NCAA President Charlie Baker joins the Pat McAfee Show and says he believes there “will be a market that goes alongside the rev-share, and that’s going to be important” once the House settlement is implemented. The question currently being discussed, he adds, is “how do you figure out what information is available to who when? But the most important thing here is there’s a general acceptance and understanding across DI…that there’s going to be a mechanism you have to submit your contract into and get it approved.” As for how long those contracts’ terms will be, Baker says it’ll be up to the schools and the student-athletes, but “then when it gets approved, there’s no more debate about what it is or what it says or what it does. And I think part of what the biggest problem we have now is so much of this is happening through multiple parties. When people talk about third parties, you have a lot of situations that I've been made aware of where there are multiple people who are involved. There are family members, there are friends, there are agents – sometimes real agents, sometimes people who–“watched Entourage” McAfee says. Baker says of U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken: “This judge has been involved in these cases for a decade. This is her issue. To some extent, having her as the final arbiter here is, from the point of view of a lot of people, a really good thing.” Asked whether it’s possible Wilken decides in April that she doesn’t agree with some of the finer points of the settlement, Baker says it’s "theoretically possible, but I kind of hope she wouldn’t have given us the approval if she wasn’t planning to [see it through].” On the Diego Pavia decision: “My big worry about it is there’s a rhythm to college sports and the rules associated with this four years of eligibility…has been with us forever and it’s been how we make it possible to sort of line up academic performance with athletic performance and opportunity and to make sure the next generation of kids have a place to go. If you writ large this decision across the JUCOs – and then maybe somebody says well if JUCOs get two years of eligibility plus four, why shouldn’t anybody who goes to college get six? – [where do high school athletes figure in]? Lots more. (link)

Northern Illinois has released a statement acknowledging it “has received a formal invitation for the football program to join the Mountain West Conference in 2026. We’re proud of the interest in NIU’s strong brand and proven commitment to the success of our student-athletes as we chart the best path forward for NIU. At this time, we are actively engaged in evaluating our options to best position NIU and our student-athletes across all sports for future success. We anticipate providing an update to our community in early January.” A representative from the school added that Huskies AD Sean Frazier would not be available to make further comments. (link)

Omaha AD Adrian Dowell has agreed to a contract extension through November 2028. UNO Chancellor Joanne Li: “Adrian Dowell’s leadership and commitment to the lifelong success of our student-athletes and enhancing fan experiences have been instrumental in strengthening Omaha Athletics. This extension reflects our confidence in his vision and his dedication to ensuring UNO remains a cornerstone of pride and excellence for the Omaha community.” (link)

Legal Matters…

+ Heitner Legal Founder Darren Heitner posits that Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia’s preliminary injunction carries significance far beyond one former JUCO player’s eligibility: “The judge effectively said that the case law relied upon by the NCAA from years past, when the NCAA would regularly win cases, is no longer relevant” in a post-NIL world. “This opens up the door to so many new challenges. For instance, the ‘no-agent’ and ‘no draft’ rules. 1. The ‘no-agent’ rule currently prevents athletes from signing professional representation agreements (i.e. NFLPA Standard Representation Agreements) with agents. Now that athletes can earn NIL money, they should be able to weigh whether to stay in school or go pro, and an agent can help determine a player's pro-market value. The NCAA should lose a case that challenges this rule. 2. The ‘no draft’ rule, which is discussed in the Pavia opinion, prevents a player from entering the NFL Draft and thereafter participating in college football if the player is undrafted. The NCAA has argued that this protects the educational values of college athletes, which may have been convincing in a ‘pre-NIL world.’ But the federal judge in Pavia's case noted that recent rule changes, such as allowing college athletes unlimited transfers aren't intended to ‘benefit an athlete's academic career.’ So, on what grounds should the NCAA be able to resist a challenge to allow an athlete who isn't drafted return to play college sports?” (link)

+ Heitner also notes that many are wondering whether this ruling applies to all JUCO athletes. “I read the Pavia preliminary injunction as only precluding the NCAA from enforcing its rules with Pavia. That could change with NCAA providing clarity and/or additional litigation. Tread with caution. Athletes not named Diego Pavia are considering the possibility of bringing similar actions. I may be filing one in a Florida federal court unless the NCAA quickly decides to put a pause on enforcing its Bylaw that counts JUCO seasons toward the five-year rule. Stay tuned.” (link)

