Host lost the broadcast rights for University of Kentucky sports in 1980, so he turned his attention to other ventures. He met with the athletic directors of the Southwest Conference (including Frank Broyles and Darrell Royal), and by the end of the meeting, they had asked Host’s company to operate the SWC Radio Network. The SWC Network was a resounding success, but Texas A&M football coach Jackie Sherrill led a successful campaign to end the network, allowing the larger universities in the conference to keep more broadcasting revenue. Host then signed a deal with athletic director DeLoss Dodds to control the broadcast and media rights for the University of Texas, and he rapidly expanded the commercial appeal of Texas athletics. Host continued to work with the NCAA and the NTBA. The NCAA struggled for control of college athletics with the College Football Association, which resulted in the 1984 Supreme Court decision in NCAA v. Board of Regents. The NTBA faced deregulation by the federal government, which resulted in a name change to the National Tour Association, larger membership in the organization, and increased revenue.

This book is the second volume of the two-volume The Oxford Handbook of the Economics of Sports which includes articles by nearly all of the important authors in the quickly growing field of sports economics. The two volumes consider in depth the ways that economics and sports interact with each other. To start with, economic analysis has helped with the understanding of many of the different institutions in sports. Secondly, quality data about individual productivity, salaries, career histories, teamwork, and managerial behavior has been useful in helping economists study topics as varied as the economics of discrimination, salary dispersion, and antitrust policy. The volumes are also rich from the point of view of the sports fan. Every major team sport is covered, and many interesting comparisons can be made especially between the North American League organization and the European-style promotion and relegation leagues. Golf, NASCAR, college athletics, women's sports, the Olympics, and even bowling are represented in these pages.

Budgeting Process

It is widely held that collegiate athletic directors are trapped in an expenditure arms race.  But the arms race explanation completely omits the actual consideration of the university budgeting process.  In its place, the arms race logic imposes strained assumptions about the cooperative setting and the naïveté of university administrators, along with a curious distinction of one type of revenue to reach its conclusions.  And the interpretation of the data on spending and benefits from college sports has not been done particularly well in the past. This paper presents an alternative principal-agent explanation that is based on the observed actual financial (budget) relationship between university administrators and their athletic department and consistent with the entirety of the aggregate-level data on college athletics finance.  Empirically discerning between the two models is crucial since each generates decidedly different policy implications.
