue to plague the game, as they have done for the past decade. Talks are ongoing about the make-up of the Championship, and there will be hope for an improved funding package. But the incongruence of the overlap between the professional and amateur games will seemingly remain, leaving us all to ponder whether a commercially viable professional second division will ever evolve… Let me know what you think. Am I missing something? #sportslaw #rugby #englandrugby https://lnkd.in/ecfAhybP
