Law360’s David Steele observes that the “absence of noticeable change to address” U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken’s concerns about the House settlement made Wilken’s “preliminary approval surprising, and those same problematic provisions likely will make final approval an uphill battle.” Baruch law professor Marc Edelman tells Steele: “Leaving aside the question as to whether I was surprised that Judge Wilken approved the settlement. I believed before, and still believe now, that there are meaningful long-term problems with the proposed settlement. Irrespective of whether or not the settlement should have been approved, the way it is written still leaves the NCAA member schools to substantial exposure under antitrust law. Despite lawyers’ contention, there is no way for a settlement of this nature to preclude future antitrust challenges to a salary cap – unless, of course, it is collectively bargained, and there is no collective bargaining here.” Indiana law professor John T. Holden saw nothing in revised settlement that would obviously sway it from rejection to approval but proposes it’s possible Wilken wanted to move the process to the next stage rather than keeping it tied up. “I think that’s kind of where I’m at now – ‘We’ve got this, all right, let’s see, are people actually going to object to this, or opt out of the settlement?’ Is there anyone that’s going to try to delay this, file some sort of appeal to the Ninth Circuit? It’s not a great legal answer, and I’m the first to admit that, but it’s a pragmatic answer.” At the end of the day, Edelman notes the biggest question remains whether the NCAA will have legal protection to maintain compensation restraints under antitrust law. “My conclusion remains that no, the NCAA member schools, do not – and thus, irrespective of whether the settlement is approved or not approved, future plaintiffs’ lawyers should be able to continue to challenge the settlement under federal antitrust law because, in essence, it continues to exist as a restraint on wages.” (link, link)

SBJ’s Ben Portnoy observes there are “discussions throughout the industry on basketball’s value in an even more football-centric college sports ecosystem,” and Indiana AD Scott Dolson tells him: “It is interesting to try to balance, particularly schools [with basketball tradition]. When we looked at making [a coaching change in football], we looked at schools like North Carolina and Duke, Kansas and Kentucky, and tried to look at schools that have a strong basketball tradition and how you build your football program together with that. I’m convinced that there’s no question you can have both.” WME Sports Co-Head/Endeavor EVP for Content Strategy & Development Karen Brodkin: “I’m not going to say anything stupid and say the value of college basketball from a media perspective is the same as college football. ... But I do think that delta is getting tighter.” Leading the charge on the value of college basketball has been Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark, who says: “I feel that basketball is undervalued, and there will be some upside in that part of our business moving forward, both short term and long term. As I look at the next TV cycle, we have optionality when it comes to how we might go into the marketplace. The traditional way is you bundle it, but we might or might not do that. Time will tell. But at least we’re in a position where we can look at that next TV cycle in a traditional way, or, for that matter, not a traditional way. It’s great to have optionality.” Portnoy points out that brands earned $482M in sponsorship exposure value from the NCAA men’s and women’s tournaments last year, per Hive, and Octagon SVP of Global Media Rights William Mao says: “If you look at the last couple of games of the [College Football Playoffs] compared to the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament, both of those usually fall within the top 100 broadcasts, if not top 150 broadcasts on an annual basis.” More.

NCAA VP of Women’s Basketball Lynn Holzman covers more topics with SBJ’s Ben Portnoy, including whether there’s still an appetite to combine the men’s and women’s Final Fours. “Attendance-wise, we sell out [the women’s Final Four] every year. We continue, obviously, to find a lot of ways to elevate the event and uniquely position ourselves differently than the men’s Final Four. So there is no current conversation around that, but none of us know what the future holds.” Holzman also acknowledges that keeping the sport’s biggest stars in college for multiple seasons helps to grow the game’s popularity: “It’s tremendously valuable. Many of the changes that have occurred within the NCAA, around the [NIL] opportunities, the social media platforms that are there for either self-promotion or programs to be able to promote, and the opportunities to tell these stories [are important]. We know from fan data that fans want to find ways to connect to women’s sports, female athletes and women’s basketball players. That has been a consistent thread over the years that we need to continue to maintain in order for those fans to stay invested. We have such great opportunities in front of us to continue to embrace and continue to evolve as the world changes.” (link)

