The DI Council has approved changes to the notification-of-transfer windows in football and men's and women's basketball from a total of 45 days to 30 days, effective immediately. Illinois AD/Council Chair Josh Whitman: "With several years of data now available, we know that the vast majority of student-athletes are entering the portal within the first four weeks of it opening. The NCAA remains committed to adjusting to the rapidly changing collegiate athletics landscape while continuing to keep student-athletes at the forefront of our decision-making process. These window adjustments met that standard." The changes were initially introduced in June. The council also adopted changes to NCAA signing rules that transition the National Letter of Intent program protections into signing and recruiting rules, effective immediately. Moving forward, written offers of athletics aid will replace the NLI, and the previous formula for determining signing dates will be applied to those written offers. Transfer prospects may be signed by a new school once their names are permissibly entered in the Transfer Portal. After a prospect signs a written offer of athletics aid, other schools that offer athletically related financial aid will be prohibited from recruiting communications with that prospect. Additionally, the council introduced a proposal that would change reclassification rules for schools transitioning from DII or DIII into DI. The proposal is expected to be considered for a vote during the NCAA Convention in January. If adopted, the proposal would reduce the transition period for schools reclassifying to three years (down from four years under existing rules). For schools reclassifying from DIII to DI, the transition period would be four years (down from five under existing rules). More. (link)

California Senators Nancy Skinner (D-9) and Steven Bradford (D-35) and NCPA Executive Director Ramogi Huma have issued a letter urging state universities to directly pay athletes NIL money using California’s Fair Pay to Play Act, which permits direct pay and prohibits enforcement. Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger notes Georgia, Illinois and Virginia have similar laws and adds: “It's been overshadowed, but schools in these states can sign athletes to NIL deals and share revenue with them...right now. This will soon be permitted as part of a core concept in the House settlement but is not expected to be implemented until July 1.” In the letter, the three write that they are pointing this out now because the “national recruiting early signing windows begin on November 13 for all sports except football, which begins on December 4. Also, transfer portal windows begin in November and December.” (link); Kennyhertz Perry attorney Mit Winter: “This is in line with my prediction that schools will move forward with direct payments/funding payments to athletes before the House settlement is finally approved, or even if it isn’t finally approved. No reason to wait now.” Heitner Legal Founder Darren Heitner responds: “Well, a reason to wait is fear of Title IX issues and other grounds for litigation. Still don't think schools realize what they're inviting re: legal exposure by doing this without labor law protections that come from collective bargaining.” Winter: Those are fair points. But competitive pressure will make many take action. And agreements don’t have to be direct. Payments can be made by third parties.” (link)

In remarks during today’s ACC Tip-Off, ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips said the league is prepared to include women's basketball in the success initiative model. He also noted there are limits to what he can say about legal complaints with "two member schools" but emphasizes that the ACC is ready for "long-term litigation." Additionally, Phillips indicated that the ACC is pushing to make sure its basketball players and coaches are being highlighted on "all ESPN platforms." The league conducted an extensive statistical review last year to evaluate their conference/non-conference scheduling after a lack of NCAA bids, specifically in men’s hoops. Phillips: “From top to bottom, this conference has been undervalued. But it remains clear our teams are ready for postseason play. … We have to do a better job of telling our story. That starts with me.” (link)

Syracuse Chancellor Kent Syverud went on record today about his support for the College Student Football League, saying: “My job mainly is to look around corners and ensure that Syracuse University is well-positioned whatever happens to college sports in the future. That’s what I’ve been working pretty hard on the last year. ... A lot of people have interest in this because a lot of people are making a lot of money. I think this is in the best interest of fans and certainly Syracuse University, which is why I’ve been sticking my neck out on it.” Syverud believes the idea would even be appealing to football powerhouses like Alabama and Ohio State and explains; “I’ve talked at length with least with one of those two, I’ll tell you, so I can answer concretely. The current model is not sustainable even for Ohio State and Alabama. That’s because there are no constraints on an ever-upward spiral of spending to have the best team. If a very small number of schools are spending to have the best team, then the rivalries are not going to be very fun to watch. And that is going to affect the net revenue that comes in.” Regarding the recent circulation of the Project Rudy proposal, Syverud remarks: “I’m not living and dying on any particular proposal. I just need us to have the courage to actually talk about where we’re going to end up if we don’t seriously consider alternatives.” Also from Syverud: “Any proposal has to command the support of Congress because some legislation is needed for any proposal. Any proposal has to involve enough schools so that there is skin in the game for the whole country, not just for favored parts of the country.” More from the chancellor. (link)

