Ourand

News that political and entertainment outlet Puck is getting into the sports business space with the hire of my friend and former colleague John Ourand from Sports Business Journal got me thinking about the terrain of this type of coverage.

And on an episode of The Marchand & Ourand Sports Media Podcast, NFL chief media and business officer Brian Rolapp said that some of the details are still in the works and that other options may be possible.

Ourand also obtained an email that was sent to DAZN employees on Tuesday morning informing them that an unspecified number of employees will be furloughed in the coming weeks.

Ourand goes on to list the players who could be interested in acquiring Sunday Ticket for their streaming services, and it’s the exact list you’re probably thinking of.

Ourand reported that the network is hoping for coaches and executives to show off their softer side, after fans enjoyed seeing them all in their home element during the draft.

WKU’s loss to University of Utah in the NIT semifinal averaged 815,000 viewers, Ourand said.
