As the College Football Playoff gets closer, Boise State remains in line to get the No. 4 seed, and Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark believes that would be the wrong decision: “Based on where we sit today, I see no rationale for the Big 12’s champion not getting a first-round bye. The winner of our championship should receive a bye. I have a lot of trust in the selection committee and I’m sure they’ll see it that way. Just look at the data. The data doesn’t lie. From a strength-of-schedule standpoint, all four of our schools at the top of the standings are ranked ahead of Boise State.” Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger notes that “Yormark is loaded with Big 12 data points. His league has 42 wins over teams with a winning record. The Mountain West has 11 (five of those from Boise and UNLV). Nine Big 12 teams are bowl eligible. The Mountain West has five. Boise’s strength of schedule is ranked 81st, 12 spots behind the worst of the Big 12’s top four teams (Iowa State at 69). The two leagues have actually met on the field eight times this season. The Big 12 is 6-2 with an average margin of victory of more than three touchdowns. UNLV holds both of the Mountain West wins (at Houston and Kansas).” Yormark: “Arizona State defeated Wyoming by 41 points. BYU beat them by 20. Boise struggled against Wyoming in a four-point win. There is no rationale for us not getting the bye.” Former Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson, meanwhile, says: “What’s happening with Boise State possibly getting a bye is not surprising. The Group of Five champion, if they have a big year, gets rewarded in the system.” (link)

While Temple President John A. Fry yesterday reaffirmed the Owls’ commitment to football, he did seem to confirm plans to build a football stadium are off, saying: “There is no conversation here about a new stadium. I think it’s a dead issue.” Fry noted the Owls have a “great partnership” with the Philadelphia Eagles and are contracted to play at Lincoln Financial Field through 2029. He also explained that last spring, before he arrived as president, the university had begun an assessment of its entire athletic program, not just football. “I will receive a formal report, probably next month. In their wisdom, the university was taking a proactive step [to] ... plan in a really dynamic and shifting landscape. ... They wanted to give me the benefit of the collective view of the state of the program.” Fry expects the search for a football coach to move quickly, with an announcement likely soon, adding: “We know we need to work on improving attendance. We think there’s nothing like a winning team to help improve attendance, which is why we are taking this current coaching search so seriously. We have to get this right.” (link)

Miami (FL) Deputy AD/SWA Rachelle Paul sat down with AthleticDirectorU’s Tai M. Brown to offer insight into the transition from being the AD at Saint Peter’s to her role in Coral Gables. Paul talks about her goal to gain experience at the FBS level before diving into the creative mindset that comes from working within a lower-resourced department and how her experience with the Peacocks informs her work at Miami. Paul also discusses her approach to hiring a head coach, noting: “Under the right leadership, anything is possible.” As such, a large part of what Paul prioritizes when hiring coaches is “who thinks they can be successful and is willing to kind of do whatever they need to do to be successful and is not going to be in the administrator's office every day or every month saying, ‘I want more of this’ or ‘We need to improve our facilities.’ It’s really just this mindset of ‘I'm the right person for the job and regardless of the challenges I can be successful here.’” Paul says the decision to leave Saint Peter’s was a difficult one in part because there aren’t many women in sitting AD roles. Additionally, she had just been named to the Men’s Basketball Committee “and that is something that athletic directors aspire to.” Paul also notes that she “had not had any FBS football experience and strategically my entire career I have made decisions ultimately that were going to provide a new opportunity and a new experience for me. I'm constantly learning and so that was really what kind of sent the decision over the edge.” More on ADU. (link)

JohnCanzano.com’s eponymous publisher examines whether the Pac-12 should and/or will seek to sell its basketball media rights separately from football and points out that “the typical ‘old-world’ Pac-12 basketball game averaged roughly 200K television viewers per game. Gonzaga captured more than 650K viewers per game over the last four seasons. How does that audience compare with some college football games in the previous few weeks? Some context: Maryland at Oregon (Big Ten Network) 817K viewers. USC at Washington (Big Ten Network) 727K viewers. San Diego State at Boise State (FS1) 656K viewers. Northwestern at Iowa (Big Ten Network) 609K viewers. UNLV at Oregon State (The CW) 507K viewers. TCU at Baylor (ESPN2) 483K viewers. UCF at ASU (ESPN2) 378K viewers. The Zags also averaged 3.5 units per NCAA Tournament over the last decade. Each unit is worth roughly $340K. Tournament units are paid out on a rolling basis for six consecutive years. The WCC harvested ~$7M yearly in postseason revenue from Gonzaga’s success.” Canzano goes on to point out that “Octagon isn’t just working with the Pac-12. It’s also the WCC’s agency and media rights consultant. The firm knows Gonzaga’s value and is versed in selling basketball as a standalone.” Octagon SVP of Global Rights Consulting William Mao told Canzano he’s under embargo and therefore couldn’t go into the details but added: “And in case you are still wondering: one leg at a time, left then right.” (link)

