From Player to Owner | California Sports Lawyer® Podcast with Jeremy Evans
In this episode of The California Sports Lawyer® Podcast, host Jeremy Evans explores the evolving pathway from athlete to team owner and investor—examining how today’s players are leveraging capital, brand equity, and strategic partnerships to move from the field of play into the boardroom.
The episode analyzes the legal, financial, and governance structures that shape ownership opportunities in professional sports, the barriers athletes face in acquiring equity stakes, and how league rules, private equity, and institutional capital are reshaping who gets to participate in team ownership. It also considers what this shift means for long-term wealth creation, representation in leadership, and the future control of sports franchises.
(Season 8, Episode 7).
