Travis Parrott 2009 US Open Mixed Doubles Champ headlines this weekend's edition of SBR

Good show planned for you this weekend on Sports Business Radio. Travis Parrott the 2009 US Open Mixed Doubles champ joins us to discuss his big win in NYC and the life of an elite pro athlete who is not paid like an elite pro athlete. We talk all of the time about the cartoonish money A-Rod Kobe and LeBron make but we'll let you hear from an athlete who travels the globe on a budget and who only makes money when he wins. Parrott will also share his amazing backstory behind winning the Open as an unranked team with his partner Carly Gullickson. Paul Swangard the Managing Director of the Warsaw Sports Marketing Center at the University of Oregon will also join us this weekend to recap his recent trip to China. We will also discuss the amazing legacy of Dr. Myles Brand the former NCAA President and University of Oregon President who died this week of pancreatic cancer. And I'll give you my thoughts on Serena Williams' meltdown at the US Open and weigh in on how that blowup may affect her image with her sponsors like Nike and Oreo and the consumers that buy products from both of those companies. You can catch us nationwide on Saturday at 3pm ET/12 Noon PT. We'll be on the air and taking your calls in Portland following Seahawks football on 95.5FM The Game on Sunday between 5pm and 7pm.
