This book lays down a marker as to the state of economists’ understanding of the National Football League (NFL) by assembling sophisticated, critical surveys of by leading sports economists on major topics associated with the league. The book is divided into four parts. The first three chapters in Part I provide an overview of the business of the NFL from an economist’s perspective. Part II is a collection of surveys of the economics of the NFL’s most important revenue streams, including media, attendance, and merchandising. The NFL’s labor economics is the focus of Part III, with chapters on player and coach labor markets, the draft, and contract structure. Part IV includes essays on competitive balance, gambling, economic impacts of the Super Bowl, behavioral economic issues associated with the league, and antitrust issues. This book will appeal to sports economists, sports management professionals, and policy-makers, and would be useful as a supplementary text for sports economics and management courses as well as a reference text.

Research has demonstrated that a Super Bowl victory increases the personal income of the individuals in the metropolitan area from which the winning teams come. We argue that the economic benefits should extend beyond just the championship team's city to the cities of teams that experience seasonal success, and thus, the winning percentages of National Football League teams were included in our model. When controlling for sources of bias, winning percentage of the local professional football team had a significant positive effect on real per capita personal income. Explanations for these conclusions are offered from a psychological perspective.

The story of Florida State University's first African-American football player is full of promise, intrigue, history, and heartbreak. Calvin Patterson became a pioneer in 1968 when he integrated the FSU football team as a promising freshman from Miami Palmetto High School. What ensued is a story spanning decades that continues to be told. At one moment Calvin was an inspiration to a small but growing black student body at FSU. Within a few years, the university moved on when Calvin's football career ended in tragedy.The events that followed Calvin's arrival in Tallahassee are captured in this book by telling the story of FSU's struggle with integration on and off the athletic fields, with Calvin at the center of it all, as his friends rally to keep his story from being forgotten. The author interviewed more than 40 family members, friends, and former teammates to create a more complete picture of Calvin's life.
