TurnkeyZRG Chairman/CEO Len Perna tells NJ.com’s Steve Politi that “I think Rutgers is pioneering the new phase of what athletic directors will look like. And I think Rutgers is thinking about this in a really refreshing new way, and is pioneering a new profile and a new structure inside the department of athletics.” While he declined to name any specific candidates, Perna went on to say: “I don’t love the nomenclature of a traditional athletic director versus nontraditional because they’re all bespoke, they’re all different. But I do think it’s necessary for Rutgers in particular because of where they’re located in the marketplace to find an athletic director that has a really strong commercial background.” Perna goes on to explain that “I spend my whole day talking to people who are either running professional sports teams or work in professional sports leagues, and people who are directors of college athletics or presidents of universities. Those two worlds used to be very separate. Now, when I’m having those conversations, there is a lot of commonality. … You need a lot of sports administration capabilities in your department of athletics, but what you now need on top of that is the ability to resource it. And without the ability to resource it, you’re going to be behind the curve, you’re going to be left chasing, you’re going to be left wanting.” (link)

Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua and SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey were slated to play golf with President Donald Trump at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, according to Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger, who notes the “the three men are expected to spend extended time together beyond their round of golf as NCAA leaders seek Congressional and White House assistance for a federal standard to stabilize and regulate what’s become an unruly structure. Trump has grown interested in the issues, even deeply exploring the possibility of issuing an executive order and creating a commission to study the many developments — such as player movement in the transfer portal, booster-backed compensation to athletes, and the impact on women and Olympic sports. Such a meeting Sunday could trigger action from the White House, or possibly expedite Congressional negotiations over college sports legislation. Five U.S. senators — three Democrats and two Republicans — have held regular meetings over a federal college sports bill for the last several months. However, those discussions have been slowed recently by arising hurdles with bill concepts as well as global and domestic issues unrelated to college athletics.” (link)

Alabama AD Greg Byrne tells ESPN’s Dan Wetzel that "I tell our coaches and our students, 'The three most significant events in the history of college athletics are, first, the NCAA's foundation [1905], second, the adoption of Title IX [1972] and all the opportunities that were created because of it, and, third, the House settlement.’” Byrne also says he welcomes an established system to replace the "fluidness" of the past few years and is happy for student-athletes to be paid. Wetzel, meanwhile, notes that the “vast majority” of student-athletes throughout college athletics will not share in the revenue, so ADs are tasked with strategizing which sports receive what and understanding what the competitive consequences will be. Byrne: "I tell our coaches, 'We don't have a sport here at the University of Alabama just to have a sport.’ … How do you keep your department healthy long-term so you can keep offering opportunities?" Byrne said. "In the past, we tried to be all things to all people. Every coach is going to want revenue share for their athletes, and I don't blame them. But if the goal is to have as many programs as you can, you are going to have to be strategic." Wetzel subsequently observes: “No one wants to cut sports. No one wants to undercommit to certain teams. College athletic leaders got into the business to oversee more sports and more athletes in more ways, not to contract or pinch pennies. Business is business, though, and college sports just became even more about business.” (link)

Of note from Missouri AD Laird Veatch in a letter to fans concerning the House settlement: “Our commitment includes more than 60 new scholarships totaling approximately $3M for next year.” (link)

An overlooked component of the Deloitte-facilitated NIL Go clearinghouse is the role of arbitration, according to Sportico’s Michael McCann, who notes arbitration will “make it far more difficult for an athlete or a company with which the athlete seeks to sign an NIL deal to wage a successful lawsuit. The narrow means of challenging arbitration awards will likely deter attorneys who would otherwise jump at the chance to bring a lawsuit that would attract media attention. … As repeatedly seen in sports law in recent years, whether it’s when NFL coaches sue the NFL over employment disputes, when NFL agents sue one another over client recruitment or when NBA teams suing each other over trade secrets, judges who are asked to vacate arbitration awards are very reluctant to do so.” McCann adds that “some estimates find that judges vacate awards only around 10% of the time. Even when a judge vacates an arbitration award, the “winner” of that court ruling doesn’t necessarily ‘win’ the dispute. Instead, they ordinarily get another shot at arbitration – where they might lose again.” That said, McCann points to the lack of an employment relationship as a potential complicating factor if/when these situations arise. “Arbitration ordinarily arises in circumstances where the parties are in an employment or consumer relationship. … Whether distinctions in the college sports context prove to be distinctions without making a legal difference remains to be seen.” (link)

