NCAA

Within the three divisions in the NCAA their are many huge differences and not much similarities throughout the divisions. One of the biggest things that they all say is that they focus on the student before the athlete, I would say this is true in Division III and maybe even Division II but I do not think this is true for Division I. Division I seems to focus on keeping athletes eligible more than an actual focus on understanding the material they are supposed to be learning. Also another main thing that is different from the divisions is scholarships. Although all three divisions say they focus on the student the concentration on academics increases through the divisions, which creates a major difference in not only the division but the student athletes life in the world after they graduate from college.

Endorsement and Piracy

Michael Jordan endorses Air Jordan by Nike.
David Ortiz endorses Dunkin Donuts and New Balance.
A-Rod endorses Vita Coco.
Peyton Manning endorses Papa Johns and Nationwide.
Mike Trout endorses BodyArmor.
Miguel Cabrera does not have any endorsements despite being very successful. 
Jonathan Toews endorses Bauer Hockey. 
Andrew Luck endorses BodyArmor. 

Piracy Example: 
Disney and Sony have come up with a plan that they hope will help keep the piracy rates down. Due to the recent issue with having movies illegally released while they are still in theaters they have decided to put the movie online to stream while in theaters to keep piracy rates down. Sony also had an issue with piracy recently with there movie the Interview. The company was hacked and threatened. They decided to release the movie online in fear that they would lose lots of money but that viewer would feel threatened at a theater.
