If you’re a Formula 1 fan, as my son and I are, you’ll be happy to know that F1 is about to add a third U.S. city to its schedule; Las Vegas. The news was leaked last week, but the official announcement may not come until the end of March.

“For us, it’s less about the number of races, and more about where they are — are they going to complement the championship?” Ian Holmes, F1’s director of media rights, told online sports outlet Front Office Sports.

There is already the U.S. Grand Prix, in Austin, Texas, each year, which is held on the only U.S. track built specifically for F1. This year, the race is scheduled for Oct. 23.

Soon Miami, Florida, will host its first F1 event, on May 8. Hard Rock Stadium, home of the Miami Dolphins, will be outfitted for the race. The race will be the first of 10 in a deal between F1 and the city.

“We want to race in cool places,” Holmes said about adding Las Vegas. “We’re super-happy with how Austin has developed and grown, and Miami is going to be massive.”

This year’s race schedule is set, but Las Vegas could be added in 2023, with one source saying it will likely take place in November.

As currently conceived, the race would take place on the streets of Las Vegas, including parts of the Vegas Strip. F1 would be responsible for preparations such as sealing sewer manholes and adding concrete barriers. The city’s pedestrian bridges would be used as viewing areas.

Life and work schedules have been an obstacle for my son and I, in our attempt to attend the race in Austin. However, with three choices on the calendar each year, there’s a good chance we make it to one of them in the next few years.

More NIL Funds

There is no doubt the NCAA Division I men’s and women’s basketball tournaments are a couple of the biggest stages in college sports.

Now with the advent of name, image, and likeness rules (NIL), athletes can monetize that exposure and already during this year’s tournaments, several players have begun to capitalize.

Gonzaga’s Chet Holmgren and Duke’s Paolo Banchero signed deals with Yahoo Sports to promote its men’s basketball bracket challenge.

Many official NCAA sponsors are also participating. Dollar Shave Club made Gonzaga’s Drew Timme, and his famous mustache, a “chin-fluencer.” Great Clips signed Stanford’s Cameron Brink to promote its brand.

Wingstop has partnered with 11 women who play the wing position. While bedding company Sheets & Giggles partnered with five male and female players who are the most “well-rested,” or have played the fewest minutes for their teams so far this year.

Even before March Madness began, college basketball players were already among the most coveted athletes for NIL, according to data from Opendorse.

By the end of February, both men’s and women’s basketball ranked in the top three sports for NIL compensation. Women’s players earned 18.5% of total compensation, while men’s players earned 15%. Division I athletes made an average of $561.
