Good morning. It’s Monday March 11, 2019 and this is your first early morning Sports briefing.

There are very few collections done for leadership best practices in sports business and media, maybe because those in the know like to keep their great ideas close to the vest. Veteran sports media executive Rick Horrow, along with two other sports media lifers, Rick Burton and Myles Schrag, spent several years trying to cajole the best of ideas from some of the industry’s biggest names for the past fifty years. The result is The Sports Business Handbook, which has essays and insight from over 100 luminaries in the sports media and business, from Gary Bettman to Ted Leonsis, Ann Meyers Drysdale to Kevin Warren and Tony Ponturo to Mark Lazarus. The book also lays out fifty of the seminal moments in sports business from the last half century.

Cynopsis asked Horrow to give the lowdown on the best practices these bold faces names offered up.

Harrow on some of the common threads throughout the sessions: One of the most common points brought up was the flexibility of leadership. Most of the biggest names we know were battle tested early on in their careers, and have been able to be able to navigate a very fluid marketplace as the industry changed around them. Those who couldn’t haven’t lasted. The other point is listening. When you get to a high point of your career some would say you become inflexible, but those we spoke to almost universally said their listening skills always improved, and with that, they became better learners.

On the need for this book now: As someone who has been in the media industry for a long time, it has always been amazing to me the readiness of some of our best leaders to offer up advice, yet it was always as a one off. We have such change now at a rapid pace, we felt if we didn’t do this now, and chronicle the success of such a wide swath of leaders, they could be lost in time, and for a progressive industry, that’s not a good thing.

On the changing media rights industry: The value of media, and controlling media as a property, has never been stronger. We asked many of those in the book about lessons learned over their careers, and most came back with a common thread; being able to control your message today is more important to drive growth than ever before, and if you rely on listening to those with their hands tied to the past, you are going to miss a lucrative and global future. It is also more important today to have the ability to control your own destiny than to relinquish all you have to someone else.

On the uniqueness of sport vs. other industries: It is by far that everything that is done; live games, media rights, fan engagement, brand marketing, is tied to the emotional component of sports. We are a business of aspiration and inspiration, and I think that is hard pressed for someone in law (and I’m a lawyer), finance or accounting to say. It is a billion dollar business, but the emotional tie of the fan experience is priceless.

On lessons learned for the industry going forward: By far the growth of women and minorities into the industry is critical. Almost every male in the book pointed to the fact that they learn more from a diverse workforce today than ever before, and we have to be focused on creating more opportunities for people of diverse backgrounds if we want to keep growing as a global business. The second key lesson is also tied to that; we all gave to think more globally to uncover new streams of media, revenue and frankly, fans. Those tied to the traditional are going to suffer.

PROGRAMMING

Gennady Golovkin, aka GGG, finally found a new home, with the former unified middleweight world champion inking a three-year, six-fight contract with DAZN. The first fight of the agreement will take place on either June 8 or 15 with an opponent and site to be determined. The deal sees Golovkin set to fight twice per year under the deal, in addition for GGG Promotions to promote two cards per year that Golovkin does not fight in 2020 and 2021. "Gennady Golovkin is a generational talent with international appeal," DAZN Group executive chairman John Skipper said in announcing the deal. "We're confident he will bring his passionate fans to the platform as we produce tentpole events with his team over the next several years."

The New York Yankees are partnering with Amazon, among others, to buy back the YES Network. According to the AP, the deal is valued at $3.47 billion and hands Amazon with rights to stream Yankees games within the team’s regional territory. In addition to Amazon, Yankee Global Enterprises partnered with Sinclair Broadcast Group for the channel which amounts to an 80% stake.

ESPN will nearly double its normal NFL programming hours leading into the start of NFL Free Agency with more than eight hours of NFL Live and SportsCenter Special shows dedicated to breaking news and analysis, March 11-13. Adam Schefter, Chris Mortensen and Josina Anderson and reporter Dianna Russini will offert breaking news on player signings, trades and more.

NBC Sports unleashed a new golf podcast – The Rory & Carson Podcast – hosted by four-time major champion Rory McIlroy and The Voice/TODAY show host Carson Daly. The monthly podcast launched on GOLFPASS where they will take on topics from golf to rugby, TV, music, sports and entertainment.

Speaking of podcasts, Julie Foudy’s latest espnW foray launched Friday, titled Laughter Permitted with Julie Foudy. The debut episode features World Cup champion and Olympic gold medalist Abby Wambach and her wife, best-selling author Glennon Doyle, and is available on the ESPN App, Apple Podcasts, and wherever podcasts are available.

RIP to sports writer Dan Jenkins, who died Thursday at 89. Jenkins is best known as a golf writer, with a career that saw him cover his first major in 1951 and would attend more than 200 more.

Capital One signed on to serve as the title sponsor of Augusta at Night.

“Lo/Hi,” the brand-new song by The Black Keys, has been tapped to tip-off Turner Sports and CBS Sports coverage of the 2019 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship. The promotional spot features the band performing the song within the National Championship circle of an illuminated bracket and was filmed in a World War II blimp hangar outside of Nashville, shot from various camera angles and using a racing drone that moved around the band at 50-60 miles per hour to create footage that mimics the “intensity and wild ride of the NCAA Tournament.”

The Red Sox struck a deal with MGM Resorts International to serve as a new casino sponsor of the team in a multi-year deal. The company’s roaring lion’s head logo will appear on Fenway Park’s Green Monster with other signage set to be placed behind home plate and on “Red Sox radio and other team controlled media outlets.” In addition, the club’s annual Winter Weekend will now take place at MGM Springfield casino, which opened last year.

DIGITAL, DATA & TECH

The PGA TOUR renewed vows with social video company Brave Bison, which has worked with the org to drive its presence across its portfolio of YouTube channels since 2017. Brave Bison will continue to work in collaboration with the TOUR's content teams to drive advertising revenue, increase organic views, and generate subscriber growth. In addition, the deal will now expand to the TOUR Facebook page where Brave Bison will help protect its intellectual property across Facebook via rights management as well as advising on Facebook video strategy.

FACEIT is adding Twitch to serve as a platform partner for season seven of ECS, which had previously been exclusive to YouTube. “The community has made it clear to us that Twitch is important to them as viewers, so we’re delighted to be able to offer them access to ECS on that platform,” said Michele Attisani, Co-Founder & CBO of FACEIT. “ECS has broken records for CS:GO viewership on YouTube over past seasons, and now opening up our distribution gives the community more choice on how they watch their favorite teams compete. Season 7 has seen a number of changes to the format and viewing options to ensure we create exciting, engaging and entertaining content.”
