Cal Poly AD Don Oberhelman announces he will retire after 15 years leading the Mustangs when either his successor is named or at the end of the summer. President Jeffrey Armstrong: “Don has embraced the Cal Poly hallmark of continued improvement and leaves our Athletics program significantly enhanced from the day he arrived. On behalf of our entire university community, I offer our sincere thanks to Don for his commitment to athletic and academic excellence and his unwavering support for our student-athletes over the years.” (link)

SBJ’s Ben Portnoy and Chris Smith broke some key news this morning: “Elevate is set to announce the creation of the Collegiate Investment Initiative, a $500M initiative backed by PE firm Velocity Capital Management and the Texas Permanent School Fund.” Chief Business Officer of Elevate College and Global Marketplace Jonathan Marks: “One of the needs that we’ve seen that’s gone unfulfilled is the need for project-based or bridge capital that a school might not be able to achieve within the university debt structure or via bonds. We’re looking more to provide debt-type capital or credit, [and] that ultimately we can help a school monetize that investment and that return on capital more than anyone else.” Elevate’s strategy, Portnoy & Smith add, is to “support cash-strapped athletic departments without requiring equity commitments or short-term exit strategies typically deployed by private equity firms. Instead, these disbursements can be long-term deals secured by a percentage of future, incremental revenues.” (link) 

Penn State and UCLA are the inaugural partners in Elevate’s newly unveiled $500M College Investment Initiative, according to Sportico’s Daniel Libit, Eben Novy-Williams and Scott Soshnick, who write that after Sportico’s initial story on the new Elevate initiative was published, “a UCLA spokesperson said that while the school is currently partnered with Elevate for ticketing, it has not engaged with the new college sports fund. The spokesperson did not provide any additional details about conversations between UCLA and Elevate about expanding its relationship.” (link); Nittany Lions AD Pat Kraft denies that the school has agreed to a private equity deal, according to Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger, who quotes Kraft as saying: "Elevate serves as our partner in ticketing strategy and operations. To clarify, our relationship is strictly limited to these services. We have no affiliation or involvement with any private equity firm or fund." (link)

Boise State is “actively considering” bringing private equity investment into the athletic department and expects to have a deal in place “within the next six months,” Broncos AD Jeramiah Dickey tells Front Office Sports’ Amanda Christovich. Dickey adds: “Ultimately, I need to create more assets for my institution and state. But because the athletic department doesn’t earn as much money as some others, I have to get that much more creative, which means I have to take that much more risk, and appropriately so.” Christovich reports that Boise State has set up an entity called the Bronco Athletic Growth Solutions (BAGS), which runs through the athletic department foundation. BAGS is looking into “things that I would still define as nontraditional that create new revenue streams,” including PE, according to Dickey. Christovich goes on to explain that “the entity has been assessing different types of private equity opportunities. For example, they could go the route of private credit, which would help pay for facilities upgrades. Boise State wouldn’t be the first to private equity, however. (link)

ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC leaders met by video Monday morning to discuss the direction of college sports post-House, and FootballScoop’s John Brice notes that while SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey “confirmed his Sunday afternoon round of golf with President Donald Trump and Notre Dame [AD] Pete Bevacqua, the session mostly was very general discussion with little substance as to how, exactly, everyone moves forward.” Sankey: “I've always appreciated (Trump's) interest in college sports. It was helpful for me and for Pete as well to hear his thoughts and perspective and share some of ours." As for what those thoughts were, Sankey adds: “I think those are best left for the moment on the golf course." ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips during the call noted that "we're in the process of putting together structure” when it comes to punishments for NIL deals that don’t meet the new standard. (link) 

ESPN’s Pete Thamel reports the call included a “lot of chatter” about the hire of Bryan Seeley from MLB as the College Sports Commission’s new CEO. Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark: "It was unanimous among the commissioners that he was the right person at the right time for this role. He was passionate about the opportunity." Yormark adds that Seeley ran to the opportunity and, per Thamel, used the term "course-correct what’s going on in the industry" to describe the goal of Seeley's role. Sankey noted that “congressional activity remains important,” calls the industry "uniquely American" and says that it deserves attention and support of the Congressional level. (link)

