D1.ticker Evening Standard - Tuesday, March 4, 2025

The ACC, Florida State and Clemson have settled their legal dispute after agreeing to change the league's revenue distribution model and significantly reduce exit penalties for members wanting to leave the conference before 2036. According to ESPN’s Andrea Adelson, the “grant of rights remains in place through 2036, but beginning next year, the exit fee will be $165M. That fee then declines by $18M per year, leveling at $75M in 2030-31. Any team that pays the exit fee can leave with its media rights intact.” Clemson AD Graham Neff: "The ACC is an excellent fit for Clemson. The academic prestige and reputation we so emphasize here at Clemson is a natural fit with other members of the ACC. The historic football success the league has had and that Clemson has had in the ACC and access to the College Football Playoff currently – this is a great home for Clemson." Florida State AD Michael Alford adds: "We started this path on what was best for not only FSU but for the conference and this really incentivizes everyone in our conference to have the opportunity to go out and choose a path. That's all we ever asked for, was for the opportunity for us to compete nationally amongst our peers, and it's also going to make the league better." ESPN’s David Hale reports the “brand distribution will be based on a weighted five-year average of ratings as a % of total ACC viewership, with a more heavy value put on more recent years.” (link, link); Commissioner Jim Phillips says the “new structure demonstrates the ACC embracing innovation and further incentivizing our membership based on competition and viewership results. The settlements, coupled with the ACC’s continued partnership with ESPN, allow us to focus on our collective future." Clemson projects the new ACC rev-share model would give the school the opportunity to make an additional $120M over the next 6 years.(link)

Sportico’s Daniel Libit notes that “from the start, Democratic subcommittee members quickly seized on the opportunity to draw parallels between the debate over [NIL] and President Trump’s recent efforts to limit [NIH] funding to universities. Congressman Frank Pallone (D-NJ) remarked: “Today, If we truly want to address the real crisis affecting our colleges and universities, we should focus on the financial disaster they face, exacerbated by President Trump and his complicit Republican Congress.” Libit further contextualizes the hearing by noting it comes on the heels of last week’s confrontation between Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky and the administration’s imposition of 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico. “In this tense environment, the hearing itself reiterated the deep divisions within Congress on how to address college sports reform. As has become common over the past year, subcommittee Democrats emphasized athlete rights—which include employee protections—while Republicans focused on restoring stability to the system.” Congressman Rep. Jay Obernolte (R-CA) “set an ambitious precedent for forthcoming bills,” per Libit, who quotes Obernolte as saying: “We have an opportunity to create a system where everybody wins. Let’s not mess it up.” Libit subsequently posits: “One way for Congress to avoid that fate is to uphold its long-standing tradition of holding NIL hearings without enacting actual legislation. And, true to form, as Tuesday’s hearing drew to a close, a House Judiciary subcommittee unveiled plans to convene a second college sports panel next week.” (link) 

CBS’ Dennis Dodd shares more takeaways from the hearing, including Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger asking how student-athletes’ fair market NIL value should be determined. When no one answered, Harshbarger remarked: “I know you’re speechless.” Dodd points out Illinois AD Josh Whitman did answer. While Harshbarger and Representative Lori Trahan (D-MA) were well-informed, Dodd notes several other lawmakers were not and subsequently observed: “Just a thought, I wonder how many of this Commerce Committee know Josh Whitman is chair of the NCAA Council. … Amid the rooting (‘Go Gators!’ ‘Go Dawgs!’) and the uninformed (Actual Congressman: ‘Is there a plan to share the revenue?’) I didn't hear the words ‘collective bargaining’ once today in this NIL hearing. With all due respect to the witnesses who shared their time, I'd like to see one of these committees invite an All-American at a P4 school player making $2M a year. And an NIL marketing agent. And an attorney in the trenches like Darren Heitner.” Dodd also writes: “This recently from a stakeholder in the NIL debate. ‘Whoever their [schools, conferences, NCAA] lobbyists are have no friggin’ idea what they’re doing … They’re not talking about the things that worry Congress. They’re talking about the things that worry them.’” Overall, Dodd sums up: “If I had a conclusion on NIL hearing No. 11, it would be the same conclusion I had after NIL hearings Nos. 1-10: The NCAA isn't getting an anti-trust exemption.” (link)

Little Rock is opting into the House settlement. (link); Minnesota Duluth will also opt into the House settlement. As for what that means and whether UMD will add roster spots in hockey and pay student-athletes, Bulldogs AD Forrest Karr says: “Our hope is to keep moving our programs forward. We intend to keep both programs in the position to be nationally competitive. Each decision that we make moving forward, whatever the rules end up being, each decision that we make will be informed by changes being made at other WCHA and NCHC programs. It will depend, at least in part, on donor support. We’re going to be working with donors to help support these changes. … We want to make sure we fully understand what the landscape looks like. Our intent will be to keep both the programs nationally competitive. It’s going to be an interesting few months, but our overall intent is to make sure that our hockey programs are strong, and we’re going to work with our donors to do that.” (link)

