A source close to BC Partners confirmed to @FOS that its $300M deal with LIV "is not going to be signed,” but claimed the private credit firm is “not out completely, just not under this version.”
All eyes on tomorrow's bankruptcy hearing at 11:30am ET.

Why are fans funding NIL deals when coaches make 8 figures, players make 7, media rights bring in billions, and athletes can transfer a year later? Pay players from revenue, not donations. Give them real contracts with buyouts, and let new capital invest for ownership and upside.
just earnestly hit the new-ish "seems like AI slop" button on someone's horrible Linkedin post for the first time and it was v satisfying

I want to give a shoutout to our @MedillSchool intern @EliKronenberg for his role in our midterm reporting!
He tackled a ton of data, has been all over the Feely/Tafoya/Teixeira campaigns, and worked with @achristovichh and me on a bunch of stories 👏👏

It's a whole new world for high school athletic directors these days.
They're navigating trickle-down transfer portal behavior; having to sell ads and produce glossy hype videos for the state-of-the-art videos in their gyms; and interacting with more people—from increasingly involved families to entourages of travel coaches and specialized trainers—than ever
As one central Ohio–based AD put it: "Most of us are running mini colleges at this point."

As results were coming in last night, I heard from Padres pitcher Lucas Giolito, who FOS previously reported donated to Abdul El-Sayed.
"Although I don’t live in Michigan, I believe he’ll be a great progressive voice in the US senate," Giolito told me.

RIP, PCSA.

Sports owners spent $100M+ on the midterms, mostly on Republicans. Only three of the top 25 donors among owners leaned Democratic.
Tuesday was a lousy return on investment for many team owners—though not for Lucas Giolito.
From me and @EliKronenberg:

Déjà vu? College football viewership across all networks is down 11% through October—the same double-digit deficit the sport suffered through September, compared to 2025.
Massive weekend coming up with seven Top 25 matchups.

S shuttle subway car papered in $XRP marketing -- "crypto you can bring home to mom and dad"; "defiance, meet compliance"; "legal and ready to mingle" -- feels very dated

"Let's do it. Let's try to call the president." @DashaBurns did that earlier in the evening, and Trump picked up:

Former NFL sideline reporter Michele Tafoya has lost her first political race, running as a Republican in Minnesota.
She was backed by the owners of the Minnesota Vikings and Wild, as well as the owners of the Browns, Saints, and Bucs.
