Happy March Madness! Hope your brackets are not busted; I have no brackets, as I am emotionally invested in two teams in the tournament that I have helped build, Villanova — who lost Friday — and Louisville, who I watched win in Buffalo on Thursday and play today (Saturday).

Labor issues lead the week here, with a new labor agreement in the WNBA and a new labor leader in the NFLPA. I discuss some interesting NFL and NBA finance issues for the future, with concern from the NFL’s smallest market while the NBA adds two new markets.  And there is more infiltration of sports betting, even though it says it is not sports betting.

Also if you’re around the Philly area, please come to the Symposium I am hosting Friday, more on that below.  And with that dominating my week ahead, no newsletter next week (read this one again!)..

Settle in and learn…
