The Female Quotient’s Post

Sports Business Journal interviewed Jim Cavale, the co-founder and chairman of our client Athletes.org, for a well-reported story on the future of college sports.  The article points out that the current model is unlikely to survive, but no one truly knows what the next model will look like, including the ramifications of the ongoing lawsuits against the NCAA. “College sports have been flipped on their head in recent years,” wrote SBJ’s Benjamin Portnoy. "Astronomical media rights payouts and an increasing focus on athlete compensation — particularly in football and basketball — are driving discussions toward a revenue sharing model that allows athletes to benefit from the dollars they’re helping steer.” As Jim told SBJ:  “There is an hourglass with sand running out right now while we’re talking. And the clock is ticking.” Here’s the link: https://lnkd.in/gEPaF4uj #sports #sportsbusiness #sportsindustry #sportsbiz #media #marketing #sportsmarketing #communications #news #branding #innovation #change #digitalbranding #strategiccommunications #linkedinsports #delsohnstrategies

⚽ 💰 "After pumping billions of dollars into men’s professional sports, private-equity investors are focusing more of their capital and attention on women’s teams, particularly professional soccer. Women’s professional soccer is expected to contribute about 43% of nearly $1.3 billion in projected revenue from elite women’s sports this year, according to a report from financial advisory firm Deloitte. Many of the same forces that attracted private-equity capital to men’s sports also drive interest in women’s teams, including an easing of ownership restrictions in North America, growth in media streaming and intellectual property rights, and a growing fan base. Lower valuations compared with men’s sports, growth in game attendance and the promise of higher returns are also adding to the allure of investing in women’s sports" Source: WSJ #sports #privateequity #dealmaking
