Freshly minted UIC AD Andrea Williams’ five-year deal includes a base salary of $300K per year with the potential for an additional $150K “based on achievements established by and at the discretion of the Chancellor,” per CollegeAD. The Flames would owe Williams half of her remaining salary for parting ways without cause, and Williams would owe the school the same for leaving before the contract expires. (link)

New Mexico officially introduced new AD Fernando Lovo in a press conference yesterday, during which Lovo remarked: “I think it’s too early for me to sit here and speculate what exactly needs to be done, but what I do know that needs to be done is we need to take a holistic look at all things. The first thing I want to do, and need to do, is to listen and to learn, because without that information, you know, I can’t strategize what the next step is for New Mexico athletics.” Lovo also said he spoke with the football team following its season-ending loss to Hawaii and told them there’s “no reason to hang your heads … [HC Bronco Mendenhall] says his goal is to capture hearts and minds. And not only did he do that to his team, but he did it across the state, in this community, on campus. Just really a tremendous job within the first season.” Lovo also said he believes UNM has a bright future under Mendenhall. “You can tell that they’re hungry for more. They want more. And so to me, when you have that underlying tone and underlying theme in your program and you have a really set culture that has clear benchmarks of what’s next, the potential is frankly unmatched.” When asked about Mendenhall’s name being linked to other jobs, Lovo said he, along with UNM President Garnett S. Stokes, is planning to propose “aggressive” investments in “[Mendenhall], his program, his staff, all of those things that he needs” to ensure he remains with the Lobos. (link)

Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark is the latest industry leader to voice displeasure with the College Football Playoff rankings, saying: “In no way should a Group of 5 champion be ranked above our champion. … The [selection] committee continues to show time and time again that they are paying attention to logos versus resumes. Strength of schedule should matter and wins against Power 4 opponents should matter.” Yormark noted that Arizona State and Iowa State each played 10 of 12 games against Power 4 opponents this season, while Boise State faced just one in Oregon (though The Athletic’s Justin Williams notes the Broncos did defeat Oregon State and Washington State). Yormark also cited Boise State’s ranking as justification for the Big 12 champion being seeded above a three-loss at-large team. “The committee clearly focuses on the win and loss column. Going by that principle, no three-loss team from a Power 4 conference should get a bye over a two-loss champion from the Big 12.” Moving forward, Yormark said the “one thing that I am concerned about, candidly, and something I’ll address with [CFP Executive director] Richard Clark at the right time, is that I need to better understand — and I think I speak on behalf of the full management committee and the commissioners: What are the key metrics that are being used as we think about the rankings each week? Because strength of schedule was something that was identified for me early in the fall as a very, very, critically important metric, and I’m not sure that has happened, at least to date.” (link)

South Carolina Football HC Shane Beamer comments on the seemingly nebulous role strength of schedule plays in the College Football Playoff selection process: "Is there anything to gain by playing in some of these games out of conference? It’s something everyone – not just us but everyone – needs to look at because clearly you can go through an entire season, not beat a ranked team and be in the playoff if you just win. I'm a competitor. I love playing in those games, I'm looking forward to playing Virginia Tech in Atlanta next season, but the committee made it very clear that they really don't give a hoot who you beat. Just don’t lose three times and you're in, even if it means you never beat a ranked opponent – not one. Don’t beat a ranked opponent but just win the games on your schedule and you're in. They made a pretty strong statement about that, absolutely.” (link)

Attorneys for Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia and the NCAA argued their cases in front of U.S. District Court Judge William Campbell Wednesday regarding Pavia's lawsuit over eligibility rules for junior college players. Ryan Downton, one of Pavia's attorneys, said that while he hoped that a decision would be issued by the time the transfer portal opened Monday, he was not optimistic after Campbell asked both sides when the transfer portal closed (December 28). The Tennessean’s Aria Gerson reports that “one point of contention between the two sides was the extent of discussions regarding the NCAA potentially allowing all players five years of eligibility, with no redshirts. Pavia's side cited news reports stating that such a change was being discussed, while the NCAA argued that no formal process had begun to change that rule. The judge requested clarification from the NCAA by Monday about the extent of such discussions. … A decision was not issued by the end of the 2½-hour hearing, with the judge instead taking the case under consideration. It was not immediately clear when a decision would be issued.” (link)

Women’s Volleyball continues to surge as the regular season was the most-consumed on record for ESPN with fans viewing for a total of 635M minutes. Average viewership was 140K per game, a 21% increase YoY. Viewership also increased YoY among women (+20%), P18-24 (+70%) and P2-17 (+90%). (link)

