Dartmouth men’s basketball student-athletes are university employees and are therefore eligible to unionize under U.S. labor law, according to the NLRB Regional Director Laura Sacks, who finds: “Because Dartmouth has the right to control the work performed by the Dartmouth men’s basketball team, and because the players perform that work in exchange for compensation, the petitioned-for basketball players are employees within the meaning of the [National Labor Relations] Act. Additionally, I find that asserting jurisdiction would not create instability in labor relations. Accordingly, I shall direct an election in the petitioned-for unit. … Like the graduate student research assistants and teaching assistants in Columbia University, and like the football players in Northwestern University, the basketball players at issue here perform work which benefits Dartmouth. While there is some factual dispute as to how much revenue is generated by the men’s basketball program, and whether that program is profitable, the profitability of any given business does not affect the employee status of the individuals who perform work for that business. The basketball program clearly generates alumni engagement—and financial donations—as well as publicity which leads to student interest and applications. The Employer concedes that the players are representing Dartmouth when they wear Dartmouth-branded clothing and uniforms. While students at Dartmouth take part in many extracurricular activities, major media outlets do not pay for the right to broadcast and distribute video of the vast majority of those activities.” Full downloadable 26-page decision can be found here. (link)

In a statement to Front Office Sports’ Amanda Christovich, a Dartmouth spokesperson says the school will appeal the ruling. “Unlike other institutions where athletics generates millions of dollars in net revenue, the costs of Dartmouth’s athletics program far exceed any revenue from the program–costs that Dartmouth bears as part of our participation in the Ivy League. We also do not compensate our athletes, nor do we provide athletic scholarships; all scholarships are based on financial need.” Christovich also notes the Dartmouth team will have the opportunity to hold a union election even after an appeal is filed and adds: “The board usually consists of five people: three Democrats and two Republicans under the Biden administration. However, there’s currently a vacancy in one of the Republican seats. At least three board members would have to agree on a decision, which could take several months. The appeal process could continue beyond this board, however, to a Circuit Court and, ultimately, to the Supreme Court.” (link); An NCAA spokesperson tells Christovich: “The NCAA is in the process of reviewing the Region 1 Regional Director’s decision and its potential impact on all schools and student-athletes." (link)

Dartmouth men’s basketball student-athletes Cade Haskins and Romeo Myrthil called the ruling "a significant step forward for college athletes” before announcing plans to form the Ivy League Players Association for basketball players across the league. “We believe that other athletes will recognize the opportunities this ruling presents and will be inspired to follow suit. This association aims to foster unity, advocate for athletes' rights and well-being, and create a platform for collaborative decision-making. We look forward to working with our fellow Ivy League athletes to bring positive change to the landscape of college sports and the Ivy League." (link)

The College Football Playoff Management Committee unanimously agreed on an undisclosed distribution to the ACC for SMU, “but it's still less than the revenue the CFP typically distributes to Power 5 schools,” according to ESPN’s Heather Dinich. CFP Executive Director Bill Hancock: "I think everybody in the room felt like it was a fair accommodation. They've spent a long time talking about it -- over three meetings." Dinich explains that in the past, schools that made the leap from the Group of 5 conference to the Power 5 saw an increase in CFP revenue from roughly $1M to $6M. In 2022, the CFP voted to give full Power 5 revenue to incoming Big 12 schools UCF, Cincinnati, Houston and BYU. SMU and the ACC were under the impression they would get the same. The committee remains in a holding pattern concerning a format for the 12-team playoff, with all but the Pac-12 in favor of a 5+7 model. Hancock: “It's not done yet because the Pac-12 isn't prepared to vote on it.” The measure needs unanimous approval to pass. (link)

