Tulane Sports Law Director Gabe Feldman talks with NCAA attorney Rakesh Kilaru about the preliminary approval of the House settlement, and Kilaru says it’s fair to say that part of what attorneys on both sides sought to do in the modified agreement was to educate U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken on why there needed to be restrictions on the third-party NIL. “I think the first thing to note is there were objections to the settlement and the objectors had the chance to be heard at the hearing and I think it’s notable that very little of the briefing that they submitted actually related to this third-party NIL issue at all. … So, in that sense it's not necessarily surprising that the judge had questions about this issue because it's something that maybe she noticed that no one had really sufficiently or thoroughly explained to her just because of the way the briefing had been set up.” On how attorneys addressed Wilken’s questions: “On the one hand, at the hearing, and as we all believe, some regulatory authority in this space of fake NIL, illegitimate NIL, was absolutely essential to have a deal. But I think it's fair to say at the hearing the judge had some questions about whether the term we had used in the first settlement of ‘booster’ is maybe a little bit too broad…so we did go back to the drawing board to some degree to try to figure out a way to pretty much end up where we needed to end up from a regulatory authority perspective.” As far as who can opt out and object to the settlement, Kilaru says that “as a descriptive matter the only folks who can lodge a formal objection to the settlement would be student-athletes, whether student-athletes going backwards or students going forwards – anyone who's in the classes. In terms of who within that group will then object is the folks who raised objections already. They may come back in and raise those objections again. I think it's worth noting that in the judge’s preliminary approval order she said, having considered the various perspectives that have been issued at this stage, she is likely to approve the settlement at the final hearing.” More.

The idea that the ACC-ESPN’s February 2025 “look-in” date could alter the nature of their media rights deal “appears to be based on a misconception, or at least a misunderstanding” of what it actually entails, according to The Athletic’s Brendan Marks, who explains the ACC “actually has two media rights deals with ESPN: one, its ‘base’ deal, which was originally signed before the ACC Network was announced in 2016, and which focuses on ACC programming on Disney’s main networks…and another, signed in 2016, which deals specifically with the ACC Network.” Marks notes that “only the ‘base’ deal is part of February’s look-in period; the second, ACC Network-specific deal already runs through 2036 – which has not previously been reported – and overlaps with the ACC’s larger grant of rights.” Therefore, even if the base deal were not picked up, the ACC would still have a media rights deal with ESPN through 2036, “which would seemingly protect the league from any Power 2 poaching. And what incentive would ESPN have to decline the ACC’s premier inventory? … Instead, [Commissioner Jim] Phillips and the ACC are approaching the look-ins as a way to negotiate in the margins of its base deal and maximize value for both the league and ESPN. Phillips said that could include negotiating for (among other things) better time slots for ACC games; putting more ACC games on the network’s top channels, instead of the ACC Network; and discussing ‘ancillary’ revenue splits regarding areas like advertising and carriage fees.” (link)

Creighton AD Marcus Blossom covers several topics with KETV, including the future of the Big East following Connecticut’s discussions with the Big 12, and says the league remains strong. “Best basketball conference in the country. I feel very good about the future direction of the Big East. UConn, wanting FBS football, they have to explore those opportunities. It wasn't a surprise, but I think they value the Big East from a basketball perspective as well, so we march on.” On NIL, Blossom says the Bluejays are “performing well in some sports and can do better in others. This is a change for all of the college programs and we're adjusting as time passes. So, we can always do better. I'm happy with our men's basketball collective, our volleyball collective has done very well over the past couple years, and we can improve with some of our other teams, so we're looking forward to doing that.” Blossom says construction has started on the softball facility and the field component is slated to be completed by the end of May 2025, with details on a new baseball facility to be revealed in the next few weeks.

Kansas AD Travis Goff expresses disappointment with the 1-5 (0-3) start for Football, but, “Does that mean it’s changed anything about our belief in the program and obviously the coaching staff and Lance at the forefront or any of the men in the program? I love those guys more this week than I did when we were 0-0, and some were talking about us winning a Big 12 Championship. I love these guys more because I see how they go back to work, stay locked in, committed, and haven’t changed their approach.” On facility progress in Lawrence: “We’re opening what I think is going to be the best home field experience for fans and the best home field experience for our student-athletes on August 23, 2025. Regardless of what happens tomorrow. Regardless of what happens the rest of the fall. It won’t change a single thing. It won’t change the broader university-wide vision for phase two of the project. That’s not overly reliant on wins.” (link)

