MARKETPLACE ROUND-UP

          TAKING A GAMBLE? CT-based casino The Mohegan Sun has
     been named presenting sponsor of the Coaches vs. Cancer
     Challenge, a two-day NCAA basketball tournament that will be
     held November 24 & 26, 2000, in the Meadowlands and feature
     UConn, Old Dominion, Clemson and the Univ. of KY (Coaches
     vs. Cancer).  In Albany, Mark Singelais wrote on The Mohegan
     Sun sponsoring last weekend's Central CT State basketball
     tourney and called it "odd, even hypocritical" after noting
     that the NCAA is "sensitive about student-athlete gambling." 
     The casino paid the guarantee money for the visiting teams,
     provided the championship trophy and sponsored the
     tournament banquet (Albany TIMES UNION, 11/20).  
          NOTES: Electronic Arts (EA) has agreed to pay $81M to
     be the "dominant provider of games" on AOL and to buy online
     game maker Kesmai for $31M in cash and securities.  Under
     the five-year deal, EA's new online business subsidiary,
     EA.com, will "run the AOL Games Channel" (WALL STREET
     JOURNAL, 11/23)....The SPORTSBUSINESS JOURNAL's Daniel
     Kaplan cites a "well-placed source" as saying that the
     Senior Men's Tennis Tour "is in talks" with PaineWebber
     Group to take title sponsorship of a new tournament in
     N.Y.'s Central Park next year (SPORTSBUSINESS JOURNAL, 11/22
     issue)....In N.Y., Paul Tharp notes that Internet companies
     are "splurging much of their bankrolls" to purchase Super
     Bowl spots.  Hotjobs.com Exec VP/Advertising Dean Harris,
     whose company had an ad during last year's Super Bowl and
     purchased two ads this year: "Our business grew five-fold
     after the ad; it really worked for us" (N.Y. POST, 11/23).
