NOTE: @TheJusticeDept's probe has already led to multiple criminal indictments and at least seven guilty pleas. This civil suit👇 is the first to directly implicate either @RiddellSports or @VarsityBrands, which have been ID'd as unnamed, un-indicted co-conspirators by DOJ.
NEWS: @RiddellSports and @VarsityBrands are facing a class-action suit from a Mississippi school district over their alleged roles in an athletic equipment bid-rigging and price-fixing scheme currently under federal investigation. Story for @Sportico 👇

Sports team values are mostly up big since 2022, but returns vary wildly. The @valkyries give Nvidia a run for its money and look away $NKE investors.

“You can’t talk about the Brewers and not think about Ueck,” Levering told Sportico. “He means everything to that organization.”
As the franchise prepares to make its first World Series appearance in 44 years against the Tampa Bay Rays, Uecker has returned to the forefront of the baseball world. That’s yielded an opportunity, one that his family has seemingly prepared for.

The @Brewers have owned their mistakes on the Timeless Ticket redemptions. Kudos to them for taking the high road: holders will basically get free World Series tickets and keep the right for another in the future.
(And kudos to @JacobFeldman4 for being all over this story)
The Brewers just apologized for their handling of the Timeless Ticket redemptions.
From President of Business Operations Rick Schlesinger:
"Several hundred fans indicated an intention to redeem their Timeless Ticket for a World Series game. We subsequently erred in our internal communications on the logistics of fulfilling the requests. While we were able to accommodate all with seats, we received feedback from some that they were unhappy with their seat locations.
Clearly, even with extraordinary limitations on available seats, we did not live up to the spirit of the program and we have been working through a resolution. We are happy to say that all of these fans who applied prior to the deadline will be contacted with a positive update: they can retain their World Series ticket for this year, plus retain their Timeless Ticket for redemption for another game in any future season. We regret our mistake and look forward to welcoming them to America Family Field for their World Series experience.”

Less than an hour to go before the @nyknicks banner raising and ring ceremony. @germanotes today received some double play inside @PenskeMedia for her story on the business of championship rings 💎 at @Sportico and @wwd. Sportico teaming w/ other brands. sportico.com/business/commer…

BREAKING: The @NFL is partnering with General Atlantic on a new investment fund. This will turbo-charge 32 Equity, the league's investment arm, and create a GP structure where the league shares in carry on investments.
That's a new revenue stream for the world's richest league

“It’s like a car. I’d rather drive a Rolls-Royce than a Tesla that has all these tricks and buttons.”

The Brewers were in a 6-year playoff drought when they sold Timeless Tickets for $1K, promising a seat for any home game—even a World Series clash.
Fans held onto hope for over a decade. But now some feel the Brewers didn't fully live up to the deal...

I wrote this week about college football's latest innovation: the unfireable coach.
Universities have negotiated themselves into a box with their highest-paid employees. They're unwilling to pay less, and as a result, are unable to move on. Whoops!