NCAA President Charlie Baker and Ohio Governor Mike DeWine are calling on lawmakers in the state to ban prop bets involving the performance of collegiate athletes. DeWine says in a release: “One year into sports gambling in Ohio, we have seen a marketplace develop where a number of bad actors have engaged in unacceptable behavior by making threats against student-athletes in Ohio and across the country. By amending rules to focus bets on the team and away from individual athletes, I believe we can improve the marketplace in Ohio and better protect student-athletes from unnecessary and potentially harmful threats.” Baker adds: “Sports betting without appropriate controls poses real risks to the well-being of student-athletes and to the integrity of collegiate competition – risks which are heightened by individual prop bets.” If the request is approved by the Ohio Casino Control Commission, the following would also be prohibited: “Any full team proposition bet on a sporting event governed by the NCAA that, while not based solely on an individual, would on average depend 50% or more on the statistical performance of one or two athletes on the team to determine the outcome. For example, whether Team A will gain over 200 passing yards in a football game would predominantly rely on the quarterback’s yardage, likely over 50% dependence.” (link)

Of the Mountain West’s 10 men’s basketball members, San Diego State “regularly rank[s] in the bottom three when it comes to charter flights per season.” The San Diego Union-Tribune’s Mark Zeigler notes that most years the Aztecs “get four legs, or the equivalent of two round trips. This season, they’ve played 10 games away from Viejas Arena. Two were within driving distance. The other eight required plane trips, and the Aztecs flew commercial on all eight. That included close to a 10-hour trip home following a Saturday afternoon game at Boise State, arriving after midnight, when their flights through Portland were delayed by winter weather. In New Mexico, the day’s only nonstop to San Diego left 45 minutes after the game ended. The Aztecs instead flew through Phoenix in what became an eight-hour odyssey of delays and missed connections.” Aztecs AD John David Wicker: “Obviously, we want to charter more. There are a lot of needs as you look at running a top-tier Division I basketball program. I’d like a lot more money to do a lot of different things. We just have to take the investment that we have and use it most efficiently. It’s balancing the needs across the board. We’re never going to be Texas. We’re never going to be Ohio State. But we’ll continue to try to build our budget and address the needs of our student-athletes.” Zeigler notes a typical Mountain West road trip costs SDSU $20-25K while a round-trip charter is usually about $50K.

NCAA coaches could vote on changing a rule prohibiting Canadian Hockey League players from later playing in the U.S. college ranks after this season concludes, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, who adds: “Even if coaches go for it, there’s the question of how quickly will the NCAA allow it to happen. So there’s that, but we are headed toward a future of where CHL players are going to be able to play NCAA hockey. The question is when.” Friedman notes the advent of NIL has changed the thinking among many coaches about the CHL’s policies. (link)

The San Francisco 49ers are unhappy with the practice field at UNLV, where the team was assigned to prepare for the leadup to Sunday’s Super Bowl. According to CBS’ Jonathan Jones, a “49ers advance group that includes members of the equipment staff and grounds team traveled to Las Vegas last week to check out the facilities. They feel the grass is too soft for the team to practice on, and the team has considered alternatives. … Sources say this is not a health-and-safety issue as much as it's simply a preference issue. Sources say the current surface at UNLV meets all NFL, NFL Players Association and independent standards. Among the tools the league uses to make sure a field is up to code is the ‘Clegg’ test, which measures a field's firmness. NFL fields have to be at or below 100g (units of gravity) to pass. According to a source, the natural grass at UNLV measures around 50g, whereas the 49ers have a preference around 70g.” The NFL designates one team as the home team and the other as the away team on a rotating basis between the AFC and NFC each year. As the home team this year, the Chiefs get to use the local NFL team’s facilities. (link)

