Experts in sports business say new RSL owners David Blitzer and Ryan Smith might usher in more spending on players.
Experts in sports business say Blitzer and Smith might usher in more spending on players, but don’t expect huge names coming from overseas.
“You’re talking about Monopoly money,” Dunseth told The Salt Lake Tribune. “With this type of backing, this type of ownership group, it completely changes what this club [has] been operating in financially, both in discretionary spend on the roster [and], just as importantly, the continued growth of the infrastructure.”
“If you look at both the Jazz and the Sixers, we’re fifth and sixth maybe in payroll in the NBA and people still criticize us for not spending enough,” Smith said. “So I think our track records are pretty good here.” It’s a situation that has Andrew Zimbalist, a sports business expert and professor of economics at Smith College, wondering just how much bandwidth Blitzer will have for RSL.
But Stefan Szymanski, professor of sports management at the University of Michigan, doesn’t find it the local connection to RSL’s ownership all that meaningful. Blitzer addressed this somewhat on Thursday. He said he believes in empowering people do their jobs and that he has “excellent people” at RSL.
