More from NCAA President Charlie Baker at yesterday’s Axios BFD event as he says of the potential of a super league breakaway that part of the reason major college football “stays inside the four walls of the schools is because it’s such a big part of people’s undergraduate and alumni experience. And do I think there's going to continue to be efforts made to find ways to enhance the value of that in the context of its TV ratings? I mean those two games last weekend in the SEC both had more than 10M viewers. I think the answer to that is yes, but when people start talking about mashing the whole thing together and sort of moving it outside the four walls of the schools – remember most of the kids who play on those teams are not going to play professionally. They still need to figure out what they're going to do with the rest of their life, so walking completely away from the academic piece…I would not bet on that.” In discussing whether schools will do their due diligence before accepting private equity deals, Baker remarks: “One of the things I think the settlement will do – because of the 22% of the ticket revenue, media rights revenue and sponsorship revenue will be considered part of what the schools are spending on their student-athletes’ NIL – I think schools are going to need to bring people into their athletic departments who are good at figuring this sort of thing out. And a lot of them have said they’ve already started to do that and they think they're going to have to get a lot more sophisticated about how they think about what they can do on the revenue side and the way they manage.” Baker envisions the schools and the conferences will take the lead on overseeing and regulating in that area.

Pittsburgh today officially introduced AD Allen Greene, who said he “hate[s] losing more than I like winning. We want to be successful. We commit ourselves to being successful. We want to win championships, both conference and national, and for those people who say it's not possible, go cheer for a different school. It is possible at Pitt, and we want to work hard every day to prove it.” Greene said he understands that excelling in non-revenue sports is important but added: “We also know that football and men’s basketball are going to be the drivers. And I want to make sure that those programs are set up and built for success, not just in the conference but nationally.” In talking about his success as a fundraiser over the years, Greene explained: “I don’t ask for money, never have. I explain a vision, express the vision and let the people enjoy the journey along with that vision.” Greene also talked about the need to be nimble as the ground beneath college sports continues to shift: “As we’ve talked about the changing landscape of college athletics, it’s hard to understand where the heck we’re going. We don’t know. What may be true on a Monday may not be true on a Friday, so it’s our responsibility to look around the corner sooner and further than others. It’s also our responsibility to act.” (link, link, link – presser video)

While the ACC continues to, as Commissioner Jim Phillips puts it, “tell our story better” when it comes to men’s basketball,” USA Today’s Dan Wolken observes the league “doesn’t merely have a narrative problem. The reason for its low bid count is mostly just math. The analytics used by the committee to sort and seed teams, which are largely influenced by non-conference performance and schedule strength, haven’t flattered the ACC recently. Since going to a 20-game conference schedule five years ago, ACC teams have had fewer opportunities early in the season to put non-conference wins on the board. And whether it’s transfer-heavy teams struggling to jell early in the season or a disproportionate number of teams going through difficult coaching transitions, ACC teams have carried too many bad losses and too few good wins into conference play, where they can boost each other’s computer numbers.” Wolken notes that “some critics of the NET think it’s too easy to game the system and it doesn’t necessarily reflect the true quality of a league, especially when a conference has grown as big as the ACC. However, math is math, and you’re better off figuring out how to make it work in your favor.” Duke HC Jon Scheyer: “We need to be smarter as a conference, the way we schedule in non-conference, and we have to control winning. But still for me, playing in the ACC and coaching the different styles of play, the different teams you play, prepares you the best for the tournament. There’s nothing you don’t see.” More from Wolken. (link)

ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg examines how football coaches implement hyper-specific situational plans, such as Oregon purportedly did against Ohio State by adding a 12th man to the field earlier this month, and explains: “Oregon staff members collect examples from around the football universe and watch the film of how the plays unfold. Then, Ducks players and coaches rehearse, hoping preparation will pay off but mindful that the right time might never come.” Ducks HC Dan Lanning tells him: "The amount of different situations you work week to week that never really show up, whether it's intentionally taking a safety or whatever that might be, you spend an ungodly amount of time on it. Then, you hope that you recognize it in the moment where you can have a chance to execute things." One Power 4 coach tells Rittenberg: "We all have stuff like that. You're doing nothing illegal. You're just taking the rule and saying, 'OK, if we ever get put in that situation ...' You've got to be smart enough to do it. You have to have enough clarity to call it and do it and believe the guys are actually going to get it executed, and know that the referees are going to get it right. It's the rule's fault; it's not the coach's fault.” Rittenberg goes on to highlight several instances over the years where teams have attempted to or successfully used the letter of the law to their advantage, including an attempt by Bowling Green to switch from an offensive formation to a punt formation in an attempt to draw a penalty on Minnesota’s nose guard for lining up within the snapper’s frame. Falcons HC Scot Loeffler checked with several “high-end officials” beforehand to ensure its legality. “They said it's absolutely legal and the minute that you do it, if it's executed, we'll have to make a rule change. Just listening to the voices of the people that I talked to, they wanted it to occur so they could change the rule, because it's a loophole." Loeffler also informed game officials who came back and said if they saw the formation change, they would make a verbal command to Minnesota's nose guard, which they did. Lots more. (link)

With revenue sharing on the horizon, this role will put Georgia Tech at the forefront of developing and implementing a management strategy to put our coaches and student-athletes in the best position to compete for championships at the highest level.” (link)

Virginia Tech has dismissed men’s basketball student-athlete Hysier Miller. While a reason for the dismissal has yet to be disclosed, Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde notes Miller was the leading scorer on last year’s Temple squad which wound up in the crosshairs of an investigation over unusual wagering activity. Forde: “It’s unclear what vetting Virginia Tech did of Miller’s time at Temple, but sources say new information came to light earlier this month regarding the probe at Temple. Tech posted a social media rundown of the Hokies’ guard situation from assistant coach Kevin Giltner last Friday that did not mention Miller, who was expected to provide an instant impact.” (link)

Wisconsin AD Chris McIntosh in a letter to the fan base about the House settlement writes: “Student-athlete opportunity will remain at the center of all we do. Our plan is to maintain our broad-based approach to supporting 23 sports, though the level of support we're able to offer each program will need to change. Above all, our overarching goal will continue to be for student-athletes to thrive within our program and earn a degree from our world-class institution. The environment in which we have been competing will be quite different in the future. The changes ahead will force us and athletic departments across the country to make difficult decisions given the financial impact of the settlement. We will adjust to the changing dynamics with our values and goals of academic achievement and a competitive athletic experience as our guide. … We are supportive of sharing revenue with student-athletes because it provides a level of stability in what is currently an unstable environment. However, to do that successfully, it will be critical for us to make adjustments in the way we have operated and to generate additional revenues through new opportunities. We also ask for your continued generosity and support of our program.” Full letter. (link)

West Virginia AD Wren Baker in a Q&A with BlueGoldNews.com says he’s “not okay with the number of transfers here or anywhere in the way the portal is set up because I think a situation where a student-athlete goes to four or five universities in their college career is not good for the student-athlete. There is no way they’re getting a quality education, and there is no way they’re learning life lessons that prepare them for the ups and downs of life and leadership and resiliency and toughness and all those types of things. … If you ask me the redeeming value of college athletics, it is that you have to go and function on a team. You may have personal goals, but you have to reconcile those with team goals and initiatives. You get coached and you get critical feedback in ways to get better, and you have to come back and get better. You learn how you’re getting better feeds into the team.” Baker goes on to explain that “you also have the whole team dynamic where you’re in the locker room where you have to try to get along with people who maybe you don’t have much in common with them initially. All those things are lessons in life. I have a friend who is high up with Northwestern Mutual, and they brand a lot with the NCAA. He told me that their branding initiative had nothing to do with getting additional clients. They wanted to be a brand student-athletes recognized because student-athletes had much greater success as aspiring agents for their company than non-student-athletes because of all the things we just talked about.” More from Baker.

