The Indian Premier League remains the only Asia Pacific sports property priced at the top of the global market, according to new research from Media Partners Asia, which expects growth in the region’s sports rights fees to slow to 1%–2% a year through 2030, down from about 10% a year since 2021. The cricket league earns about $12.4 million a match, in line with the Premier League, MPA said. Korea’s KBO baseball league earns about $100,000. India accounted for more than half of the increase in the region’s rights fees since 2021, and 64% of all fees is now concentrated in the 12 most valuable rights packages.

Ten teams make the Women’s Soccer Big Ten Tournament in November. Nebraska soccer is currently on the outside looking in, ranked 12th. The Huskers drew 0-0 with the Terrapins on Oct. 8 in College Park, marking their fourth scoreless draw this season. Nebraska didn’t improve its postseason resume, as Maryland registered its first conference draw after starting Big Ten play 0-6. After facing five straight ranked opponents, the program's hardest stretch in history, the Huskers' competition eased as they faced the Terps, the Big Ten’s last ranked team. To make the postseason, Nebraska needed to win favorable matches going forward. It struggled to get shots on goal against the Terrapins. Before this game, Nebraska had lost the shot-total battle in four straight matches. NU only had two shots in the first half. In its last win, Nebraska defeated No. 20 Michigan on Sunday, Sept. 27, as sophomore midfielder Karli Williams found senior defender Reese Borer for a header to win in the final minutes. This match started back-and-forth, but the Huskers looked for Borer on two high-quality chances.
