Maine flips its decision, will opt into the House settlement: “The University of Maine has closely monitored the House vs. NCAA case and carefully considered the implications of its settlement for the future of collegiate athletics. While our initial intention was to opt out, after closer review of the final settlement and the clarifying guidance — in particular regarding roster limits — we have officially notified the NCAA that we will opt in for the 2025-26 academic year.” (link)

West Virginia AD Wren Baker continues to provide insights from Morgantown on how the new financial framework of college athletics will impact the Mountaineers. Baker on the possibility of reducing department head count: “We have less people than any other school in the Big 12 in terms of full-time employees, and generally, our people are not as well-paid as a lot of our colleagues around the country, so we are not in a position where we can cut 100 people like some schools have. That would be about half our workforce. We don't really have that option.” Baker also points to the need for more premium inventory in Milan Puskar Stadium & the WVU Coliseum: “That is something we have to fix if we want to grow. [...] When people see us do things like restructuring men's basketball seating or looking at our parking allotments, we had a lot of people over the years been given grace on way more parking passes than they are actually allotted. Well, the problem with that is a lot of those parking passes have a donation requirement, so everybody who is getting X amount, when we did an audit, it amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars (in lost revenue).” As for the potential of more support from the state: “I would sit here and espouse the value of successful athletics for any campus, but I think in this state, it's more important than any other state in the entire country. I think people associate the brand and the success of our state with the success of WVU and WVU athletics, and I would throw WVU Medicine in there as well. For our state to be in a healthy economic position, it needs WVU, WVU Medicine and WVU athletics to also be in really good condition. What is that worth? It is going to require some kind of investment from everyone.” (link)

North Dakota State AD Matt Larsen notes the challenges of leading over the past year, but boils down administrative stress quite simply: “Fans won’t notice a difference between opting in or opting out. The biggest thing fans will notice is if the level of success goes away, that’s what they’re going to notice.” However, Larsen says the business community supporting the Bison will also notice a further investment in staff pushing to land NIL deals for student-athletes via Learfield’s Bison Sports Properties team of six: “I think we’ve probably seen in the last year a number of local businesses that are seeing the value in those. So having somebody out there, in addition to our regular employees that are out there, building relationships with corporate sponsors, they’re trying to get NIL wrapped into those deals as well. Having somebody who is specifically meeting with student-athletes educating them on how they can improve their brand a little bit and then helping them make those one-on-one connections with people in the community.” (link)

More from Florida Gulf Coast AD Colin Hargis on how the Eagles will proceed with the House settlement. Regarding how much revenue FGCU will share, Hargis says: “Strategically, I don't know if there's a huge benefit of sharing our plan with the outside world and some of our peers. But again, I go back to the topic earlier without maxing out our cap and without going all in essentially on a football program. We have more flexibility and the ability to have those conversations with each coach and program to say, ‘What does this look like for you? What could you need? What would you want? And how do we best help you and support you?’ We're able to have those conversations across all 15 programs, which I think is a little unique and different compared to some of the other schools and the other conferences."

Action Network’s Brett McMurphy reports “Big 12 ADs & coaches have decided to do away w/league’s preseason media poll, sources said. Big 12 will continue its preseason all-league teams. Last year Big 12 champ Arizona State was selected 16th in preseason poll. Big 12 joins Big Ten as only conferences w/out a league preseason poll.

The Mercury News’ Jon Wilner takes a look at how the NIL/rev-share era could impact the Utah-BYU rivalry and points out the “era of unchecked NIL has gone exceedingly well for the Cougars, who possess one of the richest donor bases in the country.” Former Utah AD Chris Hill admits that “as a Utah guy, yeah, I’m concerned. You look at the dollars, and it’s just the reality. Utah has great support, and Utah will be fine. But it’s no secret that BYU has more wealth.” Hill also says of the College Sports Commission that “in theory, it’s fine. If they can enforce it, then it’s a different ballgame. But I’m skeptical. I just think they are going to get sued again and again until they can collectively bargain.” Hill disagrees with those who contend that student-athlete employment is a non-starter and says: “I don’t know what the problem is. Just call them athlete-workers. There’s no reason why they can’t be employees. The NCAA is going to get sued again and again until there’s a CBA. I don’t see the end of it until they are employees with a union and contracts and buyouts.” (link)

