Even when owners and players clashed about salaries and salary caps, one man always had respect on both sides of the table. Jerry Colangelo has long been one of NBA commissioner David Stern's most trusted confidants, yet liked enough by players that he got almost everyone he asked for when he built the U.S. national basketball team program. And now he's ready to share some of what's made him so successful -- and maybe help little Grand Canyon University realize its big-time athletic dreams. The Phoenix school announced Tuesday the formation of the Colangelo School of Sports Business, and the namesake plans to be involved. "People need to be encouraged, be given opportunities, and I have a lot I can share with my experience over 40 years," Colangelo said. "And so, you can [only] learn so much out of textbooks. A lot of it is in the trenches, a lot of is being around people who Aaron Rodgers Jersey have done it." Colangelo certainly has, responsible for much of Phoenix's professional sports history since arriving in 1968 as the expansion Suns' general manager. Some of it will be on display in the school's arena, where it envisions hosting Division I sporting events in a few years. Colangelo will donate medals, trophies and other items from his personal collection -- maybe even the baseball that was hit to win Game 7 of the 2001 World Series for the Diamondbacks. "From a local standpoint, there's an incredible history of what's transpired and I've got a lot of stuff to support that story," Colangelo said. Colangelo has moved beyond the Phoenix sports scene, selling the Diamondbacks and later the Suns, with whom he still holds a largely ceremonial title. But his roles as chairman of USA Basketball and the Naismith Asante Samuel Jersey Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame board have kept him active.. The Authentic Washington Redskins Jersey private Christian university, founded in 1949, wholesale nfl jerseys believed Colangelo's contacts could Texans Jersey help facilitate a move to college sports' highest level. Schools can no longer make the jump to Division I as an independent, they must be invited New England Patriots Shop to join a conference. "Jerry knows and has lots of credibility with conference commissioners, with athletics directors, with university presidents, and we think he can help us as we're making our sales pitch to different conferences about who we are and what we could bring to a conference," said Grand Canyon University CEO Brian Mueller. Colangelo, though, was more interested in the business school, so resigned the Grand Canyon board position to focus on that. He'll do some lecturing, help line up guest speakers from around the sports world, and each year, an outstanding second-year student will be mentored by him. "Through experience, through my journey, I can share what things worked for me and how circumstances led from one thing to another," Colangelo said. "The only way you become a candidate for these top jobs is by being well rounded and having work experience and creating expertise in different areas, and that prepares you in case you do get that opportunity." Colangelo says pro sports was "Mom and Pop in terms of scope" when he started with the Chicago Bulls in the mid-1960s, when the franchise value was 1.25 million, the team payroll was 180,000 for 12 players, and coaches and general managers topped out around 15,000. Now, the NBA brings in 4.3 billion in revenues, and owners have locked out players while they fight over how to divide it up. But Colangelo still relies on personal communication, the same way he did then while negotiating the Green Bay Packers Shop league's first sneaker deal, with Converse, in Chicago. That's why he doesn't share the concerns coach Mike Krzyzewski recently expressed about the impact a season-long lockout could have on the Americans' Olympic title defense. Colangelo has been talking to players and agents, and they all tell him there's no way they're passing on London if the lockout is ongoing. "There has been no indication from agents or players who are part of our national team that they would not be playing," he said. "Quite to the contrary, the calls and communication that I've had is that they all are in, they all intend to play." For now, he's focused on the Grand Canyon project. "I'm going to have an involvement, it's not just a name," he said. The school will host the first game in its new arena next month against Arizona State and aspires to be a Gonzaga or Marquette, a small, religious school but a basketball power. Its goal is 12,000 students on campus in three years and 1,000 in the sports business program major, created just last year, within five years on campus and online. "The first thing Jerry has, I think, is a tremendous amount of credibility with every significant audience," Mueller said. "He Anquan Boldin Jersey was really well respected by his fellow owners, very well respected by the players, because of the way he dealt with them and the relationships he was able to build with them. He's very respected by the fan base, and so he's got a lot of credibility with all the important constituents. "But the other thing was Jerry's well known, especially around here, having built as a businessman, having built really high quality organizations. We can use him not only as somebody who's got a Aaron Curry Jersey great record and lots of experience around professional athletics, but also as somebody who from a general business perspective knows how to build great organizations." .
NBA: Cuban plan would tax teams, not cap salaries
NEW YORK -- The NBA players association, not Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, proposed the elimination of the salary cap during negotiations aimed at ending months of labor strife, a league official said Tuesday. NBA senior vice president Mike Bass said union executive director Billy Hunter made "several misstatements" during an hour-long podcast with ESPN.com on Monday. Among them was the revelation of the salary cap plan, which Bass said was actually an exception to the cap, not BenJarvus Green-Ellis Jersey the elimination of Andre Johnson Jersey it. Hunter said that, during a meeting last week, Cuban proposed what he called a "game-changer" Chicago Bears Shop -- a plan to replace the salary cap with a heavy tax Official Seattle Seahawks Jersey for teams that spent to a certain level. Hunter said the players were interested in discussing it further and that two or three other owners in the room were really excited about it, but then were told by the owners they wouldn't pursue it. "On behalf of the league, Mark Cuban proposed adding a new salary Philadelphia Eagles Shop cap exception, not eliminating the salary cap," Bass said. "It was the union that, in response, proposed eliminating the salary cap, a proposal that was even worse for the NBA than the union's prior proposals." Cuban did not immediately respond to Brian Orakpo Jersey a request for comment. Hunter speculated during the podcast that owners backed away from the idea of eliminating the salary cap because it had been implemented under commissioner David Stern long ago. "And so I don't know whether there's any pushback because of that," Hunter said. "But we were prepared to pursue that whole idea of going into a different direction, where we would be able to, wouldn't have to worry about a cap. So the exceptions, salaries, all of that would be, there would be no limit Colts Jersey with the exception of there being obviously a cap at the top, Dallas Clark Jersey i.e., a quite heavy tax that teams would have to confront if they went above a certain number. "But what happened was the owners decided, at least the Baltimore Ravens Shop leaders of their delegation, decided they had to take it back in a different direction. They said we don't want to address that." The sides met for three days with a federal mediator before talks broke down after players said owners insisted they commit to a 50-50 split of revenues before any further discussions about the salary cap system could continue. Though staffs from the sides have met since, no full bargaining sessions have been held and the NBA is expected to soon announce more games will be canceled. Union officials were angry with the league's characterization of the breakdown of the talks Thursday. Now the league is unhappy with Hunter's portrayal of the negotiations, such as when he mentioned items like a hard salary cap and salary rollbacks that owners are no longer proposing. "In his podcast interview with Bill Simmons, Billy Hunter makes several misstatements and blatantly mischaracterizes the parties' negotiations, the financial benefit to players from the NBA's latest offer, and the benefits from the system changes the NBA has proposed to improve team competitiveness," Bass said. Bass also said the union has proposed a 10-year collective bargaining Brian Urlacher Jersey agreement, with mutual opt-outs after years six and eight. Owners have been seeking a 10-year deal, but the union has repeatedly said it doesn't want to go longer than six years. He also disputed Hunter's notion that the owners are seeking a more favorable CBA because many of them lost money in their other businesses as a result of the economic downtown. "The owners reasonably believe they should have the opportunity to make a profit in a business that annually generates over 4 billion in revenue and pays the players over 2 billion," Bass said. "It has nothing whatsoever to do with making up for losses in other businesses."
