...would ever end. When sophomore first baseman Whitney Shaw hit her second home run of the day out of the URI Softball Complex in the top of the tenth, it looked like the Crimson might steal the win. But in the bottom of the inning, Rams freshman Erika Szymanski took matters into her own hands, blasting a three-run homer that sent the ball sailing over the center-field fence and Harvard (18-20, 9-3 Ivy) back to the bus with a 7-5 loss...
...when Shaw hit a two-run shot, her second home run on the game, in the top of the tenth.

And keeping the Olympic athletes and spectators safe won't come cheaply, so once again, money has become a concern.

Apart from that are the logistics. "It's not an event you will...
...what's the harm in a little sponsorship? The ambitions behind a firm's marketing may offer a clue. "A lot of companies interested in sponsorship would be companies targeting very high rates of growth," says Stefan Szymanski, a sports business economist at Cass Business School in London. "To target a very high rate of growth is often a high risk strategy. High-risk businesses, in recession, tend to go bust." (The reverse can also be true: the stock price of sponsors of U.S. sports stadiums actually outperformed the market in the more benign conditions...
