Browns Ending Relationship With Cleveland Clinic After 40 Years

The Browns are “ending a partnership with the Cleveland Clinic that spans almost 40 years.” The team reportedly will switch medical services to University Hospitals, which will supplant the Clinic “as one of the franchise’s major corporate sponsors.” The deals are “separate entities to comply with NFL policy.” The UH sponsorship deal is believed to be worth up to $30M over 10 years (ESPNCLEVELAND.com, 12/26).

A statement from the Cleveland Clinic was “ambiguous, though the wording indicated that the hospital system might not be willing to shoulder the multimillion dollar cost of an NFL sponsorship” (CLEVELAND.com, 12/26).