In breaking down how revenue-sharing and the House settlement will impact the the athletic department financially, Michigan AD Warde Manuel writes: “The anticipated annual payment of $22M will go directly to the athletes starting with the 2025-26 academic year, with those payments estimated to increase every year to maintain a proportional revenue share. Should our department also decide to meet all the new NCAA scholarship limits for each of our 29 teams, education costs to support those additional student-athletes are expected to increase by $29M annually. Consequently, the cost to support our budget with new revenue share and scholarship opportunities, will take a combination of generating more revenue and reducing expenses, to cover approximately $50M in additional dollars each year.” Manuel goes on to explain that the Wolverines “intend to maximize the revenue-sharing opportunities presented by these new policies to support and recognize the NIL contributions of our student-athletes to the full extent allowed by the NCAA and the agreed upon settlement. … We are continuing to assess the number of additional scholarships that our department will be able to fund, but we are firm in our commitment not to eliminate any sports or reduce the number of scholarships we currently offer.” Full letter.

Florida State AD Michael Alford joins the Navigating Sports Business podcast to discuss the challenges facing college sports, the role of analytics in projecting future revenue streams, the possibility of private equity investments in college sports and more. Alford notes FSU has worked with Navigate and JP Morgan to project revenues out to 2043 “with various scenarios and various opportunities that we can see and also looking at opportunities to when we needed to be aggressive depending on what the market was going to look like on the media side. … It’s basically what we're working on daily. I work daily with my executive team [on] how do we prepare ourselves for the future? It’s not looking at your budget next year, it's not looking at your budget next month. You do that, but what are we doing analytically, professionally and revenue stream-wise to make sure that we’re a player to where this industry is going in the future and try to set up every decision you make with a five- or 10-year goal, not a 24-hour goal.” Alford takes a similar approach to assessing private equity, asking where the industry is headed and how can FSU prepare. “What are the growth rates of every institution? How do we outperform because we're in the winning business? And how do we set ourselves up to be at an elite level and be extremely competitive with, I would say, the top six to 10 universities in the country and that’s where we view ourselves. So, what are we doing long-term to set ourselves up with that? … That’s where working with a private equity firm who works with the pro sports landscape, maybe not the collegiate landscape, but we can use their expertise and make sure that we’re putting ourselves in the best light, anticipating what’s coming in the future.” Full podcast.

Freshly minted UMass Lowell AD Lynn Coutts joins the Inside Lowell podcast to discuss her vision for the River Hawks, her decision to leave Denver for the East Coast and more. Coutts says she was drawn to Lowell for the challenge of building a relatively new DI department. “I wanted to do something hard and so I think you know you get to a point in your life where it’s ‘Isn’t this supposed to go the other way?’ And I say no. I think you have to be challenged every day. I think you have to be pushed and so Lowell was a place where, you know what, they're giving me a shot at it. I connect well with the first-gen that are here at Lowell. I was a first-gen. I connected with the chancellor. I think that was a really important piece of if the leadership of the campus is invested in athletics, then that’s where I want to be, because we can help each other out.” As she prepares to implement her vision for the program, Coutts says it’s important to determine what’s important now. “We’ve got some facilities, obviously we have to make some adjustments there. But for now, only a few months in, I don’t think you can make quick decisions, because with the landscape of the NCAA changing, where do our resources need to be? … I don't have that vision in a box, but I know that we're going to grow and we talk about winning, but what does winning mean? it's not just the championships, it’s the process, it's the journey. We've got to make sure our coaches are in good places, we have to make sure our support staff are in good places, our sports med, our sports performance, our academic support. We’re here to help kids graduate. … We're trying to support all those areas. I'm trying to, as quickly as I can, get to learn about everybody, whether each coach's values or what's important to them, so I know how to coach them because that's what we do, we coach each other and support them.” Lots more.

