Would be nice to be contacted about these kind of reports. Wasn’t aware of this. @UConnHuskies

There is literally no way 40% of consumers used an AI tool to make a purchase in food unless we are greatly exaggerating what one considers AI.

I met the ghost. He smart.

The @WNBA secured a record media-rights agreement, saw franchise valuations rise dramatically, expanded into several new markets and attracted unprecedented attention during @CathyEngelbert tenure. But her most consequential accomplishment may have been successfully negotiating a new CBA that included a material increase in player compensation. -------- “A year ago, two years ago, the whole narrative was [the WNBA] can't even pay the players, [that there is a need] to start these other leagues [like Unrivaled and Project B] so they can make enough money to live their lives. They have to go to Europe in the off-season," @johnsbrody says to @HowieLongShort. That’s no longer the case. "@paigebueckers1 can live her life between the [nearly $500,000 annual salary] that the @DallasWings give her, plus the enormous opportunity [players] now [have] to market themselves.” “A lot of that credit has to go to the WNBA leadership team.”

"Our partnership with @RedBirdCap is a strategic partnership, and at the core it's about driving our commercial business," says @Big12Conference Commissioner @brettyormark to @maschreiber & @HowieLongShort. "They were drivers of our @PayPal deal. They were drivers of our @NewEraCap partnership. So at the core, it's really about how can they give us access and help us, given the enormity of their ecosystem and their relationships, and drive value for the conference, which they've already done and they continue to do."

Coach and AD have to go. This isn't leadership.

The two cover a range of actionable insights, including how women’s sports are attracting new fans, how open access, business outcomes and engaged alumni have fueled the growth of the @MITSloan Sports Analytics Conference, and more. Link to 📺 watch the full episode 👇

This is an idea @SportsTao and I have talked about many times over the years. Just the simplest logic. Go where people are underserved and give them something to latch onto.
