On today's episode, I give my annual sports business predictions for 2025. I cover a wide variety of topics, including the UFC's media rights deal, the sale of college sports programs, the Chicago Bears' new stadium proposal, NBA expansion, and much more. I know some of these predictions won’t be correct, and that’s okay. The goal isn’t to be 100% accurate. These lists often state things that are completely obvious or have no chance of happening. Instead, I challenge myself to think critically, predicting what might happen based on trends I’ve seen developing over the last few months and years. If you agree with some of my predictions, that’s great! If not, email me at [email protected] to tell me why. I often learn just as much from you guys as I hope you do from me. Enjoy!
