The business behind the franchise

David M. Rubenstein frames professional sports ownership as a meeting point of finance, negotiation, media, and organizational leadership. Conversations with owners including Robert Kraft, Jeff Lurie, Ted Leonsis, Clara Wu Tsai, and Tom Ricketts provide the book’s structure, with topics ranging from franchise acquisitions and valuations to media rights, sports betting, and the fan economy. The discussion also addresses how owners approach leadership and the creation of championship cultures. The result is a business-focused look at the decisions and financial mechanisms surrounding major sports franchises, rather than an account centered on play-by-play action.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People interested in the business and finances of professional sports
  • Readers curious about franchise ownership, media rights, and sports leadership
  • Sports fans interested in perspectives from team owners
