The Making of a Blockbuster: How Wayne Huizenga Built a Sports and Entertainment Empire from Trash, Grit, and Videotape by Gail DeGeorge,

The Making of a Blockbuster: How Wayne Huizenga Built a Sports and Entertainment Empire from Trash, Grit, and Videotape by Gail DeGeorge,
Thirty-five years ago, Wayne Huizenga rose before sunup each morning to run his garbage collection route. Today, the sun hasn't yet set on his multibillion-dollar sports, entertainment, and waste management empire. Now, in The Making of a Blockbuster, Business Week reporter Gail DeGeorge gives us the complete inside story of how a rowdy young college dropout-turned-garbage collector rose to become a corporate titan. Writing in a taut, journalistic style, DeGeorge traces the evolution of Huizenga's business empire, beginning in 1962 when, with $5,000 borrowed from his father-in-law, Huizenga purchased a second-hand garbage truck and a handful of commercial accounts. From this modest start, he built Waste Management, the world's largest waste collection company. He then managed a string of far-flung and highly profitable business ventures - from portable toilets to pest control - and then grew Blockbuster from l9 video stores to a 3,700-store entertainment conglomerate with annual revenues of more than $4 billion. We learn for the first time the full details behind how he built Blockbuster, in just seven years, through a combination of grit, seat-of-the-pants dealmaking, and sheer entrepreneurial genius. When he sold Blockbuster as part of the sensational 1994 Viacom/Paramount merger, Huizenga emerged as a powerbroker in the entertainment industry. We also get a behind-the-scenes look at Wayne Huizenga's successful launch into the sports industry, including his unparalleled ownership of three major professional sports franchises - the Miami Dolphins, the Florida Marlins, and the Florida Panthers - as well as Miami's Joe Robbie Stadium. Huizenga has recently purchased a small solid wastecompany - leading us to wonder if he's now building his third multibillion-dollar corporation.

The past 25 years have arguably seen some of the best court action in The University of Tulsa's history. Paul Pressey, Steve Harris, Tracy Moore, Shea Seals, Michael Ruffin and Kevin Johnson are just a few of the marquis players that have donned the Blue and Gold.
