House v. NCAA…

+ U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken will not rule on the House settlement following today's hearing and explained she will "throw it back on [the lawyers] to find something workable, something consistent" with respect to the third-party and booster restrictions, adding: "It  seems to me likely enough that there will be a settlement, even if there’s some changes to what’s been agreed to so far.” NCAA counsel Rakesh Kilaru subsequently remarked: "Based on your comments, we have to talk about whether we have a deal." During the hearing, Wilken suggested she would give preliminary approval to the Hubbard portion of the case and is "reluctant to stay Fontenot case," while encouraging the NCAA to request the Colorado judge overseeing that case to delay Fontenot. Fox Sports' Bryan Fischer adds: "NCAA counsel says they don’t want to finalize Hubbard settlement without doing House. House plaintiffs say it’s not an issue." Attorneys are scheduled to bring an amended settlement back before Wilken in three weeks. (link, link, link) 

+ According to Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger and others, Wilken voiced particular concern over language in the settlement that specifically prohibits school boosters from compensating athletes through endorsement deals, as well as language prohibiting pay-for-play. Wilken is skeptical the NCAA could or should enforce such a rule and told Kilaru: “I think we’ve got problems with this. I don’t have an idea of how to fix this. I will throw it back on you all to come up with something better and consistent. Keep in mind that taking things away from people doesn’t work well.” Kilaru noted that such language is a “central part” of the settlement and told Wilken that “without it, I’m not sure there will be a settlement to submit.” Dellenger also reports: “Kilaru made clear that the NCAA wants all three cases – House, Hubbard and Carter – to be approved or there is no agreement to settle any of them. Hubbard is in the best position to be approved, but the judge, based on Kilaru’s comments, did not approve it.” During the hearing, plaintiffs’ attorney Jeffrey Kessler informed Wilken that plaintiffs and defendants were “not trying to make anything prohibited [in the settlement] that was not already prohibited. This was not designed to eliminate NIL from boosters currently prohibited.” To which Wilken responded: “That may be your view, but I’m not sure that is the NCAA’s view.” After the hearing, one power conference president told Dellenger: “It’s truly madness. There is no reason to settle under these circumstances. Go to trial and take our chances on appeal.” (link)

+ Sportico’s Michael McCann observes that Wilken “also expressed worry about a hypothetical person – ‘a six-year old playing kickball on asphalt’ – who, if they eventually become a college athlete a dozen years from now, will be subject to the settlement. Kessler and Kilaru insisted the athlete would have a voice on settlement terms since new class representatives would be added as the years go on. Kessler also argued that college sports will be better for the six-year-old with the settlement than without since the settlement offers ‘an incredibly improved system with billions of dollars of compensation, no scholarship limits and not having to wait to bring their own antitrust cases,’ which would require many years of litigation.” McCann reiterates that “Kilaru repeatedly told Wilken that his client agreed to a deal as is and is not necessarily willing to move forward with another deal, which presumably would necessitate making more concessions on NIL in order to satisfy Wilken.” (link)

+ According to the AP’s Ralph Russo, Wilken “seemed unswayed by objections raised by a group of female former Division I athletes who claim they won’t receive a fair amount of the damages, which will mostly go to football and men’s basketball players. Wilken said that was a sexual discrimination issue covered by Title IX, but not applicable to an antitrust case.” (link)

+ Kessler tells ESPN’s Dan Murphy that he’s comfortable with Wilken’s suggestion to remove the new language about NIL collectives from the settlement. "We are perfectly fine with those changes. It's now up to the NCAA. Hopefully, they'll agree to them. If the deal falls apart, we go back to trial. If they want to face that, it's a decision they have to make.” (link); Kessler also says he wants Wilken to set a deadline because there's a chance they can't reach a new settlement and the cases go back on the docket, per Sportico’s Michael McCann, who adds: “Pretty stunning development. This NCAA settlement that's been talked about like a done deal now has a good chance of collapsing.” (link)

+ The NCAA says in a statement: “The settlement agreement the NCAA and autonomy conferences submitted to the court was the product of hard-fought negotiations that would bring stability to and sustainability to college sports while maintaining an education-based model that equips hundreds of thousands of students every year with with degrees and tools to succeed throughout their life. That continues to be our goal and the NCAA and autonomy conferences will carefully consider the court’s questions, which are not uncommon in the context of class action settlements.” (link)

