D1.ticker Morning Edition - Tuesday, February 11, 2025

Michigan AD Warde Manuel continues to say there are no plans to integrate permanent advertising into Michigan Stadium despite industry pressures for additional revenues: “We have no plans to put advertising in Michigan Stadium right now. None. [...] How much it would bring into Michigan, I don't know. But if you look around at other institutions, Ohio State, you look at Texas, you look at other places that have advertising like that in significant numbers. In the place where we're adding revenue share of $20 million, we've decided not to reduce any sports, we're not cutting back on any scholarships for any sports. We're actually adding some scholarships to some sports. We have to find a way, so we're looking at ways to cut expenses and increase revenue.” How will the Wolverines allocate revenue share per sport? “We're working through finalization of what we're going to do, but it's probably going to be close to the distribution model that's in the settlement.” As for if the NCAA has treated Michigan fairly in the recent football investigation: “I've gotten to know (NCAA president) Charlie Baker. I think he's a good person. I know many of the enforcement staff, and I think they're good people. I wouldn't say it's that way, but I would say I understand why people could perceive it a certain way, but I don't. I wouldn't say they're out for Michigan, but it's just one of these things where you hope there's balance, put it that way.” (link)

New South Carolina AD Jeremiah Donati in a letter to Gamecocks fans: “...the realities of the House case have vast financial implications for not only our athletics department and university but for college athletics as a whole. These additional costs were not budgeted and come at a time with already existing financial pressures across our sports. In short, being resourceful with our dollars will be as important as ever to continue to be successful and nationally competitive.  Identifying new and additional revenue streams will also be key to continued success and finding our path to fly higher than ever before. I assure you we are putting in the work to plan for the future and ensure we are doing so in a sustainable way.” (link)

Oregon State will add a $3 “Student-Athlete Enrichment Fee” to every football, hoops & baseball ticket & parking passes during the 2025 seasons to supplement dollars needed for the coming revenue share environment. Here’s the math from The Oregonian’s Nick Daschel: “If Oregon State sells an average of 28,000 tickets per game next season, plus parking passes – students are allotted approximately 6,000 tickets in 35,548-seat Reser Stadium – it could generate approximately $600,000 in additional revenue. [...] With basketball and baseball games attracting a combined 250,000-300,000 fans, and other sports, that could raise more than $1 million, counting football.” Beavers AD Scott Barnes stops short of saying exactly how much his department will be sharing, though it won’t be at the full $20.5M, “There will be more schools that don’t reach that than do. We will be competitive and relevant against those schools that we’ve always recruited against. That’s our goal.” (link)

Collegiate Sports Associates Founder & Chairman Todd Turner sat down with AthleticDirectorU’s Tai M. Brown at last month’s NCAA Convention in Nashville to discuss leading through all the current industry challenges. Turner: “I think the thing that I would like leaders in college in this space to think about is what is the mission of our institution? What do we value the most? What can we afford to do and be the best of what we are and be content with that. Because if you chase something that you really can't achieve because of resources more than anything else, you're going to have a hard time surviving. It could irreparably harm an institution and athletics should be an asset and not something that draws you down. So I would hope that people really look at themselves in the mirror that are making these decisions and say, ‘Who are we? And are we really an institution that wants to pay our student athletes or has the ability to pay our student athletes $20.5 million or are we different?’ And if we are different, let's figure out how to make it so that we can be good at it. [...] I think our approach is, look, we bring decades of real actual experience in college athletics to the table. And oftentimes we see things that you're either afraid to look at yourself or you don't know. It could be data that we can help mine for an institution that they could probably do it on their own, but would take a lot of time. They're not expert at it. I think those are the things that consulting companies can offer is insight, experience, data. And the other thing is we don't make the decisions. Our approach would be, here are some issues that we see for you, and here are some possible strategies you could take to deal with those. But it's your decision.” Lots more. (link)

Key Lime Air, the private jet chartering company whose plane made a runway incursion while holding members of the Gonzaga men’s basketball team on Dec. 27, has concluded its internal investigation into the incident. Following its internal review, Key Lime has “identified areas for procedural enhancements to strengthen pilot training, communication and situational awareness in complex airport environments.” The report also states: “The event highlighted the need for enhanced briefing protocols when runway assignments change and additional focus on navigation procedures during high-workload phases of flight.” A Federal Aviation Administration probe remains ongoing.