More notable House settlement perspectives & news can be found below in this morning’s third section…

Before you read the recap below from On3’s Pete Nakos, here’s Kansas AD Travis Goff’s take on the reporting: “An anonymous source tells me these anonymous quotes are hot garbage.  If we took them too seriously you would think our industry wants this new chapter to fail. The quiet majority is bullish on where we’re heading in college athletics! I, for one, will put my name to that sentiment.” (link)

On3’s Pete Nakos examines how quarterbacks will be paid in what is already being called the revenue-sharing era, and one SEC source tells him that relying on rev-share to pay for a quarterback is a dangerous game. “Obviously, if you wind up having to pay a significant portion of the salary for a quarterback out of the rev share, it’s going to crush your allocations.” Another SEC source says: “Hell no, the price for a quarterback isn’t changing. It’s the same as this spring. We’ll have rev-share and above-cap money — third-party money — nothing has really changed or will.” Nakos also notes that “throughout the weekend, sources have reached out to On3, sharing that deals are being rushed to be signed so they will not have to be put through the (Deloitte) NIL Go clearinghouse. Others are identifying ways to backdate contracts.” A Big Ten source notes: “Some Big Ten schools are going to use 50% of their payroll this year from rev-share. It’ll just be different at every school based on where the money is coming from.” From a different source: “The high school market will go way down unless someone views a kid as a Day 1 starter. The Jackson Cantwell and other commits with these stupid numbers will be interesting to follow.” (link)

Washington plans to rely on an advance payment from the Big Ten and a loan from the university’s invested funds to balance its athletics budget in FY26, according to On Montlake’s Christian Caple, who notes the Huskies did the same last year. “With more than $20M per year budgeted to pay athletes under the House v. NCAA settlement, the athletic department anticipates a cash-flow deficit of $19M for FY25 (ending June 30), with a similar deficit projected for FY26, according to documents attached to this month’s Board of Regents meeting agenda. To cover the gap, the department will again ask the regents to approve a budget that includes a $10M advance from the Big Ten against future distributions (interest free), and will again leverage the school’s capital assets pool (CAP) in order to pay debt service on the loans that funded the renovation of Husky Stadium and Husky Ballpark. The action item also will ask the regents to approve ‘institutional support from non-state and non-tuition sources for one-time capital and operating costs associated with the ongoing transition to the (Big Ten),’ as it did in FY25, as well as ‘for student-athlete health, wellness, and financial aid.’” UW projects $176M in revenue and $195M in expenses for FY25 before operating loans are factored in. The FY26 revenue projection $180M against $199M in expenses. Caple also reports the Huskies still anticipate a cost of $24.8M to construct and equip a broadcast/production studio in compliance with Big Ten standards. Of that, central campus equity is expected to cover $14.3M. UW’s football season-ticket sales increased slightly to 47,000 for the 2024 season (FY25), with another uptick to 47,500 expected for 2025 (FY26), along with a projected year-over-year increase of $1M in single-game ticket sales. (link)

Kansas is on track to be “right around budget” for FY25 after some initial projections indicated a possible shortfall of $16M, according to Jayhawks Executive Assoc. AD/CFO Pat Kaufman, who says: “Remarkably, we’re going to end up — I shouldn’t say remarkably — we’re going to end up right around budget, probably a little bit favorable of a budget this year on a net basis.” While not sharing exact figures, Kaufman said that the budget played out differently in several ways from how KU expected. For one, KU incurred greater costs than anticipated to play its home football games at Children’s Mercy Park and GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium while David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium was under construction. On the other hand, Kaufman noted that “it also generated extra revenues. We smashed our football ticket sales by over $2M. … Fans kind of liked going to Arrowhead and the team did well as well.” Also from Kaufman: “We’ve already put some steps in place to save some dollars there, from some of the things that [Jayhawks AD] Travis [Goff] has talked about throughout the year that we’ve implemented – hiring freezes and other initiatives.” Goff, meanwhile, says the Jayhawks are “on the cusp” of extending Baseball HC Dan Fitzgerald.