The Pac-12 is taking its media rights to market, according to JohnCanzano.com’s namesake proprietor, who is told by sources the league is “expected to finalize the choice of its media consultant this week.” Regarding how long the process could take, former Fox Sports President Bob Thompson tells Canzano: “Deals with ESPN and Fox can go quicker because of their history in the space. If the package gets divided up amongst a number of outlets, that may take a bit longer.” Canzano notes that bringing in a streamer might also delay things given the lack of experience in the space. Also from Canzano: “The Oregon State vs. Colorado State game on Saturday drew an audience of 568,000 viewers. It was the most-watched football game on The CW this season. Viewership peaked at 7 p.m. at 881,000. The previous high this season was San Jose State at Washington State, which drew 542,000. The top three games on The CW this season are Pac-12 games. The number raised some eyebrows because The CW channel in the Los Angeles TV market didn’t air the game. It carried the Clippers preseason basketball game live in that window instead.” (link)

Houston has received a $10M gift from the Michael and Rebecca Cemo Family Foundation to support construction and maintenance of the new Memorial Hermann Football Operations Center, per the Houston Chronicle’s Joseph Duarte. (link)

Syracuse has received a $2M donation from Edward Magee Jr. to support the Lally Athletics Complex and SU’s Athletics Opportunity Fund. In recognition of the gift, the Orange will name the dining facility that serves Olympic sports athletes after his father, Edward Magee Sr. The dining hall will be known within the athletics community as Magee One Team Dining.

The “Slobbering Hog” mark is back at center court for Arkansas thanks to a “late six-figure donation” and money from a Justin Moore concert, meeting the “$500K goal to match a $500K donation to hit $1M in one week. Center court logo added this morning as promised,” per Razorbacks AD Hunter Yurachek. (link)

Front Office Sports’ Meredith Turits examines how Tennessee State’s financial troubles are impacting the athletic department’s push to launch a hockey team, and Tigers Asst. AD for Communications & Creative Content Nick Guerriero acknowledges it remains to be seen what the university-wide austerity measures mean for the program. “Everyone is operating as normal. We’re just doing our day-to-day like we’re supposed to. It’s just in God’s hands, essentially. The university has to do what’s best for them, not what’s best for us. It’s a business. Sports is a business.” Even if the program does launch as planned, there’s no certainty about when the Tigers will break even on their investment, which is estimated to be around $2.5M the first year. Guerriero: “We don’t even own pucks right now.” Guerriero says of last year’s announcement that TSU would be adding hockey: “Not many people at HBCUs are in the hockey mindset. When it was announced, I think the situation was, what are we doing? Why are we not adding traditional sports? Some people kind of sit there and go, okay, we’re adding new stuff, but we’re not taking care of what’s already in the house.” Meanwhile, the athletic department continues to prepare for any eventuality, as Guerriero notes: “On any day, anything can happen. It’s the greatest story to be told, or the greatest story never told.” (link)

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

The DI Council has introduced a proposal to change rules for pre-enrollment activities in men's ice hockey and skiing that would enable prospects who participate in major junior ice hockey or on professional teams to retain NCAA eligibility as long as they are not paid more than actual and necessary expenses as part of that participation. Illinois AD/Council Chair Josh Whitman: "As the council continues its review of the full spectrum of NCAA eligibility rules, this proposal, focused on a singular issue, represents a pragmatic step in aligning skiing and men's ice hockey with other sports in terms of allowable pre-enrollment activities.” The proposal will be considered during the council's November meeting. If approved, the proposed effective date would be Aug. 1, 2025. The council also continued its discussions about other eligibility concepts, including pre-enrollment eligibility concepts, as well as seasons of competition and redshirt rules for sports other than football, and Whitman says: "The council is discussing the possibility of developing a comprehensive package of proposals to address eligibility issues presented by the current era of college sports. … We anticipate introducing proposals in the coming months that would consistently, meaningfully and responsibly change eligibility requirements to offer the best possible experience for student-athletes and schools."

Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark tells Front Office Sports’ Amanda Christovich he’s unconcerned about the SEC-Big Ten meetings this week: “I don’t wake up thinking about the Big Ten and the SEC. I really focus on how does the Big 12 become the best version of itself? If we do that, we’ll take care of business in the right way. Obviously, it’s received a bit of press, but not focused on it. Really. … I feel really good about our position as a conference.” (link)

Ohio State AD Ross Bjork talks about this week’s Big Ten-SEC meetings and tells The Athletic’s Scott Dochterman: “There are just so many commonalities between the two conferences. We have the biggest brands. Obviously, our TV packages are comprehensive in nature. Our stadiums are packed. Given where we are with the overall landscape of college athletics, those who see things in a common way, to me we need to get together, and we need to discuss how we chart the course, while also understanding there’s the legal landscape that we have to pay attention to and understanding what we can and can’t talk about.” Illinois AD Josh Whitman adds: “The NCAA has many wonderful virtues, but large systemic change is not one of the things that the NCAA excels at. It’s an intense bureaucracy. It’s not built to make revolutionary change. It’s made to make incremental changes, and it feels like we’re at a moment where we need leadership across the industry. If there is the opportunity for a conference or a group of conferences to come together and be a spearhead for needed change because we have a little more agility, we have a little more alignment around values, around resources, then I’m hopeful that perhaps our conferences can sort of open the logjam and allow for the business of college athletics to begin to flow again.” Meanwhile, Iowa AD Beth Goetz tells Dochterman: “You certainly could come out of and would hope to come out of this meeting with some next steps. Whether those are continued progress towards a particular outcome and or something you could decide on in the moment, generally, I just think it’s a really great opportunity.” (link)

Asked by SBJ’s Ben Portnoy about College Sports Tomorrow’s Super League proposal, ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips responded: “I don't want to speak to any specific model, but when you're going through a period of time, as we are now, I think we’re all wise [enough] to at least listen and understand and learn any and all options that may be possible. You run those down through questions, through education, through understanding of what some of the elements would be of whatever that structure is. But we are all striving for a new model that has a chance to be sustainable now and into the future.” Phillips also said talks between the ACC and ESPN are ongoing as ESPN’s 2025 deadline to extend the deal looms. “We’re in a good place. We continue to talk about ways we can garner and create more value for both of us since we are 50/50 partners. Those have been very healthy conversations on a really regular basis – if not daily, certainly every other day we're engaged with our partners.” (link)

“A super league-like structure is coming to college football eventually,” according to The Athletic’s Ralph Russo, and Simplebet Co-Founder/CEO Chris Bevilacqua tells him: “Even in the month or so of conversations that I’ve had across the spectrum with presidents and ADs and commissioners, I can tell you that there is a very broad consensus that the system is broken. It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when and what the eventual output or structure is.” Bevilacqua, who is also part of the group behind College Sports Tomorrow, adds: “We have to sort of all together, step back and look at this and say, how do we come up with a solution that doesn’t serve only a few but serves the entirety of membership and the student-athletes and the media partners and, most importantly, the fans and alumni, the ones that are enjoying this great sport.” The biggest hurdle continues to be getting the SEC and Big Ten on board, which appears unlikely, given SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey’s comment last week that “I don’t want to dumb down the Southeastern Conference to be a part of some super league notion with 70 teams that some people speculate would happen. They want to be us, and that’s on them to figure it out, not on me to bring myself back to earth.” Bevilacqua believes Sankey’s view is, per Russo, “short-sighted and underestimates the value of a big-tent version of college football.” In his own words, Bevilacqua says: “You, the SEC and the Big Ten, can be the big fish in a small pond or you can be the biggest fish in a much bigger pond.” (link)

