D1.ticker Evening Standard - Thursday, February 13, 2025

While NCAA President Charlie Baker credited the Trump administration’s executive order banning transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports as setting a “clear, national standard,” Sportico’s Daniel Libit observes the Trump White House has also put forth a “series of other education policy initiatives that are injecting new uncertainty into a college sports landscape already grappling with legal and financial instability,” including the rescission of the Biden administration’s Title IX guidance on NIL, cuts to NIH research funding and directing the OMB to freeze federal grants to institutions with DEI programs. Furthermore, Libit notes that “Trump’s efforts to dismantle the Department of Education are likely to encounter even greater legal challenges. Moreover, the president has intertwined his calls to abolish the $268B bureaucracy with attempts to leverage it to advance his own agenda.” While some critics say the decision to rescind the Biden administration’s Title IX NIL guidance undermines Trump’s stated desire of protecting women athletes, others, like former Olympic swimmer and women’s rights advocate Nancy Hogshead-Makar, “point to OCR’s history of fecklessness.” Hogshead-Makar says she filed 101 “very detailed” Title IX complaints with OCR, none of which ended up materializing into action. As such, she tells Libit she “would not mind it moving to the Department of Justice, because this has not worked.” Regarding the restrictions on NIH research funding, James Moore & Co. Partner Katie Davis explains it could have a ripple effect throughout universities, including on athletic departments. “You’ve got (athletic departments) that have either never had to ask for institutional support or only asked for a little that now are trying to plug a $20.5M gap. So I think the timing is just unfortunate for athletics, because they are already in crisis mode.” (link)

Altius Sports Partners Founder Casey Schwab is working to sign all FBS Football student-athletes NIL licensing rights for the college football video game with his new company, Pathway Sports and Entertainment. So far, over 450 players have signed to receive $1,500, over double what they received for the last game, in what Schwab calls “the largest commercial program for college athletes in history.” ESPN’s Pete Thamel adds the potential total for all FBS members tops $17M. More from Schwab: “Most athletic directors and most college football coaches want to support their football players in making legitimate commercial dollars. The reception so far has been excellent.” (link)

More on the formation of Pathway Sports and Entertainment from Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger, who notes the initial outlay is likely to exceed $20M, rather than $17M, with a pool of millions set aside for “ambassador payments” to certain players. Founder Casey Schwab: “The overall vision is for athletes to make more money than we saw in the first year of the video game. We are creating mutual value here. This is a good thing for athletic directors, coaches and schools because they are trying to create legit opportunities for their players. These are legitimate.” Dellenger notes the “video game group licensing deal may serve as a blueprint for schools on how to generate more compensation for their athletes above the revenue-share cap. Already, NIL collectives are evolving into marketing agencies with the intent on creating real deals for athletes — “the new battlefield” in recruiting, according to one collective director. Schwab has “no concerns” over the deals passing muster with the new NIL clearinghouse as Pathway is using “decades of data” to arrive at its payment amounts. The licensing agreement viewed by Dellenger promises to deliver a school $175K in “legitimate, above cap marketing payments” for that school’s athletes. That figure includes $40,000 in additional “ambassador payments” to be mutually determined between Pathway and the school. (link)

Oregon State AD Scott Barnes believes most FBS schools will remain close to 85 football scholarships, with the remaining athletes making the roster as walk-ons who are eligible for NIL and academic bonuses. While each school will have a “bucket of resources,” Barnes explains the specifics of those resources have yet to be determined. “It’s one of those things where the plane is leaving the runway as we build it, because everything’s coming so quickly. It’s not like a switch flips and all of a sudden we magically have a bunch of money. We’re out actively raising it.” As of now there are no plans for layoffs, but Barnes notes that when a position opens “we’ll have to decide whether that position is actually something we want to continue to fund, or use those dollars elsewhere.” For sports that don’t generate revenue, Barnes acknowledges that “it’s going to be tough to fund those at the level they’re at. The (House) settlement has unintended consequences. … The new expenses, those dollars have to come from somewhere. In prioritizing revenue sports, there will be some reductions over time in Olympic sports.” While other schools are folding their collectives, Barnes says OSU and Dam Nation will continue working together.

