SPONSORSHIP & PROMOTION
The NCAA is opening the door for college athletes to be compensated for their names, images and likenesses with the Washington Post reporting that the org is examining how its rules can be modified to allow the change. Big East Commissioner Val Ackerman and Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith will head a new working group on the topic. “This group will bring together diverse opinions from the membership — from presidents and commissioners to student-athletes — that will examine the NCAA’s position on name, image and likeness benefits and potentially propose rule modifications tethered to education,” Ackerman said in a statement. “We believe the time is right for these discussions and look forward to a thorough assessment of the many complexities involved in this area.” The American Gaming Association released a new set of self-regulations focused on advertising and marketing legal sports betting. The new "Responsible Marketing Code for Sports Wagering" extends commitments made by individual companies through their own marketing activities and includes self-imposed restrictions on target audiences, outlets and materials branding, while mandating responsible gaming inclusion. The Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum agreed to a three-year, $3 million deal that will rename the venue and current Raiders home as RingCentral Coliseum, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The deal includes an option for a fourth year and will see the return of a naming rights partner for the site since 2016when Overstock.com pulled out when the Raiders announced plans to move. DIGITAL, DATA & TECH
UFC and Weibo locked in a new strategic alliance that will see China’s leading social media platform become the “Official Social Media platform” of UFC in the country. The deal will give thousands of MMA fans in China access to UFC live event content including athlete and executive interviews, fight highlights, fight night results, athlete metrics, fight announcements and more. “We are honored to announce our landmark partnership with Weibo, the leading social media platform in China that has led the industry for the past 10 years and has amassed over 400m active monthly users,” said UFC Senior Vice President Asia-Pacific, Kevin Chang. “We are the very first MMA promotion to enter into an official partnership with Weibo to leverage its massive reach and promotional support, which will propel the brand to new heights and solidify our place among mainstream sports in China.” The United States Golf Association launched the official US Women’s Open app, powered by Cisco, designed to offer fans with an immersive mobile experience for the 74th Championship at Country Club of Charleston from May 30 – June 2, offering real-time scores, live streaming video, stats, news and highlights of their favorite players via the event app. ESPORTS
The National Hockey League released its lineup of corporate partners for the 2019 NHL Gaming World Championship, with on-site activation plans for the Live Regional Finals and World Final. Returning partners Honda and Scotiabank will share the gaming spotlight with five newcomers: adidas, ASTRO Gaming, Brisk, Great Clips and MGM Resorts. The first Live Regional Final will take place May 18.