The Clemson Board of Trustees approved a $150-per-semester student fee to support the athletic department upon the recommendation of the Finance and Facilities Committee. The university expects the fee to bring in an additional $7-8M for the athletic department. Tigers AD Graham Neff: “Students here at Clemson receive free access to all sporting events, including half of all student tickets for football games. Most Power 4 schools either charge a student fee or require students to purchase tickets. Every other NCAA Division I public university in South Carolina also charges an athletics fee. The request for motion is the implementation of a $150-per-semester athletic fee to be used solely for athletic operation expenses directly associated with student-athlete services and student experience beginning fall of 2025.” (link)

Extra Points publisher Matt Brown shares the executive summary of Project Rudy’s presentation deck, which “does not propose to share revenue equally among all members, like the Big Ten and SEC (and most other leagues) do with their membership. The largest and most successful brands will command a greater share of the pie. But the proposal believes that thanks to investor funding and substantially increased media and sponsorship revenues, every participating institution will still be better off than they were before. In fact, schools would be guaranteed a certain level of distribution.” The deck projects that if conferences maintain the status quo they will bring in a total of $13B over the first three years compared with $18.3B through Project Rudy. In years 4-12, those numbers are $64.8B and $74.6B, respectively. Brown notes that Project Rudy “aims to improve ratings and sponsorship revenues by simply getting rid as much of the [scheduling] fluff as possible, allowing the centralized league to create more premium matchups. Now, the question, of course, is whether dramatically increasing the supply of those matchups will do anything to diminish what makes them special, thus diminishing the potential ratings boom over time. Does Ohio State/Oregon matter the same way without Ohio State/Marshall and Ohio State/Akron as a comparison? I don’t know.” As for whether this would work, Brown believes more info is needed. “For one, based on my understanding of the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 and the Regents decision in 1984, consolidating the Tier 1 rights from all four P4 leagues would probably be illegal. The P4 would need congressional help to get this approved, and I imagine senators from, say, Idaho or New Mexico, wouldn’t be too excited about helping.” Lots more. (link)

Adidas has been outfitting Rutgers at a discounted price but without a contract since the end of the 2022-23 academic year, according to the Asbury Park Press’ Jerry Carino and Jake Matson, who note: “Though then-athletics director Pat Hobbs said last March that ‘we have extended our partnership with Adidas’ and ‘the contract is being finalized,’ a contract extension never happened. … An open records request of Rutgers' contract with Adidas revealed that Rutgers received $12.944M in value from Adidas and paid the company $16.257M over the six-year deal; the net result was that the university paid Adidas $3.313M over the duration of the agreement.” Carino and Matson posit that the “logical move from here is for Rutgers to partner with Nike, but right now the athletic department is in the process of exploring options with multiple outfitters. … There is no strict timeline for a deal, but the 25th-ranked basketball team’s season opener against Wagner Nov. 6 seems like an obvious goal date.” (link); NJ Advance Media’s Brian Fonseca adds that a school official would not say whether Adidas was among the companies to receive an RFP from Rutgers. Fonseca also reports the original pact between Rutgers and Adidas called for “exclusive athlete and staff use of Adidas products when engaged in athletic related activities included but not limited to: recruiting, training, traveling, competition.” But without a contract, the company “could not enforce those rules, and with Rutgers now looking for a new partner, it becomes a moot point.” (link)

Virginia Tech will welcome Metallica to Lane Stadium in May, and SBJ’s Ben Portnoy notes the concert has been in the works for two years. “First conceived in the athletic department as an appearance by the band to play ‘Enter Sandman’ live before a football game, that idea pivoted to a co-branded merchandise line between the group and school.” Hokies Executive Assoc. AD for External Affairs and Advancement Brad Wurthman: “You put Metallica in other college [properties], and I'm sure they'll do an amazing job. It just doesn't have the folklore aspect that they have here in Blacksburg. … This is the 25th year that we've played ‘Enter Sandman’ as the Hokies take the field. ... This has been a pipe dream for so many people for so long, and we did our homework. We found some people who had some contacts, and we called and worked through the process of ... ‘How do we just get you to come to Blacksburg for a game and play ‘Sandman?’ And we worked really hard on trying to make that possible.” Portnoy notes the concert is the latest in a growing trend of schools looking to further monetize their football stadiums. “Paciolan, the third-party ticketing solution company that’s under Learfield’s banner, has seen the number of live events like concerts jump from around three coming out of COVID to 44 last year. The stadium shows, Paciolan President Deana Barnes said, are also netting well into the seven figures in gross revenue.” (link)

