TODAY, WE ARE living during some tough economic times. Budget cuts are a daily topic of conversation at work and at home.
What is the first area that consumers will cut from their monthly budget? It is usually entertainment. Yes, it is the area of eating out, sporting events, movies, and concerts. We as consumers weigh the pros and cons as to whether we renew our season basketball, football, or baseball tickets for our favorite team, stop and get the usual Friday night pizza, attend the latest movies, or go see our favorite singer in concert. Most consumers have children playing secondary athletics sports, and they are at Friday night football games and Tuesday and Friday night basketball games. Consumers spend money attending these events because they have to purchase tickets, buy gas if they have to travel, and food. With these events costing the average consumer, there may or may not be any extra money to purchase tickets to the home NCAA team or NBA team.

Making Incorrect Calls Rated Most Intense Angst by Registered Interscholastic Officials
Now more than ever, emphasis and scrutiny is being placed on officiating at every level. Middle Tennessee State University's Center for Sport Policy and Research has tackled this very topic through expert insight from a current NCAA official and the Director of the Sport Management Graduate Program.
MURFREESBORO, Tenn., May 27, 2009 - Accuracy in sport officiating is held in the highest regard. League officials, coaches, and spectators are continually creating high-pressure atmospheres in which officials are forced to "get the call right" or face the repercussions. Onlookers are more boisterous than ever in vocalizing their discrepancy when they don't agree with a call. Even on the highest of stages, officials in the NFL, NBA, and MLB have the luxury of instant replay to aid them with certain calls; however, calls will forever be missed and that's a part of the game.
Stress in athletes has been studied and addressed since the early 1980's. But what about the officials whose split-second decisions can make or break a game? Until now, sources of acute stress and coping style differences among sport officials, as characterized by the type of sport, was glaringly absent from the research world.
