Prompt: Answer both questions below, providing as much specific detail as possible and sources to back up your statements (APA format). The answers should be well thought out and in your own words.
1. Consider the Foster et al. (2006) financial drivers of professional sport clubs (Document Financial Sustainability included with the exam). Choose one sport team (your choice) and analyze the organization using each of the six factors.
2. The National Basketball Association (NBA) season is underway, and the Indiana Pacers have one of the lowest attendance in the NBA (http://www.espn.com/nba/attendanceLinks to an external site.). Using the knowledge you learned this semester, discuss three realistic, specific ways to help the Pacers raise their attendance (must include specific financial advice) to the ownership of the Indiana Pacers for this season.
Do not recommend obtaining a player unless you can make it a realistic scenario, including the player wanting to play for the Pacers.
All your recommendations need to be supported by data.
Do not be generic or vague. Examples: The team already has a social media account, and they already offer group ticket discounts, which is obviously not working.
Your grade will depend on critical thought and using techniques you learned this semester.