The College Football Playoff Management Committee has appointed Baylor AD Mack Rhoades as selection committee chair for 2025. Additionally, the selection committee is adding former Michigan State Football HC Mark Dantonio, Maryland AD Damon Evans, longtime sportswriter Ivan Maisel, Middle Tennessee State AD Chris Massaro and former Ole MIss All-American tight end Wesley Walls. The management committee has also asked longtime USA Today writer/former selection committee member Steve Wieberg to return. (link)

Utah has received a $14M estate gift from an anonymous donor to create an endowment that will significantly benefit key initiatives for women's athletics in perpetuity. This marks the second significant estate gift for Utah’s women's sports. Paired with the $6M planned gift from Harriet and Leo Hopf, the total now reaches $20M pledged to support future generations of female student-athletes. That total has “created the impetus for the launch of the Crimson Club Legacy Society, established to build long-term sustainable excellence for the University of Utah. The Crimson Club Legacy Society honors individuals and families who contribute to the development of such excellence by leaving the ultimate legacy for University of Utah student-athletes, coaches and athletic programs through charitable estate gifts.” (link)

Nevada finished FY24 with $53.3M in revenue and $53.9M in expenses, resulting in a deficit of nearly $600K, according to Nevada SportsNet’s Chris Murray, who notes the shortfall pales in comparison to UNLV’s, which “is expected to report to the Board of Regents this week a $20.891M deficit in 2024. The Rebels’ annual fiscal year report included revenue of $50,796,087 against expenses of $71,687,510. … UNLV began the year with a $6,023,848 self-reported deficit from the previous fiscal year, building a two-year deficit of almost $27M.” Murray goes on to report that “one of the biggest reasons for Nevada's 2024 deficit was mandatory cost-of-living increases instituted by the Nevada System of Higher Education. Those COLAs included a 14% and 11% raise for university's employees making less than $200K. That led to increased expenses for the Wolf Pack that were not matched by increased revenue after Nevada turned a small profit in fiscal year 2023 ($23,344). Wolf Pack AD Stephanie Rempe identifies ticket sales as the biggest area for potential growth. "The hardest part is that all of our premium spaces in football are sold out and we don't have premium spaces in Lawlor (Events Center). Another area is philanthropy, which is why we have a full staff that are now fundraisers. Sponsorship. We were $110K away from hitting rev-share this year (through Learfield). So, that's a huge positive.” Also of note from Murray: “Of Nevada's $53.917M budget, 46.5% was provided by state, student and university fees (a total $25.051).” Lots more. (link)

Arizona’s new eight-year apparel deal with Nike has a total value of $44M, an average of $5.5M per year, according to the Arizona Daily Star’s Michael Lev, who notes the Wildcats’ current Nike deal is worth $2.3M per year. Lev also reports that “in recent years, the athletic department’s apparel expenditures exceeded its allotment from Nike by as much as $2.5M in a given year. That money had to come out of the department’s budget. Under the new contract, that money can be spent on revenue-sharing and/or other operational costs.” (link)

Karp also points out the “arrival of several West Coast schools led to a 31% uptick in WBB viewership in the Pacific Time Zone.” (link)

Penn Entertainment CEO Jay Snowden admitted during last week’s earnings call that “when we announced our partnership with ESPN [to create ESPN Bet] in the summer of ‘23, both sides of this partnership made it very clear that we expected to compete for a seat at the podium. And we’re not on pace right now to do that. So, I would just say that, our expectations as we’re moving through 2025 are that we’re continuing to show improvements in both the sports betting business, of course, and the online gaming business as well. And if we’re not hitting the levels that we expect to as we move through the year and you approach the end of the calendar year, then you’ve got levers operationally. … Of course, as you get into 2026, you hit the third anniversary of our relationship with ESPN. And both sides expect to be in a really good place. I mean, we are heads down, laser-focused. We have tremendous plans in place for 2025 and 2026. But if for whatever reason we’re not hitting the levels that we need to, then obviously as you’re approaching that third anniversary, you have a three-year clause in the contract that both sides will have to do what’s in their best interests.” It was also revealed on the earnings call that less than 0.1% of ESPN app users have linked an ESPN Bet account.

