Northwestern is “in talks with and is heavily pursuing” Pittsburgh AD Heather Lyke to fill its AD vacancy, according to Pittsburgh Sports Now’s Mike Vukovcan, who reports that “people inside [Pitt] are worried that the threat of losing Heather is not being addressed by the chancellor" and that Lyke is expected to make a decision in the coming days. Lyke signed a six-year extension in May 2018, which means there are only a few months until her contract expires. (link)

Rutgers had been “besieged for months by complaints about head gymnastics coach Umme Salim-Beasley,” who student-athletes say was protected by former AD Pat Hobbs, according to NJ.com’s Brian Fonseca, who reports seven former RU gymnasts and one who remains on the team “described a program in chaos, plagued by allegations of favoritism, bullying and revenge by Salim-Beasley, who fostered a ‘toxic’ environment.” Fonseca also reports the gymnasts “allege Salim-Beasley was unsympathetic toward athletes who experienced mental health issues and physical injuries, tried to take retribution on gymnasts who raised concerns about her coaching methods, and kept churning a roster consistently among the biggest and least successful in the Big Ten. The former gymnasts said Hobbs was dismissive when they sought help from him, yet at the same time they noted that Hobbs was a frequent visitor to team meets, practices and events, and appeared to take an unusual interest in the program.” From one gymnast who met with Hobbs: “We felt very isolated. We felt so hopeless. We were screaming at the top of our lungs: ‘Help us, help us, help us,’ and no one was answering. No matter what we did or said, nothing was being done. We were not being taken care of properly. We are telling the athletic director, we are telling Ethics and Compliance, and they ignored us.” Lots more. (link)

The FBS and FCS Oversight Committees have recommended the sport’s transfer window be modified to one 30-day period, which during the current academic year would be December 9-January 7. The DI Council must adopt the recommendation at its October meeting before it becomes effective. The proposal does not impact the five-day exception for student-athletes competing in FBS and FCS postseason games. In those scenarios, the notification-of-transfer window would also be open for five consecutive days after that team's last game. Additionally, the committees approved a blanket waiver for the upcoming season that excludes postseason participation from the limit of four contests a football student-athlete may participate in without using a season of competition.

Nittany Lions AD Patrick Kraft: “We are thrilled to announce our third Founders Gift in as many weeks for the Beaver Stadium Revitalization project.

Recruiting violations occurred in the Oklahoma football program when Football AC DeMarco Murray impermissibly contacted prospects and their families prior to the permissible time period, according to an agreement released by the Committee on Infractions. Additional violations occurred in the track and field program when former HC Tim Langford directed a female student-athlete to provide some of her scholarship funds to two student-athletes in the men's track and field program. As a result of the violations in their respective programs, the parties agreed that Football HC Brent Venables and Langford violated head coach responsibility rules. Penalties include a one-game suspension for Murray this season and a four-year show-cause order for Langford. During the first two years of the show-cause order, Langford is restricted from all athletically related duties, and any employing member school will suspend Langford for 50% of his first season. Penalties also include, among others, a prohibition against unofficial visits during the first game of the 2024 football season and a vacation of all team track and field records in which student-athletes competed while ineligible.

The Athletic’s Austin Meek breaks down the takeaways from Sign Stealer, the Netflix documentary about former Michigan staffer Connor Stalions, and notes that “hearing Stalions’ version of events is illuminating, but Sign Stealer makes it clear that the main character is anything but a reliable narrator. … One of the most revealing scenes is a recording of Stalions’ interview with NCAA investigators in which he acknowledges receiving video from people who attended games using tickets he purchased under his own name. Later, he tells the filmmakers that he already knew the signals and only accepted the footage because it was offered as favor, an explanation that doesn’t stand up to scrutiny.” Meek goes on to point out that “the question hanging over the whole affair is how much credit Stalions deserves for Michigan’s run of 40 victories in 43 games. Ironically, giving Stalions wide latitude to tell his own tale plays into a narrative advanced by Michigan’s rivals: the notion that he was integral to the Wolverines’ success. … But as the documentary points out, all of Michigan’s biggest wins in 2023 happened without Stalions on the sideline. If he was so crucial, why didn’t the Wolverines miss him when he was gone?” Ultimately, Meek concludes that “Sign Stealer captures that scandal in all its weirdness. But if answers are what you want, you’ll have to keep looking.” (link)

NBC’s Nicole Auerbach shares some photos from her tour of the Big Ten’s new replay center and notes: “No Big Ten personnel are allowed in the replay center on game days.

