D1.ticker Evening Standard - Friday, February 28, 2025

The NCAA’s revenue increased by $91M YoY to $1.38B in FY24, marking the highest inflation-adjusted total in at least two decades, per USA Today’s Steve Berkowitz; however, with the $2.78B House settlement factored into its FY24 accounting, the NCAA’s total liabilities jumped from $304M in FY23 to $3.06B, resulting in a net asset total of minus-$1.97B. Sportico’s Daniel Libit and Eben Novy-Williams note the association “said it ended the year with $1.03B of financial assets available within a year—which includes cash ($265.8M), accounts receivable ($55.6M) and investments that can be quickly liquidated ($705.9M). That’s up from $815.3M in fiscal 2023.” Setting aside the House settlement, the NCAA ran a surplus of nearly $166M in FY24 and CFO Mario Morris says: "With an overall revenue increase of $91M this fiscal year, the NCAA continues to provide its membership with sound fiscal operations and its student-athletes with quality benefits and an unmatched championship experience. We anticipate a debt-free NCAA in 2025, and moving forward, revenue generation is top of mind and efforts to reduce costs are a priority. Good fiscal responsibility positions the NCAA to better weather future expenses, while continuing to look for improvements that help member schools." The lion’s share of the revenue ($948M) came from TV and media rights while $263M came from championships and NIT tournaments. More on the finances. (link, link); Full independent audit. (link)

Saint Francis AD James Downer is no longer with the university, according to the Altoona Mirror’s Jarrod Prugar. More: “While a successor has not been officially named by the university, long-time Saint Francis athletics administrator Jim Brazill is listed as the athletic director.” (link)

Iowa State extends AD Jamie Pollard’s contract through June 30, 2030. President Wendy Wintersteen: "During Jamie's 20 years, the university has celebrated all-time program bests academically and athletically, and significant growth in attendance. He has built a culture of success at Iowa State, while navigating the many changes in collegiate athletics. I also appreciate Jamie's efforts to create a new vision for the Iowa State Center and athletic facilities through the CyTown entertainment district concept." (link)

WCC Commissioner/NCAA Men’s Basketball committee member Stu Jackson joins the Canzano & Wilner podcast and says the Power 4 conferences “dictated” the College Football Playoff revenue-share, the “fast-forward, we saw it again with the House settlement and in part because the four conferences, along with the NCAA, were defendants in the case, they essentially dictated our responsibility as other conferences what our level of participation would be in the damages and the options that we had with respect to revenue-sharing if and when the House settlement was approved. Throughout both of those processes there were a lot of people kept in the dark, and here we are, once again, facing a potential restructuring of NCAA governance and what championships will look like going forward, and we're somewhat in the dark again. And for me it's a lost opportunity for leadership because anytime you have that much responsibility, I think as a leader, who’s someone that knows where this is all going…has a responsibility to show everybody else what that direction looks like. And that has not happened. … And here we are in this mess where many of the conferences, like ours and institutions across all conferences nationally, are sitting in the dark waiting for the tablets to be handed down.” When it comes to expanding the NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, Jackson says he’s “all for it as long as the value of the basketball unit that many conferences around the country rely on for their athletic department budgets isn't compromised. If financially the NCAA is able to somehow negotiate an expansion of the tournament that brings in more revenue as to not compromise that unit, okay. But I don't think the NCAA tournament is broken with a field of 68.” Lots more. (link)

MAAC Commissioner Travis Tellitocci says the league is considering a rebrand that may or may not include a name change: "Our identity isn't really well understood. We're often referred to as 'the MAAC with two As,' or 'the MAAC that doesn't have football' or 'the other MAAC.' Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, it's a bit of a mouthful. So there's often even confusion about what that stands for. We frequently get 'Mid Atlantic' or some other misinterpretation. It's a challenge I think we continue to navigate as we look to strengthen our brand and our identity." Conference leaders have met with focus groups including alumni, athletes, administrators and others to discuss the matter, but Tellitocci notes that “at the end of the day, there might be a desire to keep things exactly how they are. I just think it's important to have the conversation and explore ways to better brand ourselves, not only in the Northeast, where there's a stronger recognition, but nationally as well." Former Commissioner Rich Ensor says a name change has been discussed several times over the years. "Always a question about perceived brand confusion nationally versus messing with your established brand regionally. And what do you use instead and how much new brand confusion do you inject into (the) marketplace and with the fans? It's not an inexpensive process on many levels with name/logo changes, but it can inject a new vitality…if backed by a strong rollout campaign." (link)