The Georgia Tech Athletic Association’s annual budget grew by more than $22M from FY23 to FY24 and is projecting another $10M increase for FY25, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Chad Bishop, who reports that part of the increase includes a 30% uptick in the football program’s budget, which has been a point of emphasis. Yellow Jackets AD J Batt: “That’s a combined effort from donors, corporate partners, the institute continuing to support us and being aligned. Just continuing to innovate and find different ways to drive revenue and to grow our budget to the point where we’re competitive nationally in that space is important.” Bishop notes the overall athletics budget for FY23 was a little more than $105M and increased to nearly $128M for FY24. It is expected to cross the $137M threshold for FY25. In 2024, Tech also saw a $3M increase in ticket sales from 2023 and more than $9M in investments and endowments. Tech’s largest expenditure from 2023 was personnel (nearly $10M) and “general and administrative” (nearly $10M). The department projects another increase in investments and endowments by another $4M, $2M more in ticket sales and more than $2M in institutional support. (link)

The Washington Post’s Albert Samaha, Emily Giambalvo, Jesse Dougherty and Artur Galocha issued public records requests for NIL records from 56 public universities in major conferences. While “most schools refused to release any information, reporters ultimately obtained and analyzed records encompassing $125M in deals from 14 DI public schools.” Samaha, et al. found there are “disparities in whether — and how — universities maintain or disclose NIL records, making a comprehensive nationwide analysis impossible. With the bulk of funding shrouded in mystery, athletes have limited information to determine their market value.” Additionally, they note private companies “can bankroll publicly funded sports programs with little scrutiny. Including at the University of Colorado, where a production company with close ties to football coach Deion Sanders has provided nearly $600K to the team’s players.” In looking at UCLA student-athletes’ NIL endeavors, the Post reporters note the Bruins’ official collective “has distributed roughly $2M through NIL deals — all to football, men’s basketball and baseball players, the records show. The deals ranged from a $450K payment to a football player to 103 deals worth $500 apiece to football players for what was described as a “holiday post” on social media. Throughout 2023, the collective issued 46 payments worth between $1K and $5K to men’s basketball players, mostly for interviews, radio ads, and a March Madness event.” Also: “Of the more than 22K transactions in The Post’s dataset, nearly 13K were worth less than $100. Purdue’s records included roughly 8,000 of those transactions, in part because of how a merchandise company disclosed sales. At other schools, payments worth less than $100 accounted for anywhere from 18% of NIL transactions at UCLA to 60% at Illinois.” Lots more. (link)

Samaha and Giambalvo examine the way NIL functions specifically among women student-athletes and, as is the case across the board, companies are often more interested in players with large social media followings even if they aren’t big contributors to the team. Former Texas women’s basketball student-athlete Shaylee Gonzales was second-team all-conference heading into last season, but she was clear about what was driving her NIL earnings. “It didn’t matter how well I played on the court. Those brands just looked at how many followers you had.” Samaha and Giambalvo go on to contend that “while the women have exceeded the cultural relevance of their male counterparts, most continue to earn far less. … When they do earn substantial NIL money, The Post found, it often takes significant labor off the court for them to grow their online brands and secure deals. Gonzales and her Texas teammates earned a combined total of $435K in NIL income from July 2021 to July 2024, the records show. Their counterparts on the men’s team made a total of $4.8M, even as the women won more regular season and NCAA tournament games and had more than twice as many social media followers on their personal accounts at the end of last season.” UCLA Women’s Basketball HC Cori Close notes the “collective gets to decide the worth of an activity, the worth of an individual, what kids could get paid. We go into this year where we have unprecedented growth across the board in women’s sports, then we have collectives who take us back 50 years for women in sports.” Lots more. (link)

More from Samaha and Giambalvo on Colorado’s NIL setup, as they note SMAC Entertainment, which represents Buffs Football HC Deion Sanders, paid his football players a total of nearly $600K for appearing on or promoting Season Two of Coach Prime, the documentary series the company produced and sold to Amazon. CU Director of Athletics Strategic Communications and Spokesperson Steve Hurlbert disputes that SMAC was the football team’s biggest funding source, stating that the school’s NIL records contain “a fraction” of what athletes have received, including from booster collectives. “The onus of disclosure has been and remains on the student-athlete and many just choose not to do it.” According to Samaha and Giambalvo, the $594K provided by SMAC makes it CU’s largest NIL football vendor, followed by the Buffs4Life collective ($564K), Leaf Trading Cards ($400K), KFC ($378K), Overtime ($310K) and Google ($200K), among others. All but SMAC and Buffs4Life have deals with six or fewer players. For the Coach Prime documentary, SMAC issued nine payments to players for promoting the show on social media: two for $120K, one for $100K, another for $85K, four for $25K and one for $15K. The NIL records don’t distinguish which athletes received which payments. More. (link)

