Today's episode takes us to Indianapolis, where Telemetry Sports CEO Jeremy Hochstedler talks about innovation in sports analytics and his company's foray into NFL and MLB professional leagues. Teams are turning to data more and more, and his firm is at the forefront of helping teams identify ways to optimize the performance of its players.
But first, we tackle NFL's broadcasting rights, which have been in place for 10 years now, and arguably the world's most successful sports enterprise wants to double its fees. Will Fox, CBS, NBC and Disney give in? Will Amazon become a major player in this space? Early indication is that this will be a tough negotiation.
