The city’s women’s volleyball team, Columbus Fury, has new owners.

Married entrepreneurs Andrea Mitchell and Andy Sandler acquired100% of the team from the previous ownership group, which included Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and his parents.

This comes at a time when The Greater Columbus Sports Commission is putting a greater emphasis on women’s sports, including trying to get a women’s soccer team in the city.

Women’s sports are on the rise with increased viewership of the women’s bracket in March Madness and more focus on women in the recent Winter Olympics.

Guests:

• Andrea Mitchell, owner, Columbus Fury
• Linda Logan, CEO/president, Greater Columbus Sports Commission
• Dunja Antunovic, associate professor, sports sociology, University of Minnesota