U.S. District Court Judge David O. Carter ordered the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to select a vendor within a week and have a contract three weeks after that to build modular housing on the parking lot of UCLA’s Jackie Robinson Baseball Stadium. The Los Angeles Times’ Doug Smith explains the order is “Carter’s opening gambit — in the judge’s words, an ‘icebreaker’ to cut through bureaucratic malaise — toward an ambitious goal. He’s ordered the VA to create up to 750 units of temporary housing in 18 months on its West Los Angeles campus and an additional 1,800 permanent units over six years.” UCLA has appealed, and Justice Department attorney Brad Rosenberg informed Carter the decision whether the government would appeal would be made by the Office of General Counsel, not him. UCLA previously proposed to nearly double the school’s rent and “cede” back two of the lease’s 10 acres. Carter took exception with the notion of UCLA “ceding” the property: “Unless the 9th Circuit reverses me, this is veterans’ land.” (link)

NCAA VP for Women’s Basketball Lynn Holzman joins AthleticDirectorU’s Tai M. Brown from the 2024 Women Leaders in Sports Convention to discuss the upward trajectory and momentum for women’s basketball. Holzman reflects on the “inflection point” that occurred for the sport in 2021, prompting a gender equity report and spurring an influx of investment into women’s basketball. Holzman: “The NCAA was put in a position to lead the way in the sense of owning some of the gaps that existed, turning that into action around investment.” Holzman also discusses the 2024 NCAA Tournament, which set records for attendance, ticket sales, social media engagement and TV viewership, and the several innovations around fan engagement and storytelling the NCAA has tapped into to ensure the moment becomes a movement. On the latter, Holzman cites ESPN’s coverage of the entire sport of women’s basketball, including college and the WNBA: “If you look at what they do throughout the entirety of the year to promote women's basketball, the regular [women’s hoops] season [goes] into our championship to then immediately the WNBA. The WNBA is finishing up right now, we're about to start the college season, so we have a year-round opportunity to lean into here.” Holzman also cites the fan database being built by the NCAA, which at last count, Holzman says had around 13M profiles. “That type of information allows us to really activate in a way – even our schools and our conferences being able to do that – to continue to make aware to fans when games are being played, what's going on with our programs and then it’ll carry through to the championship.” More on ADU.

CAA Commissioner Joe D’Antonio joined The Field of 68 as part of the league’s hoops media day last week and acknowledges it’s a difficult time in college athletics. “There's a lot of pressure on our coaches, on our athletic directors, on our presidents, but I try to instill this: we've really created something special here. We have a great group of schools now. Those schools stretch from Northeastern to College of Charleston, so there's a little bit of a geographic gap and it's created some challenges, there's no question about it. But amongst those challenges are there really neat things that you just talked about – they are all special campuses, great places to be, great places for student-athletes to experience a lot of different things other than just the opportunity to compete. And it's that level of – I'm going to almost call it an intricacy – that while the challenges are there, I think we've been able to overcome those challenges and will continue to overcome them because the pursuit of what we're trying to accomplish is so much higher than the challenges that are there.” D’Antonio also talks about why he works in college athletics: “There are very few professions around the country where you can say each and every day that you’re having an impact on the lives of young men and young women, helping them establish the foundation to hopefully secure their goals and dreams. And I think anytime you have a chance to work in higher education, anytime you have a chance to work as the teacher, anytime you're in a profession that gets to touch the lives of young people, that's a pretty special thing.” (link)

