A roundup of recent posts on the FSB News page.
– The Fantasy Sports Trade Association is taking nominations for its industry awards through Nov. 10. Voting will take place in December, with the winners to be announced at the winter business conference in Florida on January 27-28. Nominees much be FSTA members.
– Forecasts for the online advertising marketplace seem to be bipolar, but eMarketer projects a continuation of double-digit growth through this year and next.
– Bryce McRae has joined the ranks of the managing editors at KFFL.
– The Knight Commission debated the impact of fantasy college football on Monday, particularly in relation to the broader question of whether to pay athletes. It still seems as though everyone involved in this area of the fantasy debate, though, is mistaken about the role and impact of fantasy.
– Real Time Sports is using performance and breadth of participation to rank all of its users in a single, 225-person fantasy football hierarchy. “Troy R.” leads with first-place standing in eight leagues and second in seven others at present.