Saturday’s Florida State-Georgia Tech football matchup in Ireland drew 4.99M viewers to ESPN, making it the largest Week 0 audience since a primetime Miami-Florida game on ESPN in 2019 (6.09M). Compared to last year’s Aer Lingus Classic in Dublin, Navy-Notre Dame on NBC, viewership increased 40% from 3.56M. Two years ago, the Nebraska-Northwestern Ireland game drew 4.42M on Fox. Additionally, the Florida A&M-Norfolk State MEAC/SWAC Kickoff averaged 1.29M viewers in primetime on ABC — also up 40% from last year, when the game pit South Carolina State against Jackson State (922K).

Meanwhile, with the football season set to get underway, UCLA, Washington, Oregon and USC fans are still unsure whether they will be able to get the Big Ten Network through Comcast Xfinity, and Andy Colley, the company’s Senior Director for External Communications, tells JohnCanzano.com’s eponymous purveyor: “The Big Ten Network is offered on our More Sports and Entertainment tier and can be added to our Xfinity Popular plan for $10 a month.” Canzano notes that customers in the region dutifully paid the $10, “but it turns out that things aren’t that simple. A Washington women’s soccer game on Monday night, for example, was blacked out on Xfinity in the Pacific Northwest. And if nothing changes between now and Saturday, Xfinity customers won’t be able to see Oregon and Washington play their first Big Ten football games, either. I’m told by sources that the distribution issue is rooted in a ‘territorial rights’ debate. The Big Ten Network believes that live games should be part of the basic-tier package. Xfinity wants to charge the $10 upgrade. The same issue happened when Nebraska, Rutgers, and Maryland were added to the Big Ten in prior years. Those were eventually resolved, largely because of fan backlash.” Canzano: “Comcast Xfinity told a lot of people that if they invested an extra $10 in the upgraded sports tier, they’d be able to access the Big Ten Network. … That’s not the truth of what’s happening here. Right now, customers can access the shoulder programming, but not live sports games at Oregon, Washington, USC, and UCLA. … I’ll be curious to see if Xfinity softens its stance on the blackouts as customers flee to more reliable distributors. The irony won’t be lost on anyone — the four schools cited broader TV distribution as part of the reason for leaving for the Big Ten. Now, they’re mired in another distribution fiasco.” (link)

In case you missed this morning's D1.ticker edition…

SBJ’s Ben Portnoy caught up with more than 50 administrators, commissioners and industry sources about how the dominoes that began falling with the SEC’s addition of Oklahoma and Texas three years ago have set the stage for the current football season. SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey remarks: “I think what’s happened [since] validates our decision-making. And, in some ways, magnifies our strength. … The announcement created turmoil and turbulence for people. Obviously, it created a need for the Big 12 to adjust, [but] I’m certain there were other conferences reaching out. So, for all of those who want to be critics, I’m quite certain that even before the leak about their interest in the SEC, there was outreach to those two universities taking place, and I don’t feel the need to apologize for the growth.” As the sands began shifting nationwide, Oregon AD Rob Mullens says the Ducks “immediately got some inbounds from the other Big 12 members concerned about the stability of their league and seeking a place inside the Pac-12 at that time. And then we started making sure that we understood our own positioning, that we understood where Oregon athletics was, and we began a little bit deeper work on that front.” The ripples stretched well past the then-Power 5 and into the Group of 5 ranks and beyond, and Loyola Chicago AD Steve Watson observes: “You worry about the public perception of making a move like [Texas and Oklahoma did]. And it was almost like moving conferences was more accepted, and it was OK. I think people started to understand that the schools are going to look for the best fit for them.” Lots more. (link) 

SBJ’s Ben Portnoy continues by examining the financial consequences of realignment and notes that in anticipation of its potential move to the Big 12, Cincinnati invested a combined $90M in its football and basketball venues, increased recruiting budgets from $578K to $1.75M between 2020 and 2023, and hired numerous staffers to better equip the department for the Big 12. Bearcats AD John Cunningham: “I always said that we would get the invite when it made sense for a Power Five conference to give us the invite. And it did at that moment [in 2021], and luckily, we had invested the right way up to that point to make that happen.” While the landscape continues to be murky, Murray State AD Nico Yantko remarks: “The variables have changed. But in the wake of the House settlement, starting to understand where the opt-in opportunities exist, I feel a lot better today than I did two months ago, because two months ago we didn’t know what direction we were running. Right now, we know where we’re going.” (link)

