President Donald Trump announced a sweeping series of tariffs Wednesday that starts with a baseline 10% across-the-board levy on all imports, effective April 5. Certain nations will be hit with what Trump called a “discounted reciprocal tariff.” The higher rates are for nations the White House considers bad actors on trade. For example, duties will be 24% on Japan and 20% on the European Union, effective April 9. A new 34% tariff on China will add to previous duties, like the 20% tariff Trump imposed over fentanyl. The base tariff rate on Chinese imports will be 54%, before adding tariffs imposed during Joe Biden’s presidency or Trump’s first term. Beijing said it would take measures in response to the new tariffs. Canada and Mexico are excluded from the reciprocal tariff measure, although they are still subject to plans to impose 25% tariffs on most imports to the U.S. for what Trump says is their role in fueling the fentanyl crisis and illegal immigration. Additionally, a 25% tariff on all foreign-made autos is in effect as of midnight this morning. (link); The tariffs also include a 46% tax on Vietnam, where several brands, including Nike and Adidas, manufacture goods. Sportico’s Eben Novy-Williams reports that factories in Vietnam manufactured 50% of all Nike Brand footwear in FY24, “by far its largest market. Factories in Vietnam also manufactured 28% of all Nike Brand apparel, also its largest market. … Indonesian factories accounted for 27% of Nike footwear in 2024, according to the filing, which put it in front of China and behind Vietnam. Trump’s announcement included a 32% tariff on Indonesian goods. The third most important country for manufacturing Nike clothing was Cambodia, at 15% of the company’s apparel. The Cambodian tariff rate of 49% was the highest of any rate announced Wednesday.” (link); Full list of the countries impacted and to what extent. (link); Full Trump executive order. (link); In response to the tariffs and retaliatory tariffs from China, the S&P 500 saw its worst day since March 2020, down 5.97% today after falling 4.84% yesterday. The Dow Jones dropped 5.5% today and posted back-to-back 1,500+ point drops for the first time ever. (link)

Johnson v. NCAA plaintiff’s attorney Paul MacDonald talks with The Athletic’s Seth Emerson about why he believes student-athletes should be designated as employees and submits that “rules set at the athletic department and coach levels seem to be trending stricter and more extensive in anticipation of revenue-sharing under the House settlement.” Employment law attorney Marc Edelman adds that on one hand, it is “pretty foolish” for coaches to implement overly strict rules” on a number of grounds, including the fact it only strengthens the argument that the individuals on the football team operate under the constraints of the coach. This is a constraint that no other students at the university would operate under. On the other hand, it’s only one more over-reaching step that’s not likely to put the college athletes over the goal line for proving control. That goal line had been met a long time ago.” Emerson notes that one argument schools will make is that “by attending any school, athletes subject themselves to personal conduct and honor codes. So the coaches putting in rules by themselves are employee-defining, according to Josh Nadreau, an employment lawyer in Massachusetts.” Nadreau, who is advising some athletic departments, including one in the ACC and another in the Big East, explains: “When I’m advising folks, I’d say focus on the level and things that you need to control to make your team successful and less on sort of other things that people who don’t have the same interest as you will use as a factor to try to put another coin on the side of scale on employment.” As far as the House settlement’s impact on student-athlete employment, Nadreau submits: “These issues are long from over. In some circles, I think there’s thought that the House settlement will be a reset point. I don’t think so.” (link)

The Little East signs a seven-figure, five-year deal with FloSports starting in 2025-26. Commissioner Albert Bean: “This agreement will greatly enhance the visibility of the Little East Conference, assist us in telling the truly great stories and achievements of our student-athletes and team, and provide access to an international platform for those who choose to subscribe. Working with our conference members and FloSports, we look forward to delivering outstanding live video streaming and value added extras, which includes our content being available alongside other prominent NCAA Division I, II and III conferences.” (link)

FloSports closed a Series D funding round led by Dream Sports, which joins existing investors Causeway Media Partners LP, Warner Bros. Discovery, DCM Ventures, Bertelsmann Digital Media Investments and Fertitta Capital. The funding round brings total funding raised by FloSports to more than $100M to date. The investment “will be used to fuel FloSports’ growth through content acquisitions that will expand the company’s sports portfolio. It will also be allocated toward efforts that elevate the customers’ product experience, scale production and streaming capabilities, and increase the company’s distribution efforts to reach wider audiences.” SportsPro CEO Nick Meacham: “If you don’t know Dream Sports, it’s time to start paying attention. They’re one of India’s biggest digital sports giants, with a portfolio that includes: Dream11 – 230M+ fantasy sports users; FanCode – 150M+ registered users on their digital sports platform; gaming, travel, experiences & even a cricket player trading platform. With their investment in a U.S.-based sports media company, it raises a big question: Are we about to see a wave of Indian capital flowing into Western sports media? Or is this just a one off? So what will Flosports invest in with this new injection of capital? They've set their sights on a greater level of investment in rights, content technology and distribution in a move that will likely allow them to keep up with the fast changing landscape that is global sports media.” (link, link)
