Great Read

For readers who like to know what goes on behind the scenes in the business of sports, this book is just the ticket. What struck me is the readability -- like a novel -- and I learned a great deal about the characters involved in high-profile decision-making, and how power is wielded. Highly recommended.

Very Informative

As a soon to be lawyer as Mr. Horrow, this is a very informative book as to the world of Sports Business. He really provides insight into all aspects of Sports, including the political battles. This book is very encouraging and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to get into the business aspect of sports.
