Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti joins Fox Sports football analyst Joel Klatt on the Big Noon Conversations podcast to discuss what he would like the College Football Playoff to look like in the future and where things stand as the power conferences try to reach an agreement on a new format. Petitti states what he believes the new format should try to accomplish for the sport and lays out why the Big Ten is in favor of a 16-team format with four AQs for both the Big Ten and the SEC. He also gives his opinion of the 5+11 submitted by the SEC and whether it is a format that the Big Ten would consider. When considering what he wants the CFP to look like, Petitti explains he starts from the position that he wants a postseason format that enhances the regular season. “I want more teams to feel like they’re chasing that opportunity to compete for a national championship. Teams can get hot late in the season. The fact that they lose a game early shouldn’t disqualify them. … I think you see that in the professional sports model. They try to keep as many teams alive for as long as possible. Especially when you get into a world when you condition fans to think about this great new playoff that we've created, they're going to focus on achieving that. So if they sense that teams don't have the opportunity to get there, it's going to eventually hurt. So we want to make sure we have the interest that teams can break through.” Petitti adds: “We just believe strongly that conference record is the backbone of all of that.” Ultimately, Petitti notes the “best way to market the sport is to play more good games. You can talk about all the advertising campaigns you want, you can talk about all the slogans and all the promotion, but at the end of the day what fans really care about is putting more games in front of them and they’ll definitely watch.” Full podcast.

SBJ’s Ben Portnoy pens a lengthy profile of Tennessee AD Danny White, who calls the House settlement a “good step, but I also think that without collective bargaining, the transfer portal is still gonna be a huge issue. There’s still going to be other lawsuits. I hope we can come to some solutions there.” White also said when asked about the situation with former Vols QB Nico Iamaleava: “I’m pro-student-athlete 100%. Should student-athletes have the ability to transfer like regular students? Of course. Should they be able to monetize their name, image and likeness? Of course. Should they get a piece of the pie? Of course. All those things. But whether it’s football or basketball or any sport, they also have a bunch of teammates that are relying on them, and there’s a bunch of teammates on the team that they may be going to. So if we don’t have structure around it, people tend to focus on the one individual person, but a lot of people are affected by just open season fluidity. If everyone knows what the ground rules are and they can make decisions based on what those ground rules are, I think it’s hard to argue fairness, but we don’t really have any structure.” Full profile.

More from Knoxville, as Tennessee AD Danny White has unveiled a collective bargaining model that he believes could serve as a solution to what continues to plague the industry. Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger explains: “In White’s model, college athletes would, in fact, not be employees of their schools. The structure calls for the creation of a national employment organization that partners with a players association, perhaps one already formed in the professional leagues, to create a ‘modernized and improved ecosystem’ for football and men’s basketball players, White describes, and one still tethered to higher education via requirements in a bargained agreement.” White tells Dellenger: “Collective bargaining and employment status shouldn't be seen as negative terms. I think there’s a lot of people who think the same way I do. We can go through another three or five or 10 years of a difficult environment. Or we can accept the reality and fix it right now.” Baylor AD Mack Rhoades and SMU AD Damon Evans believe it’s time to start having the conversation as well, with Rhoades remarking: “Whether you call it collective bargaining or some kind of negotiating process, I think it is needed.” Evans adds: “It’s worth exploring. There is concern over unionizing and I understand that, but where we are right now … I don’t think this is the last iteration of this process.” Lots more, including a flow chart that is part of White’s proposal.

CBS’ John Talty examines how Kentucky’s Champions Blue LLC could serve as a blueprint for schools looking to navigate the rev-share era and explains that in practical terms the LLC “ranges from mixed used real estate and premium fan engagement opportunities to public-private partnerships to even compensating employees differently. At a recent UK Board of Trustees meeting, the board approved a $141M loan which will include $110M in capital investment loans. A good chunk of that money ($36M) will go to improving Kroger Field, the school's football stadium, but it was also revealed that the school is exploring an entertainment district on campus.” Wildcats AD Mitch Barnhart tells Talty: "The public-private partnerships are really important in mixed use facilities. Taking the area around our football stadium and there are opportunities in that land space around there for us to do some things that may create a relationship with local businesses that want to be a part of us. Opportunities to incorporate some of those in our football stadium itself which would be really important. There are opportunities for possible hotel/motel lodging on our campus where maybe we could be a partner to that would make some sense." More. (link)