Texas A&M and Playfly Sports have agreed to a 15-year multimedia rights partnership. Aggies AD Trev Alberts: “We are entering a new era of collegiate athletics and Texas A&M is positioned to be a strong leader. This partnership with Playfly reflects our commitment to innovation, maximizing our revenue potential, and providing new opportunities for our student-athletes, fans, and corporate partners. Our ability to find and grow, approved, fair market NIL deals to organically grow our cap will be critically important. With a focus on NIL, premium experiences, and strategic partnerships, we are excited about the transformative impact this collaboration will have on our programs, our university, and the entire Aggie Network.” (link); TexAgs.com Executive Editor/Co-Owner Billy Liucci cites sources as saying that the deal, which begins in July 2026, is worth $515M and is fully guaranteed. The site also noted A&M jumps from $18M annually to $34M annually. (link)

Ohio State AD Ross Bjork tells Columbus Business First’s Amanda Tonoli that while OSU is a self-sustaining athletic department, “how we spend our money and how we make our money has to be different” given the changes in the industry. Bjork adds that “the goal” is to keep OSU’s 36 sports, and the Buckeyes are still “going through the mapping of what does revenue-sharing look like” in terms of how much each sport gets. “We’ll have an allocation to football. We’ll have an allocation to a couple other sports. Not every athlete will receive that check, that type of support.” Bjork believes NIL will “sort of level set, because you’ll now have institutional dollars” and he notes the Buckeyes have “reworked the budget and (generated) new revenue and cut expenses.” Still, he maintains OSU must continue to invest in facilities and further monetize them. “The team, before I got here, came up with the stadium tour idea. That is essentially just sort of a found revenue source. ... It hasn’t even been a year, (and) we’re approaching almost $1M.” (link)

Georgia AD Josh Brooks covers several topics on The Paul Finebaum Show, including his advocacy for the league as a whole to get as many teams in the College Football Playoff as possible: “I believe in the strength of this league, and the strength of this league is the quality from one to 16, so I’m always going to advocate for as many of our teams to get in as possible.” Brooks also notes that “you hate to judge everything based off one year of the 12-team format and say, ‘Well, this is what it is,’ but I do have concerns. You have recent stories where certain games have been canceled in series – Power 4 matchups out of conference – and there's been comments made to the regard of they didn't think that game would help them, it would only hurt them. That's frustrating to read because that shows that the committee probably isn't putting enough weight on strength of schedule, which only then hurts our fans, hurts our product if we’re not able to go schedule those games and we have to go water down the schedule because our primary focus shifts from quality of competition to quantity of wins and that’s not great for anyone.” (link); Brooks also believes that adding a ninth conference football game would likely mean more revenue from ESPN: “Obviously we’ve got great brand and the conference is strong, and if you look at the viewership reports from college football this year, the SEC was all over it…so we know there’s a lot of value there.” (link)

Florida State AD Michael Alford says the West Sideline Club seats at Doak Campbell Stadium are sold at 92% capacity (2,174 seats); the Dunlap Champions Club is sold at 82% capacity (2,860 seats); and the West chairback seats, which only recently have gone up for sale, are at 29% (2,379). Alford also notes FSU has already “reached or exceeded” its projected capital gift commitments for both the West Sideline Club ($28.6M) and Champions Club ($28.9M). Meanwhile, a new standalone football facility is slated to be completed in August, but Alford says the team will likely wait to move in until the first bye week in early September. (link)

