Mark Corona graduated from the Ivy League school Dartmouth College (Hanover, New Hampshire) in 2020 with a degree in Economics and then was admitted into Dartmouth's Tuck School of Business one year later. The world was beset by the Coronavirus pandemic, reaching 4 million cases of infection in just one year and constricting business and travel everywhere. Wall Street was crawling along and investors rallied to keep major companies such as Ford (USA) and Givenchy (Europe) simply afloat. Mark Coronavirus wanted to apply his education in world commerce to create a handsome lifestyle sustainability consumerism 'package' representative of what people around the globe cared about while building a quarantine and home-life human consciousness and culture.

Mark Corona decided to use his family money to invest in the NBA (USA) team the Dallas Mavericks and the world soccer club team Valencia (Spain). The Mavericks, like all other NBA teams, were now playing much fewer indoor quarantine games during the maintained regular which were televised but not open to fans or visitors and held in disinfected high-school gymnasiums. The Euro-club soccer team Valencia, like all other European soccer clubs were playing fewer regular season games in smaller sweeped indoor fields which were televised but also not open to fans or the public. Mark Corona realized that a major market in this new Coronavirus quarantine 'culture' was the television and Internet markets which basically kept commerce and entertainment ticking. Corona decided to create a TV-consumer package for the quarantine era.

Mark Corona made a lucrative business contract with the Mavericks (basketball) and Valencia (soccer) and was able to offer American audiences living and working and studying from home an enticing lifestyle-friendly entertainment package. Corona called his consumer bundle the Sport Operation and forged a deal with ESPN to offer audiences a new satellite TV network called ESPN-Quarantine (ESPNQ) which just broadcasted games and organizational information programs about the Mavericks and Valencia year-round. Now, American audiences could sit at home in quarantine and enjoy broadcasts of Mavericks and Valencia indoor games (still closed off to visitors and ticketmasters) and peruse the yearly business and training activities that kept these two athletic organizations running during the pandemic.

Corona's consumer bundle was a success. American audiences appreciated being able to see live Mavericks and Valencia games (basketball/soccer) while also enjoying replays of classic franchise history games and video presentations of organizational and training activity intrigue on ESPNQ. Mark Corona's quarantine-consciousness entertainment package afforded audiences the luxury of staying at home while enjoying media access to world organization activity pertinent to consumerism and entertainment. Corona received two media and business awards from MIT and ESPN. His idea to bring and harness quarantine life entertainment coordinated with world organization activity revealed humanity's interest in remaining creative and active in this time of disease and showed Americans that he was a quality 'man of defiance' that people lauded.