New on Collegiate Sports Connect: Stetson President Chris Roellke and AD Ricky Ray sit down with Collegiate Sports Associates’ Steph Garcia Cichosz to reflect on the on-and-off-field success for the Hatters during Ray’s first year, offer insight into their experience from the search process and share advice for how to master alignment and relationship-building early in a President/AD partnership. On the latter, Ray advises spending time together, “whether it’s a scheduled one-on-one meeting or at games or outside of working hours. Just to get to know each other. I think that’s one of the best things we've done.” Ray also stresses the importance of being transparent: “As I've gone through some tough decisions that could potentially land on his desk, I’ve tried to be as transparent as I can, walking him through where I’m at, giving both sides. And I think even if we land in a different lane, we still both know where we’re coming from. … I think sharing the transparency behind the steps in the decision and maybe being able to help guide where this could potentially go is helpful.” Roellke agrees and adds: “What might be helpful for folks that are going into the big chair, I would say be prepared for the uncertainty associated with the role. In other words, you may come in with this wonderful vision of how things are going to go and the legacy you’d like to leave in the leadership role, but the truth is, I think, there’s uncertainty in this sector, there’s uncertainty in collegiate athletics, and it may not go exactly the way you would like to go. So I think being nimble, being flexible, realizing that it’s not all on you, I think is another important thing to think about.” Full conversation. (link)

The College Front Office publisher Noah Henderson explains the process of “cap smoothing” as practiced by the NBA and NFL and how it could potentially apply to college sports: “In the NBA, the salary cap is tied to Basketball Related Income (BRI), but growth is smoothed to ensure stability. Under the current collective bargaining agreement, the cap cannot increase by more than 10% year-over-year, even if league revenues surge. Excess revenue is effectively held back – either through the league’s escrow system or deferred cap adjustments – and spread across future seasons. This prevents disruptive spikes and allows teams to plan multi-year deals with far greater predictability.” As for its application to college sports, Henderson notes that “rather than recalculating the athlete compensation pool annually, the [House] settlement employs a three-year smoothing mechanism. In Year 1 of each cycle, a new baseline is set at 22% of ‘Average Shared Revenue’ based on financial reports. For the next two years, that number grows at a fixed 4% rate – a built-in inflation escalator. The cycle then resets with recalculations in Years 4, 7, and 10 – these recalculation years should be examined and planned for very carefully. … Given the trajectory of media rights valuations and a heightened focus on revenue generation to offset the burden of athlete compensation, these recalibration years could yield significant spikes to schools' revenue-sharing caps.” Henderson goes on to note that “while the $20.5M figure is a hard cap on paper…in a system without a collective bargaining agreement, recalculation years and multi-year deal structures might become the closest thing to front-office leverage in college athletics. Cap smoothing isn’t something to gloss over in the House settlement – it’s a strategic tool to be exploited. Programs that understand how to use it will have an advantage in both the short and long term.” Lots more. (link)

Eleven female students, all but one of whom was a student-athlete at Michigan, filed a lawsuit on Friday alleging the school let former Co-Offensive Coordinator Matt Weiss coach in the 2022 Fiesta Bowl despite knowing he hacked into the personal accounts of female college athletes. The suit, which is an amended version of a civil complaint initially filed in March in federal court in Detroit, adds former Wolverines Football HC Jim Harbaugh, former Presidents Santa Ono and Mark Schlissel and AD Warde Manuel as defendants. From the suit: “Harbaugh led and encouraged a culture within the football program that resulted in a complete lack of oversight or protection for non-football student athletes. Had Harbaugh implemented basic oversight of his staff, plaintiffs…would have been protected against predators such as Weiss.” One of the women’s lawyers, Parker Stinar: “Naming Head Coach Jim Harbaugh and Athletic Director Warde Manuel in this complaint reflects our belief that leadership at the highest levels either knew of these threats or deliberately ignored them, prioritizing athletic prestige and profit over the safety and dignity of students.” The lawsuit is one of at least 13 civil cases filed against Weiss by lawyers representing more than 80 female student athletes nationwide.

