Coyotes Update: Reinsdorf Officially Enters the Fray
The Biz of Hockey :: The Business of Sports Network —
In an expected move and after most likely a bit of arm-twisting from NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, sports magnate Jerry Reinsdorf filed a $148 million offer to buy the Phoenix Coyotes. Although the bid is $64.5 million less than Canada’s favorite vigilante wanna-be owner, Jim Balsille, it still is a substantial offer. The offer may even be enough money to persuade the bankruptcy judge to allow Reinsdorf’s ownership group to purchase the Coyotes and keep them in Glendale, Arizona. During the bankruptcy proceedings, which were instituted last month, Judge Redfield Baum illustrated that he is not necessarily looking to sell the team to the highest bidder or else he would had ruled in Balsilles’s favor on June 15th. Baum, as presiding judge in this ...
David Kahn and the T'Wolves Play High-Stakes Poker By Opening with a Pair of Point Guards
The Biz of Basketball :: Part of the Business of Sports Network —
The NBA Draft is normally all about the players – who’s going to be the big star, and difference maker for a franchise’s roster. Beyond Blake Griffin at No.1, and possibly Hasheem Thabeet for Memphis at No. 2 impact players were thin this year. The draft was none the less compelling last night if for no reason than to watch what David Kahn and the Minnesota Timberwolves were up to. For the past week, Kahn, had been working deals in an attempt to move up the Draft board, by first sending Mike Miller and Randy Foye to the Wizards for the No. 5 pick and reserves Etan Thomas, Darius Songaila and Oleksiy Pecherov. From there, they looked to package picks and possibly a player to try and get Memphis’ No. 2 pick where Thabeet would be ...
NFL Petitions Supreme Court to Hear Antirust Case
The Biz of Football :: Part of the Business of Sports Network —
In a preemptive move intended to secure independence from antitrust law, the NFL is asking the Supreme Court to affirm an appellate court decision in which the appellate court sided with the League. The case involves a challenge from American Needle, a company that manufactured apparel for the NFL up until the League signed an exclusive supplier contract with Reebok in 2000. The most important issue here is whether certain business activities within professional sports leagues are insulated from antitrust scrutiny, such as pooling the trademark rights of its member clubs and then collectively licensing them to the highest bidder. If the Supreme Court affirms the ruling, it could give rise to a backhanded argument by all professional ...
