The 125 Most Influential People In Sports Business

Episode 571 of the Sports Media Podcast with Richard Deitsch features Austin Karp, the sports media reporter for Sports Business Journal. In this podcast we discuss SBJ's "Influence 125" list, which looks at the most influential people in sports business over the last 25 years; how people were selected; how they determined which owners from each of the big sports should make the list; Bill Simmons being the only pure content creator on the list; how to think about powerful agents such as Nick Khan and Ari Emanuel; who might make such a list in 2040; the Big Ten Championship between Indiana and Ohio State averaging 18.3 million viewers; the regular season college football viewership numbers for each network that airs national games, and more.