Florida rolled out an Express Entry program with facial authentication provider Wicket for the last two home football games at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, and Gators Assoc. AD for Ticketing Mike Castle says the benefits were quickly apparent: “For me, it’s a no-brainer on trying to solve a problem that is probably one that fans are most vocal about. You spend the whole afternoon amped up to get to the game, you’re out there tailgating, and then your first experience in walking in the front door is that it took longer than you would hope to get in. If we can solve that problem, we’re already starting their game-day experience – the moment they walk in the stadium – as an improved experience.” Ahead of the implementation, UF shared information about the Express Entry lanes to entice fan signups and positioned QR codes around the gate for those who wanted to sign up on arrival. The Gators also stationed staffers to provide more information. Castle: “I saw a lot of people do it and kind of go ‘Wow, that was easy.’” Castle didn’t share total signup numbers for Express Entry, but he did say that both game days featured a large number of on-the-spot signups. For example, the Ole Miss game yielded approximately 300 new registrations at the gate. Wicket COO Jeff Boehm says UF was one of a handful of universities it’s worked with as it looks to expand its college sports footprint. “This year will be limited. But as we look into next year and potentially other sports as well…I’m excited to see the potential.” (link)

CBS’ John Talty takes a look at the impact Nike Co-Founder Phil Knight had on Oregon’s recruitment of five-star cornerback Na’eem Offord, who flipped his commitment to the Ducks from Ohio State yesterday. Offord himself says Knight "played a big role, like a huge, big role. He's actually waiting on me to get up there, he's got a lot of stuff planned for me. He's gonna help me make my shoe." Offord goes on to say NIL wasn’t a major factor in his recruitment because the number would’ve been roughly the same wherever he went. “NIL is cool but anybody is gonna want endorsements. I'm gonna need endorsements all around and I feel like Phil Knight will help me with it. He can play a big role and help me with endorsements and marketing." As for Knight’s overall involvement with UO’s NIL efforts, one NIL agent tells Talty that Knight signs off on every Division Street contract. Another agent says of the UO-focused collective: "They are extremely sophisticated and know exactly what they're doing. I find it a pleasure to work with them because they are so professional. They are super easy to work with." (link)

Massachusetts will have nearly $2M in NIL/revenue-share for the 2025 season and $3M for 2026 (presumably for football), according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, who adds: “Those numbers are guaranteed, according to sources, which means they don't have to go out and fundraise.” New Minutemen HC Joe Harasymiak will also have $2.7M to pay ACs, which Thamel notes “projects to be the highest staff pool in the MAC by a significant amount.” Thamel also notes Harasymiak is “expected to agree to a five-year deal worth between $1.3M and $1.4M annually.” (link)

D1.ticker’s Kristen Eargle is joined by Valparaiso AD Laurel Hosmer, Southland Chief Strategy Officer Breon Dennis Jr. and Abilene Christian Director of Ticket Sales and Fan Relations Jarett Hart to talk about why their institutions selected vivenu as their ticketing partner. Hosmer explains the Beacons’ focus was on enhancing the customer experience and “when we were going through the selection process, the customization and relationship piece that came with partnering with vivenu and the various items they offer for enhancing our experience for our customers really set them apart.” Dennis adds that it’s been a “great turnkey experience for us and they have a phenomenal success team that I’ve been working with that has made things seamless for me. Even though at times I’m a rookie in this space, they make it seem like I’ve been doing this for quite a while.” One benefit that Hosmer finds particularly valuable is the ability to capture the information of customers who visit the ticketing website to integrate into the email marketing platform, “and that’s a huge enhancement for us. We can also retarget them in our metacampaign. So, just adding a level of sophistication for us that’s really seamless and doesn’t require a lot of manual work.” Another value-add is the ability to customize tickets to create specific sponsor activations. Hart notes that while ACU has a lot of season-ticket holders and a lot of outreach to be done, vivenu offers the tools of a growing organization “whereas in other places I might have reached my cap or been able to stay stagnant.” Lots more on how vivenu is serving industry partners.

