Join hosts Michael Barr, Damian Sassower and Vanessa Perdomo for a look at some of the latest headlines and stories in the business of sports. 

For the first time in the 10-year history of Bloomberg's March Madness bracket challenge, there is a back-to-back winner: dating app Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd. Vanessa discusses this year's challenge that sees entrants donate money to charity. Plus, we recap this year's NCAA tournament. 

Then, Bloomberg News global business reporter Ira Boudway joins to break down his reporting on the growing divide between the MLB's wealthiest franchises and those with smaller payrolls and how it impacts play on the field. 

Finally, VOW founder and CEO Jennifer Brisman joins to discuss her company's BSB event and guest management platform, the "experience economy" and how they use technology geared at improving the live sports experience.
