Given the buzz around having an Olympics in the States, greater levels of broadcast and sponsorship revenue would trickle down to the USOC and the governing bodies of the Olympic sports. The USOC needs this money, as it has lost valuable sponsors like The Home Depot, General Motors and Bank of America since the onset of the recession.