Auburn Defensive Coordinator DJ Durkin signed a new contract Feb. 5 that adds a year to his initial deal, which had him on the Plains from 2024 to 2026. It also boosts his base salary from $1.2M during the 2024 season to $2.5M for 2025. Should Durkin's contract be terminated without cause, he'll be owed the remainder of his yet-to-be-paid salary, which will be issued in equal monthly installments for the remainder of the term. If Durkin terminates his own contract before Dec. 20, 2025, he'd owe Auburn $1M. That amount drops to $250K if he departs between Dec. 20, 2025 and Dec. 20, 2026 and $125K thereafter. (link)

Fox San Antonio’s Yami Virgin reports on potential immigration fraud related to matriculation of Australian football student-athletes to U.S. campuses. A number of individuals in the football community point the finger at recruiting firm Prokick, including allegations of doctored transcripts and misrepresentation of remaining years of eligibility. FoxSA partnered on its investigation with private investigative firm IFW International, whose chairman, Ken Gamble, suggests that U.S. universities “should be getting the student to sign a disclosure document, allowing them to seek the information. They should sign a letter of authority, allowing the university here to obtain over there any historical educational records from universities in Australia.” (link)

The Tennessean’s Aria Gerson investigates how the Diego Pavia court decision could impact college baseball: “Most people agree that if Pavia’s ruling becomes permanent, the juco route will become more attractive to high school players, though it’s not yet known to what extent. While extra DI eligibility would make juco more attractive, the DI route, especially in the SEC and ACC, has also come with additional perks. NIL gives players the chance to make money before getting drafted, and some schools give baseball players NIL deals even if they don’t see meaningful playing time. Along with the roster limits comes the potential that some teams could offer all rostered players full scholarships. [...] Another potential impact is top schools using junior colleges as ‘feeder schools’ of sorts. In this instance, teams could take incoming freshmen not likely to make the roster and tell them to go play at a junior college, with the potential of coming back and earning a roster spot at that same school after 1-2 years of experience and still four years of eligibility.” Walters State (NJCAA) Baseball HC David Shelton: “I feel bad for parents. I’m a college baseball coach and I’m sitting here not even 100% sure what’s the best way to advise my own son… I spent a lot of time talking to four-year schools and talking to their coaches and they’re just as up in the air about things as I am, like what’s going to happen? Where is it going to lead? What are the rules going to be six months from now?” (link)

ESPN VP/Women’s Sports Programming and espnW Susie Piotrkowski chats with SBJ’s Mollie Cahillane on key developments for her segment of the Worldwide Leader: “As we wind down on football season, we’re in women’s sports season, baby.” Piotrkowski also notes the importance of the integration of ESPN+ with the new Disney+: “The tile is a huge opportunity to reach fans in a new place. We’re seeing female audience engagement more robust than it has ever been. In a not-too-distant past, it was really tough. There was a high barrier to entry to be a women’s sports fan, and you’re seeing that barrier to entry get lower and lower and lower, and that’s a great opportunity for us.” (link, link)

James Madison AD Matt Roan chats with Higher Ed Athletics’ Travis Smith, digs in further on ticket pricing & donation changes coming for the Dukes: “...the last thing that we ever want to do is either be or be perceived as greedy. JMU Athletics is special because of people, and that's our student athletes, that's our coaches, that's our staff, that's our administration, the incredible alignment that exists here. But that's the people who vote with their feet, who come out and support us, whether it's in Bridgeforth Stadium or the Atlantic Union Bank Center. So we want to make sure that they continue to do that and that they're able to continue to do that. While there are adjustments that have to be made for us to ensure or at least try to ensure that we have the same type of success, that success that we've been able to enjoy over the last several years or decade plus, we want to make sure that we're never forgetting who's got us to this point and that we're bringing them along with us. [...] We want to make sure that we were or are protecting and equipping the 18 programs that we have. We want to make sure that we have a broad based athletics department where we expect to win in everything that we offer, and we want to make sure that it's not just the competitive success. Again, it's the experience that we provide and it's the academic component of that as well. This notion of being broad-based requires a certain level of investment. I think for us, as we have kind of gone about our house plan, both our roster numbers to meet the limits and Title IX, and then as we look at our rev share plan, everything that we tried to do was kind of with a focus on being additive. We didn't want to sacrifice any one thing that we do particularly well or do for that matter, to do something else. And that caused us to analyze what we were doing, but just to make sure again, stop, start or change or do those sorts of things.” More. (link)

