MLB, NBA, NHL Broadcasting Future Goes To Court

The Diamond Sports Group bankruptcy proceedings will have a major impact on the fates of MLB, the NBA, and NHL over the rest of the decade.

The Athletic’s Evan Drellich takes us inside the court proceedings and what they mean for the future of sports media.

Plus, the NFL schedule will be taxing on many teams, but does accommodate the league’s most famous fan, and EA’s College Football 25 marks a new era in NIL.
