D1.ticker Morning Edition - Monday, February 17, 2025

The Women’s Basketball Committee revealed its first Top 16 release of the season, which was led by No. 1s UCLA, South Carolina, Texas & Notre Dame. 2s: USC, LSU, UConn & NC State. 3s: TCU, Duke, North Carolina & Kansas State. And, 4s: Kentucky, Ohio State, Oklahoma & Tennessee. Arkansas AVC/Deputy AD for Student-Athlete Wellness & Committee chair Derita Dawkins: “With 29 days to go before Selection Sunday, this first reveal provided some clarity on the top teams today and also pointed to the many important matchups that will be played over the next several weeks that will greatly impact the 2025 championship field.” More.

While momentum toward extending the NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments has increased, SVP for Basketball Dan Gavitt tells HoopsHQ’s Seth Davis it’s far from inevitable. “Some people have said that it feels like expansion is a fait accompli, but that’s not true. There’s still a possibility that after all this reviewing that the recommendation will be not to do it.” One of the major constraints is the compressed calendar. Davis notes the “NCAA Tournament is preceded by conference tournaments, which are both lucrative and locked into long-term TV contracts. It is followed immediately by The Masters, which has been an important property for CBS since 1956.” Davis goes on to submit that money is unlikely to be the motivating factor the way that many people believe. “For starters, NCAA Tournament revenue makes up less than 5% of athletic budgets at power conference schools. Expanding the field would barely make a dent in their bottom line. And there are substantial costs involved. More teams means more money spent on travel (the NCAA provides each team with a chartered aircraft unless it’s close enough to travel by bus), hotels, game operations and the like. And whatever the NCAA does to the men’s tournament, it must do for the women’s tournament as well.” Additionally, Davis notes reducing the value of each tourney unit is a “non-starter.” That said, Davis lists many reasons expanding the tournament makes sense, including: there are a lot more good teams, it would spice up Tuesday and Wednesday and the power conferences want it. Ultimately, Davis contends: “The NCAA Tournament is the greatest event in all of sports and adding a few more teams won’t change that. It might even make March Madness a little bit better.” (link)

Momentum is also building within the SEC and Big Ten to further expand the College Football Playoff to 14 or 16 teams, “assign multiple automatic qualifiers per league — as many as four each for themselves — and finalize a scheduling arrangement together that may fetch millions in additional revenue from TV partners,” according to Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger, who notes that leaders from both conferences last spring “threatened to create their own postseason system if they were not granted a majority of CFP revenue and full authority over the playoff format. In the end, executives of the 10 FBS leagues and Notre Dame signed a memorandum of understanding handing control over to college football’s two richest conferences. … According to most who have viewed the [MOU] from last spring, the SEC and Big Ten hold sole discretion on the future CFP format starting in 2026.” The 14-team format is described as a “4-4-2-2-1+1 model in which the top two seeds receive first-round byes. There would be no byes in a 16-team structure. In either, the CFP selection committee’s role is greatly diminished.” As for how other conference readers are approaching the situation, Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark says his conference has been exploring “predictive analysis” on how different playoff models would impact conference participation. “Meanwhile, Group of 5 leaders are prepared to fight to potentially expand upon their one automatic access spot,” according to AAC Commissioner Tim Pernetti. Also from Dellenger: “Though they have not publicly commented, ESPN executives have expressed to at least some college leaders apprehension about a format that provides such lopsided automatic access. … There is not expected to be any new television revenue if the field is expanded to 14 as the figure is included in the memorandum. If the field is expanded to 16, however, it may require negotiations from the leagues for more revenue.” Lots more. (link)