The Athletic’s Ralph Russo catches up with College Sports Commission CEO Bryan Seeley, who says: “I think this is a good, new starting point. So whatever existed beforehand does not need to be what exists going forward. Culture doesn’t change overnight. I don’t expect that to happen overnight, but I do think that the schools that have signed on to the settlement want rules and want rules to be enforced. Otherwise they wouldn’t have signed on to the settlement. I think student-athletes want a different system. So I think there is a desire for rules enforcement. There’s a desire for transparency.” Seeley also tells Russo: “These are going to be more private-sector investigations, right? We don’t have subpoena power. We don’t have search-warrant power. I’ve operated in that system for over a decade, so I’m well-suited to continue to do that with college sports. I think I’m one of the few people in the country who’s probably led investigations into salary-cap circumvention, and so in terms of the subject matter, at least for part of this, I have a lot of experience.” Seeley understands that “college sports is its own unique thing, and what makes college sports great needs to remain” and adds: “Some of the system we’re going to bring for enforcement is a system that has been used in the pro sports world, but it’s been used in other worlds, too. … But I don’t view this as the professionalization of college sports. Working with schools and working with student-athletes is going to be quite different than working with professional sports teams and professional athletes.” (link)

The Washington Post’s Jesse Dougherty has obtained copies of federal draft legislation from two House committees, “which would amount to a bill that checks off every item the NCAA has spent years — and millions of dollars — lobbying for: a preemption of state laws that conflict with rules set by the NCAA and/or its conferences; a prohibition on college athletes being classified as employees; and broad antitrust protection that lines up with the House v. NCAA settlement approved Friday, which could insulate the NCAA and its members from legal challenges of a new salary cap for schools’ direct payments to athletes and attempts to regulate booster spending in the name, image and likeness (NIL) market.” Dougherty reports the draft language specifically includes antitrust exemption for “preventing an associated entity or individual from providing a student-athlete compensation greater than fair market value for name, image and likeness agreements; a school, conference or interstate association setting the maximum amount of money that can be distributed to athletes in a given year; and limiting the eligibility of athletes based on the number of seasons played or years exhausted. This is not part of the House settlement but would provide the NCAA with protection from a slew of antitrust lawsuits challenging eligibility rules.” The draft legislation outlines additional antitrust protection for enforcing transfer rules and an agent registration process. More from Dougherty. (link)

Ohio State and Learfield’s Ohio State Sports Properties have announced the formation of Buckeye Sports Group (BSG), which is designed to support, streamline and enhance NIL opportunities for Buckeyes student-athletes. Specifically, BSG will create a dedicated team of NIL leaders to prioritize student-athlete brand engagement and content-driven campaigns through three key areas: deal facilitation and management, content creation and storytelling, and support services.

247Sports’ David Eickholt reports that “as a result of Friday's landmark House settlement, the University of Iowa will begin to share revenue directly with student-athletes beginning July 1, 2025. To further strengthen its financial position and to allow for revenue-sharing, Iowa Athletics has created Flight Funds, a new charitable avenue that allows donors to invest in student-athlete revenue sharing and help Iowa build championship-caliber programs.” (link)

Meanwhile, Iowa has hired former Kansas City Chiefs GM Scott Pioli as a consultant to help the football program transition to a new financial model. The Athletic’s Scott Dochterman also reports the Hawkeyes “will have a cap management structure that includes designated GMs for each program. Other roles: Marcus Wilson, executive senior associate AD, oversees cap management & administration. Scott Brickman, Iowa's GM for NIL and strategy through a partnership with Altius Sports Partners, will review and approve all agreements.” (link, link)

