yes they also had the likes of Miguel Cotto, but in terms of being a boxing promoter -- they were a disaster, LOL

BTW, I actually sat in front of Yormark and his wife at the Fiesta Bowl. They were cool, really into the game. The wife actually watches the CIS podcast believe it or not

Over the past few years, we have increasingly been outsourcing various "Athletic Department" functions to Legends Hospitality, the company formed by Jerry Jones.

Legends Hospitality - Wikipedia

This company has been taking over more and more of the functions that were once a part of the Athletic Department.

Here is an article from 2023 when we EXPANDED the Legends "partnership":

University of Miami Athletics and Legends Announce Comprehensive Partnership Expansion

University of Miami Athletics and global premium experiences company, Legends, announced a significant expansion of their partnership.

Here is another article from 2026 when we gave Legends MORE of our Athletic Department functionality:

miamihurricanes.com

Miami Athletics Selects Legends Global as Venue Manager for Watsco Center

Jesse Marks Named Chief Revenue Officer for University of Miami Athletics; Adam Sinclair Appointed General Manager of Watsco Center.
miamihurricanes.com miamihurricanes.com

It looks like the Legends agreements CURRENTLY run through 2028, with a 3-year option to extend. So we could be in business with them for another 5 years.

This is why people have a hard time reaching "Hurricane Club" or "a ticket representative". I can't give all the details here on the board, but there has been a lot of "disagreement" about how various things are being handled.

Rad is not peacefully "retiring". And a lot of people have "moved on" from longtime roles they held at UM.

Fill in the blanks.

thank you. for the background info on Legends

re Rad moving on unpeacefully, that has been reported by our astute local reporters. i'm going to trust our president, rudy fernandez and board members on this, they've earned the latitutde in my opinion.
 
With the official countdown clock for the 2026 FIFA World Cup down to 42 days, a breakthrough years in the making is almost here for a talent management agency that was founded by rapper and media mogul Jay-Z.

"It goes without saying that this World Cup arguably will be the biggest sporting event in the history of sport," Michael Yormark, president of Roc Nation Sports, exclusively told talkSPORT on Thursday.

"You think about three continents. You think about 48 teams -- international teams. It's the biggest World Cup, right? You think about 104 matches.

"I've heard the (FIFA) president Gianni Infantino say it's 104 Super Bowls. And so when you think about that in that context, it's going to be amazing.

"We'll have anywhere between 10 to 16 athletes, clients in the World Cup representing multiple countries. It's a huge moment. It's a huge platform. And it's a huge opportunity for them as it relates to their own brand building."


Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid, Brazil) and Chris Richards (Crystal Palace, USA) highlight the Roc Nation athletes aiming for World Cup glory in an expanded tournament that could create $13 billion in revenue and is expected to take over the United States in June and July.

Yormark said the agency has at least 30 commercial partnerships for players that will be in the World Cup, with brands securing deals to use the athletes' marketing power as an entry point to a tournament that will bounce from Mexico City and Toronto, Canada to Seattle, New York/New Jersey and Dallas in the USA.

"We've been very, very fortunate," Yormark said.

"When you have high profile players -- obviously we represent quite a few players on Brazil, led by Vinicius Junior. He's been very active. He's got incredible partners for the World Cup

"We've got Chris Richards, who we call Captain America, and Chris has benefited from this moment."

"It is one of the finest stadiums I've ever been in. I mean, incredible," Yormark said.


"I give a lot of credit to the Mas family and David Beckham and everybody involved in that organization. To have the vision that they had and to be able to execute that vision and bring it to life is absolutely incredible.

"I've told people ever since I left that stadium that night, which was this past Saturday, that it is truly one of the best stadiums in the world.

"From a sightline perspective, from the overall footprint of the building -- to all the hospitality areas, to the finishings, to the service levels within the building -- absolutely incredible."

Yormark has recently been linked to the Miami Hurricanes athletic director job.

Dan Radakovich will be retiring as Miami AD on June 1.

"Thank you for everything, Dan!" the Hurricanes tweeted.

"From a CFP National Championship appearance to record-breaking GPAs and a 94% graduation rate, he’s leaving The U having made a tremendous impact."


Yormark declined to comment when asked about Miami's AD position.

"We've got a lot of players that we want to support," Yormark said.

"Obviously, Vini and all of our players on Team Brazil. We signed Yan Diomande, who's just having a spectacular year at (RB) Leipzig, and he plays in Philadelphia to start the World Cup.”

"It's a big moment for our players. But it's also a big moment for Roc Nation Sports International, because when you think about having 10 to 16 players in the World Cup -- based on where we came from and where we started -- it's a great achievement for us, as well."
