Swot Analysis of Nfl Digital Media Case
SWOT ANALYSIS 1. Pursue An Exclusive Partnership With One Wireless Carrier—this is the approach that the NFL previously chose in 2005 with Sprint. The deal was valued at $500 million plus $50 million annually to be the NFL’s exclusive wireless partner and an additional $50 million earmarked for NFL-related advertising and promotion.

* Strengths—an exclusive relationship with Sprint provides a more intimate B2B relationship. Sprint would be willing to pay a premium for the NFL’s brand name and services. They would benefit by being the official sponsor of the NFL. An exclusive partnership would involve higher levels of trust between the two companies than non-exclusive partnerships. * Weaknesses—over 70% of Americans identify themselves as fans of the NFL. In addition, the NFL is generates $8 billion annually, making it one of the most successful entertainment properties in the world. By choosing Sprint as an exclusive partner, you are leaving out a large number of NFL fans who could be potentially interested in digital media services. An exclusive partnership with Verizon, the market share leader of wireless carriers, would exclude roughly 67% of the market. * Opportunities—the NFL’s digital media group could strike a new deal with Sprint or another wireless provider. They would strike a higher contract than before because their digital services have proved popular and profitable. * Threats—An exclusive partnership will make one wireless carrier very happy, but upset the rest. This could lead to hostile business relationships in the future. The NFL needs to be careful of turning potential business customers away. 2. Form Non-Exclusive Partnerships With Multiple Wireless Carriers—this would give each carrier the right to carry NFL content on mobile phones, but no one company has the exclusive right to do so. The NFL’s current television contracts have been non-exclusive in the past and have proven highly successful. *

    Why Sports Teams Move and Cities Fight to Keep Them

    Some of the most prolific franchises in sports, like the Oakland Raiders and Baltimore Colts of the National Football League, have moved to other cities breaking off their loyalty to the hometown fans. More important than the actual moves are the more frequent threatened moves. When teams "play the field" and explore the option of playing in other cities they are able to lure interested cities into giving them just about any royalty they want. New stadiums are only the beginning. The willingness to threaten departure has secured for teams a variety of land deals, lower taxes, more revenues from parking and concessions, control of stadium operations, guaranteed ticket sales, renovation of stadiums with luxury seating, control over…

    Nfl History

    Revenue sharing is what made the NFL a powerful and economically successful sports business model for these times. The then commissioner Pete Rozelle persuaded NFL governors to share the greater part of their revenues equally. With this method there wasn't much in it for big-market teams, but by agreeing to the system of socialism and by protecting the competitiveness of small-market teams such as Green Bay, they built the idea for the great commercial power it has become. Revenue sharing was a brilliant idea because it worked. It succeeded because network television sports were growing fast and massive; also football games were perfect TV property. Unlike baseball and basketball, football teams play once a week and this opened up the opportunity to turn each game into an event. National broadcasts contracts, divided equally without considering to market size, became the NFL'S vital source of revenue. Currently the NFL is carrying out a funded revenue program to help protect its small market franchises. The league already shares certain revenues but this new program would allow small market franchises to get money from an additional pool funded mostly by top revenue-generating teams. Other reasons why revenue sharing works is because NFL…

    History Of The Nfl Superbowl

    The NFL and CBS agreed to broadcast rights in 1961. But also in 1961, Congress passed the Sports Broadcasting Act, which permitted leagues to act as cartels in the negotiation and sale of their broadcast rights. This led the NFL to make arrangements, which all networks got some games at some times. When the broadcast rights were sold on a club to club basis, fans got the chance to see their local teams' away games. It bought a new dimension to the avid sports watcher that has never been seen before in the professional football league.…