WCC Commissioner Stu Jackson joins The Field of 68 during the league’s mens’ basketball media day and calls Virginia Men’s Basketball HC Tony Bennett’s decision to retire “just one more indication of the volatile environment we’re in where the primary pillar of decisions are being made – and that's with coaches, student-athletes, administrators and, dare I say, presidents – that the financial needle is driving the game. And it's just caused this quagmire of circumstances that puts pressure points on everyone. In this NIL/transfer portal environment, many people say it’s like the NBA, and I’m quick to remind them it’s nothing like the NBA because the NBA has rules that protect franchises and, more importantly, protect players. And it’s a system that, like it or not, it works. We have no structure right now and we can only hope that improves over time.” Jackson says of a post-Gonzaga WCC that before the Zags left, the strategy would’ve been to proceed cautiously and be selective about expansion. “Now, everything has to be on the table, does it not? So, it may not be adding one member. It may not be adding two members. Perhaps it’s something much broader than that that we’ve got to consider. Because conferences prefer not to live day-to-day – like you lose one, you gain another, you’re recruiting the ones that you have – it’s just not a great way to operate. So, we have to look at ways, strategies that will help at least galvanize us for the foreseeable future.” More from Jackson. (link)

ECU has parted ways with Football HC Mike Houston. DC Blake Harrell will lead the Pirates on an interim basis for the remainder of the season. (link); Pirates AD Jon Gilbert met with reporters after the announcement and emphasized this was a “performance-based decision” and that “Mike Houston is a good man.” Gilbert also fielded questions about NIL and observed: “I think if you look at the college landscape as it relates to NIL, the better programs across the country – and then I would say, for the most part, the better programs within each conference – they are the most resourced as it relates to NIL. So, NIL is certainly not the end all, be all, you see upsets every weekend of a smaller school beating a bigger school that is more resourced, but if you go through each league and look who sits atop the conference, typically the schools with the most NIL are in the top of the league standings. So, I think NIL will play a big part in what the future looks like for our football program.” Gilbert notes departmental funds and institutional investment accounts will be used to pay for Houston’s buyout, which Gilbert says is less than the $3M quoted by a reporter. More from Gilbert, who says the House settlement and revenue-sharing will factor into the terms of the next HC’s contract. (link); According to USA Today’s Steven Berkowitz, Houston’s buyout is $3.3M with a duty to mitigate. (link)

U.S. Magistrate Judge Marty Fulgueira Elfenbein ruled that a Florida company known as Caneup LLC should be restrained from using the word Caneup in commercial activities in response to a lawsuit brought by Miami (FL). According to Sportico’s Michael McCann, Fulgueira Elfenbein, in recommending a permanent injunction be issued against Caneup, found that the university “established that Caneup, which has not defended itself, ought to be held liable for trademark infringement, unfair competition and several other claims; However, the judge found the company is not liable for a claim regarding national recognition”. As McCann explains it, Elfenbein “wasn’t convinced Canes and the U design are really that famous. She acknowledged there’s ‘little doubt’ the marks are ‘well-known and well-recognized to sports fans throughout the United States’ and they may ‘even be Barbie-level famous in South Florida.’ But the judge clarified the marks’ fame is ‘niche’ in that they’re instantly familiar to many sports fans but not so much the ‘general consuming public’ unlike, the judge noted, Kodak or Buick.” The injunction recommendation will be reviewed by U.S. District Judge Jose E. Martinez. (link)

Former Nike brand director Jordan Rogers weighs in on Rutgers men’s basketball student-athletes Dylan Harper & Ace Bailey wearing Nike shoes during a game at an Adidas school and says: “The short answer is it probably won’t happen again. … In this case, I think the loophole is probably [that it was an] exhibition game. I would be extremely shocked if these athletes are wearing Nike in an official game once the season tips off. Rutgers just re-signed a deal with Adidas a couple of months ago and the school apparel deals are huge. Rutgers, though, is a smaller priority school in the Adidas landscape. The biggest ones are going to be, like, Kansas, Miami (FL), Indiana, Texas Tech now with Patrick Mahomes. And so it's not as big of a deal – like this would never happen at Kansas or at Duke as a Nike school or at [North] Carolina for a Jordan school. There it would be sacrilege, but I guarantee you that [Rutgers’] athletic director has already gotten several phone calls from Adidas and this will be rectified pretty quick. It doesn't matter that one of these athletes does have apparently an NIL deal with Nike. … We saw [Duke men’s basketball student-athlete] Cooper Flagg wear New Balance at a scrimmage, but I assure you he will not be wearing New Balance during a Duke game. Same with these athletes.” Meanwhile, NBA veteran Ron Harper, Dylan Harper's father, says in a quote-tweet of Rogers’ explanation: “I bet Dylan Harper gonna wear Nike shoes all season long!!!!!” (link); In a separate tweet, Rogers highlights in apparel contracts the fines associated with players covering footwear branding, in which case “the contract gets reduced by 5%, then 10%, then 20%. … [Kennyhertz Perry attorney] Mit Winter thinks eventually schools will negotiate to allow player opt-outs, but that is not here yet. Schools are scrambling to figure out how to fill in tens of millions of dollars. There’s a lot of unjust policies that are going to continue to be litigated. This will be one of them.” (link)