Boston U announces it will conduct an external review of the athletic department’s policies following two reports in the Boston Globe this month regarding how the school handled situations in which women’s soccer student-athletes felt harassed by their coaches. The statement from BU: “We invite a new external review to look at our policies, processes, and other practices. This is designed to evaluate our preventions, resources for support and care, and processes for follow-up should athletes bring complaints. We are dedicated to ensuring an environment in which our athletes feel encouraged to raise concerns and that reports are addressed in ways that are consistent, lawful, and focused on the well-being of our athletes. These structures must be responsive and supportive of those who bring forth concerns, as well as provide fair fact-finding practices and privacy for all involved, including our student-athletes and staff. The University takes harassment and sexual harassment, as well as reporting, seriously. We look forward to an external review’s recommendations that can provide suggestions for continued improvements as we strive for excellence in our athletic program.” The results of a recent investigation of former HC Casey Brown and her treatment of a player last season were not released, other than to say it found no misconduct by the coach. Brown resigned from BU in December. Former Terriers student-athlete Alex Cooper says Brown’s predecessor, Nancy Feldman, sexually harassed her during her three seasons with the program. (link)

Sam Houston State “delayed a Title IX investigation into offensive lineman MarKendrick Beall, allowing him to play nine of 12 games in the regular season, then issued a probation with a timeline that might have enabled him to return to football in fall 2025,” according to Chron’s Leah Vann, who reports: “Beall's Title IX investigation arose from a two-year on-and-off relationship with Christen Clark, a Dallas resident, which involved stalking, assault, and civil conspiracy to commit stalking.” Clark tells Vann: "I reported MarKendrick Beall to Sam Houston State University's Title IX office because I feared for my safety and the safety of others on campus. His behavior constituted a sustained pattern of dating violence, cyberbullying and cyberstalking, all of which were confirmed by the university's own findings." Vann goes on to explain that Beall “received a one-year probation on [September 25, 2024] for violating the school's sexual misconduct policy, which was 209 days after Clark's filing and four games into the Bearkats' season. … Beall's probation, however, could not start that fall until after he completed an appeals process he chose by the October 2 deadline. That appeal hearing was not scheduled until October 28, three more games into the season. After the hearing, Beall played his last game with the Bearkats against Louisiana Tech on October 29, and the Title IX office reissued a final one-year probation starting November 4 with an end date of November 3, 2025.” Beall announced in February that he had entered the transfer portal, but Nesenoff & Miltenberg Partner Andrew Miltenberg notes he “shouldn’t have been in the transfer portal if he was currently suspended, according to NCAA rules.” While there were no updates on whether Beall transferred, he was later listed on the school’s roster, but an SHSU spokesperson confirms Beall is not listed on the roster for the 2025 season.

NCAA President Charlie Baker was credited with a little more than $3.4M in total compensation for his first 10 months on the job in 2023, according to USA Today’s Steve Berkowitz. Federal tax records also show former President Mark Emmert received slightly more than $1.4M in base salary and more than $600K in other benefits during his final months with the association. Emmert also received nearly $4.3M in severance during the 2023 calendar year. Berkowitz notes that Baker’s total pay included just over $2.6M in base compensation, $400K in bonus pay and nearly $360K in other reportable compensation. The base amount, when annualized, is a little more than $3.15M. (link)

