In this week's episode, Josh and Jake recorded a fully remote podcast about how sports leagues responded to the recent outbreak of COVID-19. The situation is constantly evolving and unprecedented. Join us as we go behind the scenes to learn more about the difficult decisions that have to be made.

In this episode of Commish Talks Josh sits down with Bill Lee, the long time Commissioner of the Frontier League, and they share stories from life as Commissioners.

Bill Lee has been the Commissioner of the Frontier League since 1994, the League’s second year of operation.

After graduating from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville with a degree in Mass Communications, Lee played in the Atlanta Braves organization and the independent Lone Star League. He then worked for the Birmingham Barons as their Assistant General Manager and Public Relations Director before moving on to become the General Manager of the Chattanooga Lookouts. While with the Lookouts, Lee was the Southern League’s Executive of the Year in 1989. Just before joining the Frontier League, he was the Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for the Seattle Thunderbirds Hockey Club in the Western Hockey League. Lee was chosen as Marketing Executive of the Year of that League in 1991.

While Lee has been the Frontier League Commissioner, the League has enjoyed great success, expanding into a 14-team circuit with clubs in seven states throughout the Midwest.

In this week's episode, Josh and Jake sit down and play a game of word association. The topics are wide-ranging, and are all responded to from the lens of professional sports commissioner, Josh Schaub.
