29A Venture Concept 2

1. My Venture Concept is a service to get College athletes the compensation that they have deserved for a long time. I believe that there should be a system to where Student athletes should be able to market themselves and allow them to receive compensation from companies that use them as endorsers. After NCAA championships, the NCAA puts out advertisements for merchandise and uses the players as those who are on the commercials and the ads to buy the official gear. The players get used but to not see any of the money that the NCAA and the schools are making. I think this would be a good way to get the schools and the NCAA along with the athletes involved to find a solution to this problem. People want to point to scholarships as forms of compensation, yet most teams do not have full scholarships. Baseball is a sport where there are 35 players on the roster and 11.7 scholarships to hand out. There needs to be a plan in place that allows these athletes to get as much out of their worth as they can. Not every Student athlete gets the chance to play professionally. This would allow those who do not go to the next level to maximize their worth at the collegiate level.


2. The feedback that I received was that the readers could tell I am very passionate about this subject. Thy also noted how there will be some difficulties that will come about with dealing with each athlete individually and helping them be able to properly work with the companies that they will be marketing with. I believe that this plan will gain traction and will continue to be at the forefront of the media sports debates for a while.


3. I changed this by noting how there are athletes who do not go pro and do not receive full athletic aid to help with school. I think that it will be important to get the lawyers and the NCAA and the companies involved to be able to hold up the standard and make sure it is ethical in what they are doing. I think working with the major media companies will be something that can help me out and bring this to fruition.

30A- Final Reflection

After Reading through my posts, I  truly believe that networking and interviewing people for different reasons will be the most important thing in the future when I look back. These people that I added to my Human Capital will continue to be there as aides and people who will keep pushing my idea forward. This is something that Is near to me personally so I plan to continue pushing this forward and finding a solution to it. I am proud of myself for being able to find different ways to make this work even though there will be continuous threats and difficulties. I think that I was able to think my way through different challenges and that is something I am proud of.

 I do see myself as an entrepreneur. I see myself being able to think through problems and continuing to try and find new ways to get my ideas flowing. I love to find new challenges and that is a big part of being an entrepreneur. You will have to take risks and deal with failure. I know realize different things that are very important for the entrepreneurs to continue to make their companies grow.


I would recommend to stay on top of the work. It is easy to push back the assignments until the last second but they take time. It is also important to get the creative juices flowing even when there is a roadblock in finding ways to push the company and the ideas forward. Networking is vital so starting that process early and often is needed to be successful in promoting and starting up a company. And lastly, a company can get started with just one idea. The next big thing can come from a small idea. So take something you are passionate about and run with it.