House Decisions: All In…
+ Western Carolina opts in. Catamounts AD Kyle Pifer: "This decision to opt in is designed to strengthen not only Catamount Athletics, but Western Carolina University as a whole. Opting in will allow WCU Athletics to be more competitive and allow us to continue with our guiding principles of delivering our student-athletes a first-class, championship experience.” Also from WCU’s release: “Opting in to the settlement gives WCU institutional control over player agreement details, shifting fundraising and accountability for player compensation from externally managed ‘collectives’ – in WCU's case, from the Cullowhee Collective, formed by several alumni in 2024 – to the university. Opting in can also offer advantages in student-athlete recruitment and retention, allowing the opportunity to utilize a portion of athletic revenue to benefit student-athletes directly.” (link)
+ North Dakota State will also opt in. Bison AD Matt Larsen: “We truly believe that opting into the House settlement will allow us to continue to be leaders at the FCS and mid-major level in providing financial support and resources to our student-athletes. The ability to provide institutional NIL along with scholarships, cost of attendance and Alston awards will keep NDSU positioned at the top of the subdivision.” (link)
+ So, too, will Samford, per Samford Scoop. (link)
+ You can add Illinois State to the list. (link)

LSU will allocate 75% of its revenue-share to football, 15% to men’s basketball, 5% to women’s basketball and 5% to the rest of its sports, and Tigers Executive Deputy AD/COO Keli Zinn notes that every team will receive some funding. The ones that receive less, she adds, will have everything they need to compete. “There is enough. Our ability to do this and also to support that decision, in big part, is our fan base and how much they have embraced and celebrated sports beyond basketball and football. And as long as they continue to do that, they're going to see us work aggressively to make sure those sports are well-positioned for the highest of success.” Zinn also explains how LSU will approach contract buyouts given the fact that student-athletes are not employees: “Instead, what you'll see us do is work through it in a way where student-athletes are expected to meet their obligations of those agreements. And in the event that they don't, there's some opportunity there to react while they're here at LSU versus trying to seek money after the fact if they transfer or leave the institution.” LSU has reduced its expenses by $3M as part of its rev-share preparations, but Zinn explains that “we are very careful not to put ourselves in a competitive or recruiting disadvantage compared to our peer institutions and those that we compete against. And so you have to be really careful about trying to cut your way out of an issue because if you get behind in that, then you've got some real significant challenges that then ultimately do impact your revenue.” (link)

SBJ’s Abe Madkour examines how Clemson Ventures CEO Michael Drake and Cincy Sports Partners President Ryan Holmes are bringing their pro sports experience to college to maximize sponsorship and revenue opportunities for Clemson and Cincinnati, respectively, and Drake explains: “The opportunities that we all think exist on a college campus are absolutely there if you can get the structure and alignments to work for you from the president on down. It’s more about people and a revenue-generating structure. It’s not just about salespeople. We are highly, highly undermanned in the activation department – we have two people running 60 to 70 partnerships. That’s just not going to work.” Holmes agrees, adding: “There’s a lot of opportunity to leverage different aspects of campus. We have to get the right folks in the right place and get everybody aligned. But Michael nailed it on the activation staffing. We have two people and almost a hundred partners.” Both believe there needs to be a reset in value in college athletics, with Drake submitting that “every school has got to understand the value of the assets that they are playing with, whether it’s athletic assets or campus. It starts with the homework, the data and the valuation of these assets. A lot of schools lack that sophistication today. It is certainly a muscle we are building as part of Clemson Athletics. … There are a number of conversations where I go to either a new partner or an existing one and say, ‘We are a much different program now. We are going to customize your proposal based on multiple areas that you need help in. It’s going to cost you more.’” (link)

SMU raised a record $65.1M in cash gifts from 6,158 donors during the past fiscal year, marking a $10M increase over the previous year’s record of $55M and a 31% YoY increase in total donors. Overall, the Mustang Club received 19 seven-figure and 62 six-figure outright cash gifts, while the department highlighted significant revenue increases in football season tickets (157%), concessions (108%), parking (98%) and licensing (120%). Mustangs AD Damon Evans: "These results are a powerful reflection of what happens when vision, momentum, and belief all align. Our Mustang Club donors continue to lead the way—investing boldly in our programs, our student-athletes, and our future in the ACC. I'm grateful for the leadership of our fundraising team and the confidence of our supporters across the country.” (link)