The Athletic’s Scott Dochterman reports on Big Ten finances, indicating 13 league members in total generated $2.84B during FY24 with a bottom side expense total of nearly $3B. “Of those athletic departments, half finished the 2024 fiscal year with a deficit, and four of those eight were at least $15 million in the hole.” Notable nuggets: “Of the 13 public universities collecting Big Ten funding during fiscal 2024, 11 secured around $50.8 million as part of the league’s media contract plus $11 million or so for other disbursals, including bowl revenue. [...]  Twelve athletic departments have total debt exceeding $90 million, and six are north of $225 million, led by Illinois ($312.5 million) and Ohio State ($286.7 million). Michigan ($252.8 million), Penn State ($246.9 million), Washington ($244.4 million) and Iowa ($227.8 million) are next in line. [...] Football recruiting expenses have soared nearly 56 percent over a two-year period, with Big Ten schools combining to spend more than $30.1 million, up from $19.35 million in fiscal 2022. [...] Iowa continues to be the statistical outlier in this section, documenting $638,000 in football recruiting expenses. When asked for explanation, Iowa athletics chief financial officer Greg Davies said the school reports on-campus visits, coaches’ travel off-campus and gift-in-kind flights. Unlike other schools, Iowa shifts costs for recruiting software expenses into the “other” category, of which Iowa’s total ($3 million) is well beyond peer programs Wisconsin ($1.5 million) and Oregon ($900,000).” Lots more.

Michigan State’s Board of Trustees has authorized an additional $15M for renovations to the Spartan Stadium office tower per Crain’s Detroit Business’ Sherri Welch. Aimed at consolidating the MSU advancement department’s operations into a smaller footprint, the alterations to the tower’s second and third floors would free up 8,300 sq-ft. for “other institutional needs.” During its meeting, the Board also provided authorization for a project to rebuild MSU’s outdoor tennis courts while improving spectator areas and adding a support building with restrooms, locker rooms and team spaces. Funding for the tennis project will be provided through a dedicated gift from alumna Joan Secchia. (link)

Iron Dukes members Karen King and Gayla Compton have joined forces to bestow the largest combined gift to support an athletics administrative position in Duke history. The purpose of the King-Compton Families Athletics Directorship Endowment will be to fund the Director of Athletics position in perpetuity while positioning the university to “continue attracting, developing, and retaining the best leaders in college athletics.” (link) 

Sportico’s Brendan Coffey reports on the growing popularity boom surrounding college hockey as highlighted by a sold-out TD Garden for tonight’s Beanpot Tournament final between No. 1 Boston College and No. 8 Boston University. Excitement for the sport is so palpable at BC, in fact, that after scooping up their provided ticket allotment prior to the start of the event’s opening round, four-school doubleheader, left out students somehow managed to secure a link to buyout the student section of fellow Beanpot participant, Harvard. While that level of excitement may not be that surprising for fans of the five-time national champion Eagles, it showcases a growing trend on campuses nationwide. Per Coffey, “the nation’s 64 Division I men’s hockey teams are playing to 75% capacity crowds, up from 73% last season. [...] Even lower-level hockey is seeing an uptick. The nation’s 93 Division II and III men’s program schools have seen crowds rise to 32% capacity this season, up from 30.5% last year, according to USCHO.” Additionally, women’s attendance has risen three percentage points to 23% capacity across 44 DI programs, while playing at higher than 16% capacity among 78 lower division teams.