The Louisiana Senate has passed HB 639, which increases the tax on sports gambling to 21.5%. The bill, which now awaits Governor Jeff Landry’s signature, specifies that 25% of the tax money collected will go to a fund distributed evenly among Division I athletic departments to use for the benefit of student-athletes. (link)

The coaching carousel continues to spin with dozens & dozens of changes to coaching staffs around the nation in a number of sports. Check out this morning’s Coaches.wire for a full rundown. (link)

Starnes Davis Florie attorney Jay Ezelle offers some advice to presidents and ADs, starting with: “Understand the moment. This is a turning point for college athletics—not because revenue-sharing is starting (that’s been happening through back-door funding of collectives for years)—but because power has shifted from the NCAA to the universities. You now have the authority to fix a system that was fundamentally broken. The NCAA let the tension between high- and low-revenue programs fester, creating a bloated bureaucracy that lost sight of the core mission: to support college-athlete development athletically, academically, and personally. You now have a chance to build a better system—one that preserves what’s great about college sports, compensates athletes fairly, and enforces common-sense rules. Don’t miss it.” Ezelle also advises industry leaders to be selective about whose advice they value. “Many actors in the NIL world—even some lawyers who claim to represent universities—have financial incentives to see college athletics fail. Whether chasing clicks or funded by those who want to exploit universities' most valuable assets, they are not on your side. Following their advice only furthers their agenda. If you must listen, at least research their track records. … If their messaging sounds like a political ad pushing the ‘miracle cure’ of collective bargaining, maybe that’s because it is that—a paid PR campaign.” More.

RealResponse has launched the Athletics Integrity & Compliance Hotline platform to help universities proactively manage risk, uphold program integrity, and meet new expectations for transparency and accountability. Founder/CEO David Chadwick: “As the [College Sports Commission] era begins, universities must take clear steps to demonstrate proactive leadership on integrity and compliance. RealResponse is proud to provide the trusted platform used by professional leagues, national governing bodies, and collegiate programs to help institutions manage risk, build trust, and protect their athletes and their programs.” (link)

The Mercury News’ Jon Wilner charts the winners and losers of the House settlement, with the winners group including Ed O’Bannon, Power 4 bifurcation, U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken and, of course, billable hours. Losers include administrative bloat, the College Sports Commission, Olympic sports and fans. “Anything that increases expenses for athletic departments results in a greater burden placed on fans. Not only will direct donations be needed like never before, but constituents in the local business communities will be under pressure to provide NIL opportunities, as well.” On P4 bifurcation: “It might take several years to determine the full implications of revenue sharing, but this much is immediately obvious: Schools with the deepest pockets and greatest commitment to winning will have an advantage. And those factors are absolutely not distributed equally throughout the power conferences. By the turn of the decade, it could be clear which schools covet the creation of a super league and which schools will be content downsizing their football programs.” (link)

