There'll be no shortage of sports stars in the boardroom this season.

The contestants (or cast members) for the eighth season of NBC's "Celebrity Apprentice" have been announced, and it's an impressive lineup — not least because the head of the boardroom this time around will be Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The Hollywood A-lister will have plenty of rich-and-famous advisers surrounding him, including Warren Buffett, Tyra Banks and Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer, who alone would make for a compelling reality-TV boss.

Other sports stars who'll be joining him on air as contestants include:

-- Ricky Williams, the former Miami Dolphins running back and Heisman-winning Texas Longhorns great

-- Eric Dickerson, a Hall of Fame running back who played for multiple NFL teams, including the L.A. Rams.

-- Chael Sonnen, the mixed-martial arts star and UFC legend

-- Laila Ali, the former world boxing champ and daughter of Muhammad Ali

-- Lisa Leslie, ex-WNBA champ and four-time Olympic gold medalist

Do any of these sporting greats have a shot against the likes of Brooke Burke-Charvet, Jon Lovitz, Snooki, Carnie Wilson, Boy George or Vince Neil?
