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)

NCAA Legal Matters:

+ Vanderbilt (DI) 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)

+ 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)

+ Headlining attorney Tom Mars chimes in on the Diego Pavia court decision: “Although the federal court injunction in favor of Diego Pavia is limited to his specific case, it only took 24 hours for me to hear from a former JUCO football player (now a senior) whose head coach gave him my number. I’m sure other sports lawyers are getting similar calls. [...] The ‘roadmap’ for other former JUCO players: Player’s lawyer (paid by school as allowed in eligibility cases per NCAA rule) use Pavia pleadings as template with adjustments showing irreparable harm, citing Pavia ruling. After 3-4 consecutive losses, the NCAA surrenders.” (link)

Otterbein hires Valparaiso (DI) Defensive Coordinator Dave Marquis as its next Football HC. AD Dr. Greg Lott: "Coach Marquis is highly intelligent, organized and communicative and is poised to set a new standard for Otterbein football. He has developed a three-year plan for the program focused on holistic student-athlete development, trust and accountability, relentless pursuit of excellence and connecting to the community. Dave is highly respected in the field.

Worcester State taps Harvard (DI) Running Backs Coach Lazaro Mitjans, Jr., as the Lancers’ new Football HC. AD Michael Mudd: “We had a very robust selection of candidates that applied to become the next Lancers Head Football Coach. Lazaro rose to the top of that list. He has had incredible mentoring from some of the top college head football coaches in New England and has a great football acumen. I have no doubt Lazaro will do a terrific job recruiting student-athletes to Worcester State, developing young men, and be a strong presence within our campus community.” (link)
