Collecting data, crunching numbers and generating detailed reports is now a very big part of every sports franchise.  No longer does all the action take place on the field, track, pitch or court.  Sports franchises now rely on the analysis of big data for every aspect of their business,  from athletic performance and nutrition to fan interaction and  arena configuration.