Kansas State AD Gene Taylor says K-State is exploring the possibility of selling the naming rights to Bramlage Coliseum, adding on-field advertisements at Bill Snyder Family Stadium and selling beer at more than just a few designated areas during football games as ways to generate more revenue. The Wildcats have tried to sell naming rights for its basketball arena since the summer of 2023, according to Taylor, who says the department was close to a deal with one partner, but negotiations fell apart at the finish line. “There is still a lot of interest in those naming rights. We’re still working at it. It’s just not going as fast as we thought it would.” Regarding beer sales at Bill Snyder Family Stadium, Taylor explains the only remaining obstacle is that “there are some physical limitations to our building that we may have to work through before we do it.” Overall, with the House settlement looming, Taylor notes: “We are looking at everything we can possibly look at to generate as much revenue as we can.” (link)

Appalachian State is preparing to enter the 2025-26 season with the expectation it will share revenue with student-athletes, and Mountaineers AD Doug Gillin says: "Many supporters have been asking how they can help in this evolving landscape of revenue sharing. One of the answers is the new App State Football Support Fund, which is critical to the future success of App State Football. The cost to continue to compete at a high level is increasing. We are committed to building on App State's proud winning tradition.” As part of the evolving landscape, App State will not renew its relationship with the TIGMA Collective, and the Mountaineers have outlined three specific comprehensive excellence priorities: scholarships, sport-specific support funds and facilities. (link)

Penn State will rely on temporary seating for the next two seasons at Beaver Stadium but plans to maintain the stadium’s 107K-seat capacity during the $700M renovation, according to Nittany Lions AD Pat Kraft, who says: “The most exciting part of the new offerings is there will be something for everyone. Someone who wants a budget-conscious option for their family will find that. Someone who wants a premium game day and seating experience can have that. And everything in between. We are really proud of the volume of season tickets and season ticket holders we have. That is unique to Penn State and this seating mix allows us to continue to build on that tradition and legacy.” When the renovation is finished, The Athletic’s Audrey Snyder notes the stadium’s west side will consist of 75% non-premium seating and 25% premium seating. The structure on the west side will be 30 feet higher than it previously was, but fans will be at least 100 feet closer to the field. Additionally, the venue’s footprint will significantly increase due to the higher structure and the widened concourses throughout the stadium. Kraft: “The survey results showed our fans wanted more seating options and price points. “In the current building, we essentially have three different options and price points: bench seating, club seats and suites. That’s it. The survey showed our fans had a strong interest in chairbacks, multiple sideline club options and loge boxes, which is similar to what they’ve seen in other venues when we travel for postseason games.” (link)

North Carolina leaders are “leaning toward” building a new men’s basketball arena complex at the off-campus Carolina North location to replace the Dean E. Smith Center, according to Inside Carolina’s Greg Barnes. Chancellor Lee Roberts recently told the Triangle Business Journal that "if we were to move the basketball arena to a location away from the central core of campus, we wouldn't put it in the middle of surface parking lots with nothing else around. It would be part of a broader mixed-use development program, as you've seen in several other venues across the country with multiple uses, including lodging, retail, entertainment and dining. And I'll tell you that would be a significant improvement on the Smith Center location. So it is walkable for a lot of the students, but there's nowhere to get a bite to eat before the game, there's nowhere to grab a beer after the game.” Barnes notes the Carolina North plan calls for “roughly 20% of the 16K-seat capacity to be premium seating, with luxury suites split into tiers, as well as various club seating areas, according to sources. In addition to 3K student seats, that would allow for roughly 10K general seats, split between the lower and upper bowls. The projected timeline from the beginning of pre-design to the completion of construction is just shy of six years, sources confirmed.” (link)

Florida State reported spending $169.7M in FY24 while bringing in $185M in revenue, a surplus of over $15.2M. Contributions increased from $54.2M to $62.3M YoY, and Warchant’s Ira Schoffel reports FSU’s “next biggest revenue source came from the ACC for television/media rights, and that total of $32.7M was roughly flat from the year before. The conference also sent FSU about $6M for league bowl revenue, which was about $4M more than in FY23.” The Seminoles also received about $27.7M in royalties, licensing fees and advertising. On the expenses side, FSU’s two largest categories were nearly $29.6M in coaches’ salaries and another $29.6M for administration and support staff salaries. Another $24.9M went to “other operating expenses,” and an additional $23.4M was charged to overhead and administrative costs. Football racked up $61.1M in expenses, but the Seminoles generated $90.9M in revenue, including $28M in donations. FSU spent $10.9M on men’s basketball while bringing in slightly under $18M in revenue with about $5M coming from contributions. (link)

D1.ticker Morning Edition - Thursday, February 13, 2025

BYU yesterday held a retirement press conference for AD Tom Holmoe where he expressed confidence that President Shane Reese is ready to find the Cougars’ next AD and noted: “One of the things that is super encouraging for me is the day that I came to President [Reese] and we talked this out, he did ask me if I wanted to stay, but he knew that I had made my decision. I think it’s important to note that, soon after, I knew…that he had already turned the page and he was ready to go, and that made me feel so good. He can’t wallow in what was. We’re looking ahead right now. This is a really good time to make a transition. Transitions are part of sport. Change is part of sport, and it’s oftentimes very good. It can be tough, but it’s good. … We’re going to turn the page. The baton will be handed to a new AD and we’ll hit the ground running. That’s what I wanted. That’s what the president wanted, and I think that’s what all of Cougar Nation wants.” Holmoe also explained that he made the decision to retire in July. “The last couple of years I’ve had to seriously contemplate, and my wife and I made the decision for a couple of years that, ‘Let’s go one more. Let’s go one more. Let’s go another.’ Sometime this summer, I’m not sure about the exact date, I just had a really strong impression that it was time. I talked to some people through long years, and they would say, you’ll know when the time is right. And it was in July.” (link, link)

