Can you imagine the NFL RedZone without Scott Hanson? Soon, you may have to. Hanson’s contract with NFL Media, which he signed in 2021, expires after the upcoming season, Front Office Sports has learned.

After more than two years of singularly pushing to build a downtown Philadelphia arena, the 76ers are at least entertaining the notion of building a facility in Camden, N.J. Marking a significant turn in a long-simmering venue issue in the City of Brotherly Love, the state of New Jersey has directly pitched the 76ers to abandon their plans to construct an arena in Philadelphia’s Center City, and instead locate the project in Camden, just across the Delaware River. The Garden State’s pitch comes with an offer of up to $400 million in tax credits toward an arena and mixed-use development. The 76ers’ downtown plan involves entirely private financing.

The NCAA isn’t the only entity trying to force the terms of name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals to become public. Last week, the California state legislature passed an amendment to its existing NIL law requiring any deals worth $5,000 or more to be reported to their schools, who will then publicize the information in anonymized data separated by sport and gender. The amendment is currently awaiting Gov. Gavin Newsom’s signature.