Baylor President and NCAA Board of Governors Chair Linda A. Livingstone sits down with AthleticDirectorU’s Tai M. Brown to discuss the evolution of athletics and its purpose within a higher education framework. Livingstone and Brown also reflect on the increasingly “transactional” relationship between student-athletes and schools and the pain points that environment creates for coaches and administrators who are seeking to offer an integrated experience for athletes. Livingstone also talks about the evolution of student-athletes’ identities as they transition out of competition. Livingstone says of the relationship between athletics and higher ed: “Athletics is a huge window into a campus. We talk about it being the front porch of a university because it gets so much visibility, especially when you’re in an autonomy conference. It represents deeply our mission as an institution, our academic quality as an institution. It’s why at Baylor, we care deeply about the coaches that we hire, that they live out our mission… and then we want student-athletes that represent the broader mission and image of the university.” In discussing her leadership philosophy as both Baylor’s president and chair of the NCAA Board of Governors, Livingstone explains: “My role as a leader is to help ensure that the people that work with me and for me have the ability to do their job as well as they can; to remove barriers, to provide resources but also it’s to help facilitate the vision and direction of the institution so that the people that I work with know where to direct their attention and their time… A lot of my job is solving problems, to make life easier for other people in the organization.” Lots more on ADU.

The New York Times’ Billy Witz examines the dynamics of who’s in charge of college athletes’ physical wellbeing using former Penn State football team doctor Scott Lynch’s case as context. Lynch, who eventually won a $5.25M wrongful termination suit against Penn State University Health, was troubled by not only what he characterized as interference by HC James Franklin, but also by a Nike representative who wanted tape removed from a player’s cleats because it covered up the swoosh. Lynch tells Witz: “College sports are broken, and I think they’re beyond repair. There’s way too much money that’s getting in the way of people making good decisions. Nobody’s protecting the athletes.” Former Minnesota Director of Athletic Medicine Moira Novak also says she was ousted after being viewed as an obstacle to winning when she reported what she had viewed as unethical — or illegal — behavior. “College athletics is the Wild West when it comes to medical services. I’m sure there’s some that do a decent job. But if I had a son or daughter who was a college athlete, I’d make sure they know they have to be their own advocate.” Meanwhile, Lynch’s attorney, Steven Marino, says of the case: “It was a devastating finding of fact, but I don’t think it’s enough to effect change. It should have been a $50M judgment. This is just going to be the cost of doing business.” Witz points out that the NCAA  has never punished a school for interfering with medical autonomy, and NATA Chair Brant Berkstresser argues: “The failure is, there are no reporting mechanisms and there’s no enforcement. A standard without a consequence is not a standard.” (link)

In analyzing FY24 Big Ten financials, The Athletic’s Scott Dochterman points out that recruiting costs among the 16 public universities have jumped 56% over the past two years from $19.35M to $30M. Upon first glance, it appears Iowa spends far less on recruiting than the other institutions, but Dochterman points out that it’s simply a function of accounting, as the Hawkeyes categorize expenses like recruiting software in the “other” bucket. In men’s basketball gate receipts, Dochterman notes Iowa is 12th among the 16 teams and hasn’t hit $4M in gate revenue since 2005. “So you’re looking at a 20-year period where they’ve had not only no growth, but really losing, in this case over 20 years, they’re down over 25-26%. That’s significant.” (link)

Kennyhertz Perry attorney Mit Winter goes deeper on his Pathway Sports & Entertainment-NFLPA research: “Have gathered more info on the Pathways agreement I feel is important to share. The agreement will guarantee college players make more $ from the game than they did last year, and (if they make it to the NFL) provide the ability to make more in royalties than NFL players do now. … It's also important to note there's no scenario where college players who sign the agreement won't be in the college game. So this is a better video game licensing deal for college athletes than what currently exists.” (link)

Teamworks SVP of Business Development for North America Kevin Barefoot joins Connect’s Stephanie Garcia Cichosz from the 2025 NCAA Convention to discuss the acquisition of Basepath and share details of how Teamworks General Manager fits into the professionalization of college sports. Teamworks has also acquired Zelus Analytics, and Barefoot explains that Zelus brings “data-driven, value-based analysis where a coach can assign value to players based on how they may fit on their team and their scheme in that particular year. And then frankly that can inform the true value of the athlete so you can decide how much they should maybe be paid through NIL or rev-share.” Zelus also offers player value projections, and Barefoot notes the company has worked with the NFL, NBA, MLB and Premier League to “help them prepare for free agency and the draft and how they rank players. So we're going to be bringing a tool to market in the middle of this year to do just that. We're going to really bring the model that professional organizations have been using into the collegiate athletic space and coaches are literally going to be able to look at the transfer portal and see ratings – player-specific, position-specific ratings – to help inform the roster construction.” Check out the full Q&A on Connect.

