Sport-based Entrepreneurship for Sustainable Development in Nigerian Universities

Abstract

This paper made reflections on the purpose of modern Universities and their
relationship to sustainable development through sport based entrepreneurship. It is observed that Universities adopted a position of not
being business venture oriented. The purpose of modern Universities should
be fostering sustainable development by making this planet or their immediate environment a better place. This could be achieved through providing opportunities for entrepreneurship through scholarship emanating from research. The relationship between sport entrepreneurship and sustainable development was determined by examining sport based entrepreneurial opportunities that Universities can undertake for developing skills and empowering their immediate environment financially and extending to the Nigerian society in general. It is concluded that Universities can generate revenue and develop skills through sports entrepreneurship for sustainable development.
