Final Four picks that are sure to blow up (1) UCONN (1) Purdue (2) Arizona (3) Kentucky

Cue “2024 Oakland admissions all-time record” story coming this fall.

So excited for friend and Northwestern alum, Darren Rovell on the launch of collectibles media co. cllct . Textbook example of content studio owning a niche that is wide open. It's not just about the memorabilia - it's the stories & context = value.

This is the brilliant IP and content to create relevancy and value for the niche no one had really covered in multi-billion dollar collectibles market. Fanatics owns the market, but Darren Rovell and cllct about to own the mindshare/influence.

Two of my personal favs, two of the nicest women in sports media and two people you WANT to spend part of your day with. Congrats Peggy Kusinski & Dionne Miller !!!!

The Indiana Fever have drawn more fans in five games this season than they did during the entire 2023 season 🏟️

Excited afor Jason Coyle and team. A pretty big domino in Chicago sports media history as well as national landscape.

A colleague predicted 10 years ago the ultimate end game is for the leagues to eventually max every game as PPV. Feels like we are on the precipice.

Incredible how a simple brainstorm nearly a decade ago can lead to something so memorable. So proud of TeamWorks Media team who conceived and executed this.

Really interesting nugget here from Sportico on Fanatics' collectibles business. Topps' trading card division did $368M in sales in 2020 prior to the acquisition. That number jumped to $1.6B in 2024.

The Basketball Gods

An anniversary in my world.

So....after the '26 NCAA Lacrosse national title, whaddya say we turn this historically innovative stadium into some $$$ new collectibles?
