Welcome to the home of intellectual thought for young sports business professionals. This journal is an opportunity for professionals who are just starting their careers to express their insights on the sports business industry. Whether it be an article about sponsorship, marketing, media, professional sports, collegiate sports, sport finance, player representation, venues and facilities, or a variety of other sport business-related topics, The Sports Business Exchange is the place for young sport professionals to get their articles, and themselves, recognized.
The Sports Business Exchange (TSBX) is a collection of articles written by young sports business professionals. Young professionals have a unique view on the rapidly changing and dynamic sports industry. TSBX is a forum for intellectual articles on issues and concerns in the world of sport business. These articles are written strictly by young professionals in the sports business industry who often otherwise lack a platform for writing articles on current events.
The Sports Business Exchange is now accepting article submissions. To submit an article for consideration, fill out the TSBX Submission Form. Only articles submitted by young sports business professionals will be considered for publication.
TSBX Peer Review Board
The TSBX Peer Review Board is a group of readers who collectively decide on which articles should be published. TSBX Peer Review Board (TPBR) members are all young sports business professionals who share an interest in the research and academia of sport business. Upon submission, each article is sent to the TPBR for review. The articles are provided to the members without any information about the author. TPBR members read the articles and provide a ranking; a high ranking indicates that the TPBR member thinks this article is worthy of publication. TPBR members rank an article based on content, research, and relevance.

Mission
Long before TSBX was created, the Founder of the journal wrote a fifty page thesis in his senior year of college on Athletic Administration. After the paper was well received by his professors, he decided to try to have his work published so that it could be read and discussed by like-minded individuals across the country. After several submissions to well known sport-focused publications, his article was never published.
Several years later, the founder wrote another article that he wanted to submit for publications. Upon submission, he encountered the same difficulties he had when he submitted his thesis for publication. After considerable analysis of the situation, he realized that all the articles that were published in these journals were by experienced business professionals with professional titles such as “General Manager,” or “President,” or abbreviations such as SVP and EVP. Not once was there ever an article written by a “coordinator,” a “manager,” or anyone else with a similar title.
In the ever-changing world of sport business, best practices that were integral to the industry thirty years ago are now obsolete. From social media and viral marketing to PSLs and eight-figure player contracts, young sports business professionals have grown up in a completely different world than their bosses and their boss’ bosses. Thus, the Sports Business Exchange was created.
Mission:
The Sports Business Exchange (TSBX) seeks to be an online article submission-based journal where all publications are written by young sport business professionals. TSBX will be a forum for discussion between young sport business professionals. TSBX will provide relevant and interesting academic articles that are of interest to young sport business professionals.