The plaintiffs in the House case made several filings with the court yesterday, according to Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger, who notes yesterday was the deadline for motions for the final settlement and for responses to the objections. Dellenger also notes the defendants are expected to make similar filings as well. (link); According to Sportico’s Michael McCann, the parties filed a motion for final approval which argues that the response by class members to the settlement “has been overwhelmingly positive.” The motion states that out of nearly 390K class members, only 3,433 class members (about 0.88%) opted out and only 73 (about 0.019%) filed objections. The motion further maintains the objections largely reflect a “misunderstanding of the settlement’s terms” and stresses the settlement does not provide the NCAA or its members with antitrust immunity. McCann also explains U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken will consider the objections, but “antitrust class action settlements are usually approved. The motion filed Monday addresses these arguments by maintaining they are off base. For instance, with respect to roster limits, the motion suggests that relatively few athletes will lose positions versus alleged ‘enormous benefits of the settlement’ for the class as a whole.” Per the motion: “The move to roster limits was part of the overall settlement compromise, and any negative effects are dwarfed by the extraordinary benefits provided by the settlement to the Settlement Classes as a whole.” McCann adds: “As to objections regarding Title IX and employment law, the motion stresses that the settlement does not extinguish those (and other) claims. To that point, Wilken might reason that objections that rely on other areas of law or that raise the possibility of subsequent litigation fall outside the focus of her review.” More. (link)

SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey indicated on The Paul Finebaum Show that he’s in favor of a nine-game conference slate as long as it makes sense within the broader context of the College Football Playoff. “One of the issues in the room for our athletics directors is what seemed to matter most, is the number to the right, the number of losses. And how do we understand what that means for our schedule moving forward? I’m one who said I really think we ought to be trying to move towards a nine-game conference schedule. I think that can be positive for a lot of reasons. You watch the interest around conference games. But not if that causes us to lose opportunities. … We have to recognize the CFP selection process is an important governing factor, or decision making factor, that contributes to the eventual outcomes of whether it’s non conference games or whether it’s the number of games played within conferences.” Sankey also confirmed ADs have discussed what he calls “allocations” rather than guaranteed CFP bids, adding: “They’ve also talked about ideas of evaluating strength of schedule and trying to better understand how that analysis is made. How can we better understand how the CFP selection committee makes its decisions? That’s really not a specific judgment; it does need to inform our decision-making. … We had athletic directors express opinions, and I respect their right to do so. When those became very much the focus, I think we should probably slow down a little bit in jumping to conclusions because there’s a lot of work to do in a short period of time, whether it be our scheduling decisions or discussions about the future College Football Playoff.” (link, link)

Alabama AD Greg Byrne believes “there's a way to get to nine” conference games, adding: “We'll see if it makes sense for the conference as a whole. We're one vote in there. But, again, we've scheduled as though we were playing off playing eight conference games." Byrne says when it comes to College Football Playoff expansion he doesn’t have a “strong opinion right now. I think the expansion to 12 was good for opportunities. And, you know, it gives fan bases hope. I also said this publicly — I know one of the main parameters when the CFP was formed with strength of schedule, and I still think that that's something we need to pay attention to. I've seen some schools come out and say, 'Well, it doesn't make any sense to schedule good non-conference games.' Well, it's not good for college football. It's not good for the fan bases. It's not good for the young men on the teams. We all know here in Alabama, there's a lot of excitement when it comes to some of those games and I think that's good for the health of the game of college football. But at the same time, too, that needs to be recognized and not have it be two vs. three losses, one vs. two losses, whatever that looks like as the deciding factor. Not all schedules are created the same.” (link)

Davidson AD Chris Clunie joins Connect’s Bryan Fischer from the 2025 NCAA Convention to share his perspective on the changes to college athletics, positioning his department in a period of flux, collaborating with fellow conference members and his viewpoint on revenue-sharing. Regarding the uncertainty, Clunie explains it’s important to adhere to core principles. “It’s the ability to say, ‘All right, here are non-negotiables and here are things that are flexible.’ The settlement comes into play and we want to opt in. We want to be able to step into revenue-sharing specifically around men's and women's basketball. That’s important for us, especially being in a basketball-centric conference with the Atlantic 10. And then the other piece is how do you also continue to make strides in Olympic sports and all of your other programs? We don't want to take a step back. We see it as an opportunity even in a challenging era to move forward.” Clunie is in favor of expanding March Madness, explaining that “because of the inequity that schedules and the transfer portal with NIL has caused, the ability to expand the tournament and provide more access – that's the biggest piece. Provide more access for teams I think is the biggest piece, and I think if you run the models you can do it in a way which is not too cumbersome for the NCAA.” Full conversation on Connect. (link)

Nevada will opt into the House settlement, according to Wolf Pack AD Stephanie Rempe, who explains: "The financial implications are enormous, and the burden is heavy, but these are new realities that we must accept and view as opportunities if we want Nevada Athletics to remain relevant in tomorrow’s college athletics landscape. The mission for Nevada Athletics is simple – compete at the highest level athletically without compromising our academic mandate to graduate our student athletes and prepare them for life after college."