Former Kentucky students Ala Hassan and Lisa Niblock and others who joined a class-action lawsuit will appeal U.S. District Court Judge Karen Caldwell’s ruling that UK is compliant with Title IX. As reported previously, Hassan and Niblock filed the lawsuit in 2019, arguing that UK should have to add a women’s team in lacrosse, field hockey and/or equestrian. Kentucky AVP/Chief Communications Officer Jay Blanton did not indicate whether UK plans to file a cross appeal within the 14-day window but says in a statement: “We believe that Judge Caldwell was correct and we look forward to defending the judge’s reasoning and the University’s record in the appellate courts.” (link)

ESPN President of Content Burke Magnus comments on College GameDay analyst Lee Corso’s future with the program: “Listen, I think we’re going to do what we’ve done now for a couple of years running, which is, we’re going to have a conversation with him after the season, see where things are. He’s a special guy. He’s one of the nicest men any of your listeners or anyone on Earth has ever come across. And he’s been absolutely iconic on the show. We’re going to get through the Playoff this year. Let everyone decompress, and then we have some time to figure out what we’re going to do for next season.” (link)

Based on the Knight-Newhouse database, Penry Advisors has broken down donor contributions by conference, and the SEC was by far and away the leader in 2023, bringing in $655.6M, followed by the Big Ten ($470.4M), Big 12 ($367.3M), ACC ($302M), Pac-12 ($246M), Mountain West ($115M), AAC ($88.9M), Conference USA ($62.7M), Sun Belt ($35.5M) and MAC ($26.5M). Penry Advisors Founder Jason Penry points out that “jointly, donors to programs of the FBS contributed almost $2.4B in 2023. This is up from $737M in 2005. Donors (22% overall) are the second largest source of revenue for FBS programs behind NCAA and conference distributions/media rights/post-season football (28% overall).” Kennyhertz Perry attorney Mit Winter subsequently notes: “And, importantly, donor contributions are excluded from the revenue that the House settlement’s 22% is applied to for rev share cap calculations. A huge amount of revenue that athletes are excluded from sharing in.” (link)

In case you missed yesterday's Evening Standard...

As the post-House world slowly comes into focus, Kelleigh Irwin Fagan, partner at Church Church Hittle and Antrim, tells SBJ’s Ben Portnoy: “Any time you’re making payments to a student-athlete that has some affiliation with your school, how much can it get into the employment question? How much can you control, through payments, their activities without crossing that line? Maybe you can’t do that much without crossing that line, but all of these issues are so intertwined. Pulling one lever in one direction may impact something else on the employment side.” Smith College economist Andrew Zimbalist earlier this year noted that if Dartmouth men’s basketball student-athletes “are declared to be employees and they’re eligible to unionize, what it means is that every private school in the country will also qualify to unionize. That means Division II schools; it means Division III schools; it means my school, Smith College, because the basketball players at Dartmouth basically have the same existence as a DIII school.” Meanwhile, Athletes.org Co-Founder Brandon Copeland says: “Being an employee gives athletes certain protections and rights that they don’t have today, and that’s the minimum, that’s the standard, that’s the floor. I also think that, listening to our advisers and our legal counsel, there are certain things that being an employee would detract from the current college athlete experience. For some athletes, some of the revenue-generating ones, it would be probably perfect. It would operate much like it does at the pro level. For other athletes, it may end up hurting them in the long run.” (link)

CBS’ Dennis Dodd observes that “clarity on how and whether” to distribute revenue-sharing “is slowly coming into focus: if fully funded, football would get the overwhelming share of that $20.5M at a particular school – between $10-15M annually for the next 10 years; men's basketball would get between $2-4M; the remainder – a fraction, really – would go to women's basketball” and other sports. Therefore, it wouldn’t make sense to offer a men’s basketball player $4M, the reported offer BYU was willing to make to top 2025 recruit AJ Dybantsa. Kennyhertz Perry attorney Mit Winter: "Coaches who have been talking to [NIL] agents don't even understand. The agents don't even understand the House settlement at all, that it's going to have a cap. They're going to have to temper some expectations on how much guys are going to be paid. Definitely [in] basketball but maybe overall, too." Dodd submits that as revenue-sharing plays out, “it will be hard to argue against the SEC and Big Ten consolidating their power. The implications of the overwhelming majority – if not all – of those 34 schools being able to afford an extra $20.5M annually are more than about monopolizing recruiting. The two super leagues no doubt will use revenue sharing to make the case for increased influence, be it policy making in everything from NCAA rules to the size of the College Football Playoff.” One Power 4 AD tells Dodd: "This will be a separator. Maybe a national separation that we need. I don't know." To that point, one ACC administrator says: "Why are we going to spend $20M that we didn't spend last year? It really doesn't make sense that we're doing that. Spending [millions] on an average football player just because the SEC's going to do it? I don't pay our coaches the same that SEC coaches get." More from Dodd, including how commercial NIL activity might factor into the equation. (link)