+ Sportico’s Michael McCann is asked for his thoughts on “the likelihood of a non-JUCO athlete taking the next step and fighting the four-year eligibility limit, leading to theoretical unlimited eligibility” and responds: “I think we'll see this happen. The more college sports resembles pro sports, the harder it will be to restrain how long college athletes can play. So long as their school puts them in a full time degree program, there's now a good legal argument they should remain NCAA eligible.” (link)

+ Ohio lawmakers have approved changes that will allow universities to pay student-athletes for NIL through revenue-sharing. The bill also states that student-athletes would not be employees of the university, but they can hire agents or attorneys to represent them in NIL deals with the university. Student-athletes would be prohibited from using the university's facilities or logos for brand deals without the school's approval. The NIL deals would be confidential and not subject to public records laws. Athletes younger than the age 18 would be prohibited from entering into NIL contracts. The bill awaits Governor Mike DeWine’s signature, which is expected, considering it effectively codifies into law his own executive order. (link)

CNBC has partnered with AthleticDirectorU to rank the 75 most valuable college athletic programs and found Ohio State to be the most valuable at an estimated $1.32B. “The Buckeyes had $280M in revenue in 2023, the most of any school. Other factors that helped propel the Buckeyes to the top of the rankings are an alumni base of over 600K, a fan base of more than 11M, boosters that donated nearly $60M last year, and a football team that routinely has attendance of over 100K at its games.” OSU is followed by Texas ($1.28B), Texas A&M ($1.26B), Michigan ($1.06B), Alabama ($978M), Notre Dame ($969M), Georgia ($950M), Nebraska ($943M), Tennessee ($940M) and Oklahoma ($928M) in the top 10. CNBC’s Michael Ozanian explains the list is “reflective of the current enterprise value of each program, starting with a base revenue multiple of four for all institutions, and then adjusting the multiple for variables, including conference affiliation, estimated NIL spend, school subsidies, number of alumni and other factors that can catalyze future revenue growth and profitability. CNBC and [ADU publisher Jason] Belzer also incorporated the expertise of several people knowledgeable about athletic program valuations to determine the rankings, who requested anonymity in order to discuss details of the programs.” Broken down by conference, the analysis finds the SEC is worth $13.3B, an average of $832M per school; followed by the Big Ten at $13.2B, an average of $734M per school; the ACC at $9.6B, or $562M per school; and the Big 12, at $6.7B, or $420M per school.

Pittsburgh emeritus trustee John Pelusi is suing the board and Chairman John Verbanac, alleging the board withheld financial and management-related information from him and retaliated against him when he pushed for the information. According to the complaint, Pelusi says he has raised concerns related to the termination of former AD Heather Lyke, Pitt’s NIL policies for student-athletes, “disadvantages” stemming from Pitt’s lack of a home football stadium, and several real estate transactions involving Pitt, among other topics. When he pressed further, Pelusi claims Verbanac revoked his right to attend all board meetings, revoked his access to documents in an online board portal, and said he would “pursue other avenues available” if Pelusi continued to seek answers to his questions. A Pitt spokesperson says the university will “aggressively defend against this action, adding: “We vehemently disagree with the baseless allegations contained within the complaint filed by non-voting emeritus trustee John Pelusi, and we will aggressively defend against this action.” (link)

With the House settlement looming, Appalachian State AD Doug Gillin says the athletic department is “committed to funding scholarships at least at our current levels with the hope of growing our scholarship funding. Yosef Club membership and contributions have reached record levels for several consecutive years, and we will need to continue to raise those levels to support scholarship funding. We view revenue sharing and NIL opportunities as scholarship enhancements. We continue to work with the University and legal counsel on the best ways to offer scholarship enhancements to our student-athletes within our budget. … App State Athletics currently has an operating budget of $48M. Throughout the last 10 years, we have pursued innovative revenue streams from opportunities such as licensed products and apparel, corporate partnerships, philanthropic giving and special events like summer concerts in Kidd Brewer Stadium. We will continue to aggressively pursue new revenue streams. You will see additional corporate partnerships and naming rights in our facilities, including on-field logos. We will evaluate new ticket and parking models and pursue other creative opportunities to maximize our ability to support our student-athletes.” Gillin also explains that “we have no plans to eliminate positions. We will continue to prioritize prudent spending in our operations as we have each of the past 10 years that we have balanced our athletics budget. We are not planning to eliminate any existing student-athlete scholarships and hope to fund additional scholarships with additional revenue.” (link)