Business of Fashion's Daniel Yaw-Miller chronicles the challenges facing Nike, many of which are “self-inflicted,” and notes: “After decades of rapid, almost uninterrupted growth, there’s an emerging consensus among analysts, industry insiders, loyal customers, athletes and employees past and present that Nike is fast becoming just another sneaker brand. … It’s hard to pin Nike’s problems on any one cause. But sneaker industry insiders trace many of the brand’s shortcomings to decisions made early in the tenure of John Donahoe, who was named chief executive in January 2020. His arrival came amid an exodus of veteran designers, marketing gurus and executives. … The company invested ever-more design and marketing resources into its booming retro sneaker business, capitalizing on seemingly bottomless demand for iterations on vintage Jordans and Air Force 1s.” While that proved successful in the short term, Nike was losing ground in a category it once dominated: performance products. Whether correlative or causal, the result has been a deterioration of Nike’s cultural impact. As an upstart, Nike invited competition with other companies, and Yaw-Miller notes the Swoosh’s rivals are now using that playbook against Nike. The Kicks You Wear publisher Mike Sykes: “It’s what so many brands seem afraid of doing these days. They go out of their way to not mention the competition as if it just doesn’t exist. No, fam. It’s there. Acknowledge it. Tell us why your thing is better than their thing. That’s the name of the game here.” (link)

Missouri is the recipient of a $62M gift – the largest in the athletic department’s history – from an anonymous donor, who has designated $50M for the Memorial Stadium Improvements project and $12M for Mizzou’s Tiger Fund. Tigers AD Desiree Reed-Francois: "This extraordinary commitment is a major step toward fulfilling our vision to transform Memorial Stadium and create the best college football game-day atmosphere in the country. Our pivotal stadium project is not possible without our donor, whose passion for Mizzou's success, coupled with humility, faith and generosity, are unparalleled. Mizzou Football fans displayed their passion last season with five consecutive home sellouts, and our donor's momentous contribution will not only enhance those magical experiences at Memorial Stadium but will greatly impact our student-athletes across every sport as they pursue their dreams as Tigers.” (link)

On3’s Eric Prisbell cites a “prominent source” as saying the SEC and Big Ten’s formation of a joint advisory group is further confirmation the NCAA has "zero juice and that this is all headed toward a super conference model.” The source adds: "Conference leaders don't want their own members going rogue any more than the NCAA does. And the only way to maintain control is to do what the NCAA hasn't been able to do: proactively create a model that will 100% involve sharing revenue with athletes and that Congress will endorse so there can be enforceable rules again.” Another source tells Prisbell: “Given the non-stop judicial threats, the NCAA is no longer in control. The membership can no longer legislate for what it believes is best for the overall enterprise, because if it does not work for one institution or one student-athlete, a lawsuit is filed. This is no way to manage college athletics.” (link)

Meanwhile, Oncoor Marketing President Russell White, who also serves as president of The Collective Association, tells On3’s Pete Nakos the SEC-Big Ten joint advisory group signals a step in the right direction. “The conferences are where so much of the power is, and they’ve given the NCAA opportunities. It’s clear by the announcement Friday that the SEC and Big Ten are just like, ‘OK, maybe we’ll just have to do it ourselves.’ We’ve seen it moving this way. We’re here to work with people. We know the conferences have a lot of the power, and they’re realizing it’s maybe time to step in and do what they do.” White also notes the NCAA “has not done themselves any favors over the past couple of years. And look, Charlie Baker inherited a disaster. Mostly it’s frustration. There are so many gray areas that don’t need to be gray. And there are so many things that the NCAA has had opportunity after opportunity to clarify or to realize, ‘Hey, maybe we don’t need to overreach here or maybe we need to let this area develop a bit more into a free market.’ “We’re not against regulations or guidelines. Collectives aren’t. It’s more about are they common sense guidelines? Do they put the needs and the rights and the opportunities of the college athletes first? … A lot of people in this space realize we need guidelines and partnerships with other stakeholders, but it doesn’t have to be overbearing. Honestly, it doesn’t have to be the NCAA.” (link)

Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde analogizes the formation of the SEC-Big Ten joint advisory group to a “test rocket fired into the atmosphere. It’s a show of strength and a warning signal to the rest of college athletics. A Power 2 move away from everyone else remains an existential threat. Only a fool would underestimate the lust for power and dollars that exists in the industry, and those who have the most of both certainly want more. … Between that, the NCAA’s crisis of leadership and the next wave of impending legal ass-kickings,” Forde asserts that “it’s time to get radical. In an effort to save some semblance of a broad-based, national college sports landscape, the time has come to either let football go its own way or make it go its own way. Not just releasing it from NCAA oversight, but kicking football off campus. Divorce football from higher education, while saving the NCAA tournament as a full Division I event.” Under Forde’s proposed model, football players would no longer have to go to school, and coaches would no longer be employed by the universities. “License the logos and nicknames for use by what would now be professional teams; let them rent out the stadiums and facilities; take a cut of the ticket revenue; but otherwise be done with it. … But if there is one thing that everyone should work together to preserve, it’s an all-comers March Madness. If the SEC and Big Ten break away and try to form their own two-conference basketball postseason, history could and would judge them harshly for ruining the best thing in college sports.” More from Forde.

Rutgers signed a four-year extension to its naming rights agreement with SHI International last month, according to NJ Advance Media’s Brian Fonseca. The deal locks up naming rights to the Scarlet Knights’ football stadium through June 2029, and SHI has a two-year option to extend the deal through June 2031. The extended agreement will pay Rutgers a total of $11.2M over the next six years, starting at $1.55M in FY24 and increasing by an average of $120K  each year before culminating with a $2.15M payout in FY29. If SHI activates its two-year option, it will pay an additional $4.6M — $2.25M in FY30, $2.35M in FY31. Scarlet Knights AD Pat Hobbs: “Our first years together have been, I think, exceptionally good. To extend with them and to have them express the confidence in us that they have, it is wonderful. We’re really looking forward to continue a very, very successful relationship together.” (link)

UCF AD Terry Mohajir talks about the work the Knights are doing to keep pace with their Big 12 peers on the financial ledger and explains that “we are going down parallel tracks and they are equally as important. We've got the facility side, we've got personnel, we've got operating budget, and then we've got recruiting, which is our collective and NIL. And we're behind, we’re competing against schools that have been playing sports since the 1800s. … Last year we showed a new surplus, and you're going to see an NCAA report that comes out this year that  shows our expenses exceeded our revenues by $3.5M. And those are things that I think people are going to react to.” Mohajir also notes the Knights are half-share members right now, while the Pac-12 teams coming in will do so with full shares, so the five-year projections are already being diluted. “We also inherited some other operating debt from years past before I got here, and so we've got to pay off a lot of different things, and we're trying to navigate through all that; however, we still are doing outstanding in our fundraising. We've had three years in a row, I believe, [of] fundraising records, ticket sales records. We're going to continue that trajectory, but after a while you're going to run out inventory. So, how do you make up those deficits? Philanthropic dollars, donor dollars. … We're out there, we're talking to a lot of folks, are doing a great job, we just need a wider net. More donors.” More from Mohajir. (link)

Oregon State reported revenues of $91.58M and expenses of $98.42M for FY23, eclipsing the school’s previous all-time highs in both categories. OSU spent $36.17M on coaches’ salaries, up from $34.76M in FY22. The next highest expense was student aid ($11.35M), followed by facilities maintenance and overhead ($10.28M). Football finished with a surplus was $16.51M, while men’s basketball’s profit was $754K. Women’s basketball finished with the biggest deficit at $3.18M. Football generated $21.61M in media rights while MBB brought in $5.3M. OSU also received $10.82M from the Pac-12 in non-media rights, most of it related to football. Ticket revenue for all sports was $9.95M. (link)

Temple Executive Senior Assoc. AD AD Derek Horne sits down with AthleticDirectorU’s Tai M. Brown to reflect on the changing industry, share insight on navigating presidential transitions and discuss the strategic planning process. Horne has observed an evolution in the industry that included Title IX and equity considerations, a facilities arms race and an escalation of fundraising. He explains how those experiences informed his thinking as AD at Florida A&M and Alcorn State, noting that despite the disparity in resources across DI institutions, all athletics leaders are tasked with leveraging their resources to support student-athlete success and wellbeing. Having gone through two presidential transitions as an AD, Horne says he gives current Owls AD Arthur Johnson the following advice to navigate Temple’s own leadership change: “Do your job. Stay consistent. Make sure people know what you're doing. And remain relevant. I think Arthur does an awesome job with that because he’s an excellent communicator. But he also makes sure that what he does, the board and the president, they're both well-informed. And when you do those things, even if you make a mistake, as long as they know that you're doing your best to represent the institution, you’ll survive, and you'll be fine.” Lots more in the full chat on ADU.