Mississippi State operated at close to a $7M deficit in FY24, although the school noted that was planned as part of the repayment of a $23M COVID-19 loan from the SEC and is covered by MSU reserves per the Clarion Ledger’s Sam Sklar. Overall, the Bulldogs brought in a record $127.2M in revenue, approximately $12M higher than FY23, while totaling $134.2 in operating expenses ($13M higher YoY). Ticket sale earnings increased by a record $2M with football and men’s and women’s basketball all demonstrating growth, while “other sports,” including baseball and softball, suffered just over a $300K combined decline. Contributions also rose by more than $9.5M, while royalty revenue climbed almost $100K to a total of $7.76M. A $2M boost in coaching salaries, a nearly $4M rise in support staff/administration compensation and severance payments totaling $3.7M (triple from FY23) powered increased spending numbers throughout the department with costs for recruiting, travel equipment and debt services also going up. Of particular note: “Football raked in $43,770,075 in revenue and $35,559,188 in expenses in 2024, both higher than the previous year. It yielded an $8,210,887 profit, a $151,205 decrease from 2023.” (link)

Plaintiffs lawyers have filed paperwork in North Carolina women’s tennis player Reese Brantmeier’s challenge of the NCAA’s prize-money restrictions to extend her lawsuit to cover all collegiate tennis student-athletes who have competed since March 19, 2020. Per The Carolina Journal, Brantmeier’s class action suit “would also add any player ruled ineligible to play because of existing prize-money restrictions.” Brantmeier’s lawyers argued: “Under long-standing amateurism regulations, the NCAA prohibits Tennis Student-Athletes from accepting cash awards, bonuses, and other monetary prizes [...] awarded by third parties for their performance in non-NCAA competitions, such as the U.S. Open Tennis Championships. With limited exceptions, ‘the NCAA bylaws provide that a Student-Athlete forfeits eligibility and is barred from intercollegiate competition [...] if they accept Prize Money in connection with non-NCAA tennis competitions.’ Plaintiffs seek relief on behalf of themselves and proposed Damages and Injunctive Relief classes from the application and past effects of the NCAA’s Prize Money Rules, to compensate class members for past forfeited amounts and to allow them to retain Prize Money for their performances in non-NCAA competitions without losing their collegiate eligibility. [...] The NCAA’s arbitrary rules restrict the amount of Prize Money that Student-Athletes competing in Tennis may accept, causing anticompetitive harm to the markets for their labor and reducing their earning ability.” A previous injunction attempting to cover athletes in multiple college sports, as well as a request from Brantmeier to have her case cover all DI tennis players, were both rejected by judges in late 2024.

Texas introduces a new NIL bill with the intention to “prohibit deals in which an athlete is paid money in exchange for the exclusive right to negotiate using the athlete's NIL and receive a percentage of the earnings from the athlete's NIL.” Per Heitner Legal founder Darren Heitner, the technique is sometimes utilized by “collectives and agents (through exclusive rep agreements with upfront ‘marketing advances’), while the bill could be intended to “protect athletes from unscrupulous individuals.” (link)

A bill has been introduced in Utah that would “permit schools to directly compensate athletes for their NIL,” according to SUNY Cortland sports law professor Daniel Greene. It would make contracts between schools and student-athletes a matter of public record and schools would also become subject to reporting requirements. (link); Full bill text. (link)

Forbes’ Kristi Dosh goes in-depth on Dr. Pepper’s increasing investment in NIL. Starting back in July 2021 following changes in NCAA rules, the brand has featured a new athlete each college football season as part of its “Fansville” series before expanding to partner with 12 players in 2024, among them Texas’ Quinn Ewers, Ohio State’s Will Howard and TreVeyon Henderson and Kansas’ Jalon Daniels. Different activations during the 2024 season included the aforementioned national episodic commercial series, featuring Ewers, working alongside both Ewers and Oklahoma QB Michael Hawkins Jr. on the “It’s a Pepper Thing” social media campaign around the two rivals’ annual Red River Showdown and joining forces with Howard on social items surrounding the CFP National Championship. Dr. Pepper spokesman: “These collaborations allow us to tap into each athlete’s regional influence and offer fans unique experiences with players that celebrate a mutual love for Dr Pepper.” The brand plans to continue expanding its NIL strategy beyond social and into more consumer and retail activities.
