Why are private equity firms buying up sports teams? In this episode of Brain Snacks, we break down how private equity is reshaping professional and college sports — from NBA minority stakes to European soccer takeovers. You'll learn why team valuations are soaring, how deals are structured, which leagues allow PE ownership, and what it all means for fans, media rights, and the future of the game. We also explore private credit deals, governance limits, and the growing financialization of sports.

Perfect for anyone curious about the business of sports, investing, or how Wall Street is taking the field.
