Economics Live / The business behind the game
A sports franchise is a series of decisions. Weigh contracts, manage limited resources, and discover the economics behind the game.
Facilitated sports-business programs available to discuss. The independently playable game is in development.
The economics of competition
Sports gives students a reason to care about scarcity, incentives, risk, and financial planning.
Look at the player and the contract. A stronger roster is desirable, but every commitment has a cost.
Compare competing demands on the same money. Choose what the club can afford and what it must leave behind.
Discuss how the choice fits the club’s goals, the alternatives it closes off, and the risks worth taking.
Inside the experience
A shared board sets the scene. Each student works through the financial choices at their own desk. What looks like a straightforward signing becomes a discussion about priorities.
This capture is from a synthetic demonstration of BOW’s instructor-led system. It shows the experience being built, rather than establishing public access to a finished independent game.

Programs / Available to discuss
BOW’s teaching history includes six-week programs for middle-school groups. Schools and youth organizations can discuss an instructor-led or facilitated experience shaped around their students and schedule.
BOW and the institution agree on the format, delivery responsibilities, preparation, and access before a program begins.
Discuss a programThe game / In development
The ambition extends to sports gameplay, management, careers, shared leagues, and persistent progression within a cohesive franchise experience.
Independent careers and Living Leagues are developing capabilities. A walkthrough is not a promise of publicly available play, student access, or a release date.

Talk through your students, your setting, and the financial ideas you want them to use. We’ll explain what can be arranged now.
BOW’s sports-economics teaching has served middle-school grade bands, including grades 5–6 and 7–8. Other settings and age groups require a conversation about content, support, and fit.
Introduces the sports-business situation, supports students through the decisions, and leads discussion about the economic tradeoffs. Confirm instructor and facilitator responsibilities when planning a program.
Requirements depend on the agreed program. Discuss student browser access, shared display needs, connectivity, session timing, and school authorization in the walkthrough.
Public access to the independently playable game is not verified. Request a walkthrough to see the current work and discuss the separate facilitated program.
