Brown joined Major League Lacrosse in February 2018. Since taking the helm, Brown has drastically improved the experience and opportunity for players, teams and fans. During his tenure, he has restructured the ownership group, rebranded the league marks and reacquired the league's media rights, leading to exponential growth in nationally televised reach. In 2019, Brown welcomed ten new partners to the league, introduced a creative and sophisticated digital team (generating 194% growth in social traffic, 97% growth in social engagement and 393% growth in web traffic) and achieved a 16% increase in total attendance year-over-year. During the 2020 COVID impacted year, Brown oversaw the most successful year in MLL's history in terms of overall engagement, generating over 150mm digital impressions over an eight (8) day tournament. Further, the league's impressions on ESPN and ESPN + increased by 150% and 1600%, respectively. Brown is an accomplished executive with over 25 years of leadership experience who has spearheaded the launch and growth of multiple sports media outlets. Most recently, he was the President/CEO of One World Sports, where he launched the HD channel across both linear and digital platforms to over 50 million US subscribers through cable and satellite distributors as well as over-the-top (OTT) platforms. In 2010, Brown became President of Univision Sports, the leading media outlet for Spanish-speaking Americans, where he created and launched Univision Deportes to over 15 million US homes. As part of this effort, Brown oversaw the rebranding of Univision Sports. Additionally, he not only supervised the production of the highest rated primetime sports broadcast in the channel's history at the time with the Mexico vs. Honduras match in the 2011 Gold Cup, but he developed Univision's nightly version of SportsCenter, “Univision Deportes Extra” or “UDX” as well as the network's signature soccer pregame program, “Futbol Central”. Brown has extensive experience in the international markets. Based in Hong Kong and Singapore, he launched ESPN's business in Asia while serving as the Managing Director of both ESPN Asia and ESPN Star Sports. Brown's international work in sports began in the late 1980's when he was hired by the NBA to oversee their international television interests in over 100 countries. Brown played lacrosse collegiately at Washington and Lee University and represented the university in the 1985 USILA North South Game.     Follow us on our social sites for the latest updates Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sportsentrepreneurs/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/marcusluerpodcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sports-entrepreneurs Website: https://marcusluer.com Podcast: https://marcusluer.com/podcast To get in touch, please email us at podcast@marcusluer.com   Feel Good by MusicbyAden https://soundcloud.com/musicbyaden Creative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/_feel-good Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/bvgIqqRStcQ

In the second edition of the Business of Sport Podcast with the International Sports Convention, Callum Murray talks to Sandy Brown, Commissioner of USA's Major League Lacrosse. The podcast airs at a pivotal moment in MLL's 20-year history, with the league having just voted to become a single-entity league, discarding the franchise model on which it was founded. The change, which means that the league now owns all six of its teams, comes with MLL facing a major challenge to its business model from the rival Premier Lacrosse League, which launched last year and is competing with MLL for both fans and sponsors. The switch to a single-entity model was made with the aim of saving money through centralising operations, says Brown, adding: “The advent of another outdoor professional league caused us to re-evaluate to become as efficient as possible in how we run our business. We're trying to create greater efficiencies and run a smarter business.” Brown is open in his opinion that the market cannot support two competing pro leagues in a second-tier sport such as lacrosse in USA (he compares its status in the country with that of rugby). So, will there eventually have to be a merger between the leagues? Brown doesn't rule out this option, but in the meantime insists that, to enhance its competitiveness, MLL must learn from the likes of the NFL and NBA and create an entertainment ‘experience' around its games. “The entertainment value, the action off the pitch, has got to be even better than what happens on the pitch,” he says. “If you're a paying customer at any NFL, NBA or MLS game, you've come to expect a certain standard of entertainment and value for your entertainment dollar. The basic principles of the fan experience are going to be critical going forward.” The “bifurcation” of the lacrosse fanbase and sponsorship base between the rival leagues “has not been healthy for the sport,” according to Brown. “It's been incredibly disruptive,” he continues, adding, however, that “out of disruption you can ultimately end up seeing stronger entities.” A top college lacrosse player himself, Brown joined MLL in February 2018 after a lengthy career in sport and TV that has included working with the legendary sports agency ProServe, working under David Stern at the NBA, and a 15-year spell in Asia with ESPN, before returning to USA with sports broadcasters Univision Sports and One World Sports. Other topics discussed in this podcast include: lacrosse's push to join the Olympics; MLL's decision to take back control of its own media rights; and what makes the sport special and different from other US pro sports. “With my international sport background,” says Brown, “I've seen the greatest cricketers, rugby players and soccer players. I'll put our guys up against anybody. Lacrosse is often called the fastest game on two feet. It has all the speed, agility and contact of gridiron, but none of the head injuries.” And Brown's top sporting hero? Michael Jordan, a client when he was at ProServe. “Time and time again, when the chips were down,” Brown says, “he always delivered. Obviously, his business acumen has been very, very strong too.”

This week on #IntotheCosmos, hosts Ej Garr and Frank Dell'Apa review the opening weekend of the fall portion of the 2016 campaign, in which the Cosmos came away with a 2 - 1 win against the Ottawa Fury last weekend. Brian Holt joins us after picking up the win in net for the Cosmos, and we discuss his college days at Creighton University, where he still sits among the team leaders in the history of the school. The Cosmos face Miami this weekend in the Sunshine State, and have a gruelling schedule over the month of July, which amounts to seven games to be played as the summer heats up. Ticket packages to see the Cosmos at Shuart Stadium are at a premium, as the team offers multiple deals to see your Cosmos live and in person. From a $77 package for every home game left on the schedule in the Fall, to the $5 kids tickets for the upcoming game against Jacksonville on the 13th. Be sure to tune in to One World Sports to see the match against Miami at 8 PM ET on Saturday, and Vamos Cosmos!

This week on #IntotheCosmos, your hosts Ej Garr and Frank Dell'Apa get you set for a big weekend in Florida, as the NY Cosmos get set to make their first trip to the expansion club Miami FC's home at FIU Stadium on Saturday, May 7. With three points to make up in the table and only five matches remaining in the spring portion of the campaign, the NY Cosmos look to ride the momentum of a big win at Shuart Stadium over the Railhawks last weekend. Three Cosmos appear on the NASL Team of the Week, one of which being Jimmy Maurer who is our guest this week on the show. Jimmy made three key saves late in the match on balls that had eyes for the back of the net, but the Cosmos keeper rallied to earn his 28th clean sheet in his NASL Career, which is a modern-day record. The Cosmos travel to Edmonton from Miami for back-to-back road games that will help decide the spring title, so tune in to One World Sports at 8PM EDT on Saturday, May 7, to root for your Cosmos!

Welcome to the #IntotheCosmos team podcast, as we arrive to week three in the NASL Spring portion of the campaign. The Cosmos have taken all six points from their first two outings of the year, and are coming off another impressive performance against the Jacksonville Armada this past weekend at Shuart Stadium. Our guest this week is nominated for Goal of the Week in the NASL, as Adam Moffat joins Ej and Frank to talk about the goal, which was assisted by Niko Kranjcar just outside the Armada 18 yard box. Adam also discusses his time in the MLS, the injuries that held him out of last year's post season, while giving us some insight on the preparation for four road games over the next five contests for the NY Cosmos. Vote for Adam's goal on the NASL home page, and get prepared for the big outing with Indy Eleven this weekend! Indy and the Cosmos have met six times over the past two seasons, and neither club has taken three points from the other. Six draws have played out all six times the two have met. Catch the match at Michael A Carroll Stadium (The Mike) Saturday at 7:30 PM ET on One World Sports!
