BFT Show: Rose Zhang, Bruce Schoenfeld

John Canzano is in talking about the Mountain West conference witholding money from Boise State and what the repercussions are for the Mountain West Conference. Canzano also is talking about Jody Allen and the sale of the Portland Trail Blazers and if they are really in jeopardy of moving. LPGA golfer Rose Zhang joins the program to talk about her career and life as a professional golfer. Zhang discusses her time at Stanford, highlighting both the positive aspects and some of the challenges she faced during her tenure. Zhang talks about her upbringing and how she got into golf. She says she played every sport growing up, but golf was the one that stuck. Zhang will be playing in the Portland Classic at Columbia Edgewater Country Club from Thursday to Sunday, and she discusses the tournament. Author Bruce Schoenfeld joins the program to discuss his latest piece he wrote for the Sports Business Journal about Jody Allen. Schoenfeld talks about how interesting Jody Allen is as an owner, because she is the name, but doesn't receive a dime from the sale. Schoenfeld admits that he didn't talk to Allen at all for the piece, but Schoenfeld thinks that Allen may just be shy and doesn't like to give interviews. Schoenfeld talks about his experience talking to Bert Kolde. Schoenfeld says that Jody Allen is very much like an owner that we see in professional sports, where Paul Allen wasn't the prototypical professional sports owner. Schoenfeld says that people in the Blazers and Seahawks organizations do like Jody Allen as the owner. Schoenfeld is 100% confident that Jody Allen knows that Paul Allen wanted to keep the Blazers in Portland, but he also says that if the offers that want to keep the Blazers in Portland are low, Jody would sell to a higher bidder.