Notre Dame Men’s Basketball HC Micah Shrewsberry following the Fighting Irish loss to Louisville on Sunday, unloaded on a reporter: “I understand that a lot of people have quit on us, and well-deserved. If you hate me, absolutely. Absolutely, man. Great. If you think I suck, if you think I can’t coach, I’m with you, man. Good. Good for you because you’re allowed to have opinions. If you think I should be fired, good for you. You’re allowed to have opinions, right? A lot of people have given up on this team. They’ve given up on me. I don’t really give a damn. I believe in myself, and I believe in these guys, okay? So don’t give up on these guys. … If you don’t want to show up because of me, don’t show up because of me. Because you think I suck. Cool. I’m okay with that. I know people believe in me. I know people at Notre Dame believe in me. But don’t give up on these kids, man. What have they done for people to give up on them? I know if you’re not with us because we’re losing, you don’t want to come watch this, fine. But do it because of me then. But not these kids, man. They don’t deserve that. … I don’t care about anybody’s opinion. I know who I am. I know I can coach basketball. I know I’m turning this program around. So you gave up on me already? I don’t want to see you back here. I don’t give a damn. Don’t give up on these kids because we gonna get this thing rolling. I sat there and watched more Louisville fans in here than Notre Dame people. That’s embarrassing. That’s embarrassing for me because I’m the head coach here. Yes, I got us in this predicament. But don’t come back when we’re…winning because we’re turning this around, man. You better believe that. Everybody that gave up on me, believe it. Write this date down and believe it, because we’re going to get this thing rolling. I don’t care if you gave up on me or not.” (link)

Texas A&M has amended its policy through which baseball student-athletes would’ve been unavailable after losses to state that all interview requests must be made to the athletic department 24 hours in advance. Purple Insider’s Matthew Coller reacts by asking: “Giving 24 hour notice means that the reporters are supposed to guess who they’re gonna need to talk with after a game?” To which ESPN’s Ben Baby responds: “One of the golden rules of covering college athletics is 90% of the time, the media is at the mercy of whomever the schools/coaches wanna make available.” (link, link)

D1.ticker Morning Edition - Sunday, February 16, 2025

During yesterday’s ESPN College GameDay from Alabama, ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported on movement behind the scenes for a potential expansion of March Madness in 2026: “If the tournament is to expand – and it remains an IF – the ‘more likely option’ is to 76 teams, per multiple-high ranking sources. The NCAA and its media partners remain in discussions, with a decision likely within the next few months. Expansion to 76 would mean a likely additional site to join Dayton, which would be expected to be outside of the Eastern Time Zone for travel. The details of what 8 additional teams would look like are still being hashed out, and sources stress there's plenty of complications. The women’s tournament would be expected to grow to 76 alongside of it, if there is expansion.” More. (link)

If the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament started today, these would be the top 16 seeds: Auburn, Alabama, Duke and Florida all with No. 1 seeds, followed by Tennessee, Texas A&M, Purdue, Houston, Iowa State,  Kentucky, Wisconsin, Arizona, Texas Tech, Michigan, Kansas and St. John's. Have a look at the reveal, where amid a round of laughs North Carolina AD Bubba Cunningham tells the crew “I can’t do it” when asked to announce Duke as the third No. 1 seed. “I would love to say something good about them, but I can’t.” (link, link)