The Athletic’s Ari Wasserman talks with 10 football recruiting staffers from Power 5 schools to gauge what rules they believe should be changed. One says: “The NCAA has worked to make changes over the last few years, but they are small changes that have ripple effects on the entire calendar. It’s time to blow it all up and start over. And when they do so, please have personnel guys in these meetings, people that are in the thick of it and are affected by these changes in their everyday work lives. It’s 2024 and the NCAA still won’t acknowledge the fact that college football and personnel has changed. Give us a seat at the table to provide input, and valuable input at that.” One unanimous conclusion was that the early signing period simply isn’t viable during such a busy time; however, Wasserman notes that opinions on fixing the issue differ. One staffer suggests: “To me, you let the kid sign when he commits. It protects the kid and it holds the team accountable that you can’t switch up when the roster shifts. You need to manage your roster better. It’s not fair to the high school kids to make them wait and then your needs change based on what happens with your current roster.” While pressuring recruits to sign on the spot is suboptimal, Wasserman notes doing so would at least “help curtail non-committable offers, commitment flips and last-second NIL deals that blow up recruiting classes.” Other suggestions include allowing recruiting staffers to travel, eliminating the one-mile rule on official visits, and making the dead periods dead.

St. John’s Men’s Basketball HC Rick Pitino expresses concern for the program’s future in the current landscape: “It’s our first year. Every first year I’ve had, I’ve never had a great team. But I will tell you, I am worried about it. It’s very tough to build. So many football coaches are getting out, so many basketball coaches are getting out. It’s tough to build a program. You have to really innovate, get creative and understand these rules right now — or lack of rules. … It’s a very difficult time in college basketball because it’s free agency and now I think what’s going to happen is [the NCAA is] going to say everybody can transfer. If they don’t like it, they’re going to take them to court. I think the NCAA enforcement staff should be disbanded, not because I dislike them, but they’re of no value at all.” (link)

Two-thirds of the nearly 6,000 prepaid, reloadable University Fancards provided to college bowl game participants were redeemed in the games’ respective host markets, per SBJ’s David Broughton, who notes the “game-branded Mastercard gift cards, each with a value of up to $475” were included in the gift packages for seven bowl games. Additionally, the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Allstate Sugar Bowl and CFP national championship game provided Fancards to the guests of the game’s participants that could be used for concessions payments. “Several bowl committees purchased additional cards to provide to VIPs, their staff and others, leading to a roughly 12% increase in card distribution than what Fancards had initially projected a few weeks before bowl season began. … Nearly 25% of the total spend with the cards has been at restaurants, with another 11% each on groceries and gas.” (link)

Higher ed institutions are adjusting their financial aid timelines in response to the latest FAFSA delay. Oregon State, for instance, has pushed the traditional May 1 deadline back to June 1, and OSU VP of Enrollment Management Jon Boeckenstedt says the delay is reminiscent of COVID in terms of its disruption to the admissions process. “We had two options: we could either stick to our May 1 deadline and deal with thousands of individual requests for flexibility, or we could get out ahead of this and live with the ramifications. … If [the Department of Education (ED)] pulls through and submits the FAFSA info early, by mid-February, say, then we might regret this decision from a planning perspective. But we’re doing this from the standpoint of what’s best for our students, not what’s best for OSU. And we’ll never really regret doing what’s best for students.” That said, he notes there is “no reason to be confident” the ED will meet even its mid-March deadline. “It’s not about when the [Institutional Student Information Records] start coming in; it’s about when we get a critical mass. Knowing that the tentative date to start sending batches—not all the information, just batches—is mid-March doesn’t do much to reassure.” (link)
