Sports Business Daily released its anual list of the 50 Most Influential People in Sports. Topping that list, after moving from No. 3 in 2011, is ESPN President John Skipper.
Following Skipper is NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, MLB Commissioner Bud Selig and NBA Commissioner David Stern. 2011’s No. 1, CEO and President of NBCUniversal, did not crack 2012’s top-50 list.
Other notables include Dallas Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones at No. 18 and the highest ranking female honoree Melinda Witmer at No. 22. NCAA President Mark Emmert comes it at No. 25, four spots up from his rank of No. 29 in 2011.
