George Washington yesterday formally introduced new AD Michael Lipitz, who remarked that given all the changes happening across the industry, “we have to be nimble, we have to be innovative, and as the landscape continues to evolve, we have to participate to the fullest extent possible to ensure that our student-athletes have every opportunity to succeed in and out of competition, and that our teams have every resource they need to compete at the highest level." Lipitz also promised that “we will aggressively pursue a culture of competitive excellence. GW competes for conference titles, year in and year out, in multiple sports, and in all of our fully resourced programs we do expect to compete for A-10 titles and earn NCAA Tournament bids. Our flagship men's and women's [basketball] programs have rich tradition and history – a combined 29 NCAA Tournament appearances. Championship basketball is very much in our DNA. We embrace the expectation to compete for titles and play deep into March." (link)

Northwestern’s AD search is down to three finalists, according to the Chicago Sun-Times’ Steve Greenberg, who reports the Wildcats have zeroed in on Pittsburgh AD Heather Lyke, Villanova AD Mark Jackson and Washington Commanders Senior Adviser Jason Wright. (link) 

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Jason Mackey argues Pittsburgh Chancellor Joan Gabel must find a way to retain Panthers AD Heather Lyke: “Lyke has done her part. Now, it’s on Pitt and Gabel to reciprocate, to give Lyke the resources necessary to succeed while also challenging and supporting the longtime college administrator to help the Panthers reach new heights.” Mackey goes on to observe that “if desire was enough to get this done, that would be great. But I think it’s probably deeper than that. There are likely a variety of factors at play, the biggest one probably being money and whether Pitt can convince Lyke it’s ready to become a bigger player on the national stage. … Nobody should be surprised there’s interest in Lyke, who in 2023 was named by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics as one of its Cushman & Wakefield AD of the Year Award recipients. The Sports Business Journal also named her a finalist for its Athletic Director of the Year.” Mackey adds: “Look across the state and the steps Penn State took with [AD Patrick] Kraft, refusing to let him leave. Whether her contract is indeed up or not, it should be time for Pitt and Chancellor Gabel to do what it takes to keep Lyke around, giving the university a chance to continue the athletic ascent that was triggered by her arrival.” (link)

Meanwhile, Villanova unveils a refreshed visual identity. Wildcats AD Mark Jackson: "The Villanova Athletics brand is incredibly strong, and these updates build upon the rich history, tradition and success of our athletic programs. Our student-athletes, fans and the entire Villanova community take great pride in representing Villanova, and I look forward to seeing the updates embraced by Nova Nation.” Villanova worked with VPCo. on the design. Have a look. (link)

TCU AD Jeremiah Donati met with the media yesterday to discuss the House settlement, conference realignment, revenue sharing, scholarships and more and says the Horned Frogs’ plan is not to add new scholarships but to potentially reallocate them. “We’re going to be focused primarily on putting that $21M of rev-share in the hands of the players.. … We understand that does not guarantee championships, it does not guarantee wins, but it's a way in which we think that we can be competitive across the board here with the programs that are going to share in that. I think it's probably reasonable to assume that the sports that generate revenue are going to participate in that.” Donati says TCU has six programs that generate revenue, “so we think that program probably makes the most sense. Let’s be honest about why we’re here. It’s been a football and men’s basketball issue. I’m not advocating that they get all the money. I don’t think that’s fair, but I do think it should be commensurate with what the programs bring in.” In regards to roster limits, Donati notes that student-athletes need information sooner rather than later. For instance, there are around 130 players on the football team right now, which means at least 25 can’t return next season. “What does that look like in how you run your program?” In baseball, TCU will have to trim the roster from 44 to 34 and figure out how to add scholarships above the 11.7 limit should they choose to do so. “I wish we had a longer runway. I think for the most part these are the right decisions. I wish it didn't come from a settlement; I wish we could go back 25 years and find a more elegant solution to get there, but we've got to figure out a way to create a new business model in more or less six to eight months.” More from Donati, who says there are no plans to eliminate sports; “however, they’re probably going to look different.” (link)

Oregon State AD Scott Barnes Q&As with The Oregonian’s Nick Daschel and says OSU and Washington State are “really close to resolving” the 2025 football schedule. “In the next few weeks, I’d say is where that sits. But, you know, making progress every day.” Asked if it’s likely to be a continuation of the partnership with the Mountain West, Barnes says: “To be determined. Certainly, it’s a strong option.” Barnes says as recently as a year or so ago he would have opposed bringing NIL in-house, “but given the runaway train that NIL has become, I believe the only way to bring any sort of consistency and tamp down the improprieties that are occurring is to bring it in-house and regulate it more. One of the pieces of this House settlement is it calls for strong enforcement. They don’t know what the enforcement mechanism is yet, but we need one, and we need one badly. So bringing in-house, I am now an advocate of we will do that. It doesn’t mean we won’t still have an outside collective, but we will have inside NIL. We’re adding staff as we speak to help manage NIL.” Barnes on renovations to the multipurpose Gill Coliseum: “In our facilities master plan, one of the next items up is the field sports building. That would house our men’s and women’s soccer programs, track and softball and cross country. That would free up space in Gill to start to reimagine what it would look like. We have made significant progress on the lead gift for the facilities project, which is $25M. We will embark on a campaign for that this fall. With the additional space in Gill, we start to reimagine in terms of fan amenities and revenue generation.” More. (link)