The SEC has fined Texas $250K after fans peppered the field with trash during the Longhorns’ football loss to Georgia. The league says the fine was for "interrupting the competitive opportunity for both teams and endangering contest participants." It also requires Texas to "use all available resources" – including security, stadium and television video – to identify those who threw trash onto the field or at UGA players – and prohibit them from attending Texas athletics events for the remainder of the academic year. The SEC will not suspend alcohol sales privileges for Texas but says it reserves the right to do so if requirements are not met. Texas President Jay Hartzell, AD Chris Del Conte and Texas Board of Regents Chair Kevin Eltife issued the following statement on Sunday: “While we deeply appreciate the passion and loyalty of our fan base at The University of Texas at Austin, we do not condone the unsportsmanlike conduct that was exhibited by some individuals throwing objects onto the field during last night's game and sincerely apologize to the University of Georgia players, coaches, and fans, as well as the Southeastern Conference and officiating crew. This type of behavior will not be tolerated.” (link)

Overtime Founder/CEO Dan Porter talks with The Hollywood Reporter’s Alex Weprin about the company’s overall strategy and how it continues to grow and says: “I would say in general sports media is about talking to you about sports, and I think Overtime is about listening to you. It feels like this is your voice. It’s not about salary caps and judging all those things. It’s about culture. It’s about humor. It’s about going into the comments and responding to somebody.” Porter also says the rise of NIL has in some ways made doing business simpler: “We’ve always created content with athletes, and they’ve always benefited through exposure, but now we’re actually able to treat them like professionals and have contractual relationships with that. It’s giving athletes the opportunity to achieve what professional athletes get to achieve, and for the high school and the college athlete, we are actually their most likely partner in that.” Overtime has also leveraged its social acuity to strike content partnerships with the NFL and the NBC Olympics, enabling its talent to go behind the scenes at NFL games and the Paris Olympics to generate content, and Porter notes: “They really have kind of two main goals that align with what we do: One is reaching a next-generation fan who might not be like a television first watcher or anything else like that. And the second is helping their brand partners and sponsors get more digital distribution. And when you take the fact that we’re able to create a lot of fun Gen Z-oriented content around the sports without ever having to touch the actual rights or highlights … we’re also able to drive awareness and passion for those by putting them on our accounts.” Lots more.

Sports betting handle records “fell in seven of the 19 states that have reported for September thus far, with another eight states posting their best September ever,” according to SBJ’s Bill King, who adds: “The record-breakers included two top-12 markets – Massachusetts and Tennessee – and three states that have been open since fall 2021: Tennessee, Wyoming and Connecticut. The list of best-ever-Septembers includes three states from the Class of 2019 -- Pennsylvania, Indiana and Iowa -- as well as Michigan from 2021, which is further indication that the more mature markets continue to grow.” Meanwhile, Washington, D.C.’s September handle of $57.9M “nearly doubled its previous high of $32.8M – set when FanDuel was cleared to take online bets in May – and quadrupled its $14.4M of last September.” King also reports FanDuel revised its total addressable market forecast at maturity in 2030 from the $23B that it set two years ago to $39B, an increase of 70%. “That projection assumes that 80% of U.S. adults are able to bet online legally by then, a reasonable assumption that is the same as it was two years ago.” This year, FanDuel says it is on track to increase its gross gaming revenue to 13% and projects that it will hit 15% by 2027 before settling at 16% over the longer term. “Those assumptions provide the underpinnings for its expectation that it will generate $9.7B in U.S. revenue and $2.4B in adjusted EBITDA in 2027.” More from King.