NCAA SVP of Business Performance Brian Higgins joins Connect's Steph Garcia Cichosz to dig into the use of data in the most recent round of NCAA Championship site selections. Higgins also talks about the importance of incorporating fan demographic data into sport-specific sites, the value of data in elevating women's sports, long-term priorities for his unit within the NCAA and more. Higgins on the importance of the fan database: “We pick up data on our fans today from when they buy tickets – especially to our Division I events, those are all electronic tickets now – so you have to put in your email address and a little bit about yourself and that helps us know where you are and at least what sport you’re willing to spend money on to go see in person. People fill out brackets on NCAA.com and sign up for contests and and things like that and all that data comes together for us to know more about our fans know – what they like, what teams they like…[and allows the NCAA to] let them know there's a cool event in their area, let them know their favorite team is playing in their city – all of those things to activate college sports fans and show them events that we think they’ll like whether that’s on TV or in person.” Full discussion on Connect. (link)

Colorado AD Rick George believes the collective model will eventually change, positing that “we will bring everything in-house at some point. The student-athletes that can earn NIL will still have that ability to go above the cap, based on the settlement, to create business partnerships like Travis Hunter has with NerdWallet and Shedeur Sanders with Nike. I feel like we’re in a good spot today. We probably weren’t a couple years ago.” On how CU will approach scholarship limits, George remarks: “We may not go to the limit in some sports, we may in other sports. That’s something that we’re working through, but when the dust settles, it’ll be in compliance with Title IX.” George is also confident the Buffs won’t have to go down the path of eliminating sports. “We wanted to provide the similar opportunities today that we have for all of our student athletes. We also want to be as competitive as we are today. We don’t want to cut any sports and we want to provide similar benefits for our student athletes and what that will look like in a revenue share, those are some of the questions we don’t know yet. We’ll be ready to go based on the information we get.” (link)

Opendorse co-founder Blake Lawrence identifies an underreported component of the House settlement, pointing out that several Heisman winners, including former LSU QBs Joe Burrow and Jayden Daniels, former USC QB Carson Palmer and former Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield, won the award during their redshirt senior seasons: “With the new House settlement rules…[student-athletes are] limited to four years of rev-share payments. That means if you come in and you redshirt your freshman year, you got a medical redshirt in the middle of your career and you're heading into that fifth season, you've already gotten paid four years. So, what do you do? Do you stick around and play for free or do you leave for the pros before probably the best season of your career. We've seen NIL money  keep college athletes in college longer, but with new House settlement and the rev-share we could see that trend reversed.” (link) 

USC women’s basketball standout JuJu Watkins has agreed to a multiyear extension with Nike “that will give her one of the richest shoe endorsement deals in women’s basketball,” according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. (link)

Sportico’s Michael McCann unpacks U.S. District Court Judge Catherine Eagles’ denial of a preliminary injunction sought by North Carolina women’s tennis student-athlete Reese Brantmeier to prohibit the NCAA from enforcing its prize money rules against college athletes. Eagles explained that a preliminary injunction is an “extraordinary remedy.” Eagles also wrote the “evidence of harm to competition from the prize money rules”—the central thesis of the antitrust argument—“is remarkably thin” and explained that Brantmeier has not presented enough evidence regarding how many college athletes play each sport, how many prize money opportunities exist in each sport and the likelihood athletes within each of those sports would win prize money. Per McCann, Eagles was further “unpersuaded by Brantmeier’s argument that prize money restrictions reduce the number of college athletes who play in prize money tournaments. The judge reasoned the relevant market for Brantmeier’s case concerns college athletics, not non-NCAA events. … That’s not to say the NCAA fully convinced the judge it is on the right side of the law. … Brantmeier, who could appeal the ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, has not lost her case. Even though she has failed to obtain a preliminary injunction, she could ultimately win a jury trial over the same set of issues.” (link)