ESPN’s SVP for College Sports Programming and Acquisitions Nick Dawson talks with SBJ’s Ben Portnoy about the networks’ expectation for increased exposure this college football season: “There's no doubt there's depth of TV brand strength with those [Oklahoma and Texas] in the fold. [That] creates more weeks where, at least on paper, going into the season, you look at it and say [there are] one, two, three, maybe even sometimes four games that you would say, ‘That's a high-quality TV matchup from a brand-versus-brand perspective.’” ESPN plans to stagger kickoffs throughout the day between its main cable channel, SEC Network and ABC to allow fans to watch SEC football all day if they wish, and Dawson notes: “We looked at it and felt like if we could do something slightly different with SEC Network, that would allow opportunities for halftime live look-ins across networks and things like that. When things are staggered, you have live action all day long.” Dawson also talks about the Big 12 and ACC matchups that will air in the late-night window: “You'll see some new schools and new brands show up in that window based on them being a road team in those games that haven't had that experience before. And it's a nice opportunity for those schools to continue to build brand awareness and build following just given the ‘only game on’ nature in that window that we've seen over the years.” (link)

CBS’ Isaac Trotter unpacks the growing number of GMs in men’s basketball, where staffs are beginning to look more like NBA front offices. Trotter notes there are “values to be had in the transfer portal, and general managers can help uncover them with data-based analysis, an eye for scheme-based fits and on-point, behind-the-scenes intel. Dalton Knecht, the reigning All-American, was not Tennessee's highest-paid player. Marcus Domask didn't cost a fortune for Illinois in the transfer portal last summer, but the Southern Illinois transfer turned into one of the best value gets in the cycle after he put together an All-Big Ten campaign.” Trotter also points out that even staffers whose title doesn’t include GM are increasingly performing GM functions. For instance, Trotter notes of Kentucky AHC Mark Fox, who spent last season as the director of student-athlete relations and NIL partnerships at Georgetown: “Fox might not have the GM tag next to his name at Kentucky, but make no mistake, he's expected to help [Wildcats HC Mark] Pope with more than just pick-and-roll defensive coverages.” Trotter goes on to highlight several notable GMs and the “under-the-radar moves that they helped put together in the 2024 transfer portal cycle.” The list includes Duke’s Rachel Baker, BYU’s Doug Stewart, Villanova’s Baker Dunleavy, DePaul’s LaVall Jordan, Michigan’s Kyle Church, Arkansas’ Chris Woolard, Texas Tech’s Kellen Buffington and Baylor’s Jason Smith. More on each. (link)

Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont says he will defer to UConn AD David Benedict on whether to pursue Big 12 membership, adding: “Obviously there is an enormous realignment of these leagues and you don't want to be left behind. I understand where they are coming from there. TV revenues are important as well.” According to reports, UConn would be expected to invest more in football before it could join the Big 12, and Lamont remarks: "I think that UConn’s got to set its priorities. They have one of the biggest grants per capita of any state university in the country. So rather than ask the taxpayers to do a little bit more…but let me see what the proposal is coming in, there may be a private/public partnership that makes some sense in this, as well." Meanwhile, U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) yesterday wrote on X: "I’ve always believed UConn should stay in the Big East. Our athletes and fans have a great regional conference that clearly works for our highest profile sport, basketball. Chasing football relevance is a mistake. We will get burned." (link)

Private Equity in Sports…

+ NFL owners approved a new policy that will allow them to sell up to 10% of their teams to a select group of pre-approved private equity firms. The league’s initial list of approved firms includes Arctos, Ares Management, Sixth Street and a four-member consortium made up of Blackstone, Carlyle, CVC and Dynasty Equity. The Wall Street Journal’s Andrew Beaton and Miriam Gottfried: “It seems inevitable that the list of approved firms will expand. Under the rules, each group is allowed to buy stakes in up to six different clubs—so Arctos could own pieces of both the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, for instance. But with only four groups set for initial approval, there wouldn’t be enough to cover all of the league’s teams even if each firm hits the limit. It may also be necessary to expand the pool of approved buyers to create a big enough market for stakes when time comes for the original buyers to exit. The only team that won’t have this new option available is the Green Bay Packers, which has a unique community-based ownership structure.” (link)

+ ESPN’s Michael Rothstein adds that “funds are capped at investing in a maximum of six teams, and the minimum investment for institutional wealth in any franchise is 3%. If a fund buys into a team, it must hold onto the investment for a minimum of six years. Funds must have a minimum of $2B of committed capital to invest and a maximum of 20% of a fund's money can be invested into one team. Team owners or their immediate family members may invest up to 3% in a fund. Any ownership changes still need to be approved by a three-fourths majority of teams. … Sovereign wealth funds – such as the Qatar Investment Authority, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and the wealthiest sovereign fund, the Norwegian Government Pension Fund – are not allowed to invest into teams directly. They can, though, own part of an approved fund. No individual or single investor (including a sovereign wealth fund) may own more than 7.5% of any fund.” (link)

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.

William & Mary is the recipient of a $6.5M gift from alumnus Rick Platt to support the men’s and women’s track & field/cross country programs. Platt’s latest gift comes just six months after he gave $2.3M during the All In campaign to support the total renovation of the team’s locker rooms in Zable Stadium. The gift also establishes the Rick Platt Cross Country and Track Excellence Fund, which help fuel “sweeping changes over 10 years to raise the profile of the programs, including additional scholarship support, preseason cross country training camps, travel funds to provide opportunities at the most competitive track and cross country meets, and other social events to enhance team bonding and camaraderie.” (link)

TCU Football HC Sonny Dykes and his wife, Kate, have donated $1M to the athletic department.

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)
