As the first iteration of the College Football Playoff comes to a close, The AP’s Ralph Russo looks back on the impact of the four-team format, and Notre Dame AD Jack Swarbrick says: “Whether it’s broadcast ratings, total attendance, whatever it may be, the game has never been more popular. And I think you have to give some credit to the playoff system for helping to make that happen.” The first season of the CFP was not without its controversy, though, with Ohio State leapfrogging Baylor and TCU, and AAC Commissioner Mike Aresco tells Russo: “It hurt conference brands. Because if you didn’t make a four-team playoff, man, there’s some problem with your conference.” Aresco stops short of attributing the Pac-12’s downfall directly to its struggles to make the four-team field but says: “Did it help the Pac-12? Absolutely not.” Over 10 years, just 15 teams made the CFP, and Aresco notes: “A lot of the same teams kept making it, which gave them a huge advantage in recruiting and probably had a somewhat deleterious effect on some of the other schools that were competing with them. Because if you’re in the playoff time and time again, kids want to play in it.” The CFP has also had an impact on the rest of the bowl system, Russo observes, noting the “nadir came last weekend when a shell of an unbeaten Florida State team that was left out of the CFP lost to Georgia in the Orange Bowl by 60 points.” More from Russo.

As part of his sports law predictions for 2024, Sportico’s Michael McCann believes NCAA President Charlie Baker will attempt to settle ongoing litigation on multiple fronts. “Settlements would call for the NCAA and member schools to pay hundreds of millions or billions of dollars to resolve past harms to athletes. Former and current college athletes would be paid, and their attorneys would net healthy cuts, too. … What methodologies should be used to determine how much money each player gets? That question could lead to sharp differences of opinion, including among star and ordinary players and among athletes who play different sports, are on different teams and at different schools. Baker would also need to craft a plan that member conferences and schools—as well as their insurance companies and financial backers—could accept.” McCann also believes there is a strong chance the NLRB petitions involving Dartmouth and USC could succeed, but appeals will likely drag the process into 2025 or beyond. Meanwhile, the Power 4 is likely on the path to further contraction, as McCann notes some schools can afford to pay the players wages, share TV money and still comply with Title IX. “Provided the NCAA changes amateurism rules, the athletes at these schools could remain as students. There’s no law preventing a school employee from also being a student. That won’t be the world in 2024, but if the Pac-12 folds and the ACC struggles to maintain its membership in 2024, that world won’t be so far off.” More, including potential outcomes in Diamond’s bankruptcy proceedings.

The New York Times’ David Fahrenthold and Billy Witz examine the roles NIL played in helping Michigan, Washington, Texas and Alabama reach the College Football Playoff, particularly through collectives. Crimson Tide WR Isaiah Bond says the payments from collectives are welcome and long overdue. “It’s the least they could do, is pay us a little bit for the hours we put in. We’re walking around some days like we’re 85 — and we’re 19, 20 years old.” Bond says he was initially unaware of how much football generates for the university – roughly $131M in Alabama’s case – and adds: “What they’re contributing back, it’s nothing compared to what they’re making. But it helps.” As for who gets what, Elliot Maisel, a board member of the Alabama-focused Walk of Champions collective, says the university has told the collective how much to pay each team. “The coach and the athletic department determine all that. We don’t have that discretion. We don’t want it.” However, Walk of Champions President/former Tide QB John Parker Wilson disputes Maisel’s description, saying the organization is not “controlled, directed or managed” by the university. Maisel also later changed his account, explaining that even though he’d been on the board since February he didn’t know how the money was distributed. Fahrenthold and Witz go on to examine how each school has used collectives to its advantage and note that Michigan OL Trevor Keegan says he’s received or expects to receive between $225K and $500K through the Champions Circle and Hail Impact collectives this season.

The Deseret News last week asked a state court in Utah to throw out a complaint five Utah universities (Utah, Utah State, Utah Valley, Weber State and Southern Utah) filed challenging a State Records Committee decision that declared college athletes’ NIL contracts public records. The outlet also wants a 3rd District judge to let the decision stand and order the schools to provide the documents “because the public interests favoring disclosure of the records are greater than or equal to the interests favoring nondisclosure.” Attorneys for the universities contend the records are not subject to disclosure because NIL contracts are protected under FERPA and not related to government business.
