D1.ticker Morning Edition - Thursday, March 27, 2025

More from Virginia Tech AD Whit Babcock’s conversation with media members, during which he remarked: “I do believe the president and board understand that it’s a pretty chaotic and transformational time, Wild West, whatever you want to call it. I’m confident the board understands the need to help us more from a funding standpoint. I’m confident they know and understand the truth about our work here.” The Virginian-Pilot’s David Teel points out the “first step in that help came Tuesday, when the Board of Visitors raised each student’s athletics fee from $437 to $732 starting in 2025-26. The increase will net the department an additional $10.7M annually while still leaving the university in compliance with a state law that caps student fees at 20% of a power conference member’s athletics revenue.” Babcock calls that cap “punitive” for Virginia and Virginia Tech and believes the state legislature could provide some relief, as the Hokies are “dead last” among state DI universities in athletics fees. “I don’t know that I’ve done a good enough job saying this but very grateful for everything [the board has] done. But if there’s ever a chance to push in and change the way we’ve done things here, this is a natural point in time to do that, and I believe the student fees was the first step in that direction.” With viewership numbers now playing a role in the ACC’s revenue distribution, Teel points out that Tech has six games scheduled with Old Dominion from 2026-31, three of which are in Norfolk, that could be replaced. Babcock: “When we have an answer on that, we’ll let everybody know. … Everything’s being looked at on our football schedule.” (link)

Alabama AD Greg Byrne covers several topics with The Birmingham Lede’s Kevin Scarbinsky, including whether Men’s Basketball HC Nate Oats was contacted by Texas for its now-filled vacancy. Byrne says UT never reached out to him, adding that Longhorns AD Chris Del Conte “and I've been friends for 30+ years. I do think he's one of the ones in our industry that if he's going to want to talk to your coach, he's going to give you a call. He would do that for me just like I would do that to him. Obviously, that's a great thing to have where your coach is being mentioned for other jobs. That means he or she is doing a really good job where they are, and I would much rather have that…than having to have the tough conversation where is the right fit for your program long-term? … You only ever change coaches if you think it's the right thing for the long-term health of the program. That’s it, period.” Byrne believes the biggest factor in the SEC’s turnaround in men’s basketball has been a change in the “holistic approach to the way we support our kids and impact that makes. … Commissioner Slive brought in Mike Tranghese, the old commissioner of the Big East, who's a strong basketball guy, to help in it and Greg [Sankey] did too. And then I think because we had resources that not every league has had at the same level, we've been able to hire some really good coaches at our schools, and an elite coach – there aren't a lot of them walking around. So that's why you’ve seen us be aggressive with Nate and keep him. We were paying like a Final Four coach before he went to his first Final Four.” Full podcast. (link)

West Virginia AD Wren Baker interviewed Utah State Men’s Basketball HC Jerrod Calhoun for the Mountaineers’ vacancy before ultimately choosing North Texas HC Ross Hodge, according to The Dominion Post’s Justin Jackson, who writes: “The story behind Baker passing over Calhoun is one of a growing feud between Baker and a certain percentage of the major athletic donors at WVU. It is a rift, according to sources, that goes back to last December, when former football coach Neal Brown was fired and Rich Rodriguez was hired. The big money wanted Rodriguez and that big money eventually won out. The big money, this time, wanted Calhoun on WVU’s sideline. However you want to put it, planting a flag or drawing a line in the sand, that’s the stand Baker took this time around. And, according to sources, it could be a costly one for WVU in terms of financial support from certain boosters for NIL funding for the men’s hoops program.” One source tells Jackson: “What I can tell you is there are so many people who are just enraged over this. I’m not sure Wren fully understands the consequences behind this decision.” One explanation for Baker choosing to draw a hard line here involves Calhoun’s ties to former WVU HC Bob Huggins, whom Jackson characterizes as “at odds” with the athletic department since his resignation. A source tells Jackson that Calhoun “basically told them he had learned a lot under Huggins and had a great deal of respect for Huggins, but that he had no interest in having Huggins as part of his staff or as part of the program.” (link)

D1.ticker has completed the D1.dossier for Delaware. Hundreds of leaders have depended on D1.dossiers to help them win the AD job. 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)

Penn State AD Pat Kraft has done a “magical” job of fundraising, according to Nittany Lions Football HC James Franklin, who adds: "Having relationships that we have developed with people specifically like [West Shore Home Founder/CEO] B.J. [Werzyn] and West Shore Home goes a long way. And the fact that we have alumni that believe in what our university is doing and believe in what our athletic department is doing led by Pat Kraft and then our football program, those things are important. When you have a $700M project going on at the same time that you're trying to get a roster put together with NIL, there could be some challenges of where that fundraising goes.” Franklin didn’t discuss how Penn State is planning to distribute revenue among teams but noted the challenging part is “having to make decisions and having to move forward really before you have all of the information and all of the guidelines.” (link)

