Ohio State has zeroed in on Texas A&M AD Ross Bjork to replace outgoing Buckeyes AD Gene Smith, as first reported by ESPN’s Pete Thamel. Meanwhile, The Athletic’s Nicole Auerbach reports that a “deal has not been finalized, but the process is trending in that direction and could be completed within a matter of days.” (link)
|
More from Thamel: “Bjork's expected hiring brings a paradigm shift for Ohio State athletics in the wake of the retirement of longtime athletic director Gene Smith, signaling a change in direction under new president Ted Carter, who began his tenure in recent weeks. For years, the parlor game at athletic director conventions had been: Which one of Smith's successful Ohio State proteges would replace him at Ohio State? There were always plenty of potential candidates who had worked under Smith, including Washington State's Pat Chun, Pitt's Heather Lyke, Utah State's Diana Sabau and UCLA's Martin Jarmond. Carter's targeting of Bjork indicates a preference for a fresh start over institutional knowledge.” (link)

Connecticut reports total expenditures of $93.1M in 2023, and the Huskies received a total of $30.2M in institutional support. That figure is $16.3M less than the $46.5M the athletic department received in 2022, which included a $13.4M payment to former Men’s Basketball HC Kevin Ollie. The overall subsidy, with student fees taken into account, was $53M in 2022 and $35.8M in 2023, per CT Insider’s Mike Anthony. Football operated at a $14M deficit in 2023. Overall, UConn generated nearly 60% of its own revenue in 2023, up from 44% in 2022. Huskies AD David Benedict: “For us, the challenge is that in a college athletic environment and higher ed, costs continue to go up, budgetarily. When tuition and fees go up, that impacts our budget. When unions negotiate to increase salaries, those are things that I don't have any control over that add expenses to our budget. So our challenge is to try to keep pace with not only those increases, but all the other increases we have to deal with, like travel costs, which are not the same for most of my peers on campus.” (link)

Marquette has received a $3M gift from former men’s basketball student-athlete/NBA Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade that will extend the Tragil Wade-Johnson Summer Reading Program, establish the Wade Scholars and support a new men's hoops practice facility in a future expansion of the Athletic and Human Performance Research Center. President Michael R. Lovell: "Dwyane has been an inspiration across the world, and his legacy is so much bigger than basketball. We are proud of the way Dwyane represents our Marquette mission. His generous gift will make a major impact on the lives of our current students as well as future generations, and it will significantly elevate our men's basketball program." (link)

Florida Football HC Billy Napier is not on the so-called hot seat, according to Gators AD Scott Stricklin, who explains: “It’s a made-up term. People can put them on whatever list they want. It has nothing to do with reality.” Looking ahead to next season, Stricklin says Napier “made tough decisions there that were definitely the right decision. That’s going to have a big impact.” All that said, Stricklin acknowledges the angst in the fan base. “I get it. It comes back to the record. You make a field goal against Arkansas and you stop a fourth down at Missouri, the record is still not what we want, but it’s a different conversation; the temperature’s come down a little bit. [...] Our overall roster is going to be older. Older teams beat up younger teams. You look at the teams that played in the College Football Playoff; there were a lot of veterans on those teams. One of the keys in college football — really, in all college sports these days — is you need to be old and you need to figure out a way to stay old.” (link)

Stanford Women’s Basketball HC Tara VanDerveer this season will pass former Duke Men’s Basketball HC Mike Krzyzewski for the most wins by any college coach – men’s or women’s – and talks with the New York Times’ Glenn Kramon about what she’s learned along the way. First, she emphasizes the importance of making the right hires. “As my dad said, ‘You can’t win the Kentucky Derby on a donkey.’ And not just players but staff. Be sure they complement you more than compliment you. Have a vision for your players, and give them the tools. Maximize people’s strengths and minimize their weaknesses. Don’t be the center of attention. Don’t micromanage, and seek input. Outwork the players on your team. Take care of yourself — eat and sleep right, and exercise — so you can take care of one another. If you can’t swim, you can’t rescue the other swimmer, and you’ll both go down.” VanDerveer also advises learning the art of the “controlled meltdown,” noting that only once in her career does she remember losing her cool – about 35 years ago before a game against Purdue when the team wasn’t warming up with enthusiasm. “Before the game in the locker room, every player got a piece of my mind. Yes, we beat them. It was the only game Purdue lost in a 34-1 national championship season. But I didn’t feel good about it. These were college women, and I wanted to treat them as adults. It wasn’t who I wanted to be.” Full Q&A. (link)

Disney Advertising President Rita Ferro remarked during last week’s Consumer Electronics Show that despite increased focus on streaming, linear will still remain a vital platform for the company. “I don’t think linear becomes irrelevant. There is still a business for linear. We know the importance of linear as part of our overall ecosystem. … Linear is declining, not all linear’s declining equally.” Sports programming, Ferro noted, will remain important as it relates to driving ad sales on DTC and linear platforms. “Sports in particular drives simultaneous watching of content. When we have concurrent viewership, it creates more of a cultural moment. …Sports is really one of those great opportunities.” As such, the company may begin to further emphasize sports on networks like ABC while simultaneously focusing on more scripted content with a longer shelf-life on streaming. “I do see a shift in how we use that real estate space, as it were, across our broadcast platforms. … Sports is a massive part of that opportunity and no one does sports like ESPN. Being in the sports business doesn’t mean hosting a celebrity golf tournament or airing a game once a week.” (link)

The Wall Street Journal’s Trefor Moss profiles Adidas CEO Bjørn Gulden, who gave out his cell phone number to all 60K of the company’s employees and says over a period of time he was contacted up to 200 times per week, often by people who urged him to reform the company. The challenge from that point on, Gulden tells Moss, was “to wake up the people who didn’t understand we were losing. … Our industry isn’t that complicated, [but] there was a culture of finding reasons not to do things.” Gulden, who led Puma during a decade when its sales tripled and Adidas’ rose by 55%, began at Adidas by ignoring reports from consultants and streamlining the reporting chain, which previously had too many “lame ducks.” Now, more department heads report directly to him. He also, Moss observes, “largely scrapped an evaluation system involving hundreds of so-called KPIs—key performance indicators by which managers are judged—which he said smothered executives with pointless box-ticking exercises.” Moss also notes Gulden has loosened the purse strings on travel costs and prefers product developers to develop personal relationships with suppliers. “Now instead of getting on a call with a supplier, you travel to Vietnam and you stay in Vietnam until you’ve finished the shoe.” More.
