<br>
After yet another contentious collective bargaining process, the NBA season is finally underway.  In watching the games this year, Brandon Jennings (a stand-out guard on the Milwaukee Bucks) and his journey to the NBA comes to mind and makes me wonder if the NBA eligibility rules and the recent collective bargaining process will make overseas professional basketball a more attractive option than college for high school players going forward. ]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[ Over the last twenty years there has been a concerted effort by the haves in college sports to redirect as much revenue as possible to themselves. This effort was best characterized by Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany in his use of the word “equity” to rationalize why he believed that the schools and conferences that had invested the most in college sports should reap a greater share of the revenue that flowed from that investment. With the massive growth in media rights fees over the years, this philosophical approach has produced significant disparity between the resources available to the equity conferences and all other conferences. ]]></description>

Then, in Part III we took a closer look at correlations for attendance performance over the past three seasons (2010-2008).
