The New Middle Class in Sports Power

In this episode of The California Sports Lawyer Podcast, Jeremy Evans examines how real power in sports increasingly operates behind the scenes—through governance structures, delegated authority, and procedural control rather than public-facing decision-makers. The episode looks at how executives, advisors, and committees shape outcomes across professional and collegiate sports, why understanding internal processes matters for athletes and investors, and what these dynamics signal for the future of sports governance and competition.