Santa Clara selects Stanford Deputy AD/SWA Heather Owen as its next AD, starting September 17. President Julie Sullivan: “We are in a transformative moment for college athletics overall, and several important qualities stood out that make Heather the ideal person to lead Santa Clara Athletics. She has high academic and athletic aspirations for her student-athletes, and the experience, commitment, and track record to support them in attaining both. Her success as a student-athlete and WNBA player reveals her competitive nature and commitment to excellence. As a leader, she has the smarts and strategic and operational acumen needed to achieve it—and, importantly, the candor, calm, and trustworthiness required to successfully manage the challenges faced in building a highly competitive program. In Heather, we have found the perfect fit.” Parker Executive Search assisted with the process. (link)

FAU extends AD Brian White’s contract through 2029. President Stacy Volnick: "The entire university has benefited tremendously from the success of our athletics program under Brian's leadership. We are celebrating the largest enrollment in our 60-year history, and the positive media attention we continue to receive from athletics is contributing to the increased interest in attending Florida Atlantic." (link)

The Big Ten is not interested in expanding further, according to Iowa President Barbara Wilson, who remarked this week: “I would say for now that we’re done. If we’re going to grow, it will be for the right reason. Right now, there’s no compelling reason. But I’m one vote in the grand scheme of things. We’ve certainly been asked by other schools.” Wilson went on to explain that “we have implicit criteria for who we want to be part of this conference. The academic excellence is really at the [forefront]. … Most of the other conferences don’t have that collaboration at the academic level. That’s something we don’t talk about as much as we probably should. We want the institutions to be as similar as possible because those groups wouldn’t be as helpful if we didn’t have those connections.” (link)

AAC Commissioner Tim Pernetti joined Oregon women’s basketball student-athlete Deja Kelly and Altius Sports Partners VP Brittney Whiteside for a panel discussion as part of the Bloomberg Power Players event in New York City. Topics included schools’ relationships with college athletes since the introduction of NIL, challenges and opportunities with collectives and boosters, effects of the transfer portal and the potential impact of private equity. Pernetti says of the current state of the industry: “The way I look at it from a commissioner's perspective is everybody's lamenting, ‘Oh, God, how is this happening? What are we going to do?’ And I'm sitting there saying we have failed to modernize the business over the last 20 years, so this is overdue. We need to look at student-athletes as our partners now on the business side in everything we do.” Pernetti goes on to note that despite the industry’s uncertainty right now, private equity firms see the value of college sports. “And they also see every 10 years when the media rights contract comes up, it doubles, it triples. They see the value exponentially growing. I think it's an exploration right now. … We've had a million conversations. What I always tell people is our conference is juiced up about this because I've gotten them excited. What I say to them is if you're not all committed to being in this conference for the next period of years, no private capital group’s going to sit here and invest in you. They want to know that that asset that they bought, at worst, looks like that asset at the end of the relationship, if not better.” Pernetti on collectives: “The term ‘collective’ is new, but the theory of people donating money to support student-athletes has been going on since the beginning of time. … There are administrators out there that think post-House settlement – if it gets settled, there’s actually a public hearing today – if it gets settled that the collectives should go away. And I think the collectives are going to have something to say about that because that is the ability to put more value on top of what the cap may be. So, I don't see the collectives going away and I certainly don't see them going away without a legal fight, and the one thing I know about the industry is we are not interested in any more litigation right now.” (link)

Oregon State AD Scott Barnes joins the Canzano & Wilner podcast to talk about the future of college athletics, his programs and the Pac-12's strategy for 2025 and beyond and says of the TV deal with The CW: “Our priority was reach for all the reasons that we know, and there was more than one suitor. We had an opportunity to work with an excellent consultant who got us in front of several different entities, but we landed with The CW. We love the reach, but we also love the time slots, we love what they're doing, we love their mentality. We're both in growth mode and in this thing together and so [we have] that partnership.” Barnes goes on to talk about what comes next for the industry and submits: “What has happened in some cases is built on a bit of a false premise and that’s that we all operate like we're all sophisticated business entities, and that this settlement says we're all sophisticated business entities so we should be able to do revenue-share and the like. Well, what sophisticated business entity builds 20 or 30 subsidiary organizations and they build them to lose money? And they are supported by one or two [sports] and operate under this higher ed model. … We have to in some form or fashion decouple ourselves from the university operations. … In order to do that, you can’t stay in the same structure. So you're going to have to decouple or uncouple yourself from some of the bureaucracy of higher education to structure yourself in a way that you can execute the new innovative things that you may be doing.” Lots more from Barnes.