Extra Points publisher Matt Brown catches up with Chicago State AD Monique Carroll to discuss the launch of the Cougars’ football program. As far as searching for a coach, Carroll says the school really wants somebody who “has experience across multiple levels of football, and who can help us really build this thing up.” Starting a program from scratch at the DI level doesn’t happen very often, so Carroll noted that the ideal candidate would be someone who is comfortable fundraising and being the face of the program, “but also really needs to be somebody who can coach as well.” The Cougars would like to play home games at Gately Stadium, which Brown notes is “currently owned by the Chicago Public Schools, has a capacity of roughly 4,000, sufficient parking, and is already well known in the community. The facility would need upgrades in order to be ready to host FCS football, (increased capacity, a larger press box, permanent restrooms, etc.), and Chicago State would be prepared to help with those improvements and upgrades.” However, Gately already serves as the home field for several high school programs, and there are currently games scheduled on Fall Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Another option is SeatGeek Stadium, the home of the NWSL’s Chicago Stars as well as the Chicago State soccer programs. Brown points out that SeatGeek is the “largest possible option, with a capacity close to 20,000, and has been mentioned as a possible stadium option in various Chicago State football feasibility studies, but also has drawbacks. The stadium is in Bridgeview, not Chicago, and is a good half hour drive from Chicago State’s campus. It will not be an easy commute for Cougar fans.” It also lacks locker rooms big enough to accommodate football teams. More from Brown. (link)

Illinois celebrated the jersey raising of former Men’s Basketball student-athlete Terrence Shannon Jr. in the State Farm Center on Saturday, but when the jersey was unveiled, it was upside down. Illini AD Josh Whitman apologized for the incident: “We had a regrettable situation at halftime with the jersey around Terrence's celebration. Obviously, a really regrettable moment. It's a shame that it happened that way. Of course, I didn't hang the jersey, but I'm ultimately responsible for everything that happens in this building, and ultimately, that means that was on me tonight. We need to make sure that we understand that in life mistakes happen, but there are also certain moments where mistakes can't happen. And tonight, we stole that moment for Terrence, and that's on us and something we have apologized to him for. We have apologized to his mom. I want to make sure that we apologize to our fans and everybody who was excited to be part of this experience, tonight." (link)

Toledo AD Bryan Blair co-hosted an on-campus panel that included the likes of Stanford Football GM Andrew Luck & former Northeastern/Dartmouth AD Peter Roby to discuss the changing landscape of college athletics. Blair: “Despite all the change, I promise you, the sky is not falling. While we've had that success, I continue to harken back to a quote by Nelson Mandela, and I want to read it to make sure I get it right. ‘Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does.’ It speaks to the youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair, I'm the product of sport. I wouldn't be standing in front of you if it wasn't for my experience from playing sport as a youth to playing in college, to ultimately allowing me to get a law degree and go on to a career. I am a product of sport in air, collegiate athletics, but I don't work in sport. I work in educating young people. I work in uniting communities. I work in uniting our alumni and getting them excited and proud to wear that University of Toledo athletic or logo. I work in graduating champions who will go on to power the world and certainly transform the world.” Luck: “I don't think anybody's under the illusion that perhaps this House settlement's going to come on April 7th, but it's not going to be the end of the change. It can't be. It won't be. There's too much still going on and I'm not sure when we're going to settle on some change. But I think to continue to thread as well that somehow some way student athlete probably shouldn't die as a thing. I think it's incredible. I think college sports might be one of the greatest developers of humans that our country has, especially when we think about leadership or service, whatever that may be. And somehow some way the money side of the equation has to be held in a proper tension with scholarships, students and athletes. So I think that's part of where my mind sits when I take off my Stanford GM hat and the sort of things I have to do on a daily basis.” Roby: “That's what Bryan and his staff are wrestling with right now. So you want to be competitive in FBS football, right? You want to do some sort of revenue share with FBS football. So what's the cost of doing that? Not just the cost of how much money you have to raise and you want to share with your football team, but are you going to have to take resources away from other sports in order to do that? And now if that's what you have to do, is everybody okay with that? Okay. So that's part of the equation and the balance that everybody's going through in college athletics. So when your football team is not as good as you would like them to be careful how much pressure you end up putting on certain people because maybe they're trying to keep that balance in order. There's decisions that have to be made every day and sometimes it's going to result in your football team maybe not being quite as good as you'd hope they would be.” (link)

