@PatHarty Pat, stupid question, how does the ruling affect KF’s total wins in the B10, considering he set the record last season? Thx

@ScottDochterman Wondered if IC would do something similar. My guess is no.

AG Jeff Jackson says North Carolina will not join the Live Nation/ Ticketmaster settlement saying "it won't stop them from squeezing fans with absurd fees, trapping artists, and bullying independent venues."

[Don Muret @breakground]

Not really. No breakup of LN/TM, so biz as usual for the most part. Bottom line, ticket prices will continue to escalate.

[Front Office Sports @FOS]

The entire ticketing business, including in sports, is now potentially set for a significant shake-up.

Ticketmaster parent company Live Nation and the Department of Justice reached a proposed settlement to resolve antitrust complaints.

Tyler Linderbaum's deal with Raiders is in fact a monster. $20M signing bonus, $10M 2026 salary, $30M 2027 salary all fully guaranteed. His 2028 salary of $21M is injury guaranteed and converts to full guarantee 3rd day of 2027 league year. So $60M fully guaranteed at signing and likely makes all $81M. (Unless they want to cut him after one year and $60M)

[Pablo Torre Finds Out @pablofindsout]

REVEALED: Whistle-blowers warned the SEC in 2023 that the LA Clippers and Aspiration "disguised" Kawhi Leonard's marketing deal "to circumvent the NBA's salary cap," according to a secret government complaint obtained by @PabloTorre — and signed under penalty of perjury.

@Hlas I know @PatHarty is holding out for Pink Floyd at Kinnick, but it might be awhile.