MoloLamken LP, the law firm representing a key group of objectors in the House case, has “raised ethical concerns about the conduct of class counsel, after the latter refused to consent to an extension for the objectors to file a motion seeking court-awarded attorneys’ fees,” according to Sportico’s Michael McCann and Daniel Libit, who note that “in response, class counsel has accused the objectors’ lawyers of attempting to use procedural tactics to secure millions of dollars in fees—potentially at the expense of hundreds of thousands of athletes.” MoloLamken Partner Steven Molo specifically alleges that class counsel refused his request for a filing extension unless he agreed to waive a potential appeal on behalf of his clients. Molo acknowledges missing the deadline but attributes the oversight to his having committed his “singular focus” to the work evaluating legal options for his clients ahead of the 30-day notice-of-appeal deadline. House plaintiffs’ attorney Steve Berman tells Sportico: “They want to trash the settlement without the appellate court knowing. The minute it’s upheld they will ask for millions in fees claiming what great benefits they created for the class. So, they want to talk two-faced without the appellate court knowing.” McCann and Libit note that “it is important to stress that while Molo criticizes class counsel for turning down his request for an extension, class counsel were under no obligation to grant it. It was a request, not a command.” Furthermore, despite offering a reason for the error, McCann and Libit add that U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken “might not care or find it sufficiently mitigating. Some judges are known to reprimand attorneys who miss deadlines and even sanction them.” (link)

North Dakota announces today that it will opt in to the House settlement, effective June 27. AD Bill Chaves: "With the information that we have today and the requirement to make a decision by Monday, June 30, we felt that this was the most prudent course of action. There was always a chance that when the final settlement occurred that it could be different than what was initially provided by both the plaintiffs' and defendants' attorneys and sure enough that was the case."

Drake makes a call on House: “After much deliberation and evaluation, Drake University has opted into the settlement and is ready to embrace this new era. At our core, our pursuit of sustained excellence in the classroom, competition, and community remains the same. For us to remain competitive and relevant, we must be willing to adjust with the changing times, especially in the sport of basketball. The pride and enjoyment our men's and women's basketball teams have provided us in recent years has also served as a reminder to the significance their success has on the rest of the department. In short, our basketball programs and the Drake Relays are the rising tide that lifts all other boats in our department. In order for all of our student-athletes and sport programs to grow, we must position our basketball programs and Drake Relays to flourish.” (link)

Omaha’s decision on the House settlement: “As a result of this strategic planning, university leadership has decided that UNO will not opt in to the terms of the House settlement for the 2025-2026 academic year, but will position the department to opt-in in future years when necessary. This decision reflects a strategic approach to preserve our sport portfolio and roster flexibility, respond to evolving policies and legal shifts, and invest directly in Maverick student-athletes under current NCAA rules, laying the groundwork for a smooth transition in the future.” Further, the Mavs point to: 1) Honoring the financial commitments already delivered to student-athletes on 2025-26 rosters; 2) Title IX considerations; 3) Evolving costs of NIL, specifically the unclear cost of NIL Go; and, 4) International, financial and legal considerations.

“Seemingly overnight, long-sleepy Sacramento State has transformed into one of the flashiest athletic departments in college sports,” according to The Athletic’s Christopher Kamrani and Stewart Mandel, who note the football program is expected to spend $4M on NIL in calendar year 2025. They also note Football HC Brennan Marion’s salary is $750K, and the program has a $2.7M staff pool. All three figures are believed to be the highest in the FCS. Marion: “There’s a lot of people in this community with real money…and they’re really all in on making this a top-tier football program. If we’re announced FBS – when we’re announced FBS – the only schools on the West Coast that will have more than us financially when it comes to helping players in NIL will be USC and Oregon.” Despite setbacks in the FBS journey, Marion remarks: “[State] senators are involved, congressmen are involved – people are very serious about us going to FBS in this region. Just me, personally, if I was on the NCAA Council, I don’t want to go against the state capital of California.” President Luke Wood adds: “I’m glad that people get to see that these things aren’t easy. Because it’s going to make the victory even more sweet. Because we will be FBS.” Meanwhile, Hornets AD Mark Orr points out that “we’re the only top-20 media market in the country that doesn’t have an FBS program. This market is thirsty for something like this.” More. (link)

FAU announces its immediate intent to support its Athletics Competitive Excellence Fund (CEF) with an annual multimillion-dollar allocation of auxiliary funds, as recently allowed by the Florida Board of Governors. The FAU Board of Trustees approved the measure on Friday. Specifically, the Owls plans to commit an average of $5M per year to the CEF, which, when combined with private giving, allows FAU to far exceed the minimum investment requirements set by the American. President Adam Hasner: "While we continue to invest heavily in our academic and research missions, having a competitive athletics program is an important aspect of our university's success on and off the field. In the new paradigm of intercollegiate athletics, these funds represent a downpayment on our investment in competitive excellence while we also improve the student athlete experience across all our men's and women's programs."

