Rich MonettiPublished 3 months ago in UnbalancedFootball Reigns Supreme in the Sports Business…But for How Long?
Introduction The Super Bowl is almost, in effect, a national holiday today! The National Football League (NFL) reigns supreme in terms of every metric in the world of sports, from television audiences to revenue! The biggest NFL stars - from Patrick Mahomes to a guy who happens to be dating Taylor Swift (Travis Kelce) are not just football stars, but they are major celebrities and media powers today. But today, college football is also a huge revenue-producing machine, with its huge TV ratings, intense fan interest and support, and yes, with “student-athletes” today able to earn money for themselves - big money in many instances - from NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals. And even high school football is getting into the act, with nationally televised games on ESPN and high school athletes having their own NIL deals before they ever set foot on a college campus.