South Carolina has finalized a six-year deal with TCU AD Jeremiah Donati to take over as the Gamecocks’ next AD, according to Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger. Funk Associates assisted with the search. According to FootballScoop’s John Brice, a “formal announcement is expected in the coming days.” Sports Illustrated’s Bryan Fischer says Donati’s deal is “believed to make him one of the top five highest paid ADs in the SEC.” (link, link, link)

Tennessee AD Danny White says he’d like to see more objectivity in the College Football Playoff selection process: “I don’t think there was anything wrong with the ranking system of the old BCS. The problem with the old BCS is it was only two teams. So we’ve got the number of teams right now with 12 – I'd love to see it go all the way to 16 – but we’ve now introduced this really subjective rankings process that I think is unnecessary, and I'm not going to throw stones at a committee that I'm sure they're all doing as good of a job as they can, and they're trying to work through it. I think those are good people working in earnest. I’m certainly not going to throw stones at other teams. … I will, though, criticize the fact that we don’t have a more objective computer-based ranking system that just makes it very clear. Everyone understands what the parameters are and it is what it is. I think it would leave a lot less consternation on the back end that we're seeing all across the country right now.” (link)

With the elimination of NLIs, On3’s Pete Nakos notes signing bonuses are “becoming the norm in recruiting, ranging from $10K to six figures depending on the talent. Contracts are being frontloaded before revenue sharing begins, so deals don’t need to go through an arbiter. NIL collectives are handing out signing bonuses to ensure commitments and avoid flips. The National Letter of Intent rule changes prohibit recruits from signing multiple valid aid agreements. … If the dollars on paper do not line up, recruits can not sign paperwork and open their recruitment. As Wednesday progresses and top recruits make final decisions, financial decisions will be made.” One Big 12 HC recently remarked that “this is the first year that the first, second or third question has been about money. At the high school level that hasn’t been like that. It is now. Before this year high school recruiting was still pretty old-school for the most part but now it’s a lot about money. I think this will be big for them and us.” While it remains to be seen how NSD will play out in the aggregate, another Big 12 source recently predicted: “It used to be two separate things. Sign the dotted line and get the kid in the building. Then figure out the financials. Now they’re combining it into one thing, and that is going to f*ck up a ton of signings. This is going to turn into a sh*t show.” (link)

AD Advisors, the collegiate consulting firm led by former Auburn AD Jay Jacobs, former George W. Bush White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, international high-performance well-being expert Carlette Patterson, and C-level major league sports executive Jeff Holbrook, has studied 800 FBS portal entrants going back to the 2020-21 transfer portal window and found that 60% of those entrants “transferred down” while 10% were not picked up at all. Jacobs consequently notes that “sometimes we get so blocked by our view of the one-third that is making a big jump or becoming a starter to a Power Five we don't really realize what is actually going on underneath the water of that iceberg.” The study also found that one-third of entrants transferred multiple times in their careers, with a large percentage saying student-athletes can be lured into the portal with the promise of lucrative NIL deals and other benefits. Jacobs points out the information regarding NIL’s impact on the portal was not quantitative, but the study was able to document through interviews the impacts NIL has on the decision to transfer. “It’s often a major reason why athletes transfer, but we also found through interviews that it can lead to deceit and empty promises.” Overall, Jacobs believes there are “probably several different things that could come out of this. I don't think there's one proposal that would be beneficial across all the parties involved, student, athletes, coaches, administrators, fans alike.” The sample of schools AD Advisors researched were Kansas, Georgia Tech, Texas Tech, Michigan State, Colorado, Indiana, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisville, Oregon, Ball State, Boise State, East Carolina, Arkansas State, and Western Kentucky.

SBJ’s Bret McCormick takes a look behind the scenes of the Rose Bowl’s $80M renovation and notes it’s trickier than most renovations because of the stadium’s designation as a National Historic Landmark. Rose Bowl CEO Jens Weiden tells McCormick that with UCLA joining the Big Ten and the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup and 2028 Olympics looming, the timing was right to make some upgrades. “The building has received all these different uses” over the decades and “this is an investment in that business.” The stadium’s historic landmark designation, Weiden adds, “makes doing everything more difficult, but that’s also the magic.” To embark on the project, McCormick explains Weiden’s team “worked with Historic Resource Group, a national consulting firm also headquartered in Pasadena, to ensure the renovations — designed by Gensler — didn’t diminish the historic character of the stadium and repeat the fate of Chicago’s Soldier Field, which lost its National Historic Landmark status after a poorly received 2002 renovation.” The first phase, which carries a price tag of roughly $35M, includes many components that have already been completed, including UCLA’s standing room-only student section, but McCormick notes that the “highest profile changes are still to come. The $20M South End Zone Field Club is scheduled to be completed by the 2026 college football season, and will give the Rose Bowl field-level premium for the first time. The club will have room for 900 people with their seats perched above the field-level space, and UCLA’s football team will run onto the field through the club. It will create new revenue streams for the stadium, including premium seating income and LED signage inventory and sponsorship revenue. In August, the Rose Bowl found a new sponsorship sales agency (alongside UCLA) in JMI Sports, and part of their 11-year deal, Weiden said, was an $8M capital investment by JMI into the new end zone field club.” More on the renovations.

ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips tells Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger: “If you want to kill the conference championship games, have somebody who is within the top 12 play for a championship and have them fall out and be leapfrogged.” SMU AD Rick Hart adds: “You talk about the future of championship games. Well, I do think how this plays out could shape that. It doesn’t make sense for a team in the playoff field when the regular season ends to play a 13th game if it’s going to be used against that team. How this plays out will shape the future of conference championship games.” There is also a disincentive for teams who are already in to fully embrace conference championships, as former Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson explains: “There is a risk-reward. I think each conference is gonna have to look in the mirror [and say],‘The model has changed. I’d rather be in a 12-team playoff than the conference championship.’” To Georgia HC Kirby Smart, it depends on who you ask. “When you ask a guy that's been in the SEC for about 30 years, has only been a part of five or six of them, five or six national championships, it's equal to that to me because it's just as hard, it's just as elusive. It's an extreme honor to make this game with the schedule that you have to go through, then with an opportunity to win it. … I mean, we put the SEC championship on a wall and it's there forever.” The Big 12 Championship represents another complicating factor, which Commissioner Brett Yormark highlights: “It’s playing out that our championship game is critically important to both of our schools. It’s a tentpole event and we’re committed to it. For this particular season, it’s going to matter. Win and you’re in.” Lots more, including how eliminating title games and moving the postseason up by a week could benefit the CFP overall. (link)

SMU Football HC Rhett Lashlee believes coaches will want to skip conference championship games (or bench starters) if SMU loses the ACC Championship to Clemson and drops below Alabama in the College Football Playoff rankings, telling On3’s Andy Staples and Ari Wasserman: “If our team all got COVID today and didn't play we're in. Right? We don’t have another datapoint to drop us below anybody that’s behind us. … I think if you open up that door, you’re going to see a lot of people do a lot of crazy things. We’re not going to. We’re going to go play in Charlotte and we're going to try to compete for our championship because that's the right thing to do. That’s what competitors do. We value an opportunity to share the field with someone like Clemson, a fantastic team, and try to do something special. And so like I said, I'm going to choose to believe that on Sunday that the right thing will be done as well on the other end.” (link)

Miami (FL) Football HC Mario Cristobal complains that his team was “not assessed justly and fairly” by the College Football Playoff Selection Committee: “Winning 10 games is exponentially harder than winning nine. This whole, ‘This conference is better than that conference,’ some of the teams are, but not all the teams are. Never once were we in a blowout loss against a .500 team.” In comparing the Canes to Alabama, Cristobal notes his team was 4-2 on the road against teams that finished .500 or better while Alabama went 1-3, adding: “I worked at Alabama, and it was an honor to work there, during a time when it (went) on an epic run. But times have changed, football has changed. It’s hard to find a weekend where there’s not several close, tight games and upsets because the margins in college football are super thin. Winning gets harder and harder, and there’s a lot more parity. … It needs reexamination and assessment so it can be done the right way. So much is on the line.” (link)

Ole Miss Football HC Lane Kiffin has some questions for the College Football Playoff Selection Committee: “You guys actually meet for days and come up with these rankings?? … Do you actually watch the quality of players, teams, and road environments (we played in one of yours [the ACC’s] this year [sleeping z’s emoji]) or just try and make the ACC feel relevant?? Btw one of your teams paid us not to play again next year. Same #12 spot you guys had Clemson ranked last week. How did that go against the SEC??? Rewatch UGA-Clemson closely if you want a reminder of the two conferences. #SpotTheBall anywhere, @ACCFootball. #RememberTakeAKnee.” (link)

Fox's 12.3M viewers for this year’s Michigan-Ohio State football game is the matchup's lowest figure since 2017 (10.5M), according to SBJ’s Austin Karp, who notes it’s still the second most-watched college football game and most-watched Big Ten game of the season. Fox Sports President of Insights and Analytics Michael Mulvihill adds that the 2024 college football regular season is the “most-watched ever with over 161B minutes of viewing across all rated networks. Beats last year’s then-record by +6%. Army-Navy still to come but won’t change the story.” (link, link); Texas-Texas A&M’s matchup on ABC was the network’s most-watched of the weekend, averaging 9.5M viewers with a peak of 10.6M. Georgia-Georgia Tech averaged 8.5M with a peak of 11.5M in OT. The Alabama-Auburn matchup averaged 7.4M viewers, peaking at 8.6M. (link)
