Scott Soshnick, Michael Barr and Eben Novy-Williams discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including the betting patterns around the NCAA men’s basketball tournament. At 2-1 Duke is the shortest favorite to win it all since Kentucky in 2015. More money has been bet on Duke than any other team. Also discussed is how NCAA tournament apparel partners made out. Nike represents 40 teams in this year’s tourney, down from 47 a year ago. Under Armour is second with 17 teams wearing its logo, up from 10 last year. Also touched on is Esports being featured on The Simpsons. In Sunday’s episode, Bart became an Esports athlete, traveling to Seoul to compete in a world championship. Co-executive producer Rob LaZebnik said the episode was meant to embody a culture tipping point.
