Carnegie Mellon Football will exit the PAC after this season and join the Centennial. Tartans AD Josh Centor: “Joining the Centennial Conference will have an impact on the competitiveness of our football program while providing student-athletes with enriching travel experiences and opportunities to compete against some of the nation’s top teams.” From the PAC: “As a result of this decision, the PAC will be unable to move forward with its planned divisional format and PAC Championship Game, which was set to begin in 2025. The conference is now putting together an eight-game, unbalanced schedule for the 2025 and 2026 seasons, which will be released as soon as it is finalized.” (link, link)

More House Happenings:

+ Minutes from last week’s House hearing officially indicate the parties have been instructed to meet and discuss changes to the settlement and report back to U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken by September 26. (link)

+ The NCAA “might figure it’s time to make a game-breaking gamble by trying to win House” in the U.S. Supreme Court, according to Sportico’s Michael McCann, who points out the NCAA already made sweeping concessions in the settlement: “It has accepted an arrangement that demolishes its longstanding fidelity to amateurism, converts the upper echelon of college sports into a pro sports model, and obligates the association and member schools to pay about $2.8B over a 10-year period.” Therefore, it “stands to reason that NCAA President Charlie Baker – especially if swayed by conference commissioners, prominent university presidents and influential athletic directors – could decide enough is enough. Don’t be shocked if he declares he’s willing to take his chances in court.” McCann goes on to submit that before the case even comes before SCOTUS, it’s “not a slam dunk the NCAA would lose a trial. Some jurors might find the commercialization of college sports problematic and off-putting. Some might regard the transformation of college sports into something akin to pro sports undesirable, especially if they believe it would reduce academic opportunities for athletes. Jurors are ordinary people. They’re not seasoned litigators who can instantly cite sports antitrust case precedent or Ivy League economists who conduct empirical analyses on fan behavior. They often go with their gut and follow their moral compass.” In the event the case does go before SCOTUS, McCann emphasizes that while the court ruled 9-0 in the Alston case, no other justices signed onto Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s concurrence.

+ Georgia President/former DI Council Chair Jere Morehead discussed the latest in the House case with The Athletic’s Seth Emerson: “Well, it needs to be resolved, because we entered into a settlement and we expect that entire settlement to be accepted by the judge. She’s expressed some concerns, and hopefully those concerns will be addressed over the next three weeks. [...] I don’t think it’s back to the drawing board. The settlement’s the settlement. She’s got to decide whether she’s going to accept the settlement that’s been agreed to by the parties.” Headlining attorney Tom Mars comments: “UGA’s President doesn’t seem to understand that a class action adjudicates the rights of absent third parties, and settlements must be approved to make sure those third parties - college athletes, in this case - aren’t getting screwed. Don’t screw the athletes. Case closed.” (link, link)

Wittenberg will cut its Men’s and Women’s Tennis and Women’s Bowling programs after this year, in addition to a number of other university cuts, as it works to eliminate its forecasted operating losses by FY27. WU will also eliminate 24 full-time faculty roles, 45 staff positions, five academic major programs and more. In a letter from university leaders: “We recognize that this is a difficult and uncertain time for all of us as we work to fully eliminate forecasted financial losses by fiscal year 2027 by reducing faculty and staff positions. However, since the start of the budgetary hardship process, the board has had a singular focus: to preserve the best of Wittenberg and ensure the university thrives.” (link)

@1QLeadership Question: Do the titles given during a career define the underlying skill?

Chris McFarlane is the Deputy Athletics Director for External Relations and Business Development at UCF. At a quick glance, his career arc would have him labeled as a fundraiser. With further study, McFarlane's career is actually rooted in building programs.

• Hired to lead an athletics fundraising office in his mid-20s

• Purposely stepped away from a leadership role after successfully building a couple of fundraising programs

• Recent appointment leans into his building programs skill while using aspects of his fundraising experience

McFarlane continues to rely on the skills developed while working as a fundraiser but has always known that his superpower is building sustainable programs that help athletics departments focus on executing their purpose for existing. 🎧 on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
