Author: Kenneth L Shropshir
Focusing on the issue of franchise relocation, The Sports Franchise Game portrays a complex web of motivations, negotiations, financing, and public relations. Shropshire's in-depth analysis reveals how owners manipulate the franchise system to minimize their risks and maximize their profits.

The book will be of particular interest to policymakers, sports management professionals, and students of law and management.