JohnCanzano.com’s eponymous publisher is told by one Pac-12 AD that the league doesn’t have “expansion targets” but rather “many possibilities” when it comes to filling out its membership, and Canzano explains: “The semantics dovetail with what I’ve previously reported about the Pac-12’s media negotiations. The Pac-12 was recently given an update by Octagon. The consulting firm shared that feedback from potential TV partners framed the possible additions (i.e., UNLV, Memphis, Texas State, Nevada, Tulane, Air Force, etc.) as interchangeable in the eyes of media companies.” While the order of operations as of now appears to be securing a new media deal then adding at least one more football member, Canzano notes Saint Mary’s is “tuned into what happens after the Pac-12 gets done shopping for football schools. There’s been speculation that the league might want to add additional basketball schools, and the Gaels — up to No. 19 in the NET ranking this week — make too much sense competitively and geographically to ignore. … Nothing is imminent. Again, football is currently the focus, but a source told me on Wednesday that Saint Mary’s has reached out to Commissioner Teresa Gould. The Gaels are treading lightly and tactfully, per the source, leaving room for communication after the league gets the media rights and football decisions done.” Canzano also reports the Gaels have been working with donors to expand University Credit Union Pavilion from 3,500 seats to 5K.

Ohio State AD Ross Bjork joins NBC4’s Whitney Harding to discuss several topics, including how the Buckeyes are not only maintaining all 36 sports, but will add 90 scholarships if/when the House settlement is approved. “A lot of people called and said, ‘How’d you do that?’ And what we said was we had to recalibrate expenses. So, we had to lessen our expenses and we had to generate more revenue.  … Our donors have stepped up, our season ticket holders are going to continue to step up, we've added some new pricing structures in Ohio Stadium around football. People are gravitating towards those, but we also added seats that don't require a donation and have less of a ticket price. So, we're trying to accommodate everyone at the same time saying we have to drive more revenue to pay for all of this.” To generate more revenue and avoid pricing out fans, Bjork says OSU is looking at ways to make concessions more accessible to increase volume, provide more social spaces for fans to gather and continue looking at alternative events like concerts and the NHL Stadium Series. People always ask me about turning the Horseshoe into natural grass. Well, we can't really do that because we need the artificial surface to be able to host these kinds of events, which people like coming to. So those are the kinds of things that will continue to lean into.” Full interview. (link)

The NCAA Committee on Women’s Athletics is recommending all divisions sponsor legislation to add Women’s Flag Football as an emerging sport, as “At least 65 NCAA schools are sponsoring women's flag football at either the club or varsity levels this year, with more slated to join in 2026.” Charlotte Executive Assoc. AD/Committee on Women’s Athletics Ragean Hill: “The growth of flag football will be exciting to watch in the NCAA as women's sports continue to generate more visibility and opportunities for female student-athletes to excel academically and athletically. The Committee on Women's Athletics wants to thank RCX Sports Foundation and USA Football for submitting the application. CWA looks forward to flag football being added to the Emerging Sports for Women program and watching the sport's exciting journey to NCAA championship status in the future.” (link) 

The Daily News-Record’s Shane Mettlen sits down with Congressman Tim Walberg (R-MI), the newly appointed chair of the House Education and Workforce Committee, to discuss Walberg’s request that the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) take a closer look at how federal dollars are potentially subsidizing DI and DII athletic departments. Walberg says he doesn’t expect a swift response from the GAO, but “with the advent of NIL, certain student-athletes going for unionization, lawsuits with the NCAA, those types of things, this is becoming more of an issue. But also, our responsibility as the Education Committee, we need to look at what’s going on, especially in the cost of education, which continues to go up. … So we’re looking at other aspects and when we hear that at schools like James Madison, a pretty decent share of students at the institution itself end up paying fees for athletics, and probably no more than 5% to 20% of students are involved in athletics and they have tuition increases, how much of that cost actually adds to the cost of their education?” Walberg acknowledges it “may indeed be the case that Virginia has some stringent requirements for reporting and that’s why James Madison has come out as spending more money on student fees than any other Division I school.” He adds: “I was a high school and short-time college wrestler. I probably wouldn’t have had any NIL contracts, but I certainly wouldn’t want to be saddled with increased cost for my college education if I were paying for someone who indeed was getting a great scholarship and having the opportunity for the best tutors in many cases, then got an NIL contract that in the future wasn’t paid for by third-party private collectives, but is paid for by my student fees. That doesn’t seem to cut it when I’m still expected to pay for my college education.” (link)

