It was no surprise last fall that as the 2007 season was falling apart that a number of recruits soon followed.After all, why go into a situation as volatile as things were last November when you?ve got a number of schools to choose from?It seemed likely that once the new coaching staff took over and began to establish a pecking order (i.e. depth chart) that some players would soon follow.But so far, it hasn?t happened. By Nick Mulvenney China BEIJING, April 22 (Reuters) – China’s Olympic committeebanked a $60 million windfall from last year’s Beijing Gamesand has already raised another $60 million to fund athletes’preparations for London 2012, officials said on Wednesday. China topped the medals table with 51 gold medals lastAugust and, even in these gloomy economic times, iscapitalising on that success to assemble a huge war chest tohelp get its athletes ready for the London Games. To top up its considerable state funding, the ChineseOlympic Committee (COC) has rebranded itself and embarked on anambitious sponsorship programme modelled on the InternationalOlympic Committee (IOC)’s lucrative TOP partnership programme.
“The start of our post-Olympic marketing has not been good,it’s been perfect,” Wang Jun, COC vice president, toldreporters at a sports marketing summit on Wednesday. “The sponsorship money we have received so far has exceededthe total of what we had for the Beijing Games, with only twocategories of sponsors so far. “We still have many other categories available, such asbanking, cars, insurance, dairy and so on.” The two sponsors already on board are knitwear company HengYuan Xiang, who will suit and boot the team for openingceremonies and the like, and sports equipment manufacturersAnta, who will clothe the athletes for competition. FAIR COMPETITION Although they are both Chinese companies, official said theCOC programme was open to anybody.