Coaches Corner…

+ ULM Football HC Bryant Vincent will remain with the Warhawks, per Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger, who notes: “Vincent had been pursued for other open jobs, including Jacksonville State. UL-Monroe agreed to increase support for the coach and program.” (link)

+ Lamar inks Football HC Pete Rossomando to a four-year extension. (link) 

+ USF has extended the contracts of Men’s Golf HC Steve Bradley and Director of Cross Country/Track & Field Erik Jenkins through their respective 2028-29 seasons. (link)

JohnCanzano.com’s eponymous publisher reports there were “looming issues in play behind the scenes at Washington State” as it relates Football HC Jake Dickert’s decision to leave. “Ones that Dickert has been reluctant to publicly talk about. But they help frame his decision to leave WSU for what appears to be a marginal job, at best, in the ACC.” Those issues include: “Dickert took a voluntary 10% pay cut after the 2023 football season. So did his assistants. The salary reduction didn’t sit well with the coaching staff over the summer and into this season, where the team started 8-1. Particularly because the cost savings weren’t earmarked to help fund the football program, as in the case of Mike Norvell’s $4.5M cut at Florida State.” One source tells Canzano: “That money savings just went to the bottom line for WSU.” Canzano is also told the WSU Board of Regents is controlling the university’s overall budget, and “for a long while, Dickert told his athletic director and other campus leaders that Wisconsin was the only job he’d ever leave Pullman for. Something changed. I reached out to Dickert. He hasn’t responded. But it looks to me like Washington State’s regents are OK with having a low-resource football program, and Dickert sniffed that out. … The regents at WSU need to do some soul-searching. The Cougars were a low-revenue program in the old Pac-12, do they want to be one in the new-world Pac-12? Time to decide.” (link)

Kansas State Men’s Basketball HC Jerome Tang believes his team is being unfairly criticized because they’re earning NIL money, and the Wichita Eagle’s Kellis Robinett reports “money has been such a distraction for this team that Tang played the ESPN documentary ‘Broke’ on the drive to Kansas City this week. The first few times he watched the film, he mostly noticed how many professional athletes wasted their pro salaries. This time, though, he paid closer attention to how the athletes in the movie struggled to perform while dealing with the pressure of getting paid.” Tang: “What stuck out was the pressure that they face when they have money because they feel like they’ve got to try and deliver something now because they’re being paid. These young guys, they’re feeling that pressure. For so-called fans to add on top of that, that’s a crime and that’s just terrible. Those aren’t real K-State fans. They’re definitely not our people and with us and what we are about. … I watch NBA games, and they never say that about NBA players who make way more money than that.” (link)

St. John’s Men’s Basketball HC Rick Pitino writes on X that “I certainly have great respect for the coaches and teams we play but after witnessing multiple problems with the postgame handshake line, we will take a page out of the NBA playbook and refrain.” (link)

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

Pavia’s Position…

+ Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia’s request for a preliminary injunction allowing him another year of eligibility has been granted. From Chief U.S. District Court Judge William L. Campbell, Jr.’s 25-page memorandum opinion: “The eligibility bylaws induce potential football players to attend NCAA institutions rather than non-NCAA institutions even when non-NCAA institutions, such as junior colleges, might be in their best interest. Therefore, the rule harms student-athletes when they are making decisions on whether to attend a junior college or an NCAA institution. The effects on the labor market also cause downstream effects for consumers of collegiate athletics because the restriction on the eligibility of former junior college student-athletes…harms the competitiveness of the teams by limiting the number of years these players can compete at the Division I level. Full memo. (link)

+ Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger notes that for now, the “NCAA does not plan to offer further clarity or a change to eligibility rules that may affect other athletes. The court order applies to Pavia. The NCAA eventually changed its transfer rules to adhere to a West Virginia court ruling last year. It's worth monitoring.” The NCAA in a statement contends that “altering the enforcement of rules overwhelmingly supported by NCAA member schools makes a shifting environment even more unsettled. The NCAA is making changes to deliver more benefits to student-athletes, but a patchwork of state laws and court opinions make clear that partnering with Congress is essential to provide stability for the future of all college athletes.” (link)

+ To that end, Tulane Sports Law Director Gabe Feldman tells Dellenger: “On the bright side for the NCAA, this may strengthen their case for congressional intervention.” Meanwhile, one administrator says: “It’s not going to end until we collectively bargain.” (link) 

