www.dunkadelic.net WALL STREET FORTUNE 500 AND PHAT 5 OF COLLEGE BASKETBALL WILL SHARE HISTORICAL NUMBER OF 500 FOR THE 2006-07 SEASON
Top 5 college basketball programs of All-Time; Kentucky, N.Carolina, UCLA, Kansas, and Duke will celebrate 500 years of combined play and make sports/sports business history.
Baltimore, MD (BlackNews.com) - Big-time sports in America has the reputation for producing instant millionaires from Michael Jordan to Tiger Woods from Shaquille O'Neal to LeBron James. They grace the covers of magazines, and endorse various products that include sneakers, electronics, cars, fast food chains, and soft drinks. Companies that are on the fortune 500 list lure these stars of sport and compensate them with multi-million dollar endorsement deals.
Footwear giant Nike has given deals to Jordan, Woods, and James that are more lucrative than their team, and money earnings from the sport that they play. When a fan attends a major sporting event they enter a stadium or arena that has a fortune 500 company name on the front of it, (Pepsi Center, Staples Center, Fed Ex Field, Ford Field, American Airlines Arena, etc. etc.). Once in the building there are more Fortune 500 companies that advertise on the scoreboards and walkways.
Big-Time sports in America is a multi-billion dollar cash cow that will see the 5 best college basketball programs in division 1 history celebrate that special number of 500 as in 500 years of combined basketball play.
If the Phat 5 of College Basketball, Kentucky, N. Carolina, UCLA, Kansas, and Duke were an investment portfolio the investors would be able to retire and live the life of luxury. Their rich and storied traditions can compare to some of the famous family names of business like the Carnegies, Mellons, DuPonts, Vanderbilts, Fords, Gates, and Rockefellers. These names are institutions in American business just as the Phat 5 is the institution of college basketball. They are linked to winning just as these famous names are linked to Wall Street.
Sports and sports business is one in the same, just ask Terrell Owens. How many Fortune 500 companies will get in line to put their company name on the Phat 5 of College Basketball 500 year celebration. There is 1 year of play for every Fortune 500 company on the list. Now thats Dunkadelic!
Phat 5 First Year 2006-07
Kentucky 1903 104 years
N. Carolina 1911 97 years
UCLA 1920 88 years
Kansas 1899 109 years
