Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Business of Sports
Scott Rosner · 2004
74/100
👍 Worth It
As a first comprehensive anthology for sports business education, this textbook still earns its place on course syllabi for its sheer scope — covering management, law, finance, ethics, and marketing across professional, collegiate, and Olympic sports in one volume. The data is dated, but the structural frameworks and chapter introductions remain pedagogically sound for university-level instruction.
