Scott Soshnick, Eben Novy-Williams and Michael Barr are joined by National Lacrosse League Commissioner Nick Sakiewicz to discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including this weekend’s college football showdown between No. 1 LSU and No. 2 Alabama. It’s being billed as the biggest game of the season, but CBS chose earlier in the year not to air it in primetime, a decision that could hurt viewership numbers. The group also discusses the NLL heading into its 34th season and the growth of lacrosse at all levels, plus a new $600 million funding round for Bruins Sports Capital. Also talked about is a new list of the most valuable esports franchises in the world, which tops out at $400 million.
