A quick look from Octagon into the #PremierLeague 's salary cap. If the #EPL adopts the proposed multiplier for the cap, most teams won't exceed the salary cap. This cap will curb excessive spending over a singular season, rather than curtailing player spending altogether

Do you think tonight's #WNBA Draft will see 1M+ eyeballs on ESPN? If viewership of the NCAA March Madness Championship is any indication, it might be as automatic as a Caitlin Clark logo three ...

I'm definitely feeling like a 'Who's Up' after getting the invite from Austin Karp | Sports Business Journal to jump on THE Sports Media Podcast this week. 🙏 for having me on to chat 🔼 & 🔽 and also discuss some key #mediarights topics so far this year.

Congrats to our partners at the United Soccer League on their first-ever network TV broadcast this weekend.⚽📺

Proud to work alongside the USL to secure its landmark media rights agreement, including Saturday's match between Louisville City FC and Indy Eleven live on CBS.

Do you think 🏀 #IowaWBB 's round-by-round viewership will continue to outpace last year's #MarchMadnessWBB averages at a 5-6x rate? 🤔

Ahead of the #Sweet16 and #Elite8 tipping off this weekend for both Men's & Women's #MarchMadness , many🙏 to Sportico for allowing me an opportunity to 🖊️ some 💡 on the continued growth and broadcast potential of Women's College Basketball 🏀 #WBB .

🙏🙏🙏 adamrgrossman for including some of my 💡, alongside those of John Kosner (Kosner Media), on the potential for #AI to drive incremental value in the sports #mediarights space in his latest piece for JohnWallStreet.

POULAKIDAS!!!!

The new #CFP expansion is a big deal! 🏈

Octagon Director, Global Media Rights, Justin Beitler shares why expanding the playoff could have a big payoff for ESPN and Disney.

Octagon SVP Global Media Rights, William Mao, joined Front Office Sports to discuss the shifting landscape of media rights in college athletics and share what's driving the latest round of conference realignment. 🏈📺💰

Timing of move makes sense. UMass Football agreed to a 3 year deal with ESPN/ESPN+ that expires after the 2024/25 season.

Could this accelerate MAC/ESPN renegotiation timeline? Deal expires after 2026/27.

How does this impact recent A10 TV deal that runs through 2029?

Fun to compare:

Avg. CFP per game cost in new deal: ~$118m
NFL Wild Card Game on Amazon (per John Ourand): ~$125m

#HBCU Marching Bands already know that 'Halftime is Game time' ... but according to the ⬇️ analysis from my colleague Justin Beitler, this phrase might also ring true for the #SuperBowl as well?!

🙏🙏🙏 for having me Austin Karp , and thanks Sports Business Journal for not using my ugly mug in the 🎥 thumbnail this time 😅.

#sportsuperatreamer #huluforsports

So is this like RUSH Sports in the Caribbean ... but make it American? #iykyk

Thru #vMVPDs Paramount+ you can already stream #SBLVIII this weekend ... but will #TheBigGame ever air *exclusively* on a streamer in our lifetime??? 🤔

🙏@RichardDeitsch The Athletic for including some of my 💡 on this interesting question!