While questions remain regarding the departure of Hawaii AD Craig Angelos, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser’s Dave Reardon wonders whether the next UH AD “will be expected to work without a contract and, like Angelos, as an at-will employee – meaning that they can be fired at will of the employer, without specific cause.” While such arrangements are good for taxpayers insofar as they forestall buyouts, Reardon notes they can make it difficult to attract quality candidates.” As far as specific candidates, Reardon points out that veteran NBA agent/former NBA AC Jarinn Akana has expressed interest in the role, adding: “Keith Amemiya was at Friday’s game, too. Gov. Josh Green’s sports task force chief was noncommittal about whether he would apply for the job in a text message response Saturday. And noncommittal is smart until you get a feel for what kind of job security, if any, UH will offer its next athletic director.” Amemiya tells Reardon: “If there’s a limit on the number of times a person can be considered and passed over for the position, I might’ve already exceeded it. But seriously, I’m grateful for my current opportunities at Central Pacific Bank (where he is a senior vice president) and with the Governor, so let’s see how the process evolves.” In addition to Interim AD Lois Manin, one person who won’t be interested in the position is former Football HC June Jones, who responded with a simple “yes” when asked by Reardon if it was safe to say he would not be interested.

Illinois State has opted to play its FCS Playoff opener on the road against Southeast Missouri State in order to host the state’s high school playoffs at their Hancock Stadium home. Redbirds HC Brock Spack: "I thought it was more important that we get the state high school football championships back on campus. They needed to hear it from me that we would go on the road if we had to that first week. This is where the state championships belong. They were here when I was in high school, and this is where everyone wanted to end up. You can't pay for this kind of advertisement for our community, for our university, and for our athletic and our football program." (link)

The NCAA Men’s Water Polo Tournament field is set with UCLA as the top seed followed by USC, Fordham and Stanford. The other four teams are Salem (WV), Princeton, California Baptist and Long Beach State. Competition begins on December 6. (link)

Georgia Tech has named Chicago Bears Manager of Football Administration/Pro Scout J.J. Cosh as Executive Assoc. AD for Player Management. In the newly formed role, Cosh will work directly with coaches and student-athletes to develop and implement Georgia Tech’s revenue-sharing strategy. Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger: “Expect to continue to see schools hire for such positions as the industry evolves into a more professionalized entity. These hires will do much more than just manage the new rev-share cap as ‘capologists.’ They will oversee new scouting departments and negotiate contracts.” (link, link)

NC State is partnering with Independent Sports and Entertainment to identify a new naming rights partner for Carter-Finley Stadium. Wolfpack AD Boo Corrigan: "With the blessing of the Carter and Finley families, we are able to pursue this opportunity to enhance our program in the new landscape of college athletics. We are grateful for their support through the years and for their understanding of our need to explore new revenue sources to invest in the development and success of our student-athletes.” (link)

Northwestern’s reconstructed Ryan Field “is intended to be not only college football’s most expensive venue, but its most reflective of the modern, live sports fan experience,” according to SBJ’s Bret McCormick, who cites the multiple premium offerings, sightlines and canopy covering every fan as examples. Ryan Sports Development Co-CEO Pat Ryan Jr. says there is still one pressing question which involves paying for the majority of the stadium project before turning it over to university ownership once completed. “Can this move us from a place where our season-ticket base is just Northwestern fans or will we also be able to add some part of the Chicago business community to support a premium program?” He adds: “Chicago is a pro sports town. The good news is people are willing to pay pro sports prices. The problem is you have to deliver something different than you do when you’re in a college town. The expectation of the Chicago fan, the Chicago corporate community, is for a professional-like experience, so that’s where a lot of these products came from.” If the corporate community does buy in – both figuratively and literally and literally – Ryan says the project will be” very financially viable, very financially dynamic. But that’s a theory right now, and we have to see if we can prove it out. We have every confidence that we will, but it’s never happened before; there has never been a premium collegiate experience in Chicago.” (link)

