With the OWL taking the step and dismantling the franchising model, and the assumed same step coming to the CDL in the next year(s)*; What's one step that professional esports leagues need to implement to encourage the growth & fandom that they attempted with franchising? • League based content similar to how Formula 1 has done it? (https://lnkd.in/gtm5nFtW) • More in-person LAN's & less online league matches? • Mandatory community events & signings? To me, it would be really cool to see whatever league takes over, create an all encompassing documentary series similar to the "Drive to Survive" or "Full Swing" productions. This could give the average, un-biased fan a shot at becoming a fan of a lesser-known player because their story was able to be told more effectively than that one player taking the leap and making content themselves, writing a twitlonger that no-one reads all the way through, etc. What are your thoughts here? Should it be entirely on the orgs themselves to bring the spotlight onto their players, or should the league have a stronger say in it?

As the semester comes to an end, I thought I’d share my thesis paper on Sports as an Asset Class. By blending my passion for business and sports, and merging my studies together, I’ve explored how sports franchises have slowly turned into an asset class of its own. Please feel free to give it a read and share your thoughts!

 If you’re into sports, this one’s a must-read! We’ve all seen those jaw-dropping headlines about franchise valuations skyrocketing. But behind those numbers lies the real story—the grit, vision, and relentless drive it takes to build something extraordinary. Andrew Petcash recently shared an amazing podcast clip on what it really takes to build a legacy in sports—and trust me, it’s worth a watch. As Brett M. Johnson wisely says: "You can't treat sports like a hobby." Take Jeff Vinik’s incredible journey:  He bought the Tampa Bay Lightning for $170M, and now? It’s worth $1.8B. But here’s the thing—it wasn’t just about the money. It was about showing up with leadership, belief, and a long-term vision. At FiduciaAI, we get it. Sports aren’t just games—they’re stories, legacies, and connections. We’re on a mission to make those experiences unforgettable with:  AI Visual Overlays that bring fans closer to the action.  AI Sports Agents to help teams and fans unlock new possibilities.  Innovations that are reshaping the future of men’s and women’s sports.  What’s your biggest takeaway from Jeff Vinik’s story?