San Diego State AD John David Wicker called the Pac-12 Enterprises HQ a “phenomenal facility” and told fans this week that “not only are they going to be able to help us produce our content, about half of the production capability of the facility, we’re going to be able to go out to other entities, Major League Baseball, the NBA, Cal, Stanford, other institutions, produce their content and then they’re going to pay us to do it. It’s another revenue stream that we’re going to have.” Wicker added of conference expansion: “We’ll figure out if we’re adding one, two or three more schools and whether they’re coming in all of their sports. They might be coming in in some of their sports. There’s a lot of work to get done, but our goal is to be done with that by June 30, so people can let their other conference know they’re going to come join the Pac-12, the best conference on the West Coast.” Wicker didn’t specify exactly how much revenue SDSU will share with student-athletes but said it won’t be the full $20.5M. “If anybody wants to write us that check right now, we’ll be happy to share that amount. But otherwise, we’ll be at a number lower than that.” (link)

St. Bonaventure will opt into the House settlement, and Bonnies AD Bob Beretta explains this is a “move designed to strengthen our university as a whole, not just Athletics. President Gingerich and our Board of Trustees recognize the value a successful men's basketball program brings to the university, and I appreciate their leadership in this moment of significant change. Opting into the settlement terms will allow St. Bonaventure Athletics to remain competitive nationally and to continue to deliver our student-athletes a championship experience.” (link); William & Mary will also opt into the House settlement. (link); Same for Lamar. (link); And Austin Peay. (link); East Texas A&M will opt in, as well. (link)

Texas Tech announces FY24 revenues of $126.78M and operating expenses of $126.71 for a surplus of a little over $70K per the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal’s Don Williams. It marks a return to a more normal budget range, following an outlier related to the new football facilities project that created a $10.4M surplus in FY23, stemming largely from a $56.25M increase in realized department contributions. TTU’s largest sources of FY24 operating revenue came from media rights, NCAA & conference distributions ($36.85M), gift contributions ($32.28M), royalties, licensing and advertising/sponsorships ($17.05M) and ticket sales ($16.75M down from $18.21M in FY23). Tech also “subsidized athletics with $8.26 million in indirect institutional support for athletics facilities debt service and $6.513 million in direct institutional support.” Citing one less home game this season, football’s operating budget decreased from $80.8M in FY23 to $72.5M in FY24. The biggest budget expenses came from compensation ($49.05M - split almost eventually between coaching and support staff/admin pay, benefits & bonuses), direct overhead and administrative costs ($12.92M), athletic facilities debt service, rental fees and leases ($12.20M), team travel ($9.42M) and scholarships ($7.94M). Overall, football ($28.47M) and men’s basketball ($2.51M) were the only two Red Raider sports to finish FY24 in the black. (link)

The Football Rules Committee has proposed modifications to the injury timeout rules for the 2025-26 season to state that if medical personnel enter the field to evaluate an injured player after the ball is spotted, that player's team would be charged a timeout. If the team does not have any timeouts remaining, a 5-yard delay-of-game penalty would be assessed. The committee notes the “impetus for recommending this change is to provide an in-game mechanism that can curtail the faking of injuries because committee members think these actions negatively affect the overall perception of the game.” Committee members also proposed that if a game reaches a third OT, each team would have one timeout to use until the game is concluded. Currently, teams are allotted one timeout for each overtime period. Other recommendations include: When the decision on instant replay is announced, the referee says only that the call on the field is "upheld" or "overturned." The terms "confirmed" and "stands" would not be used. Additionally, it was proposed that coach-to-player communication, similar to that used in FBS last year, be permissive for FCS teams. (link)

HBO’s Hard Knocks will cover North Carolina’s football program instead of an NFL team this summer. According to Front Office Sports’ Ryan Glasspiegel, NFL Films turned to the Tar Heels because they could not find an NFL team willing to take part. NBC Sports’ Josh Alper adds that the New York Giants were the featured team during free agency and the draft last season, and “their stint will be best remembered for General Manager Joe Schoen explaining to team co-owner John Mara why he wouldn’t re-sign Saquon Barkley as a free agent. Mara told Schoen how much it would bother him if Barkley signed with the (Philadelphia) Eagles, which is exactly what happened and Mara had to watch the former Giant win the Super Bowl. The desire to avoid something similar likely contributed to the lack of interest from NFL teams, but the prospect of going behind the scenes as Belichick prepares for his first season as a college coach makes for a pretty good alternative for the series.” (link)

