College Basketball Stock Market

If your college basketball team were a stock, bond or security, would you want to buy or sell? If your conference was a mutual fund, would you buy, or continue looking for something with more upward potential? That’s how you might look at things after reading “Hoop Thoughts” by Seth Davis of SportsIllustrated.com. Davis has some pretty good cases for you to buy, sell and hold until the market settles down. Is your team a sell? Take a look at the article to find out.

This idea of making teams like stocks is interesting. It gives the Final Four Blog another idea. What if we packaged a bunch of stocks together to make mutual fund options for hypothetical college hoops traders. You could package whole conferences, in which case you’d want to buy the ACC and sell the Pac-10 right now. Or you could package different categories, such as a Tobacco Road Mutual Fund, or an All-California Mutual Fund (say, Stanford, USC, UCLA, Cal, UC Santa Barbara, SDSU, San Diego, Saint Mary’s). Sound like a good idea? It’s so good that this might just show up in a Final Four Blog real soon.
