On Monday, TheBusinessOfSports.com released the finalists for the inaugural “The Business of Sports Awards.” As explained on their website, the awards serve to highlight the best in sports business content: “Unlike other sports business awards that recognize the people working within specific organizations, the goal for these awards is to recognize those individuals, companies and websites that create and share the best sports business content and provide the most benefit for the rest of the sports industry.” The Sports Business Exchange team was nominated in two categories. The Sports Business Exchange (journal) was nominated for “Best Alternative Sports Business Content.” Joshua Duboff, TSBX’s Founder, was nominated for “Best Sports Business Up and Comer.” Below is a complete list of finalists in both categories:
