College Football Playoff

The College Football Playoff, this was the most anticipated moment in all of college sports this year. With the new rules and playoff system to see who is the true national champion of college football, revenues for the games were sky high this year. 

With 2 semi final games being playing before the big game or the national championship game there is a lot of money to be accounted for. With waxh team playing a huge playoff game, ticket sales and revenue for the schools were crazy. With the 4 teams playing in the semi final game, over 3,000 tickets were given to each university for free to give to the student body. For the championship game, only 1,000 tickets were given to each of the schools. That means over 96% of the original tickets were still for sale, for all these games combined. That's a lot of profit for the stadiums hosting the games and the schools. 

Like Cardale Jones (sophomore quaterbqck of Ohio State) said "We're here to play football, not to go to class. We can to play football. Not play school." He said this before the National Championship. Well they sure do bring in a lot of money. So I'm some aspects he is right. The school only focuses on how much money they are goning to make out of this game or situation. 

KD Picks Nike.

  Kevin Durant, one of the NBA's all star players was recently in the news for his shoe deal with Nike. This may not seem like such a big deal to most of you but, to the basketball world and the world of fashion it is. Kevin Durant has a leading line of shoes for Nike. They are trade marked at the KD's. Recently his contract ran out with Nike and Kevin was faced with a decision that could change the game for a long time. 

Under Armour another sports company took a long shot at offering KD a shoe deal. With Under Armour 2nd in the U.S. in sporting apparel sales behind Nike, Under Armour could've shaken up the would of sports apparel. With a 70 million dollar offer, it was certain KD would leave Nike. 

But in the end KD stayed true to Nike and released the KD V over the fall and released the KD V Christmas edition before the holidays. These sales were through the roof due to the fact that's this show has been acclaimed to be the best KD sneaker ever released.
