Paying with Plastic is the definitive source on an industry that has revolutionized the way we borrow and spend. More than a history book, Paying with Plastic delivers an entertaining discussion of the impact of an industry that epitomizes the notion of two-sided markets: those in which two or more customer groups receive value only if all sides are actively engaged. New to this second edition, the two-sided market discussion provides useful insight into the implications of these market dynamics for cardholder rewards, merchant interchange fees, and card acceptance. The authors, both of whom have researched the industry for more than 25 years, also examine the implications of the recent antitrust cases on the industry as well as other business and technological changes including the massive consolidation brought about by bank mergers, the rise of the debit card, and the emergence of e-commerce that could alter the payment card industry dramatically in the years to come.Credit cardsUnited StatesBank credit cardsUnited StatesElectronic funds transfersUnited StatesElectronic commerceUnited StatesConsumer creditUnited StatesECONOMICS/FinanceBUSINESS/Business TechnologyCredit cardsBank credit cardsElectronic funds transfersElectronic commerceConsumer credit332.7/65/0973Evans David S(David Sparks),1954-119437Schmalensee Richard121363OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910455535703321Paying with plastic1932112UNINA03857nam 2200721 450 991081489430332120230126213801.00-252-09788-2(CKB)3710000000538079(EBL)4306056(SSID)ssj0001590014(PQKBManifestationID)16284923(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001590014(PQKBWorkID)14739245(PQKB)10064276(MiAaPQ)EBC4306056(StDuBDS)EDZ0001639686(OCoLC)933297877(MdBmJHUP)muse47756(Au-PeEL)EBL4306056(CaPaEBR)ebr11137421(CaONFJC)MIL881578(EXLCZ)99371000000053807920160119h20152015 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrChanging the playbook /Howard P.

NCAA -- The Civil Rights Restoration Act and enforcement of Title IX -- Scandal, reorganization, and the devolution of the student athlete -- The M connection: media and money -- What's to become of college sports?"One of the great attractions of American sports is the speed with which they move. Another is that every championship season will hold their banners and trophies in places of honor. And still another is that every bad season comes to an end and hope springs eternal that next year will be splendid. Amid all the swiftly changing seasons of sports, and amid the moments that are remembered, even savored, there have been events and decisions that have proved to be turning points. Focusing on the period after 1950, Howard Chudacoff identifies seven such turning points. They are: (1)The emerging role of the NCAA in organizing sports, establishing rules, and enforcing them; (2)The integration of colleges and universities; (3)Contracts offered for college football for the new technology, TV; (4)The Supreme Court decision of 1984 that settled who could control TV revenue; (5)The passage of Title IX in 1972, requiring colleges and universities to expand women's varsity athletics; (6)The widespread scandals involving cheating in games, eligibility, and recruitment; and (7)Payment to players. Chudacoff provides the histories of each, all of which were controversial.