If the vote were to happen today, six Big 12 schools are in favor of adding Connecticut while two are against, according to CBS’ Dennis Dodd, who notes: “Only three more schools out of the remaining eight, then, would be needed to scuttle the move; however, a formal vote on the issue is not imminent.” One person familiar with Monday’s presentation to the presidents tells Dodd: “Nothing was even remotely close to being decided.” Dodd also points out that Fox is against the move. “Adding UConn to the Big 12 would not only devalue the Big East's contract that Fox completed just two months ago, it would also require amending the Big 12 contract. … Sources indicate ESPN, the other Big 12 partner in the current media rights deal, would support the move. The cable giant may be interested because it doesn't have UConn basketball among its rights. ESPN was an early partner with the Big East when the league exploded nationally in the 1980s.” Also from Dodd: “None of the current discussions have anything to do with the league's ongoing consideration of public equity money, sources told CBS Sports. That prospective PE partner, CVC, has told the Big 12 it projects its media rights will at least double by 2031.” (link)

U.S. Congressman Bill Pascrell (D-NJ) passed away last week at the age of 87, and Sportico’s Daniel Libit notes the the ranking member of the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Oversight “had a different financial interest in intercollegiate athletics: finding new ways to tax it.” Pascrell last year told Libit: “Americans should care about these excessive salaries to college coaches that our federal tax code is helping to fund. Universities’ tax-exempt status is an important pillar of our cherished higher education system, but it is not a blank check to dole out huge coaching contracts with lavish benefits.” Pascrell also said that if Democrats retake the House of Representatives in the coming election, one of his “priorities” would be to “explore” tax reforms that directly addressed college coaching compensation. Libit reports the reforms included “subjecting certain, big-dollar athletic departments to the unrelated business income tax (UBIT) and ensuring that the existing excise tax on millionaire non-profit officials extended to cover state universities.” With Pascrell’s passing, it remains unclear whether another lawmaker will champion the cause. (link)

Georgia AD Josh Brooks and Clemson AD Graham Neff talk about their friendship, which they say will be put on hold when the Dawgs and Tigers square off to open the football season this weekend. Neff: “We’ll see how the results fall. I would tell you that however the outcome goes, the team or the school on the losing end will remind our head coaches that the prior ADs actually scheduled this game. … If we or he were to win, we’ll probably take credit for scheduling the game.” Brooks says the two first met in 2017 when UGA made its first trip to the College Football Playoff and consider each other to be among their closest friends in the industry. Brooks: “He’s a great person, a great colleague, someone you can bounce ideas off of. We had a similar journey coming up. … We can be very open with each other. We’re respectful of each other’s jobs but helpful in sharing the right information that can be useful to learn from each other.” Neff adds: “We’re both kind of younger dudes, his AD job was the year before mine, we were both deputies together. It’s stitched together for quite some time. It’s pretty cool.” Brooks goes on to say: “These jobs can be lonely. When you’re sitting in this chair, you need friends who are sitting in similar chairs that are going through the same challenges you are. You can just discuss ideas or just commiserate sometimes.” (link)

Memphis AD Ed Scott understands there is still a getting-to-know-you process when it comes to fundraising for the Tigers and tells The Daily Memphian’s Frank Bronner II: “People don’t know me yet. They know the persona, the press conference and all that. If they’re going to give money to the athletic department, in my experience, people give money for two reasons: to people because they trust they’re going to do something good with their money, or they give to causes that they really believe in. I want to do both of those. … So most of my conversations with donors and about money right now are about who I am, what my values are, what I believe, and how we’re going to use the money that they give us to support us to better the plight for our student-athletes. And I think when you take that approach, people feel better (than) you just going in and talking about dollars and cents all the time, at least in my experience.” Scott says fundraising for Liberty Stadium upgrades have continued its positive momentum and credits former Tigers/current Missouri AD Laird Veatch and former Tigers Deputy AD Jeff Crane for building a solid base. “I think folks are starting to get comfortable that I’m coming in trying to get us there, not trying to derail that. And that’s really been the message.” While he disagrees with the notion of a revenue-sharing cap for the AAC, Scott does endorse the idea of potentially establishing a minimum. “It’s kind of like Poker, right? You don’t got to have the biggest stack at the table to win the tournament, but you’ve got to have enough to get in the game. So from that standpoint, I like where his mindset is.” (link)