Legal Matters…

+ Fresno State has joined with the NCAA to investigate “allegations that two men's basketball players participated in daily fantasy contests based on their own performances.” Junior forward Mykell Robinson was removed from the roster, after playing in a Jan. 11 game against Nevada, following reports that he and associates made wagers and created fantasy entries including the under on his points and rebounds in contests in which he participated. Already dismissed senior guard Jalen Weaver told ESPN that “he played a daily fantasy contest on his points total in the Bulldogs' home game against New Mexico on Dec. 31.” In addition, senior guard Zaon Collins was recently held out of a game against Air Force for allegedly betting on pro sports, but remains part of the current roster. Prior to the Air Force contest, Weaver and Collins were two of the Bulldogs’ top three scorers at 12.5 and 12.0 ppg, respectively. (link)

+ Georgia baseball student-athlete Dylan Goldstein’s motion for a preliminary injunction allowing him to play for the Bulldogs in 2025 was denied on Friday by U.S. District Middle Court Judge Tripp Self, just three days following an in-person hearing. Goldstein's attempt to gain another season of eligibility, after one campaign at a junior college, came following the NCAA’s blanket waiver after Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia received an injunction to play in the fall of 2025. The NCAA waiver only covered athletes for the 2025-2026 academic year, not baseball players this spring. (link)

+ Oregon Representative John Lively (D-7) has introduced House Bill 3694 which would conflict with the House settlement’s NIL disclosure provisions and cause potential problems over independent contract review. Among the bill’s provisions is a “clause stating that any organization with authority over intercollegiate sports cannot require an athlete to disclose the terms of an NIL deal if the contract prohibits the athlete from disclosing.” The bill “also states that while college athletes may have to disclose NIL deals to their schools, those schools must treat the information as ‘confidential’ and exempt from disclosure under public records laws.” (link)

Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger: “Big 12 presidents & ADs today reviewed bids from three finalists in the league’s pursuit of a capital partner, sources tell @YahooSports. Firms are proposing to infuse millions to schools. RedBird Capital has emerged as the leader. A decision is expected in the coming weeks.” (link); More from Dellenger: “At a function in DC tonight, Big East Commissioner Val Ackerman says that she expects some DI universities to ‘drop out’ of participating in rev-share within the year. There will be a continual ‘realignment’ of those that can support competitive rev-share and those that cannot.” (link)

“The most important thing to get across, this is definitely not a fait accompli. The recommendation to not expand the tournaments is absolutely a potential outcome here in the short-term.” That’s NCAA SVP for Basketball Dan Gavitt to CBS’ Matt Norlander on discussions around the potential expansion of March Madness. More: “It has felt like, in some cases over the last few months, there's been more reporting around, 'Well, this is a done deal, it's going to happen,' and I can assure you that's not the case. I couldn't predict as I sit here today what the outcome is going to be. [...] Expansion, even in a modest level, is complex, more complex, I think, than has been recognized and reported, because it is expensive. It's expensive because of additional team travel, per diem, game operations, but also the basketball performance funds, the units that are earned throughout the men's and women's basketball championships. [..] My thinking has evolved over the last two or three years around this topic. I would say if you asked me that question two or three years ago, I'd been a simple and quick answer of 'no.' ... I'm still not necessarily sold on whether or not it should expand, but I think there's so much that has gone on and changed in just the last couple of years and I think we have to look at not just now, we have to look at the future, and what our current membership makeup looks like.” More. (link); The second Top 16 Women’s Basketball reveal went down last night: UCLA, Texas, USC & Notre Dame were the 1s. South Carolina, UConn, LSU and NC State were the 2s. TCU, North Carolina, Duke and Tennessee were the 3s. Oklahoma, Kentucky, Kansas State and Ohio State came in as the 4s. (link)

Women’s Rowing marks the biggest increase as it will go from 20 to 68. Other notable increases include Women’s Track from 18 to 45 and Men’s Track from 12.6 to 35. Women’s Basketball and Football remain unchanged. (link)

The Citadel officially introduced new AD Art Chase yesterday at a press conference. Chase: “Returning to The Citadel for a third time wasn’t on my bingo card, but we couldn’t be more excited to be back here. This is round three, not sure that’s a record, but I’ve been offered four jobs at this institution, and I’ve taken three of them. This place means a lot to our family. The opportunity to return at a place that you already know is special is what makes this all work. It’s all about the cadet student-athletes and The Citadel’s mission to develop leadership.” Chase previously served as an assistant sports information director, then sports information director in his two prior stints in the Lowcountry.