Michigan AD Warde Manuel asserts Michigan will “absolutely not” play Friday football games. “I understand television would like us to do it, I understand primetime gets a lot of coverage, but also Big Noon (Kickoff) gets a lot of coverage and we’re happy with that. And when we’re on at 3:30 on CBS, they get a lot of coverage. In other words, our fanbase is important to me, important to Sherrone, and to our staff, our student-athletes. We want [to make sure] our fanbase has an opportunity to see us in person.” (link)

As of August, Memphis had secured $21.33M, “the result of 25 separate gifts, in closed donations and $1.5M in verbal pledges to be used toward their ongoing $220M renovation of Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium,” according to the Daily Memphian’s Tim Buckley, who notes that since Tigers AD Ed Scott’s first day on the job on July 29, the Tigers have secured more than $2.17M more in pledges. Scott: “In the last 30 days, just to give you an update, we’re now over $25M in verbal and signed (stadium donations).” The family of FedEx Founder Fred Smith has since unlocked the first $25M portion of a $50M matching gift, and Scott says the Tigers have now started on the second half of the $50M, which would allow completion of the third part of the three-phase renovation.

Louisiana Tech Athletics introduces the Louisiana Tech Sports Performance Institute (LTSPI), a cross-campus initiative that will integrate with the university’s “research and scholarship to realize innovation in every area of athletics.” More specifically, the LTSPI will “disseminate best practices to sports organizations throughout the region and nationally. Different from existing collegiate sports institutes housed within academic departments, the LTSPI will engage with donors and participate in academic research opportunities in which the athletic department has a competitive interest.” LTSPI’s functions include the Bulldog Venture Fund, which will merge the “benefits of traditional venture capital firms with the benefits of the Louisiana Tech Foundation” and allow for donor access to technology on campus.

In case you missed yesterday's Evening Standard...

The Big 12 and Connecticut are pausing discussions about the Huskies possibly joining the league. Commissioner Brett Yormark: “Following detailed discussions with my conference colleagues alongside UConn leadership, we have jointly decided to pause our conversations at this time. We will instead focus our attention and resources to ushering in this new era of college athletics.” Huskies AD David Benedict: “It is always our objective to put UConn in the very best position for future success, so we did engage in exploratory dialogue with the Big 12. Ultimately, the Big 12 determined that it will pause on conversations about membership expansion. … No matter our conference home, our mission has been, and will always be, to provide an exceptional academic and athletic experience to the outstanding young men and women who proudly wear the UConn uniform. It is our North Star, and we must never forget the shining principle which guides our everyday work.” (link, link)

Teamworks has acquired Zelus Analytics, a sports intelligence platform which helps elite sports organizations by blending rich data sources to inform roster construction, player development, game preparation, and in-game strategy decisions. Teamworks Founder/CEO Zach Maurides: “Whether it’s deciding who to recruit, trade, start, or develop – teams effectively using all the data at their disposal have a clear competitive advantage. It was critical for us to find the best in the business and bring that to our customers. It didn’t take us long to realize Zelus was that company.” On how Zelus will fit into the Teamworks Operating System: “Integrations with popular ball and player tracking data providers capture, clean, and transform millions of data points into an analytics-optimized format. […] Integrations with Teamworks AMS and Nutrition will enable teams to connect off-field preparation with on-field outcomes to drive future performance. In the ever-changing world of collegiate athletics, Zelus will integrate with Teamworks Recruiting to drive data-backed player evaluations and inform athlete earnings decisions.” (link)

