According to MJBizCon, 30,000 cannabis professionals from all over the globe descended on Sin City to see the industry’s latest and greatest. They weren’t disappointed.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:53:02 GMT

LAS VEGAS — NCAA president Charlie Baker took his case for reform to the public on Wednesday. He was compelling, candid, feisty, passionate and so very real — everything his predecessor, Mark Emmert, never was or could be.The proposal creates a subdivision for the top football programs and allows athletes to be paid directly from their schools. It would radically change college sports generally and college football specifically.It’s exactly what the association needs, only years too late. It’s proactive but defensive, impressively creative but rooted in desperation.“We need to be able to anticipate where conversations are going and to try to get this big, huge, diverse (association) with 2,000 members … to a place where they’re talking about stuff that’s common and not just responding and reacting to other people’s agendas,” Baker said Wednesday during a hotly anticipated appearance at the Sports Business Journal’s In...
