Please respond in writing to the issues presented in this case by preparing two documents: a communication strategy memo and a professional business letter.

In preparing these documents, you may assume one of two roles: you may identify yourself as an NFL senior manager who has been asked to provide advice to NFL Spokesman Greg Aiello regarding the issues he and the league are facing.

Or$,$ you may identify yourself as an external management consultant who has

been asked by the league to provide advice to them.

Either way, you must prepare a strategy memo addressed to Mr$.$ Aiello that summarizes the details of the case, identifies critical issues, discusses their implications $($what they mean and why they matter$),$ offers specific recommendations for action $($assigning ownership and suspense dates for each$)$ and shows how to communicate the solution to all who are affected by the recommendations.

You must also prepare a professional business letter for the signature of Roger S$.$ Godell, Chief Executive Officer, National Football League. That document should be addressed either to the public as a published document or to another group of key stakeholders, explaining what has happened, the league$$s position, and the actions the league is taking. If you have questions about either of these

documents, please consult your instructor.
