The Ivy League will begin participating in the FCS Playoffs starting next season. Executive Director Robin Harris: “The Ivy League prides itself on a storied tradition of impact, influence and competitive success throughout the history of college football. We now look ahead to a new chapter of success and to further enhancing the student-athlete experience with our participation in the NCAA FCS playoffs. I want to commend the students on our SAAC for their thoughtful and thorough proposal as well as their commitment to the league’s legislative process.” Yale football student-athlete Mason Shipp, who serves as the Ivy League SAAC chair and penned the proposal: “It’s a monumental day in the Ivy League and a special day to be an Ivy League student-athlete. Thank you to the Presidents for listening and responding to the voices of your students. For the future generations that are fortunate enough to represent the Ivy League in the FCS playoffs, go win us some hardware!” (link)

Alabama AD Greg Byrne weighs in on the possibility of student-athletes becoming employees: “I would hope we can find something that doesn’t require them to be employees. We’re also a right-to work-state, right? Unionization in right-to-work states is a really challenging thing. I’m not an advocate for it. I’m hoping we can find a model that will allow us to have college athletics with a lot of kids participating and have an opportunity from a male and female side that will allow kids to go out and wearing the script A and compete for the University of Alabama.” Byrne also says reports indicating the Crimson Tide offered star men’s basketball recruit AJ Dybantsa around $5M were inaccurate but adds: “We have been competitive in the men's basketball space from an NIL standpoint.” (link, link)

More from Byrne in a letter to fans writes that “now is a time for action” on the NIL front. “Although we have been competitive from an NIL standpoint, our competition has us in their sights and are actively trying to surge ahead with NIL. You have heard examples of other teams using promises of million-dollar paydays to lure away our players or convince them not to come to Alabama. It is time for the Bama Nation to fight back.” Byrne encourages supporters to subscribe to Yea Alabama and writes: “A subscription to Yea Alabama isn’t about the now; it’s about the future. It’s about roster retention for future seasons – keeping our legends in Crimson. It’s about attracting and developing the best recruits in the country to represent the script A. You being a part of the team has never been more important. At Alabama, we’ve not measured ourselves against our competition. We are the standard, and that measurement is against the mirror and against a rich and proud history, but it’s impossible to ignore what is taking place in college athletics. Hungry fan bases are acting decisively to give their respective programs competitive advantages. We must respond. We are Alabama.” Full letter. (link)

The Dallas Morning News’ Myah Taylor profiles Texas AD Chris Del Conte, who notes that “Darrell Royal had a saying: ‘A united Texas is a reckoning when all the BBs are in a box.’ Once the BBs get out of the box, they’re scattered. But when you put them all back in, you can do great things. … The whole job is just keeping the BBs intact. One gets out, you go get it.” As for his leadership style, Del Conte says he “can help shape my character and who I am by reading. By learning, stealing ideas.” That idea-stealing led him to study Disney and the Ritz Carlton for football game day inspiration. “You look at Ritz Carlton, how they treat their customer. We’re not Ritz Carlton or Disney, but can we apply the same principles to what we do? All the bananas stuff we have on game day here is all about saying, ‘Guys, come spend the day with us and we may or may not win the game, but you’re helping young kids change their life and fulfill their dream. At the same time, we want you to be a part of it.’” Beyond shaping the game-day experience, Del Conte has positioned the Longhorns for sustainable success going forward, and President Jay Hartzell says: “I talked to Chris about where he saw college athletics heading and he was prescient. He saw that it was moving toward an era where the big brands were going to align in many ways to become more economically motivated. And [that] student-athletes, when they could start to participate through NIL and those kinds of things, were going to have a desire to be on the biggest stage.” Del Conte: “You only feel pressure if you’re not prepared. The winning tradition of the University of Texas shall not be entrusted to the timid or the weak. That sums up Texas. You have to be prepared for that.” (link)

Boise State has joined Colorado State and Utah State’s lawsuit against the Mountain West over the league’s exit fees, per Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger. (link)

