The NFL Lockout: Where Are We Now and What It Means for Business

Join me in a roundtable teleconference on Wednesday, April 6th, 2011 at 2pmPT/5pm ET as we address the legal and economic consequences of the NFL lockout. Our panel will discuss specific topics such as:

  • The real story on the lockout such as what both sides really want, how far apart they are and who the powers are
  • The real economics of the NFL and the possible economic implications going forward
  • A look into the future – what’s next for the NFL?

I will be joined by Jessica B. Horewitz, Ph.D.  She wrote her doctoral dissertation on the revenue structure of the National Football League, specifically the relationship between player costs and team profitability.  Since that time, Dr. Horewitz has spent 15 years in the field of economic consulting.  She has participated and testified in matters in litigation, settlement, and business consulting, using analytical and statistical tools to assist clients in a variety of economic and econometric arenas.