Prominent Football HCs are “campaigning to transform the allotted 15 days of [spring] practices into NFL-style organized team activities in June or July,” according to CBS’ Brandon Marcello, who reports FBS coaches discussed a potential proposal to eliminate spring practices in favor of OTAs at the AFCA Convention in January. “The goal is to better organize rosters before the summer semester and combat tampering before the spring transfer portal window opens in mid-April.” CBS polled 18 FBS coaches to see if they would conduct spring scrimmages this offseason. While 10 said they would, several indicated they would hesitate if the scrimmages were televised as many are in the Big Ten and SEC. One SEC HC tells Marcello: "No spring game. I give zero sh-ts about tampering, but I care more about not getting players injured." An ACC HC says Nebraska HC Matt Rhule’s reason – to forestall tampering – is “viable, as we had people watching our players at last year's spring game and then offering them deals to transfer.” Another ACC HC sees things differently: "If someone wants to leave after spring and is tampered with then I didn't want them anyhow. They will eventually quit on you at some point." An AAC HC adds: “Our rosters get tampered with constantly. I'm not sure that playing a spring game or not would really change that." Coaches also told Marcello that further discussion on offseason workouts is expected if/when the House settlement is approved on April 7. (link)

Women’s basketball coaches are increasingly open about balancing motherhood with their jobs, according to The Athletic’s Chantel Jennings, who explains: “Through the years, women coaches have quietly supported each other. Former Tennessee coach Pat Summitt famously gave birth to her son while on a recruiting trip. She later made a point to encourage women to stay in coaching after becoming mothers, including now-LSU coach Kim Mulkey, who was a Louisiana Tech assistant while pregnant in the early 1990s. Mulkey now gives baby gifts to pregnant coaches to show support.” Lady Vols HC Kim Caldwell on her pregnancy: “I think at first my whole mindset was: Lay low, lay low; don’t talk about it; don’t draw attention to it. Now I see what the bigger picture is for up-and-coming moms in this (profession).” In the late stages of her pregnancy, Oklahoma State HC Jacie Hoyt says doctors forbade her from flying, causing her to miss two road games. As such, she wanted to get back to the sidelines as quickly as she could. “It wasn’t about the job so much as: How can I be the best version of myself for my daughter and this program? I think a lot of people were kind of critical of me coming back so soon, but they don’t understand how good that actually was for me, mentally and emotionally.” USC HC Lindsey Gottlieb adds: “We have lifestyle jobs, and so if you want to keep women in the profession and have them not feel like they have to choose either coaching or parenting, trying to make things as easy as possible. Everything can evolve. … You can do both.” (link)

Mississippi State Baseball HC Chris Lemonis tells D1Baseball’s Mark Etheridge that roster management is “the hardest part of our job right now. We spend so much time building rosters with recruiting – it’s portal, it’s high school, it’s juco. Right now, with a 34-man roster coming you feel when players show up, they need to play right away. There’s less of a developmental aspect.” Etheridge notes that while players no longer have to accept waiting for their turn as they develop, coaches also “have other options besides waiting on the freshmen to mature or bringing in a junior college transfer.” Kentucky HC Nick Mingione: “I think because of the draft and portal, there are so many moving parts. It is one thing to have a plan, but you better have a backup plan. No plan survives first contact. It is going to change. It is forever evolving.” Etheridge also observes that just one of the 16 SEC programs (Missouri) had a higher returnee percentage this season than in 2020. “The highest back then was LSU at 63% returnees. The highest today is Alabama at 52%, the league average in 2020. The lowest in 2020 was Ole Miss at 38%. Today that would rank tied for 13th.” More from Etheridge. (link)

CBS and CBS Sports “will likely become unavailable” on YouTube TV starting today, and Sportico’s Jacob Feldman points out that if the carriage dispute lasts long enough, it could include seven men’s basketball conference championship games and an increasing number of NCAA Tournament matchups. YouTube TV in a message to subscribers explains it is “our goal to restore Paramount content. The company is promising an $8 credit if Paramount content is unavailable “for an extended period of time,” which Feldman points out is the same amount it costs for a month of access to Paramount+. However, the linear feed of CBS Sports Network is not available through Paramount+. In a memo to employees, Paramount explained it “has been negotiating a renewal agreement with Google to provide YouTube TV subscribers with continued access to their favorite premium content from BET, CBS, CBS Sports Network, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, Paramount Network and more. Unfortunately, Google is unwilling to agree to reasonable terms consistent with the market, choosing to jeopardize the entertainment experience at the expense of consumers.” (link)
