Journalist and Yale University lecturer Joanne Lipman considers Spotify's decision to stand by Joe Rogan, even as more musicians follow Neil Young's lead. Spotify's $100 million check to the podcaster brings the company into the debate about content moderation and protections: is it a platform, or a publisher? Tech stocks, which led the market sell-off in January, have been key drivers of the three-day rebound, and Google-parent Alphabet's strong quarter is pushing its stock--and the rest of the tech cohort--even higher. Meanwhile, shares of PayPal slipped over 25% a day after the company provided weak guidance that it blamed in part on inflation.

Will There be a College Football Season in Knoxville? - A Realistic Look At first glance this may seem like another attention getting title with no real substance that we have all grown used to in the media. I assure you. It's not. We are going to dive in and take an in depth look at all of the factors, at least all of the factors that we can have influence on the decision of whether our boys in orange will suit up this year or not. A few of the things that we are going to consider as factors and base our option on are: The money - In my opinion everything starts and ends there. If the money wasn't a factor, this is a conversation that probably wouldn't be happening. So, we are going to take a look at how much the Football program brings into the university, the media and the local community. The main question here is how much risk are we willing to take in order to minimize the financial losses this year? COVID-19 - This may seem obvious, because Corona Virus is the main reason this conversation is even happening, but we can't just look at the numbers and how this virus is trending. We have to also look at pubic option and decision makers thoughts and opinions. What do people really think about this virus?  Safety - Is it actually possible to put enough precautions in place to have fans in a stadium? If it's not possible would the season be played without fans? Fans - If a season were to happen, would fans actually go to the games or would most opt to just watch the game at home and would fans refusing to go to the games possibly change the decision to have a season or not?  Now let's take an in depth look at each of these and make an option based decision to play or not. The moneyHave you ever watched one of those movies or television shows where there's a scumbag lawyer giving some poor family an insanely low settlement check from an insurance company in return for the death of a loved one due to some technicality? It always brings up the question of "what is the value of a human life?" It's a question that can not be answered, but depending on your own personal view of the actual risk involved with paying a season and knowingly putting players, coaches and fans in harms way, could the decision makers of these athletic organizations be assigning a value to a human life? That's for you to decide. Personally, I don't believe that's the case, but the moment one athlete, coach or fan passes away due to the contraction of COVID-19 at a sporting event, that opinion could change. Which brings us to the question of the day. How much is at stake and is it worth the risk? According to ESPN, universities have already suffered losses in the hundreds of millions. "If there's no football season, or if football season is interrupted or shortened, there will be a massive fallout," TCU athletic director Jeremiah Donati said. "There would have to be massive cutbacks. Could the department go on? Sure. It would probably look smaller. There would potentially be fewer sports and much less programming." Patrick Rishe, director of the sports business program at Washington University in St. Louis estimates that the 65 Power 5 schools would collectively lose more than $4 billion in football revenues, with at least $1.2 billion of that due to lost ticket revenue. Each Power 5 school would see at least an average loss of $62 million in football revenue, including at least $18.6 million in football ticket sales, he said. Rishe's projections don't include potential losses in media revenue, conference distributions, donations and revenues from corporate partnerships. In addition, it's been said that major media companies could lose up to 800 Million dollars in advertising revenue. Last year https://www.sportico.com/t/espn/ (ESPN)'s family of networks televised 282 games and sold $792.5 million in ads, according to Standard https://www.sportico.com/t/media/ (Media) Index.

Soccer is big in Louisville. College basketball is huge. So why don't we have a major league team here? That's what we talked about this week on In Conversation, with these guests: Dan Issel, president of NBA2LOU, the business group trying to land an NBA team Kent Oyler, president of Greater Louisville Inc., the Louisville-area chamber of commerce Dr. Patrick Rishe, Founding Director of the Sports Business Program at Washington University in St. Louis The NBA's official position is that expansion isn't on the table. But Dan Issel, president of NBA 2 Louisville, has some doubts. "In talking to some current and former administrators in the NBA front office, their feeling is that expansion is inevitable," Issel said. "Because the owners are always looking for ways to make more money." He said revenue from things like ticket sales and TV contracts has to be split 50/50 between owners and players' associations. But expansion fees go directly into the owners' pockets. "So the feeling is, it's inevitable," Issel said. "Do we know the timeline? No." Kent Oyler from GLI says having an NBA team could attract talent to the city, and increase Louisville's national visibility. "We that live here know our city. We love our city. It's a great place, lots to do, lots of cultural attractions," he said. "But if you get out of the city, and you're trying to talk to somebody that's in Chicago, or Austin, or Denver, they've heard of Louisville, but they really don't know Louisville. We're just not on the radar screen out of town." He said it's important to attract new folks because Louisville's population numbers are flat, and there are around 27,000 open jobs. "And if we want to get more people moving here, they have to start thinking of us." In Conversation airs live on 89.3 WFPL, Friday mornings at 11.