EA Sports is looking to release a college basketball video game in 2028, according to Extra Points’ Matt Brown, who reports a CLC memo states that “EA Sports was the only company that submitted a bid that would agree to make a standalone, arcade simulation featuring every men’s and women’s basketball team in DI. Other bids proposed including college content in other sports games, or simply producing an action game, rather than a full-fledged simulation title. As with College Football 25, EA proposed including real athletes, paying them a licensing fee that would be facilitated by Compass and One Team Partners.” EA will also consider using game modes similar to its College Football franchise such as Dynasty, Ultimate Team, Road to Glory, and Team Builder. Unlike College Football, Brown notes the basketball version may not be an annual release. Another difference will likely involve the NCAA, which is not referenced in College Football 25. “But for basketball, the NCAA controls trademarks to things like ‘March Madness’ or ‘The NCAA Tournament.’ It’s one thing to include school names and logos and real college basketball players. But could a college basketball video game be realistic enough without NCAA intellectual property? The memo states that EA Sports seeks to obtain licenses not just from schools and players, but also from conferences, trophies, and the NCAA. However, unlike in previous editions, the NCAA will not be in the name of the game.” More from Brown. (link)

CBS’ Brandon Marcello shares the latest on discussions regarding the College Football Playoff format and is told by ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips that after last week’s commissioners’ meeting: "We need the CFP staff to come back with some additional information, but we're working in a collaborative spirit. We may not agree, and we may have some strong disagreements at certain points – and we have had some strong disagreements – but we all also understand that we have to figure this out. It has to be something that's good for college football, that there's fairness in it, and there's access across the country, whether it's the [Power Four] or the [Group of Six] and Notre Dame. We're determined to do that." One Big Ten AD says the SEC playing eight conference games while other leagues play nine is the “biggest of the big issues.” The next in-person meeting among the CFP's management committee is scheduled for Sept. 24 inside the Big Ten's Chicago offices, although another meeting could be scheduled before, and Marcello notes: “Ultimately, partnerships will be tested, but professionalism will prevail. After all, the sport has been here before.” (link)

The NCAA spent $62.2M on outside legal counsel during FY24, “bringing its total legal expenditures to over half a billion dollars (unadjusted for inflation) since Ed O’Bannon filed his landmark antitrust case in July 2009,” according to Sportico’s Daniel Libit, who adds the NCAA “reported $1.29B in total revenue, reflecting a 3% increase from the prior fiscal cycle. But after accounting for liabilities, the organization ended the year with a net asset deficit of $1.97B and total liabilities exceeding $3B.” Additionally, the NCAA distributed $688,257,173 in grants and assistance to 1,185 colleges, universities and athletic conferences. TV rights remained the primary revenue driver, generating $948.4M, while championships and the NIT contributed another $263.2M. Libit also reports that at the close of FY24, the NCAA employed 619 full-time staff members, up from 591 the previous year but still below pre-pandemic levels. The NCAA’s highest-paid independent contractors were all law firms, with the top five in FY24 as follows: Wilkinson Stekloff: $11,036,245; Barnes & Thornburg: $5,294,211; Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe: $4,759,416; Bryan Cave: $3,652,193; and Latham & Watkins: $3,553,943.

