They’re going to use this to lock the ACC and Big 12 out of major nonconference games, and then use “weak nonconference” as justification to put 18 Big Ten and SEC teams into the 24-team playoff.

Worked well for Fox Sports...
isn't it obvious (even if they won't cop to it) that The Ringer, which is now explicitly an arm of Spotify, is moving toward being just a podcast/vodcast platform with no written articles? via @DefectorMedia

Hearing about the Candy Crush - LA Clippers partnership for the first time at @HowieLongShort The initiative was designed to get fans back into their seats by offering prizes if a certain number of them play the game simultaneously. TLDR - it’s working. Very clever.
The Clippers announced a partnership with Candy Crush where fans can play the game with controllers at their Intuit Dome seats. There will be exclusive prizes and it will be a four year partnership.

Lazy, sensationalist headline here. The “DraftKings executive” is a board of trustees member at the University of North Carolina, and we spoke to him in that capacity - one of the hundreds of universities Saving College Sports has engaged with. And of course we have talked to “influential” politicians. How else would we help get the bill passed??

BREAKING: The @NFL is partnering with General Atlantic on a new investment fund. This will turbo-charge 32 Equity, the league's investment arm, and create a GP structure where the league shares in carry on investments. That's a new revenue stream for the world's richest league

The goal should be to make a meaningful number of games available at a time that suits kids under 12... Fandom is a learned behavior that requires repetition over time... and that behavior is stickiest when in the context of family bonding rituals... But family bonding rituals rarely happen after 9PM!
I love the 3PM start time. MLB does it. Why not NBA? But the league scheduled only 15 weekday afternoon matinees all season long. All of the others are on holidays or international, other than today and Friday's rescheduled Bucks-Bulls game. I hope for more in the years to come.

Teams are increasingly retaining inventory to sell on a single-game basis rather than committing those seats to season ––or miniature–– ticket packages. And the expectation is that more will retain an even larger share of single-game ticketing inventory in the years ahead. 👇

Give the Big 12 a prime national window and it can deliver premium numbers. 9.2M viewers with a 13.2M peak. Evidence the Big 12 has real national drawing power when its top teams are given the platform. Adding BYU was one of the smartest moves this conference has made. Their brand, fanbase and national reach raise the value of the entire league. The investment is showing up on the field, in the rankings, and now in the ratings.
🏈 @ESPNCFB scored in Week 7 with 3 of the top 4 most-viewed games 📺 9.2M: @NotreDame-@BYUfootball (13.2M peak 📈) 📺 8.1M: @AlabamaFTBL-@Vol_Football 📺 4.7M: @GatorsFB-@TexasFootball 📺 3.6M: @FSUFootball-@CanesFootball 📺 3.5M: @AuburnFootball-@GeorgiaFootball (6.7M peak 🤯)