Kansas, in partnership with Walz Tetrick Advertising, has introduced FLIGHT, which is designed to build “powerful personal brands for student-athletes and connect them to corporate partners for opportunities to enhance the use of their [NIL]. FLIGHT replaces the department's former NIL endeavor Jayhawks Ascend. Jayhawks AD Travis Goff: "This is a landmark day for Kansas Athletics. We are excited to forge this elite partnership and provide our student-athletes with best-in-class services as they build their personal brands. Walz Tetrick is not only an industry leader with a history of success, but also a company led by passionate Jayhawks, who are committed to making a lasting impact on our programs and Jayhawk student-athletes." The partnership was facilitated by Learfield. (link)

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill is launching a youth anti-vaping campaign that will engage athletes at LSU and other colleges in NIL deals. The campaign will be funded via a $10M settlement with e-cigarette maker Juul Labs and, according to public records, the state so far has agreed to spend $281K on NIL deals with athletes, with $225K going to LSU student-athletes over three years. The rest will be paid to athletes at ULM, Grambling State, McNeese State and others. The Louisiana Illuminator’s Piper Hutchinson reports the money for “LSU athletes will be paid to Playfly Sports Properties. … In addition to the $225K paid directly to athletes, the state will pay another $125K to Playfly for other advertisements at LSU athletics events related to the campaign.” Kennyhertz Perry attorney Mit Winter asks: “Is this a giant loophole to the House settlement? A state could directly enter into lucrative NIL deals with athletes at state universities. They wouldn’t be subject to fair market value analysis (b/c a state presumably isn’t an ‘associated entity or individual’) or capped.” Louisiana Progress Executive Director Peter Robins-Brown, meanwhile, comments: “I just question this approach because while you’re addressing an important issue, opening up a whole other can of worms by paying college athletes with public dollars feels very problematic.” (link, link)

Clemson Football HC Dabo Swinney still prefers the “old way,” but he’s learning to adapt, according to Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger. Still, he says the College Football Playoff expansion “is what I thought it would be. What I liked about the old way is that I thought college football was unique. And now it’s just like everything else. It’s just like the pros.” While Swinney is famously hesitant to utilize the transfer portal, the Tigers did sign an FCS wide receiver, and Swinney notes: “We’re not in the market for a lot of these guys, but if you have a gap, I don’t care who you are, you can go fill it. That’s an equalizer.” Swinney also admits the transfer portal has introduced more parity into the game. “It has created more opportunity and it’s going to keep (expanding), but it’s just changed the focus to the playoff. It’s all about the playoff. That’s probably not a bad thing. … There’s not going to be very many undefeated teams. Just a few years ago, the Chiefs made the wild card and made the Super Bowl. When they stood up and held the trophy up, they didn’t go, ‘But y'all had a really bad regular season!’ That’s where we are headed. It’s just going to be more like the NFL when it comes to the mentality and psyche.” The Tigers, Dellenger notes, have an opportunity to make a similar run in this year’s CFP. (link)

Texas State Football HC GJ Kinne says the “price of winning is going up, and If we want to continue to win, if we want to sniff six wins next year, if we want to sniff a conference championship, we need a lot more support than we're getting right now. It is what it is. You’ve seen what we've lost in the portal. If we want to get anybody good in the portal, we're going to need a lot more money and that's just plain and simple. Now, we can go out there, and we'll evaluate with the best of them, and we'll get some hidden gems like we always have, but that's the name of the game right now. People don’t care about scheme, they don’t care about the university, they don’t care about relationships. It’s all about the money right now.” (link)

+ USA Today’s Jim Henry and Steve Berkowitz look under the hood of Florida State Football HC Mike Norvell’s restructured contract and note it “includes a new performance incentive that will give Norvell the chance to earn all or most of his $4.5M back by the time the contract is scheduled to expire on Dec. 31, 2031. Additionally, if the team does not perform well and Norvell ends up getting fired without cause from January 2025 through December 2030, Norvell can regain portions of the reduction through a change in the school’s buyout obligation. That change would add a pro-rated portion of the $4.5M to the 85% of his remaining compensation that remains part of the agreement.” Norvell was scheduled to earn $10.15M for the 2025 season, and will now earn $5.65M. He remains set to make $10.3M in 2026 with increasing amounts in subsequent years. The performance incentive included in the amendment begins in 2026, when Norvell can receive a $750K bonus for reaching nine or more wins (including bowl). That’s in addition to the $1.55M in on-field and team academic bonuses that Norvell already can receive each year. (link)

