The University of North Carolina is obviously concerned about its future and its image, in wake of the academic investigation that has rocked the school and its athletic department over courses that were taken by students, not to be considered good academics.
Up to now, UNC has paid the public relations firm Edelman, which happens to be the largest PR firm in the world, just over $782,000 to protect its image and beyond.
Seems like a lot of money, what is your opinion on this issue?

Crawford's Sports Biz 59, For October 29th, 2104
By Gregory Crawford----COO of Kiyokawa Crawford Sports Management--- on twitter @crawssportsbiz @wchoops @kcsportsmgmt
We all know college athletics is a big huge economic business. The "old, new" buzz word coming back to college athletics is "school spirit". Many schools are discouraged and disappointed by the lack of student attendance and students leaving games in droves early.
Some solutions are better technology in arenas and stadiums to allow more social media interaction. As well, some old ideas are coming back including free food for students and at TCU, student leaders standing on ladders to encourage in- game participation by the student body.

Crawford's Sports Biz 59 Seconds, For October 28th, 2014

In 2013, shortly after Alabama won the national football championship, The Crimson Tide Foundation purchased the 8,700 square foot home that Nick Saban has lived in since 2007 for $3.1 million. The big story here is that the Foundation purchase allows for Saban to live in the home free of charge and also pays the property taxes for as long as Saban wants.
While this is a common practice among schools for college presidents, it rarely happens for the football coach. Saban is a huge figure in Alabama and Alabama football.

Arizona State University is terminating its multimedia agreement with IMG College. The present agreement is for football, men's and women's basketball and baseball.
IMG College presents the games on radio for ASU and ASU is claiming they have been damaged by the lack of presence in the Las Vegas and Southern California markets.
This dispute, will more than likely wind up in the courts, as big money is involved.