A Los Angeles Times investigation finds that “USC quietly offered wealthy and well-connected families an alternative path to admission with much lower academic expectations and an acceptance rate of 85% to 90%. Internal records show USC fundraisers anticipated significant donations from families of those admitted and, in some cases, became enraged when money failed to materialize. When the Varsity Blues scandal threatened to expose the secret system, the university and some employees involved took steps to keep the details hidden, an effort that continued through at least 2022.” In one example, the Times’ Harriet Ryan and Matt Hamilton cite the daughter of real estate developer Jim Thomas who was accepted in 2016 as a tennis walk-on and never played for the Trojans. Former USC Assoc. AD Scott Jacobson in an email wrote to San Diego fundraising officer Karen Bowman: “Was there any talk of a donation if we got her in?” To which Bowman replied: “Yes, I spoke to them about a ‘gift [of] gratitude’ if we got her in. I told him 6 figures. He understood and seemed ok with this.” Thomas’ lawyer disputes the account, telling the Times: “As a USC alumnus, Jim Thomas regularly donated to his alma mater. He never made a donation approximating a six-figure sum and never suggested that he would.” Ryan and Hamilton also note Jersey Mike’s Founder Peter Cancro discussed how USC’s athletic department could help get his stepson admitted and wrote in an email to former Trojans Senior Assoc. AD Donna Heinel: “Planning to try walking on with tennis team as discussed.” Heinel later emailed Cancro to say: “In his essay [your stepson] states that he became tired of practicing tennis from 5-9 Pm every night so he quit playing tennis. It is hard to present a candidate as a walk-on tennis player when he states in his essay that he quit playing.” Lots more in an extremely in-depth article. (link)

Meanwhile, Rick Singer, architect of the Varsity Blues operation, tells Fox News: “Everything that the FBI and U.S. attorney and everybody else in the world says I did? I did it. … I’m the guy that’s hiding in plain sight. Nobody even knows who I am. Now, somebody may recognize me, and I can hear people talking. But nobody cares." According to Fox News research, at least 50 people had pleaded guilty or been convicted in the scandal as of October 2023, and Singer says: “I want to apologize profusely to all of the families that I’ve hurt, all the kids that I hurt. The administrators that I hurt. My own family.” Singer goes on to discuss how the operation worked and explains that "in 90% of the cases, the coaches every year are calling me saying, 'I got a spot open. I need to raise this amount of money. Find me a family.’ … The media missed that the colleges, they’re my partner in this. It takes two parties to play.” Asked if he thinks the college admissions system can still be gamed and if it's still being gamed today, Singer replied, "Every day." (link)

Tennessee Tech Football HC Bobby Wilder on Tuesday sounded off on the OVC/Big South scheduling alliance: "The first thing I'm going to do, because I'm pissed off right now, is address the scheduling model this league has, the scheduling model at Tech. This is absolutely horrendous. We're a 2-5 football team right now. We're beat up, lost our starting quarterback, and I inherited this when I got here. So, first two games, FBS; we play at Middle Tennessee, play at Georgia, who's No. 1 in the nation, get a bunch of kids hurt. Then we come home and play Tennessee State when we're still fairly healthy, even with a backup quarterback, and beat them. That's their only league loss, 6-2 and 3-1 right now. Then the league sends us on the road three consecutive times in the league on the road. I don't understand how that's even possible. And we've got to put up with it. So now we're sitting here at 2-5, we're all beat up; thankfully we just got our quarterback back. … In the big picture, the league has to change this or we're going to be a one-bid league. We've got nine teams in the league, five of us play seven away games, five home. Only four teams play six and six, which is unacceptable. All four teams who played two FBS money games all have losing records.” Wilder went on to reiterate that “I'm pissed about it. This bothers me. This is going to stay a one-bid league until leadership decides to make some changes. Because you look at the Missouri Valley, there will be probably six teams in; you look at the Big Sky, there will be probably four teams in. They have a smart model, they do it right, more home than away, they buy teams to come in to help with the schedule.” (link)

Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos said in a Q&A at the Wall Street Journal Tech Conference that when it comes to live sports, “Never say never, but I would say that right now we are in the live events business. There’s something very interesting and very exciting about when the world comes together to watch the same thing at the same time. They don’t do it very often. That’s what makes it so special. I think the leagues do a phenomenal job of building fandom, and for that, they get to keep all the money, and distribution’s a pretty low margin business for full season league sports, I do think if we can add some value back to them, which I think we do uniquely, we can make that work.” (link)
