The @Learfield family lost one its most beloved team members today, and many of us lost a close friend. Mike Hamilton lived a remarkable life and leaves behind a legacy that cannot be put into words. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved him.
To our team. To every usher at a stadium. To every ticket taker. To every employee of a food and beverage stand. To every team store employee. To every stadium security member. To every AD. To every Commissioner. To EVERYONE who played a role - thank you for getting us here.
Hey GB - from inside the @Learfield walls, to all corners of college athletics, countless people owe you a leadership debt of gratitude. Thank you for paving the way, and thank you for the vote of confidence. We won’t let you down.
Hey team @Learfield.......let’s go!
So I’ve been going into the office a bit more lately, which means I’m not always making cameos in the kitchen at the end of school days. Anyway, I turned to a blank (yet mysteriously dog-eared) page in my notebook today, and this thing happened. Kids, bruh...
As we commemorate emancipation - and continue to echo that Black Lives Matter - our @Learfield team is observing Juneteenth as an official company holiday. My hope is that we take this time each year to reflect on inequality, and to listen, learn, teach, and change. Together.
This is Jeffrey, a long-time member of the @Learfield family. Jeffrey and I work near one another, and the best part of my day is when we get to hang for a few mins and catch up. Oh, and today is a big day. Happy birthday, buddy - thank you for the bazillion smiles.
Today marks a big day for the @Learfield family. This investment by our ownership group speaks volumes for their confidence in our team’s ability to innovate, lead, and grow, and we couldn't be more proud of the people and partnerships that made this possible!
NEW: The three investors in @Learfield IMG College -- Endeavor, Silver Lake and Atairos -- are pumping $242 million of new equity into the college-focused business to support operations and growth opportunities (@SmittySBJ).

This is my 13 yr-old lefty pitcher, watching his hero warm up in game 1 of the ‘17 series. He went to the same elementary school as Clayton, and now the same middle school. And here we are at game 3 in ‘20. He’s been waiting a long time for this moment. Congrats Dodgers!
To @JDonati_TCU and @CoachSonnyDykes - it’s impossible to overstate how special you’ve made this season for Frogs fans, and the entire community of college football. Congrats on such a remarkable run - the future is bright in Fort Worth!
~60% of the final price of beer is brewer + distributor + retail margin. So at ~$2/can retail, a single 12oz beer costs Bud ~$.80. Greater Philly pop is 1.5M. If we assume 30% take rate here (which is crazy high, but it's Philly), ballpark cost of this to Bud = $360k. Brilliant.
Eagles fans 21+ and older were eligible to get a free Bud Light at bars in Philly today. Chip goes to bartender, hand stamp shows you’ve received the free beer.
For companies that span both B2B and B2C, it's rare to innovate in ways that significantly benefit every member of the ecosystem - in our case, fans, school partners, and sponsors. Our incredibly talented data and digital teams have hit that bullseye with Fanbase.
Today we're excited to announce the launch of Fanbase: "Beyond helping our universities deepen their connection to fans, we’re delivering a game changer in college sports marketing, and especially at this moment in time.."-@ColeG13 Full Read: bit.ly/3cJLwOS