Florida Gulf Coast AD Colin Hargis talks with the Naples Daily News’ Alex Martin about FGCU’s rev-share approach and explains: "Taking a step back in general, the scholarship situation in every single sport can essentially become an equivalency sport. You can have a sport like women's basketball in the past, where you had to give out your full scholarships. Well, now you can give out partial scholarships if you choose to. So even that becomes a little bit different for any coach out there. A lot of that turns into, you know, trying to put a little bit of science behind the art, and understanding what that modeling can look like. And that's what we're looking at. We're looking at different software partners, and we've already worked with some of them with different softwares and capabilities, but they have these other platforms. So, we're looking at…[giving coaches] a little bit more of a scientific approach to it.” Hargis believes there will be fewer walk-ons but doesn’t necessarily see them going away altogether. He notes that some programs that, for instance, carried baseball rosters of upwards of 50 players are no longer able to do that, so “those student-athletes have an opportunity or need to find another opportunity. I do think that that will level out the playing field, a little bit. That's going to help with that.” Full Q&A. (link)

Andrew Minear, executive director of the Washington-focused Montlake Futures, sent a note to members this week confirming the organization will “step away from the forefront” and will no longer process recurring payments or contributions beyond June 30, according to On Montlake’s Christian Caple. Minear did leave open the possibility of exploring “complementary services” in the future. Caple notes that as the focus shifts from collectives to commercial NIL, UW will utilize its in-house Dawgs Unleashed program to help secure such deals for student-athletes. Joe Knight, the program’s executive director, believes the Huskies will have an advantage in this area: “There are so many near-and-dear donors to this place that own businesses. It’s my job, and our team’s job, to get really creative about finding ways that our student-athletes can help those businesses. Almost across the board, our donors that have these business interests are willing to have the conversation, and I think that gives us a leg up here.” Knight also points to UW’s partnership with Learfield and says: “We’re going to work to ingrain ourselves into the work that Huskies Sports Properties is doing. He envisions Dawgs Unleashed working with “a lot of restaurants, car dealerships and hotels” to find brand deals on more of a one-off basis. Meanwhile, Caple points out that as part of UW’s new Learfield agreement, the company has committed an average of more than $1.1M per year to athlete NIL deals over the next 12 years. More. (link)

More from Florida AD Scott Stricklin as he explains that as soon as UF begins any major renovation to the main seating areas in The Swamp it must be ADA-compliant, and that will force the loss of thousands of seats. “That’s just a reality that we’re dealing with. That’s not something I dreamed up. But we have an option. We can sit there and just not touch it and let it fall into disrepair or we can finally address it and try to do something in a thoughtful manner.” Regarding the project’s timeline, Stricklin says: “We are in the design/development phase. … We’ll wrap this up sometime in the fall. At that point we’ll have a really good sense on budget. We’ll have a really good sense of what we’ll actually do. And once we come up with a financing plan we’ll be ready to start sharing that with Gator Nation.” (link)

Miami (OH) Men’s Basketball HC Travis Steele asserts that “they’ve got to get rid of the NET. The NET, I think, is awful. … We can't get a game. We can't get any games. Nobody will play us because we're supposed to be really good next year, so nobody wants to play. Teams are supposed to play the teams that you've never heard of and go beat them by 40 and that helps your NET. That's what all the Big East coaches and the Big Ten coaches and the SEC, that’s what they’re all told to do. Go play the worst teams possible and go beat them by a million. Do fans like that? No. Does that help them become a better team? Absolutely not. But they get rewarded for that versus if you play a Miami or an Akron or whoever, a Toledo, it’s going to be a good game. Those are good teams, really good teams. It may be a hard game, and it’s going to be a little bit closer. Well, you get punished for playing us via the NET unless you just absolutely drill us, which is probably less likely than versus some of those other teams. (link)
