1. Excellent article by @achristovichh, who is establishing herself as one of the top sports business journalists. 2. Also, wow, is this college sports industry dislikable! As much as we teach students that might doesn’t make right, higher ed sure behaves as if it does!
NEW: College sports now has a Super PAC. The College Sports United PAC registered last month. It will be backed by boosters form smaller D-I schools who want a voice in the industry's future. The goal: to get the Protect College Sports Act passed. frontofficesports.com/articl…

We have reached the stage at which well-financed interests are deploying scare tactics to pressure members of Congress to support deeply flawed college sports legislation.
First at FOS: College sports now has a dedicated Super PAC. The College Sports United PAC was created to ensure the current version of the Protect College Sports Act passes the House without amendments. Story by @achristovichh ⬇️ frontofficesports.com/articl…

The NFL is considering the possibility of making its instant replay review process available to be shown on game broadcasts, source says, as @AlbertBreer first reported. Those discussions include the possibility that could be implemented this season, that source tells @FOS.

"It's been proven that having a salary cap does make sense for the business." White Sox part-owner Mat Ishbia tells FOS his thoughts on the MLB labor negotiations and why pairing a salary cap with a salary floor could actually make it "pro-player."

Apollo's Sam Porter on buying into the NFL, onstage at @FOS Asset Class last month: "We have to look and figure out what is a place, a position, where we can enter, either through a partnership with a club or whatever that looks like. We’re still in the early stages of that, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t take a hard look at that league given how big it is" @AEricFisher frontofficesports.com/articl…