Michigan AD Warde Manuel joins the Conqu’ring Heroes podcast to discuss the fall sports season and says of the first year of alcohol sales at Michigan Stadium: “There were people who were sneaking alcohol into our stadium for a long time. The fact that we’re serving alcohol hopefully will get people to not engage in binge drinking out in the parking lots and making it a better environment.” Manuel also explains that the “latest a [football] game can start on the West Coast is 7:30 or 8:00 (presumably for teams traveling from the Eastern and Central time zones), which mimics being a East Coast time frame. That was a big push for us because you're already going to get back late even at that time. We're going to get back early in the morning, 4, 5, 6 in the morning, depending on when you take off, and so we did not want to push that back any further from Eastern time. So, there's no concerns there in football. Not sure the same will apply in basketball. … We’re going to figure it out, and as we learn more, we’ll work through it.” Manuel on Football HC Sherrone Moore’s contract status: “They’re being worked on as we speak. I've signed a couple of the assistant coaches. We had a transition not only in football, we had a transition in basketball, we're dealing with NCAA matters, we're dealing with really the situation with our apparel provider and bringing on Legends as shortly as Saturday. … Sherrone knows our commitment to him, we know his commitment to us, and the same thing with the assistant coaches. It hasn't been something that has been an issue for me or for them but we're working through it and will hopefully have them wrapped up very soon.” (link)

Several former Rutgers gymnasts tell NJ Advance Media’s Brian Fonseca that they are considering legal action against the athletic department, and Fonseca reports that two parents sent letters to prominent university and state leaders — including Gov. Phil Murphy, Rutgers President Jonathan Holloway and interim athletic director Ryan Pisarri — in which they “formally call on the university to act in the best interest of the athletes and suspend Coach Salim-Beasley during this investigation.” One parent writes: “Her remaining as the coach is only adding a negative impact in the gym and the team. When is the university going to start protecting these girls?” Former gymnast Brayden Battavio is “reassured” by the governor’s involvement as well as the launch of an external investigation but says she remains “scared that everything is going to be for nothing and they’re just going to overlook it since it has gotten to this point before and (Salim-Beasley) always seems to get out of things.” (link)

Memphis expects to lose over $764K in ticket revenue this fall due to renovations of Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium, whose capacity will be reduced by roughly 25K seats. Tigers AD Ed Scott tells trustees the department is projecting a loss of 3,518 season tickets, which equates to $764,620 in loss revenue, along with a loss of 144 parking spots, leading to revenue loss of $43,200. Scott also says the Tigers hope to increase single-game ticket sales, but “the problem with single-game tickets is it's hard to forecast. If you look at the North Alabama game, we had just about 26,000 folks, just under 26,000. Some of that is due to our opponent, and some of that is due to how we're playing. My expectation is we'll see an influx of single-game tickets as we move forward, especially as the product that we put on the field is really, really good right now." On the topic of revenue-sharing, Scott reiterates his opposition to a cap and explains: “I look at it similar to poker. You have to have enough to get in the game, but the person who starts at the table with the largest stack doesn't always win the game. And so I think the real question for us is going to be: What is the right size and scope for the University of Memphis, given our sport portfolio and our goal to get in a Power 4 conference. And so that's the approach that I'm taking with our coaches." (link)

Ball State has invested over $3.3M in facilities upgrades impacting 12 sports over the past 18 months, according to Cardinals AD Jeff Mitchell, who writes: “New playing surfaces and updated graphics across multiple venues and upgraded seating for an improved fan experience in Worthen Arena highlight some of the advancements we have made. Looking ahead, we are within months of breaking ground on the $8M Eric Foss Championship Performance Center, which will enhance our Worthen Arena venue in terms of modern design and functionality and will serve as a sparkling new laboratory for power and speed for our student-athletes to improve their strength and conditioning training. We are re-making our track for our excellent track-and-field program, which has earned MAC and NCAA recognition the past three years. Similarly, we unveiled a new Taraflex playing surface for our championship caliber men's and women's volleyball teams in late August. The total cost for those projects equals approximately $2M.” (link)

Bruins AD Martin Jarmond: “As we begin a new era at UCLA as a member of the Big Ten Conference, we’re excited to also join forces with JMI Sports to help us capitalize on a larger platform, from a multimedia rights perspective. Throughout the course of our conversations with [JMI CEO] Erik Judson and JMI Sports leadership, what continually stood out was their deep understanding not only of the ever-changing world of college athletics, but also of the history and value of the UCLA Athletics brand. With their home base being in Southern California, they have strong knowledge of both the local and national landscapes. It was apparent from the start that JMI Sports wanted to partner with UCLA, and we are looking forward to working hand-in-hand with them for many years to come.” (link)

Discovery—which owns TNT, TBS and TruTV—though they confirmed the authenticity of the schedules sent out to schools last week. A spokesperson for WBD declined to comment.” (link)
