Episode 115 – Cricket Legends of the Fall in TV Deals

At the start of the year, Cricket Australia surprised the sporting world by announcing an early resolution of their next TV rights deal. But did they go too early, take too little money and choose the wrong partner? Who better to take us through it than the For & Against team and special guest, Dr Hunter Fujak sports management lecturer from Deakin Business School and author of Code War$: the Battle for Fans, Dollars and Survival! On that theme, we also talk about the prospect of Apple getting its hands on the EPL and the highest earning clubs in football. We also revel in the knowledge that Australian skipper, Pat Cummins, is a member of two Whatsapp groups called “Legends” – but who is in each group and what could possibly go wrong? And that’s before we even get into Red Card Yellow Card! Join us for another great episode of sport taken seriously, sometimes, with For & Against!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