CBS’ Gary Parrish argues the House settlement doesn’t represent the “end of chaos” but rather: “It'll just be a different kind of chaos that leads to more legal threats and billable hours than you can wrap your mind around. Plus, high-level cheating will return. Oh, we're back baby! Illegal cash-deals are on tap.” As it relates to the settlement’s implementation, Parrish submits that the “the most obvious problem with a salary cap for entire athletic departments is that all athletic departments don't have football rosters to purchase. … Now, let's be real. Do you actually think a SEC school with millions tied up in football is going to concede a recruiting battle in basketball to a Big East program sans football because, you know, the money just isn't in the budget, according to the rules? LOL. When it comes to that, not all basketball staffs, but certainly lots, will simply do what they've always done, i.e., find a way to get the player even if it requires circumventing the rules. … Every Power Four conference features a coach who has violated one recruiting rule or another. If you think they won't do it again, if required, you're silly. And now every time a player picks a school with little known-money left in the budget over a school that's reportedly offering much more, fans on the wrong end of the commitment will assume something happened in violation of the rules and scream for an investigation. We lived that life for decades. Who really wanted that again?” (link)

USA Today’s Dan Wolken is also skeptical post-House settlement college sports will work as intended: “The reason is because pulling this off will require a complete mindset change from the way college sports have always operated, and I’m not sure the necessary foundational work has been done to make that transition. In the NFL or NBA, for instance, team owners are highly competitive but fundamentally understand that they are business partners more than competitors, driving long-term decision-making that works to everyone’s benefit. College sports has never had that mentality. Schools and conferences attempt to work together when necessary, but they ultimately see each other as adversaries to take advantage of and exert leverage on when it suits their immediate interests. It's a theme we've seen over and over again in everything from conference realignment to how they reacted to COVID in 2020 to the future structure of the College Football Playoff. They are forever probing for the smallest competitive advantage, pushing the limits of the rules and crying foul when the NCAA comes in to investigate. … Every administrator will tell you they want the enforcement arm to strictly apply the rules so that college sports doesn't slide back into the kind of chaos they have experienced the last four years. But will they still feel that way when it's applied to their own program? When it costs them a player? When it costs them wins? When it potentially costs them a job? If not, the House settlement will fall apart quickly – and take the entire structure of college sports down with it.” (link)

As you know, yesterday brought a slew of statements & articles regarding the House settlement. This morning’s D1.ticker starts with some of the most notable that included key details of feedback, allocations, budget impact & more:

Where was former Arizona State Men’s Swim student-athlete & lawsuit namesake Grant House when the House settlement was announced? Ironically he was in Indianapolis for the U.S. National Championships & tells Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde: “I was walking out of my brother Kyle’s hotel room with my family. It was actually very culminating to be wearing a Cassius Clay shirt, in Indianapolis, headquarters of the NCAA. It just felt right. It felt like the stars were aligned for that. What Cassius Clay stood for in a different time period, and a much different demographic, was advocating for what’s right and standing against what’s wrong. I believe that’s what this whole [lawsuit] cause has been for, athlete advocacy. Having the courage to take one step forward for the sake of athletes now, from a couple years past, righting the wrongs that have been for decades, and then especially for the hundreds of thousands of athletes going forward.” Forde also gets this from Louisville Swim & Dive HC Arthur Albiero: “The elephant in the room is, what are the implications for Olympic sports? My concern is that the value of Olympic sports, that scale has shifted a little bit. Producing Olympians, All-Americans, great GPAs, great citizens—where does that fit into the metrics now? It’s a dire moment.” USOPC Chief of Sport & Athlete Services/former Arizona State senior leader Rocky Harris adds: “It’s a spending problem. If you win in football, you need to invest more in it. If you lose in football, you need to invest more in it. It’s a never-ending problem.” (link)

The Athletic’s Justin Williams gathered feedback from around the industry on the House settlement including this from a power conference AD: “Right now it feels like Monopoly. We’re planning to spend to the cap, but we have to figure out how we’re getting there. If you cut a million somewhere, sure that helps, but if you cut $5 (million) or $10 million, you’re really hurting your department.” An anonymous “power conference” personnel director tells Williams: “The top (football) teams are going to cost $40-50 million a year. That’s where this is going. Anyone who thinks different is nuts.” Another anonymous personnel director: “If you tell a booster or business owner they can’t give a star player $2 million, there will be lawsuits. There’s no enforcing this. Fair market value? F— Deloitte. This is going to get even crazier.” Lots more. (link)

