Franchise Management
League
Constitution
The student franchise
owners must write a league constitution. They must decide how to initially
share league revenue and how to make adjustments to this agreement later in
the season. Franchise owners must also decide whether they wish to implement
a cap on payrolls. Franchise owners will report this agreement to the
commissioner before the season begins.
The student franchise
owners must decide how revenue will be shared in the league. The teams
determine how broadcast revenue, ticket revenue, concessions revenue, and
merchandise revenue will be shared among franchise owners. Because teams are
located in markets with varying degrees of attendance and television draws,
the owners must decide how to fairly distribute revenue. Students may
discuss the differences between the National Football League and Major
League Baseball. The teams discuss revenue sharing alternatives and salary
caps, and they illustrate their implications on competitive balance in the
league.
