Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Randall Boe, Akin | Inside Sports Private Equity & Credit
Q: Do you think you can speed up the growth of emerging leagues, or will it still take 20 to 30 years?
Boe says investors in new leagues will want faster returns, but building a live audience is difficult amid competition for people's time. The Arena Football League experimented with affordable, social game experiences, while Boe emphasizes that leagues also need to build media value.
Randall Boe, Akin | Inside Sports Private Equity & Credit
Q: What have you seen in the college sports world, and where is it going?
Boe says college sports are following professional leagues toward greater institutionalization. The House settlement allows schools to share revenue with athletes, and proposed legislation could add a retention fund, raising the potential compensation cap to roughly $50 million. Schools will need to increase revenue, improve facilities and develop professional operations.
Sophia Whitesell,The Giving Game | Unlocking the True Value of Athlete Foundations
Q: How do you protect the athlete so they're not exposed, but also make sure that we're able to show up or put them out in a position to be the superstar and not just let capital be the leading factor in it?
Whitesell asks athletes about their goals and lets them guide the campaign. She says many primarily want more awareness, and fans can contribute through sharing, volunteering and learning about the foundation without spending money.
Sophia Whitesell,The Giving Game | Unlocking the True Value of Athlete Foundations
Q: What is The Giving Game?
Whitesell describes it as an athlete-led philanthropic media platform that interviews athletes about their personal stories and foundations, promotes each foundation through a seven-day social media campaign, and publishes interactive children's books.
#351: Nery Gomez, BlackSun Private Equity | Building a $1B+ Sports Ecosystem
Q: What are some things that could not be the best, other factors coming into the space or dynamics? Are there any things you're looking at going, like, hey, this isn't great?
Gomez identifies risks from outside media-rights partners and short-term investment strategies. He says owning connected assets can limit value leakage, while durable sports ventures need community support and planning beyond simply funding teams or attracting athletes.
