San Francisco Managing Partner Richard Brand will speak on a panel at the American College of Investment Counsel’s 2026 Spring Investment Forum in Chicago on April 23, 2026.

The panel will examine how sports financings are structured across major leagues and how structures differ among the NBA, NHL, and MLB. The discussion will also address the financing implications of name, image, and likeness (NIL) developments in college sports; the impact of technology shifts in sports media distribution (streaming versus cable) on revenue profiles and covenants; and how integrity issues, including cheating scandals, can affect valuations, risk allocation, and investor protections.

Attendees will gain practical insights into market terms, collateral packages and revenue waterfalls, league consent considerations, and diligence approaches to media and integrity risks in sports-sector investments.