Texas Tech says its fundraising arm, the Red Raider Club, will be responsible for generating $14M annually to help fund its $20.5M revenue-sharing model, according to 247Sports’ Brandon Marcello. (link)

Florida A&M AD Angela Suggs has been arrested and charged with grand theft and other counts related to alleged false claims on travel vouchers in her previous job, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, which says in a statement: “The investigation began in November 2024 after FDLE received a criminal referral from the Florida Department of Commerce’s Inspector General with an audit of Suggs’ business credit card purchases and corresponding travel reimbursements. … The investigation revealed Suggs misused her FSF-issued credit card to make wire transfers and cash withdraws and personal purchases at casinos during business trips, totaling more than $24,000. She then falsified travel vouchers, coding the unauthorized charges as meals. When asked about the unauthorized charges, Suggs claimed some were for business meals and others were accidentally charged to the business card. She failed to fully repay (the foundation) for her personal expenditures." Suggs, who was President/CEO of the Florida Sports Foundation (FSF) until joining FAMU in October 2024, turned herself in on June 9 at the Leon County Jail. She was released from custody on a $13,500 bond. FAMU Interim President Timothy Beard says he was “aware of the allegations involving our athletics director, Angela Suggs, while she was working with a former employer. While the matter is unrelated to her duties as an employee at FAMU, we are monitoring the situation and will respond in the future as appropriate." (link)

UCF’s Roth Tower expansion and Hagle Gateway projects are moving along on schedule, according to Knights AD Terry Mohajir. The Orlando Sentinel’s Matt Murschel notes there was some concern about the potential rise in steel costs due to recent tariffs placed on items produced outside the U.S., but Mohajir says: “A lot of the steel is coming from Florida. That was one of the things I was worried about. I was concerned about some of the tariffs because they originate from overseas. However, a significant portion of our steel comes from several steel plants in Florida and Arkansas. Most of our high-producing steel companies are buying most of our products domestically.” Murschel also reports the stadium will be renamed as the Acrisure Bounce House after FBC Mortgage rebrands as Acrisure Mortgage on July 1, pending Trustees’ approval. Mohajir explains it “doesn’t change the naming rights deal, but it does change the potential name of the same, but we have the governance process we have to go through. We’re still trying to figure out if we have to get that approved by our board of trustees since they changed their name.” (link, link)

Learfield has released the 2024-25 Learfield Impact Report, which indicates the total sponsorship spend of brand partners activating NIL campaigns eclipsed $140M for the year, up from $70M in 2023-24. Meanwhile, the number of brand partners increased from just over 500 to 950 YoY, student-athlete earnings jumped from $13.6M to $16M and the number of participating student-athletes doubled from 2,000 to 4,000. Additionally, the percentage of women’s student-athletes increased from 43% in 2023-24 to 49%. Football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball and softball student-athletes participated in NIL deals at the highest rates, respectively. Learfield CEO Gole Gahagan: “With the approval of the House settlement, it is imperative to surround our partners with resources and tools that drive successful student-athlete marketing initiatives. Learfield Impact represents the next big step in our leading portfolio of services, combining the three factors that optimize NIL activity – people, content and technology –  to form the most powerful NIL solution in college athletics.” Full report.

Warner Bros. Discovery is splitting itself into two standalone publicly traded companies, separating its HBO Max streaming service, movie studio and TV production business from its cable networks. According to the Wall Street Journal’s Joe Flint, one company will be home to CNN, TNT, TBS and Warner’s dozens of cable channels, as well as its international holdings. That entity, called Global Networks for now, will hold as much as a 20% stake in the second entity, which Warner is referring to as Streaming & Studios. It plans to use earnings from that stake to pay off debt. WBD CEO David Zaslav will remain as CEO of the Streaming & Studios company, while CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels will serve as CEO of Global Networks. Zaslav: “We are empowering these iconic brands with the sharper focus and strategic flexibility they need to compete most effectively in today’s evolving media landscape.” (link)

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)

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.

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)
