Influence of the Change of Distribution Rules Regarding Broadcasting Rights’ Income on Values of the Professional Football League

Abstract

    The purpose of this paper was to investigate the effects that occurred when the professional football (soccer) league changed its rules about broadcasting rights’ income distribution and made them more moderate than before. First, the values of the league games were divided to Team-Performance Value and Game-Performance Value. And then, the influences of the change of the rules were evaluated.
    As a result, numerical formulae showed that under some restricted conditions total values rose, following the change to moderation.
