I posted this to the college swimming message board:
Bob B is departing Michigan for business opportunities. Humm.....
The best biz opportunity we've seen in some time is unfolding now with the release to the marketplace of the LZR Racer from Speedo.
Another guy left the coaching ranks from Michigan to work for Speedo, Stu I.
How many $550 suits do you need to sell a month to make a good living as a retailer? There is margin in there somewhere.
What about the ones that stitch the suits? I have a friend that has worked hard to expose the economics of 'sweatshops' in terms of merchandise for pro sports teams and college apparel. They had big protests / rallies around MLB's All Star Game because the jerseys sell for more than $100 and are made by people that might make that in a month.
Getting the technology and needles for stitching those suits could make for a lucrative business opportunity for some.
Just wondering as the threads merge (pun intended).....