Virginia AD Carla Williams and Duke AD Nina King participated in a Black History Month roundtable discussion with Fiesta Sports Foundation CEO Erik Moses, and Williams explained she never set out to be a pioneer, “but now that I’ve been doing it, yes, let’s go. I’m so glad I’m in this position and have this opportunity and appreciate the significance of being a pioneer. I think it’s helped me professionally, but also personally, and has given me the opportunity to teach my children about the importance of being allies and championing women in spaces and people of color.” King noted that “once you do get in the chair, then it becomes a very lonely space really quickly. And finding who you can rely on, who you can count on, who you can confide in, is really a challenge at the beginning. And so thankfully, I had Carla and [Vanderbilt AD] Candice [Lee] right away, once I did take that step, but really kind of figuring out who that personal network is, was something that I had to quickly do once I got into the chair.” Both women emphasized the importance of obtaining a PhD or JD with Williams explaining: “I felt like I needed to check every single possible box to take that off the table for not being considered for the job.” King added: “We’re overqualifying ourselves for positions so that we don’t give people the choice, which unfortunately we’re watching lots of others get hired for the same jobs that are underqualified or we have way more experience and qualifications than they do.” (link)

SBJ’s Ben Portnoy catches up with several Football GMs to discuss what the role actually entails, and Alabama GM Courtney Morgan explains that if “you look at Tennessee, you look at Florida, you look at all the SEC schools, we all have nice weight rooms. We all have big facilities. We’ve all got crazy fan bases. The only thing that separates you are the people in your building, because consumers buy from who all they like. Kids choose schools by the feeling that you give them when they come into your building. It’s the same way when I was in sales. When you walk out of an office, what feeling did you give that customer?” Stanford GM Andrew Luck adds: “I feel a little bit like a traveling preacher — proselytizing and evangelizing about Stanford football. Folks have counted us out. Had we been humming along and rolling, I’m not in this job. I understand that.” As far as who’s making staff decisions, Luck notes that remains the head coach’s call, “but it does have my stamp on it, if you will. I co-sign things, and I view it as my job to ask, hopefully, questions that are relevant to the process and think about the structure of things. But, to me, the head coach absolutely needs full agency and empowerment over his staff. … I was curious how Coach Taylor would take this, because there’s a lot of responsibility taken off of his plate — and he was thrilled.” Meanwhile, MB Sports Consulting Founder Matt Banker tells Portnoy: “It’s sort of like a trendy title, but schools that have understood things about how [college sports are] going to work are positioning the right people to do those roles, and not just keeping up with the Joneses to hire someone just to say you have a general manager. And I guarantee you, once a couple schools were announcing that they’ve got GMs even a year ago or so, the first things that were happening were head coaches calling their AD [to say], ‘We need one of these.’” (link)

With Georgia baseball student-athlete Dylan Goldstein requesting that U.S. District Judge Tilman “Tripp” E. Self III be removed from the case due to his work as a college football referee, Sportico’s Daniel Libit chronicles the myriad instances where sports has collided with the federal bench. Libit points out that “a 2018 study, published in American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, analyzed Louisiana’s juvenile court decisions between 1996 and 2012 and determined that judges tended toward issuing harsher sentences when ruling in the immediate aftermath of their home state’s college football team losing. In 2022, researchers from Troy University and South Carolina’s College Sports Research Institute analyzed 174 judges who ruled in cases involving the NCAA between 1973 and 2020. The NCAA prevailed in 63% of these rulings. Furthermore, CSRI determined, judges that were born in Southeastern Conference states were 43% more likely to rule in favor of the NCAA than those born outside the SEC’s footprint.” Meanwhile, in just this past year, U.S. District Judge David Orson Carter, who lettered in track & field at UCLA, ruled to enjoin UCLA from accessing the baseball facilities until the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs could come up with a plan for the 10-acre tract “such that the provisions of services to veterans is the predominant focus of the activities.” A month later, Carter agreed to allow UCLA temporary access to the stadium through the 2025 college baseball season after it agreed to pay the VA $600K for a temporary lease.

Texas Tech plans to acquire the property on which the new Donald Womble Football Center sits from the Red Raider Facilities Foundation and structure a payment plan of more than $200M over 30 years, according to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal’s Don Williams. Red Raiders Deputy AD Jonathan Botros: "Some of that, of course, will be repaid by gifts that continue to come in from pledges, so if somebody did a five-year pledge or a three-year pledge and they started it last year, their initial pledge payments would have gone to Red Raider Facilities Foundation, but once Texas Tech purchases the property back, the remaining pledge payments will go to Texas Tech and we'll use that to pay back commercial paper." Williams notes the total of gifts and pledges now stands at nearly $116M, and Tech plans to pay off the difference via a “combination of philanthropic gifts, financing, game-day premium revenue generated by the south end zone and operating revenue on the annual budget.” Botros says the “transfer of ownership would be somewhere around the end of March, beginning of April."