+ According to Sportico’s Michael McCann, Campbell’s language “captured an increasingly prevalent viewpoint in a ‘post-Alston world’ that the NCAA and its member institutions are like other businesses. When they conspire to restrain competition, their rules are judged like those adopted by other businesses, with courts applying ordinary (no longer deferential) antitrust scrutiny.” For instance, the NCAA cited cases from the 2000s where courts upheld NCAA eligibility requirements on grounds the requirements are “non-commercial in nature,” but Campbell wasn’t persuaded, noting “those decisions were grounded in a pre-NIL world.” He added rules in those cases were “designed to keep commercial interests out of college sports” whereas in an NIL world, college athletes are unambiguously engaged in commercial transactions with the NCAA’s blessing. … Campbell was also troubled by what he saw as unequal treatment of former JUCO players compared to other student groups whose athletic competition doesn’t count against their NCAA clock. He mentioned the NCAA ‘does not start the eligibility clock for prep school student-athletes even though those students can earn credit toward a degree.” McCann also points out the injunction blocks the NCAA applying its restitution rule, which allows the NCAA to punish a school that uses a player who, after winning an injunction in court, ultimately loses in court. More. (link)

Vermont AD Jeff Schulman sits down with WCAX’s Jack Fitzsimmons to discuss the state of the athletic department and says when it comes to the House settlement the Catamounts are “really trying to think through how do we retain our values? How do we keep the scholar-athlete model, academic success, student-athlete development front and center, but also make sure that we're keeping pace? Regardless of how we feel about some of the changes in college athletics, they're here and we care deeply about making sure that we continue to have programs that can compete at a very high level, a national level in some cases. And that’s going to take a real commitment, a bigger commitment than we’ve been making in the past.” Schulman says UVM continues to make progress on the facilities front. “Obviously, completion of the Tarrant Center is the most visible element of the project and we haven’t delivered on that as of yet, but I can tell you it’s something I think about daily, if not hourly. I’m in constant communication with the leadership of the university, with the board of trustees, with our donors, and everybody is committed to seeing the project through as soon as we possibly can.” (link)

With the College Football Playoff and NFL competing head-to-head on Saturday, USA Today’s Dan Wolken believes the viewership numbers could shape future schedules and writes: “As amazing and unique as it will be for fans to finally see playoff football in iconic places like Happy Valley and Austin and the Horseshoe, the NFL would be a two-touchdown favorite to win the ratings battle on Saturday.” Former AAC Commissioner Mike Aresco: “Obviously it's a big issue, and it was really discussed at length. No one liked it, believe me.” Ultimately, Wolken contends: “This is a problem that may not have a solution. It may not even be a problem at all. Regardless of which product you prefer, college football should never have to apologize for not being as popular or matching the NFL’s TV ratings, and unless you’re an executive at ABC/ESPN, it’s unclear why you should care.” (link)

Lehigh conducted virtual interviews with candidates for its AD position last week, according to CollegeAD, which reports: “From there, a pool of finalists emerged with in-person interviews currently underway.” Korn Ferry is assisting with the search. (link)

Washington State AD Anne McCoy says Football HC Jake Dickert’s departure for Wake Forest is indicative of the times, adding: "I feel it, to be honest. I've been a Coug for almost 24 years. [Back then], you weren’t wondering if your team was coming back or the timing of the transitions." While the search for a new HC started immediately, McCoy says the focus now is on the upcoming Holiday Bowl against Syracuse, about which she says: “We are not pulling out, we are very committed to playing. … Talking with some current student-athletes again, [they’re] saying, ‘We’ve got this, we’re excited, we wanna do this.’ We have coaches that are still here, that are committed and and people that really are wanting to finish off the season, and that means finishing off the season with a bowl game in San Diego. We’re in. We’re 100% in.” On trying to keep Dickert, McCoy says: “We (were) talking about a long-term partnership relative to contract length. I think both he and his representation felt good about it, but I think the ultimate piece was that wasn’t gonna be a factor whether he chose to stay or go because he knew what the offer was. To be honest, maybe [he was] getting through the season too, to know how he felt about whether he would be staying or not.” (link, link)