Kansas AD Travis Goff pushed back via social media on anonymous commentary in The Athletic piece: “I’ve never read more DRAMATIC anonymous source quotes than those used in these types of articles by coaches, player personnel folks and administrators. Cut the crap. We griped about the old world and some are throwing their hands up before we even get started in this next chapter. This settlement is strong. The plan is solid. Hope we can all do our part and give it its best chance.” (link)

UCLA AD Martin Jarmond says the Bruins will not make staff reductions in response to the House settlement, but there may be some reallocation of staff “to positions that better meet our needs in a changing landscape.” Also from the Los Angeles Times’ Ben Bolch: “Jarmond said UCLA was seeking a third-party partner to help secure so-called true NIL opportunities. Being based in Los Angeles should provide Bruins athletes with a clear advantage in securing marketing deals.” (link)

In a letter to fans, Kentucky AD Mitch Barnhart indicates the allocation of revenue share per sport will be finalized in the coming weeks, but “there will be variability from year-to-year depending on the needs of individual programs and the department as a whole.” As for how the $20.5M will be funded: “... current and new revenue streams — ticket sales, fundraising, media rights, etc. — along with reductions in spending to finance the new expenses.” (link)

Auburn AD John Cohen writes that the Tigers will add 113.8 scholarships “year-over-year” at “projected cost of $5.49M.” (link)

Cal releases some key details of how the Golden Bears are approaching revenue sharing: “Cal is committed to providing the resources necessary - with the significant support of Cal's donors and alumni - to recruit and support world-class student-athletes in this new environment. The campus is finalizing a distribution model that will be guided by the revenue currently produced by Cal's athletic programs - primarily football, men's basketball and women's basketball. UC Berkeley Chancellor Rich Lyons aims to further motivate and inspire the Cal family through a match of contributions of up to $6 million for football, up to $1.5 million for men's basketball, and up to $500,000 for women's basketball from campus resources.” (link)

From the Fresno Bee’s Robert Kuwada on Fresno State’s rev share plans: “The Bulldogs’ football program, an athletics department source who asked to be anonymous told The Bee, is looking to raise around $4 million to $5 million annually to retain and recruit players and be competitive with its peers in the Pac-12. The basketball program is trying to get to $1.5 million.” (link)

Texas State President Kelly Damphousse indicates the Bobcats will opt in. Via X: “I’m glad AD Coryell and @TxStateBobcats have been preparing for this moment over the past year. The settlement allows us to share revenue with our Bobcats. We will be very aggressive in our efforts to recruit (and retain) top-flight student-athletes to @txst as we opt-in.” (link)

Interesting read from The Chronicle of Higher Education’s Francie Diep as she wonders whether university governing boards would benefit from having fewer people from Wall Street on them and points out that “in 1989, private-equity and hedge-fund managers held 3% of board seats at the top 30 private universities as ranked by Times Higher Education. By 2017, they held 17% of trustee positions, according to a study published earlier this year in Socio-Economic Review.” Investment banker Scott L. Bok, who served on the Penn Board of Trustees for 18 years, tells Diep: “Wall Street, in many respects, is a networking business. It’s useful for somebody in the private-equity business to be on a board that has people from all kinds of different industries on it, because their business probably touches all kinds of industries and they’re looking for opportunities everywhere.” That said, Bok believes university boards would benefit from having fewer “Wall Streeters” and more trustees from other fields, who might have different ideas for dealing with crises. UC Merced sociologist Charlie Eaton, who co-wrote the Socio-Economic Review study, boils it down to this: “In the extreme, it’s a bad thing for higher education if financiers are overrepresented on university boards. You know, there’s been talk about improving viewpoint diversity in higher education, including by financiers on these boards. But if we really want to have our elite universities to reflect America more, then you want to have boards composed of people from across the different corners of society, who will set the tone for the university and support the university to take some of the steps that a lot of universities have said that they want to take — to be more accessible, more affordable, and more open to all Americans.” More from Diep.

