Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Playfly Aspire President Gil Beverly on Sponsorship Sales, Fan Loyalty Programs, and More
Q: How do you balance the secondary ticket market with driving in-person attendance and revenue?
The approach is to not fight the consumer; instead, design pricing and experiences that preserve primary market value while offering compelling alternatives that deter heavy scalping, and use data to inform pricing and availability.
Playfly Aspire President Gil Beverly on Sponsorship Sales, Fan Loyalty Programs, and More
Q: Walk me through the process of selling sponsorships for mega properties and how you align a sponsor's goals with a complex product.
Gil explains that success starts with empathy and a clear, easily communicated value proposition. Deals hinge on people's ability to advocate for eight-figure investments, which requires a strong business case that resonates with decision-makers' bosses and boards.
ACC CRO Anthony Macri on Sport Sponsorships, Data Sharing, Private Equity and More in College Sports
Q: Anthony, are you going to be able to live up to those high expectations?
The guest expresses a willingness to perform and build on past successes, highlighting his track record of growing sponsorships and leading multiple organizations, while acknowledging the challenge of meeting lofty comparisons.
Colorado State AD John Weber on the Fan Experience, Naming Rights, his Path to the Chair & more.
Q: What are some things the Pac-12 can look at differently as CSU reemerges in a new iteration of the conference?
The guest explains there are opportunities to build from the ground up with a monetization and revenue strategy in mind, leverage conference assets, and customize sponsorship and partnership approaches to fit a new era, while ensuring alignment among presidents and ADs.
Crakes Media’s Patrick Crakes on Media Rights, The Streaming "Silo" Problem and a CFB Super League
Q: How do streaming platforms fit into the current sports rights landscape compared to traditional pay-TV?
Streaming is additive and selective; it tends to complement rather than replace traditional distribution, with different platforms prioritizing different parts of the portfolio and allowing for strategic reach even as overall costs rise.
