The Future of Athletic Department Growth

[DawgFromOxford]

Interesting read on the potential of new money flowing into college athletic departments https://www.sportico.com/business/finance/2024/collegiate-athletic-solutions-redbird-weatherford-college-sports-fund-1234779859/

Long story short: Private equity funds are looking at giving upfront money to college athletic departments in exchange for a percentage of revenue generated.

"The new venture plans to initially partner with five to 10 athletic departments, offering $50 million to $200 million to each."

The company I work for does this sort of thing except we do it on the home market. It’s an interesting concept.

This. Private equity can get you f’d up quick. They are in it for the money and only the money. They will tank a business if there’s money to be made in tanking it.
