Investing In Sports

RENO, NV - Feb. 2,2004 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- AXcess News has released a story covering the business of sports today. Whether major or minor league it's still big business, but most of the focus is on major teams and the people who own them. While basketball fans everywhere have heard of the L.A. Lakers, most may not have heard about the Brevard Blue Ducks or the Brooklyn Kings, yet these are pro basketball teams too and unlike the Lakers, their league is publicly traded.

Few people though can afford to own a professional sports team. That privilege is for the ultra-wealthy. The rest of us must be content with memorabilia and attending a game now and then. After all, its unlikely the LA Lakers will be trading on the NASDAQ anytime soon.

Eat your heart out Jerry Buss, now anyone can own a piece of a pro basketball organization. Lifelong basketball fan and sports entrepreneur Dan Meisenheimer who formed the United States Basketball League, Inc. in 1984 spawned the idea.

At the time he founded the USBL, Meisenheimer was the youngest Commissioner of any professional sports league in history at age 33. Over the last nineteen years the League has grown to eleven teams with plans to add several more this year.

In 1996, Meisenheimer helped the USBL become the first publicly traded sports league. The United States Basketball League, Inc. is still the only publicly owned professional sports league currently trading (OTCBB: USBL) in the market.

Jerry Buss he's not, but Meisenheimer - and the league's fans - have one thing in common, they love basketball and with the season scheduled to open April 16th fans from St. Joseph, MO to those in Glen Falls, NY are all gearing up for the new season, with its stock slowly rising in anticipation of that event.
