Sports news happens 24-7. Perhaps the Final Four game is taking place and everyone’s checking the score.  Maybe Buster Posey’s stats went up, or Tom Brady just made a touchdown pass.  Fans who like to regularly follow their favorite teams need access to this information via the devices, apps, social networks, and/or media outlets of their choice.

Every large enterprise periodically accumulates what we call "tech debt". It happens even in very well-run companies, those that have built-in processes designed to adapt quickly to capitalize on emerging opportunities, or cope with unexpected problems. In essence, to respond rapidly to these and other market shifts, they have to implement new technologies. Then, with the next shift, they have to do it all over again, basically starting from scratch each time.