Saturday’s Army-Navy Game averaged 9.4M viewers on CBS, marking the largest audience for the rivalry since at least 1990, per Sports Media Watch’s Jon Lewis. The previous high was 8.45M in 1992. Lewis also notes the game finished just outside of the top ten college football audiences this season, placing 11th. It was easily the most-watched game this season that did not involve the Big Ten or SEC, well ahead of 6.9M for the Arizona State-Iowa State Big 12 Championship. (link)

In case you missed this morning's D1.ticker edition…

More from Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua’s remarks ahead of Friday’s College Football Playoff matchup with Indiana, during which he said: “Ultimately, I view one of the key elements of the House settlement is the transfer of that economic responsibility of compensating student-athletes, moving from an unregulated collective world into the university system, which I think is a good thing. Then still having collectives remain like Rally that will be regulated by fair market value. So, both will continue to coexist, but the true economic responsibility is now on the universities. That will cause and create economic pressure. Some universities, I think, will look to private equity as an outlet for that. We won’t. We’re comfortable doing it ourselves. We’re fortunate that Notre Dame, I don’t think, has ever been stronger academically. I don’t think we’ve ever been more well-positioned financially.” While noting the industry still needs help from Congress, Bevacqua added: “I think there’s the potential for a moment of stability. Stability is loosely defined. … I think there seems to be some calm in the waters of conference realignment. I think a lot of people are stepping back and saying, ‘Okay, now it’s moved from four teams to 12 teams. Let’s see how it goes over the next couple of years.’” Regarding the partnership with the ACC, Bevacqua remarked: “We would like to see Florida State and Clemson stay in the ACC. Only they and the ACC can make that decision. But that’s certainly how I feel. That’s certainly how we feel. We think the ACC is firing on all cylinders right now when you think about the addition of Stanford, Cal, and SMU. And the fact that SMU, in their first year, what a great showing they’ve had, certainly in football and the ACC. And to bring universities like Stanford and Cal and their academic pedigrees, we think the conference is in great shape. But it’s better and stronger with Clemson and Florida State, and we hope it stays that way.” Lots more. (link)

Colorado AD Rick George joins The Mason Crosby Show and explains that while he acknowledges the challenge the College Football Playoff Selection Committee faces, “I don’t think the Big 12 got a lot of respect. We got, I think, 10 teams going to bowl games in our conference. I think that's one of the highest out there, and we've got one in the playoff. I thought we didn't get the respect early but, again, that's the committee's decision. I think they really need to fine-tune exactly how important is the strength of schedule? How important is the head-to-head?” George also says CU has delivered a $1B economic impact in the state, and it “took us five years to do that prior to 2021. You mentioned $10M of direct visitor spending in our community, $31M in a direct economic impact when you include the concerts and the different things that we do. 20% of our fans now come from outside the state…[and] all of that translates into the economic impact we’re having not only in our community, but on the state. We just need to get our businesses in this community to understand how important we are to their bottom line and get them to support some of the things that we’re doing.” (link)

