NCAA lead counsel Rakesh Kilaru and House plaintiffs’ attorney Jeffrey Kessler join Tulane Sports Law Director Gabe Feldman to discuss the House settlement. Feldman asks how the settlement will prevent future lawsuits from student-athletes or collectives who argue the collectives should be allowed to pay athletes whatever they want and notes that in professional sports such lawsuits are forestalled by the nonstatutory labor exemption via collective bargaining. Kilaru responds: “I think if you look at the revenues that are being shared, the opportunities for legitimate third-party NIL transactions, I think the hope is that we've created something that's not going to incentivize a bunch of folks to come in and say the system isn't working. I think we wanted to create a system that does work.” Kilaru also submits that “one of the features of the settlement, part of that 10-year term, part of being able to say, ‘Hey, for the next 10 years we're going to have these rules be binding on student-athletes’ is giving them the opportunity to speak up. … Every year when new students enroll, they’ll get a notice that there’s this injunction…that lays out the following terms. And they’ll have the opportunity to come in and say to the judge, ‘I know you approved that before, but it’s not working for me.’” Ultimately, though, Kilaru admits that the “only way to really end those collateral attacks is for there to be some kind of congressional legislation.” Kessler adds that to successfully argue the cap should be higher, plaintiffs would have to prove the “competitive market here would generate more than 51% [of revenues to be shared with student-athletes when scholarships, health care and other benefits are factored in]. So, that’s not going to be so easy to do.” Overall, Kessler believes the deal is reasonable enough itself to discourage most cases. Kilaru goes on to minimize the concerns about players losing roster spots or sports being cut by pointing out that of the ~390K student-athletes, only nine “came in and said I think I actually lost a roster spot as a result of this settlement.” Full podcast.

Swimming World’s Adam Denn chats with DII and DIII HCs about the impact their programs will see as a result of DI roster limits from the House settlement, with Nova Southeastern (DII) HC Ben Hewitt noting that the nature of conversations with prospective student-athletes has not changed. “We’ve been way busier than we normally are this time of year. The market has been flooded with kids reaching out in advance (of a potential lost roster spot).” Denison HC Gregg Parini: “We need to make sure the student-athlete fits us athletically, socially, and academically. That’s always first priority. […] The financial decision definitely can make this level a more unique fit.” On the topic of competitiveness, Denn notes 11 DII records and 10 DIII records were broken at this year’s championships. Drury (DII) HC Brian Reynolds adds: “We’ve shown swimmers can improve and develop at this level and within our program. We’ve lost great programs in Division II over these last couple of years, and yet we keep getting faster. […] There’s an opportunity for some really great competitive swimming with some great programs. I’ve seen a lot of swimmers who could be really great performers at this level, if they took the option.” (link)

Rebar, structural steel, piping and ductwork are all facing price volatility due to expected tariffs from the Trump administration, according to Skanska USA Building EVP of Project Planning Steve Stouthamer. While reports indicate the Trump could roll back the ultimate scope of this action, contractors say just the threat of tariffs can have an immediate impact on material costs, according to Construction Dive’s Sebastian Obando, and Stouthamer tells him: “Steel prices have increased 15% to 25% since the beginning of January and aluminum is also up 8% to 10% from the beginning of January. The Trump administration has indicated Canadian lumber will be included in the reciprocal tariffs which are set to take effect on April 2. Lumber has already seen a significant increase, 10% to 15% in cost, in anticipation of this tariff.” Stouthamer also explains that “at present, we are not expecting a near-term impact on project timelines. If there is a considerable shift to onshoring manufacturing, supply chain schedules could be constrained, but this is not like the situation we experienced during the pandemic where the supply chains were impacted by global shutdowns. … Projects can benefit by investing additional time into the mapping of the specified materials for the project to determine their source, if those sources are impacted by tariffs and whether alternative products and sources could mitigate financial risk.” (link)

+ Massachusetts Chancellor Javier Reyes announces the university is instituting tighter oversight on spending as it relates to salaries, capital projects and non-personnel expenditures. The school is also reducing graduate admissions in some departments and notifying some prospective graduate students that they will not be able to study in Amherst. Reyes insists these measures do not represent budget cuts or a hiring freeze, but are about using care in and limiting discretionary spending, including on travel to conferences and purchases of equipment. All non-personnel expenditures that are more than $50K will require approval from a department head, including UMass Boston AD Jacqueline Schuman and UMass Dartmouth AD Lori Hendricks. Reyes: “With more than $150M in annual federal funding now potentially uncertain, we have asked our schools and colleges to take action to ensure their graduate admissions plans are financially sustainable.” (link)