Following the dismissal of Football HC Troy Taylor, Stanford is faced with the decision of hiring a permanent coach “under suboptimal circumstances” or appointing an Interim HC for the 2025 season, and The Mercury News’ Jon Wilner submits: “There are risks associated with hiring a permanent coach this spring and with using an interim coach for the season. But appointing an interim would grant [Football GM Andrew] Luck the time to assess the industry landscape following the [House] settlement, benchmark Stanford’s resources against peers in the ACC and map a path forward. The Cardinal cannot botch the hire or make a half-hearted commitment to football. The next five years are effectively an audition for Stanford before college football’s Great Restructuring begins. Whatever the outcome — whether the SEC and Big Ten expand again or a super league arises — Stanford cannot afford to get left behind. … Firing Taylor was the first step in an essential cleanup effort that will take years and require an unprecedented institutional commitment. If Stanford whiffs on the hire, the salvage operation could be delayed indefinitely — with dire long-term consequences.” (link)

+ Louisville President Kim Schatzel has resigned, and she will be replaced by Provost Gerry Bradley. Under the terms of Schatzel’s separation, she will receive $400K plus applicable earnings on account of deferred compensation within 30 days of her resignation. She will receive an additional payment of $300K to be paid in six monthly installments starting on April 15. UL Board of Trustees Chair Diane Medley on Schatzel’s departure: “We were very pleased with how things had gone with the legislature, with some of the programs that were being initiated. As with any position, times change, the goals of Dr. Schatzel changed, our goals changed, and we were very fortunate to have had the ability to name Dr. Bradley, who had already been here, so we wouldn’t lose any momentum.” (link)

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ava Dzurenda catches up with Saint Francis student-athletes and coaches following the school’s announcement that it would transition to DIII, and track & field student-athlete Trey Baney explains: “It’s hard because there isn’t just one feeling. I’m feeling a lot of heartbreak, not just for myself but for everybody else and especially for the future of Saint Francis.” Softball HC Beth Krysiak says critical communication missteps added to the frustration: “I was just as shocked as the rest of the Red Flash community. I wish we had the opportunity to tell our student-athletes first instead of them getting an email just three minutes before our meeting. That’s the toughest part.” Former Red Flash golf student-athlete J.W. Cunningham tells Dzurenda the timing of the announcement – on the heels of the men’s basketball team’s NCAA Tournament berth – made the announcement even more difficult to accept. “I was at the game last week, and it was awesome to be there, see professors, teammates and alumni. Everyone was proud to be a Red Flash, and it was great to see the school on a national stage. But after the announcement, I felt a sense of loss.” Meanwhile, women’s water polo student-athlete Megan Marlin was among those who attended a campus forum this week and says: “We went to that forum to ask questions, but none were fully answered because so much is unknown. How do you make such an extreme decision that could plummet a university when you don’t have a concrete plan? … They say this is better for the long term, but then they can’t provide anyone with potential projections for the long term. Every business student here would tell you — you don’t make a big decision like this without a five-year projection or a business plan.” More. (link)

North Carolina’s business court refused to pause an antitrust lawsuit brought by members of the 1983 NC State Men’s Basketball national championship team who accuse the NCAA of illegally using their likenesses, ruling that the organization failed to show it would suffer a “substantial injustice” without a stay.

Through the first two rounds of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament there have been at least 52 reviews that have lasted a total of 111 minutes and 23 seconds, according to the Wall Street Journal’s Andrew Beaton and Robert O’Connell, who add: “Considering that a college basketball game is only 40 minutes of action, that’s nearly three full games’ worth of watching officials huddle, stare at a monitor and eventually announce their decision. … In just five years, the average length of regular-season, power-conference games has increased by nearly five minutes, according to college basketball statistician Ken Pomeroy. Now, games that used to last under two hours are checking in at over 2 hours and 4 minutes.” (link)

Duke is displeased with the use of its official merchandise on HBO’s The White Lotus, and VP for Communications, Marketing, and Public Affairs Frank Tramble says the show “not only uses our brand without permission, but in our view uses it on imagery that is troubling, does not reflect our values or who we are, and simply goes too far. Suicide is the second-leading cause of death on college campuses. As imagery from the show is being shared widely across social media, we are using our brand to promote mental health awareness and remind people that help is available. … Duke appreciates artistic expression and creative storytelling, but characters prominently wearing apparel bearing Duke’s federally registered trademarks creates confusion and mistakenly suggests an endorsement or affiliation where none exists.” (link)

