WAITING TO SEE SPORTS EXPLODE
IN HAPPENED IN. IT LOOKS LIKE A
LOT OF
YOU KNOW STICKING WHICH IS
GREAT SO EVEN AS TRADITIONAL
SPORTS COME BACK PEOPLE WHO GOT
INTO E-SPORTS SEEM TO BE LIKING
CONTINUING TO PLAY.
WE SAW TABLE TENNIS AT ONE
POINT WAS OUR BIGGEST BETTING
SPORT BY FAR
SO WE INTEGRATED STREAMING FOR
THAT WILL SEND A G-RATED
STREAMING FOR SOME OF THE OTHER
SPORTS LIKE
INTERNATIONAL SOCCER THAT WAY
THEN YOU KNOW WHEN THOSE SPORTS
WHERE THE THINGS PEOPLE ARE
MOSTLY BETTING ON BUT IT MAY BE
HARDER TO WATCH THEM ON
TRADITIONAL TELEVISION CHANNELS
IN THE U.S. THAT A WAY TO DO
IT. NOW THAT WE'RE SEEING
TRADITIONAL SPORTS COME BACK
REALLY IT STARTED WITH. PGA WAS
A BIG BOON TO US WE SAW A LOT
OF GROWTH AND THEN AND NASCAR
AS WELL THE PGA.
TORQUE SEASON PGA TOUR HAS BEEN
ABSOLUTELY HUGE FOR AND THEN
YOU KNOW AFTER THAT THIS LEAGUE
BASEBALL
BASKETBALL HOCKEY. AND THEN
MAPPING INTO THE NFL WHICH IS
BASICALLY YOU KNOW NFL SEASON
IS THE EQUIVALENT OF OUR
HOLIDAY SEASON.
>> WHAT ABOUT COLLEGE SPORTS
JASON, A FOOTBALL OF COURSE THE
BIG 10 IT'S NOT HAPPENING.
THE PAC
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT
STRATEGY FOR THE NC DOUBLE A
THAT SOME OF THESE LEAGUES ARE
GOING TO PLAY AND SOME ARE NOT.
>> IT'S REALLY INTERESTING AND
I THINK IT SHOWS YOU THAT.
YOU KNOW THE WAY AND SEE THE
COLLEGE SPORT, GAMES THAT IF
YOU SEE THE WAY THE COLLEGE
FOOTBALL AND COLLEGE BASKETBALL
ARE STRUCTURED AS WELL AS
REALLY ALL
COLLEGE SPORTS. IT'S MUCH MORE
IN MANY WAYS ABOUT THE
CONFERENCES IN THE NC DOUBLE A
THERE REALLY
ALL RIGHT YOU KNOW QUOTE
UNQUOTE LEAGUE WIDE POLICIES AT
THE NC DOUBLE
A LEVEL THE SAME WAY THERE
MIGHT BE AT SOMEWHERE LIKE THE
NFL OR MLB
NBA NHL. AND YOU KNOW THE
CONFERENCE'S OF OBVIOUSLY IN
SOME CASES CHOSEN TO GO IN
DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS AT A
PRUDENCE WE TOOK ALL COLLEGE
SPORT REVENUE OUT OF OUR IN
TERMS OF WHERE WE HAVE GUIDED
THE REST OF THE
YEAR SO YOU KNOW WE WERE
COUNTING ON ANY GAMES LOOKS
LIKE WE HAVE A NICE LATE THE
SATURDAY. SO HOPEFULLY IF THAT
CONTINUES. WE'LL HAVE SOME
UPSIDE
THERE BUT. REALLY YOU KNOW MORE
THAN ANYTHING WE'RE JUST HAPPY
TO SEE THAT PEOPLE ARE PLAYING
AND HOPEFULLY THEY'LL BE ABLE
TO DO SO IN A SAFE WAY I THINK
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THE
COUNTRY TO SEE SPORTS GO.
I THINK EVEN BEYOND US WANTING
TO WATCH SPORTS PEOPLE VIEW IT
IS LIKE ALMOST A LITMUS
TEST OF HOW PREPARED WE ARE AS
A COUNTRY TO HANDLE WHATEVER IS
COMING UP AND I THINK IF THEY

COLLEGE SPORTS ALL DAY