The Mercury News’ Jon Wilner observes that “Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti, creator and purveyor of the controversial 4-4-2-2-1 [College Football Playoff] model, has yet to explain himself,” adding that “Petitti’s silence stands in contrast to his counterparts: Throughout SEC spring meetings last week, Commissioner Greg Sankey answered questions (in person and via Zoom) and took intense criticism for his positions on the CFP. The conference’s coaches and athletic directors alike added their perspective to the hottest topic in college sports. … Petitti’s silence is rapidly turning the conference into the villain — quite an accomplishment given the years-long animosity so many fans have held for the SEC and ESPN. But Sankey, a creature of college sports, understands the need to include the masses in a process as momentous as determining the format for a 16-team playoff.” That said, Wilner understands the appeal of the 4-4-2-2-1 format from the Big Ten’s perspective and goes on to write: “Petitti isn’t bound by privacy agreements with his fellow commissioners. Sankey and [Big 12 Commissioner Brett] Yormark have already talked in detail about their preferences and the sentiment on their campuses. It’s time to come clean. The College Football Playoff isn’t like antitrust settlements or conference realignment or NCAA legislation. ESPN holds the broadcast rights, and the Big Ten and SEC have format control. But it belongs to the public. An explanation of the 4-4-2-2-1 model — with all the benefits it would bring to the sport for years to come — might win the Big Ten a few converts.” (link)

Old Dominion Executive Senior Assoc. AD for Internal Operations and Student-Athlete Welfare/N4A President Ron Moses, N4A 1st VP Liz Reyes and N4A Incoming Chief of Staff Jean Boyd talk about providing academic support for student-athletes in today’s landscape, and Reyes observes: “Our industry is evolving quickly and at a pace that our existing systems cannot sustain or are not ready for. I would claim mental health and name, image and likeness (NIL) to be the two greatest sources of student-athletes' challenges. Student-athletes are growing in an era that has provided them the most autonomy they have ever had. While there are many great wins in this evolution, student-athletes are being pressured to perform…and win, are significantly more visible, are increasing their travel mileage, can relocate or transfer to another institution more frequently, [and] are receiving more of their education digitally. … Adding in NIL does provide them incredible opportunities; however, it becomes another (complex) area to manage.” Boyd points out that “professionals in the industry responsible for academic support and guidance have had to shift their strategic and tactical thought surrounding advising student-athletes. One, the idea that they are advising young adults on a four-year curriculum and the principles associated with this thought has shifted. Secondly, there has been a dramatic increase in the need to provide guidance to transfers to both upper class and graduate student-athletes. … The challenge is articulating credits in or out of institutions that may not be flexible in their desired program of study.” Moses on taking a data-informed approach to evaluating and improving academic support services: “One of the core practices we’ve implemented is the use of academic progress tracking dashboards that integrate real-time data from Teamworks, Canvas, and institutional systems to monitor performance, attendance, and risk indicators across all sports. This allows us to proactively intervene before issues escalate. … Ultimately, we’re not just collecting data—we’re using it to ask better questions, adapt faster, and make smarter decisions that support student-athlete success in a rapidly evolving landscape.” Full discussion.

Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred hopes to have a new broadcast partner to replace ESPN next month but acknowledges he regrets being in this position. “Look, we agreed to the opt-out as part of a set of compromises that got us to the deal we had. We liked the deal we had. You know, looking backwards, do I wish I wasn’t in a position to sell three years, so we can line our rights up to 2028? The answer to that is yes.” In regards to MLB’s strategy, Manfred explains: “I would overweight reach because reach is significant to…the larger negotiation we’ll have for the post-’28 period. We continue to believe that reach drives our live business, and the combination of those two things, at least for that short period of time, I would definitely overweight reach.” The league is in talks with three potential partners now, and Manfred notes that “each set of conversations involves a different group of content. They’re not the same. It’s not like it’s one package that we’re talking to three people about. We’re talking to three people about different packages.” (link)
