College Sports Merchandise Marketplace

Freakonomics Radio Freakonomics Radio - 649. Should Ohio State (and Michigan, and Clemson) Join the N.F.L.?

Market Gap: Limited revenue streams for college sports teams.

This idea envisions creating an online marketplace specifically for college sports merchandise, geared towards teams across all divisions but especially those in lower tiers that lack exposure. This platform would enable fans to support their local teams by purchasing official merchandise, creating a new revenue stream for these programs. By leveraging the community aspect of college sports and the growing trend of athletes monetizing their brands, the marketplace could offer a unique selection of merchandise, including player gear, memorabilia, and exclusive local products. This could help foster a stronger fan connection and provide teams with the financial resources needed to improve their competitiveness and overall operations.

NCAA Promotion and Relegation System Platform

Freakonomics Radio Freakonomics Radio - 649. Should Ohio State (and Michigan, and Clemson) Join the N.F.L.?

Market Gap: College teams lack opportunities to compete at professional levels.

The idea involves developing a platform that facilitates a promotion and relegation system for NCAA football and basketball, allowing top-performing college teams to compete in the NFL and NBA. This system could be implemented through existing NCAA conferences, creating a tiered league structure that would not only give college teams the chance to rise to professional levels but also ensure that lower-tier professional teams face the risk of relegation. This model could enhance fan engagement by increasing the stakes of college games and creating a more competitive landscape in American sports, akin to global soccer leagues. The platform would need to address the regulatory and logistical challenges of merging these systems.