The D1.dossier for the AD opening at Northern Arizona is ready to rock for those of you interested in leading the Lumberjacks. D1.dossiers have helped dozens of ADs win the job over the past three-plus years. Indiana State AD Nathan Christensen: “D1.dossiers were a huge asset during the education and interview process. Having high level, detailed information at your fingertips was extremely helpful. I would recommend it if anyone is going through the process, saves time and energy digging trying to find the correct information.” (link)

Tarleton State opts in for rev share. Texans AD Steve Uryasz: “Tarleton State is committed to excellence in collegiate athletics, and this is further proof of that. The future of college athletics is supporting student-athletes financially. Tarleton State has been and will continue to be student-athlete driven and committed to winning.” (link)

Octagon SVP for Global Media Rights William Mao talks about the Pac-12’s media rights negotiations and tells SBJ’s Austin Karp: “I often say in this process that we kind of have a double-edged sword situation with the Pac-12. On the one hand, you don't have to be restricted by the idea of existing packages and reserved rights that you might have to navigate in a traditional media rights deal with existing partners and such. You have a really blank slate. You get to be very creative and talk to anybody about any sort of formulation of the rights package. On the flipside, because you're not anchored around any existing packages, to get from step zero to step one and then step one to step two, to really get going on these conversations you're going to have to bring ideas to the table in terms of conversation. You're not working around an existing construct. So, that has been the nature of this conversation where we're bringing folks in and we're having conversations, more so from the perspective of not ‘These are the rights,’ but ‘What do you want? What can we do? How can we be creative? How can we stand out in a constantly involving college landscape?” (link)

Former Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines is joined by several other women student-athletes in an ad taking the NCAA to task for not complying with President Donald Trump’s executive order “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports.” The ad specifically points out that birth certificates can be amended in all but six states and in many countries to change the gender and states the NCAA’s policy still allows males on women’s teams. (link); USA Today’s Dan Wolken reacts: “Having succeeded in getting the five or so trans athletes banned from NCAA sports, they’ve moved the goalposts as I predicted. What they really want isn’t fairness – it’s the right to challenge the womanhood of every athlete they suspect of being too masculine.” (link)

Multiple states passing laws to exempt NIL earnings from income taxes could create a “prisoner’s dilemma,” according to Arkansas economics professor Jacob Bundrick, who tells Front Office Sports’ Amanda Christovich: “If you’re the first mover on this [policy] there might be an advantage. But if there really is an advantage, and we see that in terms of spending and enrollment, you can expect that other states will follow.” Some experts tell Christovich that offering tax incentives wouldn’t actually improve recruiting because of the disparities in state tax laws that already exist. James Moore & Co. Partner Katie Davis notes that Florida doesn’t have any state income tax while other SEC states do. Since the NIL era began in 2021, she says, there’s no evidence of a major recruiting advantage because of that tax disparity. “I think what would probably move the dial in recruiting more would be if coaches had tax professionals on retainer.” Bundrick adds that income tax specifically is supposed to draw from a broad pool of earners, and the more legislators “whittle down” those groups, the more income tax rates end up burdening the rest of the population. “Most economists would say that this is a bad tax policy.” (link)

ESPN is set to launch SC+, a new, daily SportsCenter show that will stream exclusively on Disney+ beginning March 3. SC+ will be a shorter, more streamlined offshoot of the flagship program, and Variety’s Todd Spangler reports the shows will run at least 15 minutes but will vary in length. Spangler adds: “SC+ is described as a ‘fast-paced daily update’ of top sports moments built around the SportsCenter Top 10 plays segment, featuring exclusive commentary and analysis from ESPN insiders and reporters. According to Disney, the show is designed for a more casual, entertainment-focused audience. … The goal: to upsell Disney+ subscribers to the three-way Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ bundle. ESPN+, which is available separately for $11.99/month, includes more than 30,000 live sports events annually and a library of on-demand replays and original content and studio programming.” (link)