Boise State AD Jeramiah Dickey and Oklahoma State AD Chad Weiberg join Sports Illustrated’s Bryan Fischer to share their reaction to the House settlement, the yearlong implementation runway they have been working toward, whether the new revenue demands will impact facility plans and lots more. Weiberg explains that throughout the preparation process for the settlement what’s been “great about that is seeing how the different leaders in our department over the different units have come together with ideas of ways that we can do all of those things, and we’re going to need to continue to do that. Obviously, the conversations with the institution are very important because this is not about just the athletic department, this is an institution-wide thing. What is the role we play for the institution? What’s the importance of that? So we’ve all got to come together to figure this out.” Asked whether they’re pressing pause on facilities upgrades, Dickey says: “My obligation to the department is to create new assets that we can monetize to hopefully get aligned with a more sustainable model when we think about the next three to five years and whatever the future holds. So we are somewhat doubling down on some of our revenue-generating facilities. For example, our basketball arena, we need more premium space. … My responsibility is to bring in more money to the department, and our donors are still and Chad’s facilities are amazing. I’m in maybe a little bit different situation at Boise State where we had a lot of room to grow in terms of the facilities we had and the experience we were providing, and so we needed to do the north end zone. We’re going to need to do something with our [auxiliary] gym connected to basketball to create more of a club space and maybe a space for special events. So we are going to move forward on some of those projects, but there are going to be some projects that it just isn’t going to necessarily pay for itself and it’s not a value that I’m just gonna have to say no for now.” (link)

CBS’ Shehan Jeyarajah examines the role Texas Tech Board of Regents Chair/Double Eagle Co-CEO Cody Campbell has played in supporting the Red Raiders’ through the NIL era, and Campbell explains: "College sports are a business more than they've ever been before. And I think it does require a business mindset in order to be effective. Every dollar you spend, every move you make, has to be thought about as an investment." In July of last year, Campbell called a meeting with Football HC Joey McGuire, GM James Blanchard, AD Kirby Hocutt and a few other administrators to lay out his plan. According to Jeyarajah, Campbell remarked: "Paying players is legal, and there's no cap. After the season, de facto free agency will open. There's no guarantee this world will last forever. When players enter the transfer portal, we should be ready to pounce." Campbell explains that was "just analysis of the legal situation and the business situation. That's what we do every day at work, find opportunities to gain competitive advantages. I saw it as no different than a business deal." Hocutt adds: "It's a moment in time and an opportunity that may not exist again in the next decade. It's an opportunity to go all in. [...] Anyone that believes that West Texas is dying, they have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. When you talk about the food and fuel and fiber that funds so much of this state, it's right here in West Texas. I think it's one of the country's best kept secrets, but that's what football and athletics can help us change because it doesn't need to be a secret." Lots more. (link)

Northern Illinois AD Sean Frazier, Grand Canyon AD Jamie Boggs and Sequence Equity Managing Partner Marcus Stroud join AthleticDirectorU Co-Founder Jason Belzer from the 2025 NACDA Convention to discuss how non-Power 4 schools could use private capital to their advantage. Frazier acknowledges the resource gap exists between the Huskies and P4 programs and remarks: “We’re not going to outspend Ohio State, but we can outmaneuver a system that’s slow to change.” With GCU’s deep experience in online education and platform delivery, Boggs sees a natural extension: building athlete infrastructure that starts in-house but can scale as a service for other institutions. “We already think in terms of platforms. Now we’re applying that same thinking to how we develop and support student-athletes.” Belzer, in summation, notes: “The House settlement may have triggered a national reckoning, but it’s the Group of 5 that now holds the most strategic flexibility – and perhaps the most urgency. Schools that move first won’t just keep up. They’ll own the blueprint.” More on ADU. (link)

Arkansas GM Remy Cofield says the Razorbacks don’t plan to disclose how they’ll share revenue right out of the gate, "but I will say that we're going to put forth a good effort to be competitive in all of our sports from a revenue-sharing standpoint. Those numbers that are getting tossed out there, we're happy to accept them and see them from our standpoint. We're just not going to do that from the University of Arkansas." While Razorbacks AD Hunter Yurachek in May noted he would like to have the first part of Cofield’s staff in place by August 1, Cofield said last Thursday he's discussed various positions with some potential candidates but adds: "I don't have a staff in place and I think we'll go over that when the time is right. We've gone back and forth about a few positions that will help us in the long run.” As for the exact nature of his role, Cofield explains he’s suited to do player evaluations but coaches will ultimately make those decisions. “As time goes along, I hope they trust me to kind of get in the fray with that as well. But if not, that's not what this job is necessarily about. It's about the strategy of how they're putting together rosters and how they can go from two guys to maybe a third guy on their roster without having to put out as much money to go get them. It's the strategic way of doing things opposed to just the full-on watching film and evaluating talent." More from Cofield. (link)

