SBD/SBJ Reader Survey: The Results Are In

SportsBusiness Daily/SportsBusiness Journal this week roll out the results of our fourth annual reader survey. Nearly 2,300 responses were gathered, and while 76% believe the industry is on the right track, the economy, not surprisingly, is top of mind -- 33% of voters said the uncertain financial picture poses the biggest threat to sports. In today's issue, we focus on the state of the industry, media, sponsorship and league issues. On the heels of the triumphant Beijing Games, NBC’s Dick Ebersol is atop the rankings as the most successful TV network sports exec. Meanwhile, Roger Goodell tops the list as the most effective league commissioner. More categories will be presented each day this week; full results run in this week's issue of SBJ.
