...wages to revenue is lower than it is in most of the other big European leagues. Clubs threatened with relegation out of the Premiership (three teams are dropped each year, and three added) are wising up to performance-related pay schemes. From next season, even the worst team will net around $54 million in media and TV revenue, almost as much as the $60 million that Chelsea took home for winning the league last year. And relegated teams get "parachute payments" that soften the blow of tumbling down a division. With that kind of stability, building a brand in Asia...

Under CEO Walter Forbes, now awaiting jail, CUC was also a pioneer at fabricating earnings, Silverman later discovered...
...sophomore attack Kaitlin Martin said. “Their offense had the ball more than our offense did.” That simple draw advantage meant more shot opportunities for Dartmouth. The Big Green had a whopping 20-shot advantage as it threw 35 at the net to the Crimson’s 15. A slow start from Harvard let Dartmouth grab a 4-0 lead ten minutes into the contest, and the Big Green never looked back. Junior attack Tara Schoen kept Harvard in the game for the first 13 minutes of the matchup, and her natural hat trick...
