Brett Yormark is leaving the conference to take a non sports job per Pete Thamel. He'll be leaving in 2027 and I would guess that will be at the end of June because the financial year turns over on July 1

Excellent write up on the reasoning from Justin Williams:

On Friday, it was revealed that Yormark would be heading the new Milan Sports and Entertainment company for Redbird Capital as its new CEO. He will report directly to Redbird managing partner Gerry Cardinale. At the center of the new MSE will be Redbird’s ownership of perennial European soccer powerhouse AC Milan. But Yormark’s new portfolio won’t be limited there as it will also include other sports and entertainment ventures. That includes the new Generali Stadium being built in Milan replacing the historic San Siro, set to be open for play in 2031. It also includes visions for an NBA Europe team and other business and entertainment ventures in the city.

this seems to mesh with his prior gigs - maybe he figured out that running a league with 16 bosses just wasn't as much fun / as easy as he thought that it might be. good luck to him - he kept the B12 afloat and got UC out of purgatory, so, in my book, he's an ok guy (yes, old movie reference)Comment