+ The Indianapolis Star’s Zach Osterman shares details from Indiana Football HC Curt Cignetti’s MOU and notes that it includes $11M for staffing, which is up roughly $3.5-4M. The buyout is 85% of remaining income but increases to 100% if IU makes the College Football Playoff or Big Ten Championship. Cignetti will earn $8.3M in Year 1, including a retention bonus. Should Cignetti leave before the contract is up he’ll owe the Hoosiers $13M in Year 1. That figure decreases to $10M, $9M, $8M, $6M, $3M, $3M and $1M in subsequent years, respectively. Cignetti can pick up a $1M bonus for making the Big Ten Championship, $1M for finishing as the CFP runner-up and $2M for winning the CFP. He will also earn $100K for winning five Big Ten games and $150K for winning six. His base salary starts at $6.8M and increases incrementally to $8.2M by the final year. (link)

Legal Matters…

+ In a filing with the Northern District of California today, the Mountain West asked the court to dismiss the Pac-12’s case regarding the legality of the MW’s poaching penalty, claiming the Pac-12 failed “to allege any harm to competition or to itself.” The Mountain West’s motion rejects the Pac-12’s claims that the poaching penalties are anticompetitive by arguing the Pac-12 “does not allege the existence of any defined market. The Pac-12 has not alleged that the MWC exerts any power over any market”. And the Pac-12 admits that Section 7.01 of the Scheduling Agreement is ancillary to a legitimate, pro-competitive purpose.” The Pac-12 maintains that “schools have departed from the MWC for other conferences in recent years. In none of those instances did the new conference pay the MWC ‘poaching penalties.’” (link)

+ A purportedly transgender San Jose State women’s volleyball student-athlete can continue competing, pursuant to a ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Judge S. Kato Crews, who wrote in his decision: “The movants have failed to meet their burden to show irreparable harm, a likelihood of success on the merits, or that the balance of harms or equities is in their favor.” Crews did acknowledge in the ruling that “no Defendant disputed that SJSU rosters a trans woman volleyball player” but added: "The movants’ Title IX theory raised in this case directly conflicts with Title IX’s prohibition on discrimination against trans individuals. … The threatened injury to the movants if an injunction issues is outweighed by the [Mountain West’s] interest in holding the upcoming MWC Tournament without an eleventh-hour shake-up to its currently planned structure. The relief requested with the Emergency Motion would risk confusion and upend months of planning and would prejudice, at a minimum, Defendants and other teams participating in the tournament depending on the results of any reseeding." Crews also denied Utah State’s claim to join the lawsuit. (link, link)

More NIL Today…

+ Sportico’s Daniel Libit reports that “BPS Foundation, the nonprofit partner of NIL collective operator Blueprint Sports, took in $14M in contributions last year – more than quadrupling its previous annual haul – despite mounting questions about the charitable purpose of it and similar organizations that pay NCAA athletes.” According to a copy of the organization’s 2023 federal tax return, BPS Foundation distributed $9.4M to athletes, and Libit notes the foundation has a shared services contract with Blueprint Sports, through which it paid the company $1.05M in management fees in 2023. Libit adds: “The two entities’ relationship, as Sportico previously reported, has drawn scrutiny from nonprofit experts, who question the public benefit of paying college athletes—even if, as BPS Foundation asserts, it facilitates their engagement with other public charities. In effect, the foundation serves as a tax-deductible passthrough enabling donors to receive a write-off for moneys that ultimately go to Blueprint’s for-profit collectives.” While Executive Director Andrew Beisel maintains the “BPS Foundation continues to operate within the rules and regulations of the IRS as a 501c(3) approved organization,” Libit points out IRS Deputy Associate Chief Counsel Lynne Camillo penned a memo in June arguing that the direct benefits for athletes provided by booster-funded NIL collectives likely undermined their claims of operating for an exempt purpose. “In response, a number of collectives that were seeking tax-exempt status decided to ditch that course of action.” (link)

+ USC women’s hoops standout JuJu Watkins has inked a new NIL with State Farm. SBJ’s Austin Karp notes that “as part of this new deal, Watkins is expected to appear in ads across TV and social media, and she’ll also rep State Farm at select events. Her first TV spot (alongside Jake from State Farm) will air Friday on Big Ten Network.” This is State Farm’s second college NIL deal after signing Iowa star Caitlin Clark last fall while she was starting her final season at Iowa.
