Episode Notes

George Pyne, Bruin Capital C.E.O. and former IMG president, joins John to explain why the rights game has never been more nuanced, and why sports has become a safe harbor for money fleeing an increasingly commoditized entertainment business. He also lays out what the NBA should know before it plants a flag in Europe, and makes the case that the chaos in college sports is simply the growing pain of its own success.