James Madison AD Matt Roan covers several topics with JMUSports.com correspondent Mike Barber, including how to keep the momentum going in football, about which Roan says: “I think in this modern era of college athletics you can't say that anybody has been more successful than Nick Saban. What Coach Saban said is, 'Getting to the top of the mountain is one thing. And that's hard enough. But staying on top of the mountain is even harder.' And I think, in a lot of ways, when you look at FCS and the sudden success of the transition to FBS, our challenge is sustaining success and taking that next step forward. Again, we have a lot of things that are in place. For me, it's very important that our coaches and staff feel appreciated. That we have continuity. We have consistency. … Trying to benchmark ourselves, not only against our Sun Belt peers, but our aspirational peers, to say, 'Here's where we are. And here's where we need to be.'" With regard to the current NIL/transfer portal setup, Roan says the “solutions are in unions. The solutions are in collective bargaining. But at the same time, with those things, there's employee status. I don't think that's something that we want, and I don't think that would be necessarily good for college athletics. Hopefully, we can find some sort of middle ground there. … Agents and marketing managers, whatever you want to call them, that are taking 22% more than the 3% an NFL agent can take. You're right, shopping student athletes around. Not necessarily looking out for what's in the best interest of that young man or young woman but looking out for what's in the best interest of them. There are a lot of challenges that we face. I have a high level of optimism and confidence that we can figure out the solutions.” Full Q&A. (link)

Plaintiffs’ attorneys in the House case filed a motion seeking legal fees and reimbursements of around $484M. According to the motion, that figure represents 20% of the NIL settlement fund, 10% of the additional compensation fund, an injunction relief award of $20M paid by the defendants, and a little over $9M for “out-of-pocket litigation expenses.” Sportico’s Daniel Libit and Michael McCann note the motion also “cites the percentage-of-the-fund analysis and recent precedent of other class action lawsuits in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit…to have awarded class counsel above 25%. The plaintiffs’ attorneys also request they be awarded reimbursement of their litigation costs and expenses totaling approximately $9.1M. Meanwhile, the lawyers are asking that the class representatives in the case – Grant House, Tymir Oliver, Sedona Prince – receive $125K apiece. As to class representatives DeWayne Carter and Nya Harrison, each would receive a service award of $10K while class representative Nicholas Solomon would net a service award of $5K.” House says in a declaration filed with the motion that “I understood from the outset that participating in this lawsuit as a class representative would not necessarily provide a significant financial benefit to me,” though he noted that he incurred “substantial risks” to his collegiate and Olympic future by lending his name to litigation that directly challenged the NCAA while a swimmer at Arizona State. Libit and McCann go on to note that the settlement “also entitles the class counsel to earn an annual percentage share of that athlete revenue over the next decade, with a starting share of 0.75% in the first year, scaling up to 1.5% in the 10th. That means the plaintiffs lawyers could earn tens of millions of dollars in addition to the $484 million they are currently seeking.” (link)

USA Today’s Steve Berkowitz reports a different figure, noting the House attorneys are asking U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken “to award them nearly $525M in attorneys’ fees and costs. … In addition, as permitted by the proposed agreement, the plaintiffs' lawyers also asked for the right to apply annually to a judge or special master for additional amounts that, according to the filings, could total roughly another $250M. … The additional $250M for which the plaintiffs' attorneys are seeking to the right to apply comes from a provision in the settlement agreement that would allow them to seek 0.75% to 1.25% of the annual total amount spent by Division I schools on NIL agreements with athletes, and up to certain limits, new scholarships and academic achievement awards that were created when NCAA restrictions on education-related benefits for athletes were overturned by the Supreme Court in the Alston case in June 2021.” More from Berkowitz. (link)

Kelly Woolwine, CEO of the Virginia Tech-focused Triumph NIL, joins the Tech Sideline podcast and says he believes it’s fair for student-athletes to be compensated. “What I think’s unfair is that – I’m sorry, I have to say – I haven't seen any adults step into the room to help the kids. There needs to be more order and standardization and guardrails and things like that. If it remains that whoever has the most money wins – not wins on the field necessarily because I think we're seeing money can't buy that… it's the student athletes that are suffering the most, and I feel bad for that. These guys, they want structure, they want to understand it, and I don't how we get there.” Woolwine believes there should be one transfer portal rather than two, noting schools can pay a lot of money in the winter for kids who could leave in April. Therefore, one of two things will happen: schools will decide that’s just the cost of doing business or “you might see clawbacks and fighting over money. … That’s a big, nasty pothole to me. One portal window makes sense. If everybody’s an unrestricted free agent once a year, okay, that’s fine.” Woolwine would also like to see some sort of salary cap put in place because right now the schools with the most money have created a “gravitational pull that all the student-athletes are hovering and buzzing around…and there’s really not a lot of activity for all the other schools right now until when the music stops [and] whoever gets those chairs and gets those offers and then everybody else [says] okay, where are we now?” A lot of student-athletes, Woolwine continues, feel like they’ve been mistreated by the organizations they’re with. “Some of our own guys feel that way…because they’re hearing some of these numbers, and they think their school or organization was holding out on them. … I don’t know what you do about that.” Lots more.