Memphis is also in the process of finalizing a two-year extension of its lease agreement with the FedExForum. Tigers AD Ed Scott says the planned FedExForum renovation project is the main reason for the short-term extension: “We both agreed (it) would make the most sense for both sides fiscally. Because, what it’ll do, it’ll allow us to figure out what these renovations are going to look like.” Scott also says there will be a change to the attendance-based guaranteed payment clause through which Memphis would receive $800K for each season the Tigers drew an average actual attendance of 10K or more for home games. If that number was less than 6K in any season, Memphis would not have received a guaranteed payment. Scott: “You’ll see something a little different about the gate. It won’t be attributed to the gate the same way it was before. Less about us hitting certain numbers and more about us probably giving them a certain amount and getting a certain amount from them.” Last season, Memphis averaged 6,827 tickets scanned at the turnstiles in 17 games. Scott intends to sign a long-term lease agreement, “but I wanted to make sure that both sides feel good about it, and I thought the best way to do it was to get through a two-year extension. You know, give us a gap so we can make some more informed decisions moving forward.” (link)

New Orleans AD Tim Duncan explains his decision to return to Memphis: “First of all, I love the University of New Orleans. It was my first Division I AD job, and it has been all that I could’ve wanted. It was going to take something very special for me to leave New Orleans. Memphis is that special.” Duncan goes on to say he’s known Tigers AD Ed Scott for a while, and “I’ve watched and admired what he’s accomplished in this business from afar for probably the last 10 years. I was happy when he called. But the more we talked about the job and our philosophies, it became obvious that mine are aligned with his. … It takes a secure leader to bring in someone who has a history at a place you’re new at. He’s secure in his own skin, so I respect that more than anything.” Scott says: “Tim is a guy I trust. He can build culture. For me, I said it in my press conference, I’m all in on Memphis. It was less important that somebody was from Memphis, most important that they wanted to be here at Memphis and they believe in the vision.” Duncan goes on to note: “The great challenge (for us) is being in a conference that is our rightful place with our peers. That challenge is what drives me. I believe in (Scott’s) vision that we can get there. Seeing the explosion of football, the continued growth in men’s basketball, women’s basketball and soccer. We have new softball leadership. … I’m fired up and ready to go.” (link)

CBS’ Matt Norlander and Gary Parrish are back with the latest Candid Coaches series, this time asking men’s basketball coaches whether a woman will be a DI MBB HC before 2030. Of those polled, 62% said yes and 38% said no. One coach who voted yes says: “More women are coaching now. You don't see as many assistants on the men's side, but head coaches, they're going to come from the WNBA and there's more popularity and more ADs are going to take a chance on hiring. They're starting off as DOBOs now. I was looking at maybe hiring one when I was a head coach. That's the way it's going." Another remarks: "I honestly could see it, but at a low-major. Someone that wants to get clicks and a big media response. I just don't see the blue bloods doing something like this." Of the no votes, one coach says: "We aren't that far away from 2030 and there aren't many (female) assistant coaches. It would take a really progressive AD or outside-the-box thinker to hire a woman, like a current head coach having a lot of success." Another: "Is this something a woman would even want to do? Hard for me to see both a school and a woman being willing to make this a reality.” More responses from coaches. (link)

The new two-minute warning in college football did not add any extra TV timeouts during Week 0, according to The Athletic’s Chris Vannini, who acknowledges that while it may have seemed otherwise to fans, the week “just had some unusual games.” For instance, Vannini notes Georgia Tech and Florida State “played a quick game with long drives, lots of runs and just seven possessions per team. Per statistician Brian Fremeau, the 14 total possessions were the fewest in any FBS game since 2020. As a result, three TV timeouts were crammed into the final two minutes of game time: one for the two-minute warning and two for Florida State timeouts stopping the clock. That is annoying for viewers, teams, fans in the stadium, everyone. But it wasn’t unusual or different from the past. … As the season wears on, perhaps the two-minute warning’s contribution to game flow will be more obvious in pass-heavy games with lots of possessions. This change is designed to prevent back-to-back commercial breaks, which even the broadcasters dislike. So when we hit the two-minute warning next Saturday, know you’re not getting extra commercials. You’re just getting the normal annoying amount.” (link)

The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee has announced its official roster for the 2024 Paralympic Games, which includes 69 former, current and incoming student-athletes with connections to NCAA championship sports and Emerging Sports for Women. A total of 116 athletes — more than 50% of U.S. Paralympians on the 2024 roster — competed in college on their way to Team USA, including those who played club sports and non-NCAA championship sports, as well as athletes who competed at the junior college level and in the NAIA. In all, 90 schools will have one or more Paralympic athletes competing in Paris. Of the 90 schools, 69 are NCAA schools that span 42 conferences and all three divisions. When considering all collegiate sport organizations, six U.S. teams have at least 50% collegiate participation on their U.S. Paralympic rosters: paratriathlon (58%), powerlifting (50%), rowing (100%), swimming (61%), track and field (71%) and wheelchair basketball (92%).
