NZR CEO Mark Robinson Resigns
-
At the elite level NZR would have a few things in common with an NBA franchise.
But an NBA franchise doesn't have to overly concern itself with the rest of the sport, which NZR does.
The NCAA and the state federations take care of all that.
So in that respect it is a lot different.
Both big businesses tho.As for WR, fuuuck.
I think the amateur legacy has a lot to do with it.
They were the last sport to adopt professionalism.
Some of the crazy attitudes and positions held by the amateur establishment would make a religious fundamentalist proud.
But . . . I can remember when the NBA was nothing special, and making losses.
I'd say the Bird/Johnson era in the 80's changed everything for the NBA, changed the way the game was actually played, and changed all the finances.
Since then everything has been "up and to the right."
So . . . there is hope for rugby. -
According to Paul Cully:
Outgoing NZ Rugby chief executive Mark Robinson is in his last week in the job, so the work will then come under the responsibility of interim chief executive Steve Lancaster or the next full-time chief executive.
The Star-Times understands that key role won’t be filled by Six Nations boss Tom Harrison, however.
The Englishman was previously reported to be one of the front-runners to replace Robinson, but it is understood that he has withdrawn from contention.

He led the AB review, for sure.
But the others would have been reviewing the review.
And he promptly resigned on completion.
Says it all . . . oh well . . . the other job pays more anyway.Haha
Normally the job of the CEO to review the review . . . but . . . that's right, we dont have one of those. -