USA Today’s Blake Toppmeyer contextualizes the recent contributions and/or reworked contracts of LSU Football HC Brian Kelly, Oklahoma State HC Mike Gundy and Florida State HC Mike Norvell and notes: “Used to be, a coach bankrolling his roster amounted to a major NCAA rules violation. Now, a coach can declare his payments on the up and up as part of a fundraising campaign. The optics are a bit odd, although not entirely unexpected. It’s more evidence of scales of power and wealth shifting within a landscape in which athletes are compensated.” Toppmeyer goes on to submit that what he calls a “loser’s tax” is a “fresh idea” with the House settlement looming. “Either [Norvell or Gundy] could have dug in his heels. Instead, they took a personal financial hit that favors their employer. Gundy and Norvell proved themselves winners before each experienced a career-worst season this year. Their acceptance of a pay hit allows each school to recoup funds that might improve the program, without triggering a leadership change that could further set back the program.” Toppmeyer goes on to note that “in the long-term, perhaps more coaches’ salaries will be reduced and paired with additional performance bonuses for successful seasons, or buyouts could be curtailed to contain costs for firing a losing coach. However, applying more financial caution toward coaching contracts could hurt a school’s hiring or retention efforts. … Just last year, Kentucky’s Mark Stoops grumbled that Wildcats fans needed to ‘pony up’ more cash for athletes if they desired a better team. Stoops’ idea to throw more money at the problem holds merit, but he overlooked himself as a potential source of funding.” (link)

Indiana President Pamela Whitten in an SBJ op-ed shares the results of an IU study gauging what “avid fans” think about the current state of college athletics and notes that “what we learned should guide policymakers not only on campuses and in conferences, but in the halls of government as well.” Whitten points out that 87% of respondents want continued baseline academic eligibility requirements; 80% support guidelines around NIL to protect student-athletes from an insincere approach that mirrors pay-for-play rather than true sponsorship NIL opportunities; and 82% favor limits on the number of times a student-athlete can transfer schools. “While roughly half of respondents agreed that student-athletes should share in the revenue generated by athletics, only 44% thought they should be treated as employees. This question will take on added urgency if, as is contemplated by the proposed settlement of antitrust litigation against the NCAA, direct payments from universities to student athletes becomes permissible. … Those of us who lead universities, especially flagship universities in leading conferences, must step up and play a leadership role in shaping the new world of intercollegiate athletics that will serve all institutions, large and small. It cannot be left to television networks, video streamers, agents, and other commercial interests. We must act individually and together to ensure that the future of college sports supports our institutions’ mission to enhance the lives of the young people entrusted to us.” (link)

Powerade has inked NIL deals with Connecticut men’s basketball student-athlete Alex Karaban, Arizona men’s basketball student-athlete Caleb Love and NC State women’s basketball student-athlete Saniya Rivers. The trio announced the partnerships on their respective social media pages and will continue to be part of marketing efforts throughout the season. Additionally, per On3’s Nick Schultz, they will be part of Powerade’s “It Takes More To Get This Far” campaign, which will launch in February 2025 and carry through March Madness. (link)

Companies that sell tickets for live sports and concerts must follow a new universal pricing standard that requires them to disclose all cleaning fees, concert service fees or other mandatory fees in initial search results when booking. The new Federal Trade Commission rule takes effect in April and states the total price must be the most prominent price in an ad. Companies can still provide itemizations and breakdowns but cannot hide the real total. (link)