D1.ticker Evening Standard - Wednesday, March 26, 2025

Conversations continue regarding the ability of schools without football teams to pay more in rev-share for their basketball programs, and Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger notes the “spending issue looms as a serious enough threat that it has emerged as a critical discussion point and agenda item within power league administrative meetings in the SEC, Big Ten, ACC and Big 12 — something SEC commissioner Greg Sankey and other high-ranking officials acknowledged this month in interviews with Yahoo Sports.” Sankey tells Dellenger: “People have raised the issue with me and they are raising it more frequently right now. It’s something we are having conversations about at every meeting. I’m confident in our schools’ ability to compete, but it does raise a set of questions.” Based on the numbers that have been floating around, Power 4 teams will have $2-4M allocated for men’s basketball, and Houston AD Eddie Nuñez notes: “Big East schools next year can pay $6M or more to their basketball team, and that’s a game-changer.” Kansas State AD Gene Taylor adds: “I know our coaches are worried. They’ve openly talked about it. That’s where the rumors start to fly about circumventing the cap. Are we going to go back under the table again?” Even blue blood men’s hoops programs like Kentucky, North Carolina or Kansas will likely place a heavy emphasis on football, and Jayhawks AD Travis Goff says: “At a place where football matters, we can’t justify $7-9M to be shared with basketball.” Meanwhile, Missouri Valley Commissioner Jeff Jackson doesn’t exactly feel sorry for P4 teams’ predicament: “I don’t have a whole lot of empathy for the A4’s financial concerns. Welcome to our world.” (link)

CBS’ Matt Norlander: “What Ross writes has been discussed for a year+ by ADs + commissioners. Big East stands to benefit as a result of the House settlement. Its programs will be well-equipped vs. other high-majors playing second-fiddle in football-first leagues. Ain't no fun when the rabbit got the gun.” CBS’ Gary Parrish adds: PREDICTION: There is NO WAY the SEC and Big Ten will ever let the Big East outspend them in basketball. If that becomes a reality, it won't be for long. If they have to change the rules again, or just break them, they will. But they'll never operate from a disadvantaged place.” (link)

Virginia Tech AD Whit Babcock tells Tech Sideline’s Andy Bitter the Hokies will likely distribute revenue among sports as follows: 75% football, 15% men’s basketball, 5% women’s basketball and 5% for Olympic sports. Babcock also says the Hokies underestimated the men’s basketball NIL market this year, noting Clemson was about 70% higher on NIL than Tech; however, the perception that NIL money was diverted from basketball to football last year, Babcock insists, is false: “No. That’s what you get for reading social media.” The football program needs to see noticeable improvement this season, and Babcock explains what that means: “I think you’ll know it and I’ll know it. We watch the same games. It is not an ultimatum of this many victories. Everybody and their brother knows that we underachieved last year and we certainly need to turn that around." For this year’s spring game, the Hokies don’t plan to broadcast an 11-on-11 scrimmage and instead will put together clips and interviews from the game in-house in collaboration with the ACC Network. Babcock also says the school is working to extend its partnership with Nike by five years. Though Babcock didn’t give financial details, Bitter notes: “Don’t expect it to break the bank. That market has changed in recent years, with less competition. Metallica will visit Lane Stadium in May, and Babcock anticipates the concert will bring in around $1M. Asked about his own job security, Babcock tells Bitter: “In Year 12, it’s not a real good situation to underachieve in football and men’s basketball in the same year. So that wasn’t good enough. I’m where the buck stops and it weighs very heavily on me to make sure that changes." (link)

Extra Points publisher Matt Brown sheds some light on Saint Francis’ decision to move from DI to DIII and points out that both the NEC and DI landscape have changed over the years. “You don’t typically think of the NEC as some sprawling league like the Big 12, Big Ten or AAC. But over the last few years, a few schools within an easy drive, like Mount Saint Mary’s, have left the league for other conferences. New additions, like Stonehill and Chicago State, extend the league’s footprint and force Saint Francis into multiple long bus rides for conference play.” VP for Communications and Marketing Erin McCloskey tells Brown that it’s “tough to be a student when you’re getting home from a bus trip at 4 AM and then have to go to class that morning.” McCloskey also explains that “ultimately, we wanted to make sure that we [the university] were in a position to decide how we want to approach college athletics, and not have outside forces dictate that decision for us.” Brown adds that “McCloskey told me that the school feels it is very important to articulate that athletics is still going to be an important part of the school’s identity, and that the reclassification decision should not be seen as a retreat from college sports in general.” McCloskey: “We want to offer a premier DIII experience. We’re planning on competing for championships.” (link)