Former UCLA men’s basketball standout/NBA veteran Matt Barnes joins the Now It’s Legal podcast with Athletes.org Co-Founder Jim Cavale and says he believes NIL is a “very important topic as the NCAA has always kind of been crooked when it comes to I guess sharing the wealth, for lack of a better word. All the money that standout athletes have made schools over the years – and there's actual numbers now to kind of show that – and the athletes never got a cut. Now that I have kids that are going to be coming through that same pipeline that I missed out on, I definitely want to be prepared, one, but two, if there's anything I can do to help, it is definitely where my focus is.” Barnes goes on to remark that “for people who get mad at athletes or say that it’s a business and it’s ruining college sports, I understand where they’re coming from. But you have to understand where these athletes are coming from is this is their one shot for most of them…so how can they secure themselves or set themselves up for this next phase of life?” At the end of the day, Barnes believes it’s incumbent on schools to figure out how to financially support broad-based athletic departments without cutting sports. He cites the ballooning costs of coaching buyouts coupled with the high rate of turnover and says: “You failed, why are you getting so much money to fail? On top of that, I went to UCLA and I love UCLA…and when I tell you every time I walk on campus there's a new building being built, there's always something going on, which means there's obviously money being donated and and generated, so I think at the end of the day, without actually knowing all the moving parts, I definitely think it should fall on these schools and conferences to be able to rebalance their budget sheets.” Full podcast.

Former Fox Sports President Bob Thompson joins the Canzano & Wilner podcast to discuss the Pac-12’s media rights strategy and says going to market without announcing the eighth football member is “not ideal, but it’s not dreadful either. I think the consultants and the conference can work together to come up with some numbers that would relate to whoever that eighth member is going to be and they’ll attach some value to that member. And then it's just a matter of getting the potential media partners to buy off on that idea, and I've seen it done before. I mean there's a lot of deals out there right now that have addition and subtraction language related to the recent rounds of realignment.” Regarding how the league will distribute revenue, Thompson says the conversation will include how Gonzaga fits in and whether the league will try to sell the basketball package separately. “Once that decision is made they’ll figure out who they’re going to target.” As far as value, Thompson says the “numbers I’ve seen thrown around might have been a little high in my mind but not outrageously. That was also before Gonzaga came about, but I'd still like to see who that eighth member is and how they're going to carve up the package.” In identifying the eighth member, Thompson says the league will likely consider a combination of geography/kickoff time, media market value, historic success and ratings. “I don’t know that there's the perfect candidate out there right now, so it's going to be whoever probably checks the most of those boxes. I'm kind of intrigued by the idea of a central time zone. You add a half-hour offset and you can do back-to-back games pretty easily.” More from Thompson, including his concerns about the lack of network executives on the committees promoting super league ideas.

D1Baseball’s Kendall Rogers highlights 12 ways the House settlement will impact college baseball, starting with scholarship limits. “Do not expect many – if any – conferences to have 34 full scholarships right off the bat. For instance, even a power conference like the SEC could end up allowing 22 to 24 scholarships instead of a roster of everyone on full rides.” Rogers also observes that “these new guidelines will essentially render walk-on programs at some college baseball programs void. If you have a roster of 34 players and 24 scholarships, chances are good you will distribute that money over 34 players. Also, with rosters trimming from 40 to 34, the ability for a walk-on to make a competitive roster dwindles. … I would expect many conferences to decide how many scholarships they will allow for baseball to come sometime in the next few weeks leading up to the Early Signing Period in November.” Rogers goes on to point out that many schools “could simply stack financial/academic aid on top of the actual scholarship cost, essentially allowing certain programs to get closer to the full scholarship threshold for 34 players. … Look for programs to get super creative.” Also: “The new roster and scholarship rules very much diminish ‘power conference’ recruiting in the high school ranks. If head coaches only have 34 roster spots in the SEC, Big 12, or ACC, for instance, they are much more likely to hit the transfer portal for more ‘proven’ commodities. … Look for mid-major programs to start stacking more premium-level talent out of the high school ranks.” (link)

Montana on Wednesday held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new $10.2M, 111K-sq-ft Grizzly Indoor Practice Facility. While primarily constructed for football, the dome will serve other UM teams, specifically track and field, as well as intramural sports and local community athletics. Grizzlies AD Kent Haslam says the next area of focus for facilities will be on the women’s basketball locker room. More fundraising is needed before construction can start, but Haslam says he would like to begin building sometime in the spring. (link)

College Hockey Insider’s Mike McMahon unpacks what the NCAA’s expected approval of a measure to allow CHL and European players to play college hockey means and doesn’t mean. First, McMahon notes that those players who’ve signed NHL contracts remain ineligible. “The NCAA is saying that a player will not be penalized for playing alongside a professional player as long as that player has not received more money than necessary expenses.” McMahon also notes that “I'm not sure if the CHL rule will allow NCAA players to attend NHL training camps, but other changes on the horizon could open that door. The DI Council said additional topics for consideration include: ‘Post-enrollment involvement with professional teams or events and access to agents for student-athletes considering professional opportunities outside of men's basketball.’ ‘Post-enrollment involvement with professional teams’ would be a drafted player attending an NHL training camp. The second part of that topic for consideration is players' right to hire agents. That's not a huge change because most family advisors are certified agents, and their roles are mainly the same.” McMahon doesn’t expect the rule change to have much of an impact on the USHL, but the Jr. A leagues in Canada and Tier II junior leagues in the U.S. may experience the most disruption. “By conservative estimates, 100-200 CHL players per year could consider moving to college hockey. Those players won't replace players from the USHL. They'll replace players from the BCHL, NAHL, AJHL, etc.” (link)

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)

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)