When hiring new coaches, DePaul AD DeWayne Peevy says success is achievable in several different ways, but he prioritizes candidates who have a strong work ethic, who can be good teammates and who have passion. Peevy prefers getting to know coaches on a deeper level, noting that “we’re gonna have to make decisions, yes, but we’re in this together, and I’ve been really stressing to them, ‘Talk to me about your strategic plans.’ I want to be a part of it, I want to sign up for it so when we fail, we fail, you don't fail. If you’ve got your own thing going, then all I can gauge you on is your results. Let’s be in this together because in this ever-changing world, we've got to move in step.” When it comes to building a winning culture, Peevy notes that in his first year as Deputy AD at Kentucky, the Wildcats missed the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament for the first time in 17 years. “So it wasn’t like I walked in and it was just ready-made. We made a coaching change my second year…and we didn’t assume we knew everything.” Three years later, Kentucky won the national championship, and Peevy is taking the same approach with Men’s Basketball HC Chris Holtmann. “Let’s put our heads together and figure out how we grow this brick by brick.” Peevy also learned at Kentucky, where “everything matters,” that everything can matter for the Blue Demons as well. “I don’t have the football piece from the revenue side, but I also don’t have it from the expense side, so I can pour the time and effort into every sport.” Lots more. (link)

U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) CEO Sam Seemes during this year’s annual convention asserted that “we must save ourselves,” adding: “Let me be blunt. Our sports are under siege. Not in some distant future, but right now. The threats are real and immediate: Shrinking opportunities for student-athletes. Vanishing budgets. Disappearing scholarships. Reduced coaching positions. Complete program elimination. Replacement by sports perceived as more valuable. … Nothing is guaranteed anymore. Our sport's place in collegiate athletics is not a birthright. Yes, we have the highest participation numbers. Yes, we're among the most diverse sports on campus. Yes, we produce exceptional graduation rates. But here's the harsh reality – participation numbers and diversity statistics may make for good public relations, but behind closed doors, they're not driving decisions." In closing, Seemes remarked: “The choice is yours. Will you be part of the solution, or will you watch from the sidelines as our sport fades into irrelevance?" Oregon State Director of Track & Field Louie Quintana subsequently said: "I'm 100% behind him. Adapt or die. That's where we are. I don't want to sound dire about it, but this is my profession and changes have to be made. … Sometimes at these things you are a little bit of a pariah if you try to change the way things are done. But we have to." (link)

The Idaho State Board of Education has approved a financing package for Boise State’s North End Zone project at Albertsons Stadium. Broncos AD Jeramiah Dickey: “This landmark project will serve as a catalyst to further elevate Boise State, the Boise community and the state of Idaho. We are incredibly grateful for all of those who have already made a commitment to the project that will impact all 350+ Bronco student-athletes. Those commitments have been in the form of purchasing seats in our new loge area, club level and field-level suites within the North End Zone or investing in the project with private dollars or corporate partnerships. We have seen a tremendous amount of interest by Bronco Nation in supporting the North End Zone Project, which speaks to the desire by all to continue to build EPIC at Boise State.” The board also officially approved Dickey’s new five-year contract.

The targeting penalty continues to be a divisive topic among coaches and fans, but the NCAA insists the rule which requires players to sit out a game is doing what it was designed to do. Arizona State DB Shamari Simmons, for example, will miss the first half of the Sun Devils’ quarterfinal CFP game after being ejected from the Big 12 championship game against Iowa State, and ASU HC Kenny Dillingham says: “It’s very bang-bang from a targeting call. (Simmons is) such a great kid, and this is about the kids. It’d be unfortunate if a guy who has put in all the work he has — his senior year, who tried to do the right thing, kept his eyes up — loses half of a game that is something he’ll remember for the rest of his life, that he’s worked his entire life for.” The Athletic’s Justin Williams notes that “aside from slowing up or going lower to make the tackle, there’s not much Simmons could have done to avoid that forcible contact to the head and neck area of [Cyclones QB Rocco] Becht.” NCAA National Coordinator of Football Officials/Secretary-Rules Editor Steve Shaw, however, says: “I realize this might not be the most popular position to take, and I’m trying not to be overdramatic, but the targeting rule is saving our game. It is truly changing player behavior.” Williams points out the number of targeting penalties per game has dropped from 0.27 in 2020 to 0.16 in 2024, and Shaw adds: “The average fan would probably say there’s a targeting call in every game, right? And it’s just not the case. The numbers are going the right way.” (link)