Marist will opt into revenue-sharing under the terms of the House settlement, but Red Foxes AD Tim Murray says the university has “flexibility” to change that decision in the event that something unforeseen happens. Murray expects there will be no issues with the roster limits, noting that rosters will comply with the regulations by “natural attrition” from graduating athletes, the transfer portal and other factors. Currently, Murray adds, “most” rosters are already under the maximum. (link)

Grambling State has partnered with College Sports Solutions to conduct a comprehensive operational review of its athletics program. Tigers AD Trayvean Scott: "This is about elevating every aspect of the student-athlete experience while ensuring the long-term sustainability of our programs. CSS understands the landscape of HBCU athletics and the competitive demands of today's college sports environment. Their insights will be invaluable as we strive to build a model athletics program grounded in integrity, innovation, and impact." (link)

Miami (OH) inks a four-year, $2.64M partnership to become the “official university and education partner” of the Cincinnati Bengals. The agreement will “provide Miami students with exclusive opportunities with the team” and will “offer Miami marketing opportunities,” including being featured on the Bengals’ website and app, and in Paycor Stadium “through sideline LED corner signage, red zone partnership and on more than 1,600 TVs throughout the stadium. Miami will be able to “use Paycor for university events,” though specifics on event types have yet to be specified. The Bengals “agreed to provide the Who Dey mascot, two Ben-Gal cheerleaders, field access and a stadium tour during limited VIP events with Miami,” and it’s “possible” the stadium could “continue as the home of the University of Cincinnati-Miami Victory Bell football rivalry if it extends beyond the next scheduled game in 2026. (link)

Syracuse Football HC Fran Brown expects the NCAA to decide by the end of the week whether the Orange can play a spring scrimmage against Colorado. “We should get some news back in the next two days. This will be great for college football. We need this. Just think, when we get to play Colorado – because I’m saying ‘we,’ I’m trying to speak ahead – it’ll be a packed stadium. We’ll get a chance to compete. Now we’re not going to do a full game, all those things like that, but we’re going to treat it just like a regular scrimmage would normally be. And then me and [Buffs HC Deion Sanders] are just going to help each other, get our teams better so we can go out and compete. But it’s good for the fans, it’s good for college football. … It also allows us to go through a couple of our financial literacy courses that we have set up with Coach Prime and myself. It gives us an academic day where we’ll get guys to have the opportunity to learn different study habits. We get both staffs to be able to sit in there and learn from each other, to be able to take the best skills, the best details and all of the best coaching habits that we can get to.” (link)

Oklahoma State Football HC Mike Gundy suggests reviving the Bedlam series with Oklahoma in the form of a spring game: “Honestly, for us, we should do a home and home with OU in the spring. … They should come here on the 19th. I think theirs is earlier in the year. We should go down there and play a home-and-home against each other in the spring. Charge $25 a head, they can use it for NIL, we can use it for NIL. If they don’t want to do two in one spring, we can do one here this year, do it there next year, and split the gate. Because we get tired of practicing against each other.” Gundy adds that “it’s not going to be a live game. I don’t know what Coach [Brent] Venables would say, but I would be concerned with making it live just because of injury. But nobody really has live scrimmages anymore, so you make it a full thud, like we’re doing, and practice against each other. Just like in the NFL.” (link)

On top of requesting approval for an amendment diverting $25M of “estimated cost savings” for additional upgrades to Doak Campbell Stadium, Florida State is asking the Board of Governors to approve a $12M loan for a new women’s lacrosse stadium. The FSU Board of Trustees in November approved the $12M loan, which would come from the university's administrative auxiliary reserve account. That account currently has a $53M balance. (link)

The Players Era Festival intends to expand to 32 teams in 2026, and CBS’ Matt Norlander explains: “Details are still ongoing and far from finalized, but broadly speaking, here is how it would work, according to sources: In 2026, the PEF would take place over multiple weeks in the first month of the 2026-27 season, with group-stage play (a la FIFA World Cup format) probably staged in multiple cities, not just Las Vegas. After teams play in group-stage competition, the event would become a premier four-bracket concept held in Las Vegas. The idea is to bookend the college basketball season with two major events: March Madness at the end and ‘November madness’ in the beginning. … Sources said that a number of spots for the 2026 tournament will be held off and saved until the spring of 2026, in an effort to build out a 32-team event with huge brands but also teams with rosters expected to be of top-25 quality for that season.” (link)