NJCAA Chief Legal Counsel/SVP Jeff White suggests to Sportico’s Michael McCann that the NCAA should modify the GPA requirement for JUCO-to-four-year-college transfers so that it matches that for transfers between four-year schools. “Ironically enough, many NCAA members already offer guaranteed transfer opportunities to two-year students at participating two-year colleges. So participants can transfer and attend as a student, but the NCAA will not allow them to participate as a student-athlete. In the face of the enrollment cliff, the NCAA is forcing its members to turn away student-athletes that otherwise academically qualify. Make that make sense.” (link)

Omaha breaks down the impact of its first-ever NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament berth, as well as how the Mavs have seized on the opportunity to elevate visibility and perception, both locally and nationally. The tourney run included the opportunity to play a broadcast game against St. John’s that drew 3.77M viewers. It also generated an ad value of $9.6M in Total Ad Value Equivalent from TV, radio, streaming and online articles. To capitalize on the moment, Omaha launched the #MarchMAVness campaign and developed an “integrated plan rooted in agility, authenticity, and high-impact storytelling. The campaign's tone was bold, spirited, humorous, and grounded in Maverick resilience.” Key messaging themes included: underdog grit and Cinderella story; Omaha pride and fan experience; UNO as an academic powerhouse; and viral appeal of the trash can celebration.” The campaign’s social media reach stretched to 42.3M across all platforms and included 7.8M video views. From a merchandising standpoint, there was a 320% surge on sales of UNO apparel at SCHEELS, and the Mavs experienced a 32% increase in licensing royalties YoY. Full report. (link)

SBJ’s Ben Fischer notes that while the NFL is working with collegiate governing bodies on the growth of flag football, “high schools remain the linchpin of team sports in the U.S., the place where talent and traditions are developed and maintained to the benefit of the pro leagues. And until very recently, girls were simply shut out of football altogether. Addressing that shortcoming has uncovered pent-up demand, spurring extraordinary enthusiasm. … The sanctioning debate differs in every state, but mostly, the governing bodies want to verify there is authentic interest in the sport across the state, not just in given pockets. They evaluate cost feasibility, potential conflicts with existing sports and sustainability of maintaining the competitions. They also want to know there’s collegiate scholarships available for players who excel.” Fischer goes on to point out that “flag has a lot going for it in these conversations. Its equipment is light and cheap; its real estate needs are flexible; roster sizes are small. And if it’s a girls-only team, it can be a valuable addition to the Title IX math that’s so often challenged by gigantic, boys-only tackle football rosters. College participation is still meager, but growing. NFL VP/Head of Flag Football Stephanie Kwok tells Fischer the flag strategy must be far-reaching because scholastic sports do best when parents, administrators and students see a legitimate pipeline. Fischer: “She calls it a virtuous circle that’s being created – LA28’s successful bid to include flag football in the Olympics legitimized the sport and created an aspirational destination for girls who excel. A pro league could do the same. Furthermore, every additional collegiate program makes it easier to justify a high school program, and every new youth program creates demand for high school teams. All told, flag football participation at all ages is up nearly 14% nationwide in the last three years, according to the Sports and Fitness Industry Association.” (link)

As the debate continues on potential changes to the funding model of college athletics given its importance in preparing Olympians, here’s some interesting adjacent context: The USOPC reported a record $496.2M in revenue last year, according to the organization’s IRS 990 form. SBJ’s Rachel Axon reports the committee brought in more than $85M in donations, making it the best year ever on that front. With total expenses of $388.5M, the USOPC netted $107.7M. According to the tax form, the largest expenses went to athlete excellence and well-being ($233.3M), sports advancement ($49.5M) and community growth ($49.7M). It additionally gave grants of $20M to the U.S. Center for SafeSport, as required under federal law, and $6.4M to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, making those the two highest paid contractors listed on the form. It gave $63.4M in cash grants to 48 NGBs, with 25 getting more than $1M. U.S. Ski and Snowboard received the biggest grant at more than $8M, while USA Swimming and USA Track and Field each received more than $5M. Expenses for the USOPC’s athlete performance pool topped $17.1M, while it spent $14.3M in Operation Gold, its bonus program for success at the Games and other top international events. The 990 form also showed net assets of $385.6M. (link)