BYU’s next AD will face “essentially the same timeframe to prepare for massive realignment that [outgoing AD Tom] Holmoe encountered — perhaps five years, maybe six — when he took over in 2005,” according to The Mercury News’ Jon Wilner, who adds: “In absolute terms, sure, the Cougars have ascended the conference hierarchy. But on a relative basis, their position is comparable to what it was back then, with their sights set on a higher tier that will undoubtedly materialize when the decade turns.” As far as how this impacts the candidate pool remains to be seen, as Wilner posits the school will “undoubtedly select a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, someone with ties to the school, or both. Another difference: The Cougars have all the money and resources needed to compete at the highest level — to earmark $20.5M for their athletes in the revenue-sharing era, to supplement that rev-share with true NIL, to hire the coaches and build the facilities to ensure a competitive product. It’s entirely a matter of willpower. But strategically, the Cougars are just like everyone else in the Big 12 and the ACC, in the rebuilt Pac-12 and across the Group of Five conferences. They want to be ready for the next realignment wave.” (link)

Texas Women's Basketball HC Vic Schaefer has agreed to a three-year contract extension that could keep him with the Longhorns through the 2029-30 season. Schaefer arrived in Austin in 2020, agreeing to a seven-year, guaranteed contract worth $13.8M in August of that year. No additional details on the new deal yet, except this from Horns247’s Eric Henry: “Should the contract extension be approved by the board of regents, Schaefer is set to make $2.6 million dollars in the final year of the deal.” (link)

Populous Managing Director of the Americas Bruce Miller has been named CEO and Global Chair, replacing Earl Santee, one of the firm’s original founders who will transition to Executive Chairman and remain on the board of directors. Global Director of the Global Holdings board Jonathan Mallie will fill Miller’s previous role, and continue as global director. EMEA Region Managing Director Christopher Lee will become VC of the Board of Directors and Global Head of Design. APAC Region Managing Director Richard Breslin also joins the board. (link)

247Sports’ Chris Hummer wondered how often do all-conference college football players transfer? Not a single first-team all-conference player in the Power Four entered the transfer portal during the winter window. The story in the Group of Five ranks is very different, where 66.7% of first-team selections (38 of 57) opted to transfer. More data: 127 first- or second-team all-conference G5 players are returning for 2025, but more than half of them (57.5%) transferred this offseason, with 67 of 73 ending up in the Power Four. Six second-team Power Four players transferred. (link)

The Athletic’s Sam Khan Jr. via X: “This is a first in my years of covering college sports: Texas A&M baseball’s media policy states that players won't be made available for interviews after losses.” Villanova Senior Assoc. AD for Strategic Communication Dana O’Neil comments: “Always admired the class & dignity athletes show in defeat. It's not fun, but it's accountability. It's also what they're asked to do as pros; shielding them does no one any favors to prepare them for their futures, for dealing w disappointment, for essentially growing up.” Wabash College (DIII) Dir. of Marketing and Media Relations Richard Paige observes: “So many stories become great because of the composure and maturity of a student-athlete on the losing side who opened up and spoke to reporters.” (link)

YouTube TV and Paramount have officially reached a deal. YouTube TV’s statement via X on Saturday night: “Members, we’re happy to share that we’ve reached a deal to continue carrying Paramount content on YouTube TV. That means you still have access to channels like CBS, CBS Sports, and Nickelodeon. Add-ons like Paramount+ with SHOWTIME and BET+ also remain uninterrupted. … With this agreement, YouTube TV will continue to offer 100+ channels, while enabling more user choice in the future. Thank you again for your patience, and as always, we appreciate your membership.” (link)

Puck’s John Ourand writes on some interesting developments around ESPN & its media rights portfolio. For starters, ESPN will not renew its deal with F1 that ends this year & pays the racing circuit $90M annually. Ourand points to Netflix & NBC as possible landing spots for a new F1 package, the latter “would be a natural landing pad, since the sport could help drive Peacock’s subscription business.” ESPN is also considering opting out of its package with Major League Baseball, which it has the right to do after this year & includes assets like Sunday Night Baseball, the Home Run Derby, the Wild Card series & more. The price tag is $500M per year as Ourand adds: “MLB has begun talking with other mediacos, including Netflix and Amazon, to gauge their interest in taking over ESPN’s rights if things go south. Those talks have mainly focused on 2028, which is when all of the league’s media deals are up, but the conversations have naturally and informally turned to ESPN’s rights package, which could be available as soon as next year.” Overall, Ourand calls it “the new era of ESPN discipline.” (link)
