The Undeniable Leader with Rob Cressy

Tom Brady's agent Don Yee is one of several partners who are launching the Pacific Pro Football League. The league will launch in summer of 2018 with four teams, each playing eight games, roughly 50 players on their roster. What makes this league so unique and interesting is they want to be an alternative to playing college football by paying the players (roughly $50,000), and training them to be a professional. Brian Cristiano and Rob Cressy dish about the viability of the Pacific Pro Football league. Will there be enough attention and viewership to bring in sponsors? How long does the league need to last before it sees major progress? What is their best case scenario: a player making it to the NFL? Kevin Cattani, sports marketing professor at the University of Dubuque, also chimes in on his thoughts from an academic standpoint (since these players will be forgoing traditional education.) At the end Brian and Rob give actionable advice on what you can implement into your business from the Pacific Pro Football league concept.Our goal of the podcast is to create the best sports marketing podcast and take The Sports Marketing Huddle up to #1 on iTunes New & Noteworthy.
