Brady to Bucs Prompts Thousands to Queue For Tampa Tix

Scott Soshnick, Eben Novy-Williams and Michael Barr discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady reportedly nearing a deal to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brady is a rare athlete whose free agency can alter the business landscape of a whole league, and his move to Tampa should swing merchandise sales, ticket sales, betting lines and TV ratings. Also discussed is the NBA increasing its credit line to $1.2 billion amid uncertainty over how long the coronavirus pandemic might disrupt business. Also talked about is the growing drumbeat to cancel or postpone the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, which organizers say will go on as planned.
