NCAA SVP of Policy and Governance Kevin Lennon, the longest-tenured national office employee, will retire in August after being with the NCAA since 1986. President Charlie Baker: “Kevin was one of the first people I met when I became president of the NCAA. We discovered that he and I had been student-athletes at Harvard around the same time. While I had been unable to hold onto any job for more than 10 years, Kevin had become an increasingly important part of the NCAA's story for almost three decades. When I asked him to take on a newly created leadership role overseeing governance shortly after I arrived, he made clear to me that he would give it all he had, but he wouldn't commit in that moment to do it for the long term. He has delivered on both parts of his commitment. His leadership, steadiness and wide circle of colleagues and relationships has made the work we've done for the past two years much easier and better than it would have been without him. I wish him joy and happiness in whatever he chooses to do next and will continue to call him for guidance and advice.” (link)

NCAA VP of Academic and Membership Affairs Dave Schnase will also retire in September after three decades in Indianapolis. President Charlie Baker: “There may be no one who knows as much about the history, challenges and changes as Dave Schnase does. His contributions, mentorship, leadership, steady hand and calm and thoughtful way of handling issues and people make him a unique presence at the NCAA, for members and staff alike. As we've worked through the challenging task of modernizing many elements of our regulatory approach at the same time we continue to oversee and manage the rules we have, he has been at the center of this management and decision-making process. Dave made clear to me he wouldn't be at the NCAA forever but made clear to me he would be here to help us work our way through many of our biggest challenges which he has done. I wish him the very best as he moves on to whatever his next act will be and thank him immensely for all he has given to college sports and the NCAA.” (link)

The NCAA DI Committee on Legislative Relief has issued a blanket waiver for Designated Student-Athletes to enter the transfer portal from July 7 to August 5, per Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger, who adds: “There is no limit to how many athletes a school can designate as a DSA. Deadline to submit DSA lists is July 6. However, the DSAs are now free to transfer this summer and ‘must be released from their contract prohibition’ with their existing schools, per documents. A reminder: An athlete is eligible to be placed on a DSA list if he/she (1) would have been removed from the school's 2025-26 roster due to new roster limits; (2) was an eligible member of a team in 2024-25; (3) was recruited & assured by a school of a 2025-26 roster spot.” (link)

New Mexico State Acting AD Amber Burdge tells the Las Cruces Sun-News’ Nick Coppola that she supports the decision to launch a national AD search and expects to be among the top candidates. "It's a great thing for us, because all I want is the absolute best thing for New Mexico State and New Mexico State athletics. I am excited to be a solid candidate in that search because I've had two-and-a-half years of experience here. I know that I love this place. I know that I love Las Cruces. Another candidate may be researching us and say how much they can benefit us, but I can talk about having been here and falling in love with this community and this campus, and what this athletics department can do for this community and with this community." Burdge also says when it comes to revenue-sharing that “I'm not going to share the specific numbers because I don't want another school out there negatively recruiting against us because of this, but I will say that we've come up with a system that supports all of our student-athletes." The Aggie Athletic Club has raised $168K since the 2025-26 fundraising window opened, and Burdge notes: "It's not exactly where we want to be. You've been talking about all of the changes and where we're going, and we've added one more reason that we need to fundraise, and that is internal NIL, or revenue sharing." More from Burdge. (link)

Georgia is looking to bring another major concert to Sanford Stadium on April 25, 2026, and has partnered with talent acquisition firm Does Entertainment to narrow down potential acts. Bulldogs AD Josh Brooks: “The idea of bringing concerts back to Sanford Stadium has been in the works for a long time, and I am excited to see it become a reality. Our partnership with Does Entertainment allows us to attract top talent to Athens for a one-of-a-kind show. While nothing compares to a football Saturday at Sanford Stadium, a big-name concert inside one of the most iconic venues in sports creates a tradition that Bulldog Nation and the surrounding area will enjoy.” Sanford Stadium last hosted a concert 12 years ago.

Extra Points publisher Matt Brown examines the role MMR companies will play going forward and Playfly Sports Properties President Christy Hedgpeth, who joined the company in 2021, points out that “there was a such a gap, even though it’s starting to narrow, between what pro leagues were doing to unlock their full revenue potential and what colleges were willing to do. You’re seeing some growing pains, I think, where college is coming to terms with the fact that monetization is a professionalized skill.” According to Brown, that means more colleges are “starting to open up sponsorship categories that would have been very controversial just five or six years ago.” Hedgpeth cites corporate logos on fields as an example and says she expects college to “eventually” get to a point where corporate sponsorships will be permitted on uniforms. She also sees a critical opportunity in data. “Generally speaking, brands are going to make rational decisions. They’re going to want to evaluate what they’re getting for the price that’s on the table. That’s why data is so incredibly important, because brands have a lot of choices where to invest their money.” Furthermore, Hedgpeth sees a lot of potential in integrating student-athletes’ IP with colleges’ IP in future MMR-led marketing campaigns. “We know that as much as eight times more engagement on social is possible where an athlete is integrated into a post vs. just a product. There’s an inherent value there.” (link)

Clemson Ventures CEO Michael Drake talks with the Post & Courier’s Jon Blau about the Tigers’ approach to revenue generation moving forward and acknowledges that “we might make a few mistakes, but we're going to get really smart before everybody else gets in this game, and be the leaders and create something that people are going to follow, and I think will be envied." While Drake declines to be too specific about how much Clemson Ventures can generate, he's fully aware Texas A&M sold its multimedia rights to Playfly Sports for 15 years, for an average guarantee of $34M and says: “There's no reason we shouldn't have goals to be in that realm — or more." Drake goes on to say he's "pretty darn deep" into talks with alcohol brands and expects to have multiple sponsors in place ahead of football season, adding: "We are not interested in beer and spirit brands dominating the landscape. We're interested in weaving them into what is already a killer experience at Memorial and Littlejohn and (Doug) Kingsmore (Stadium).” Drake also points to the Watt Family Athletic Performance and Wellness Center, which has a third-floor bistro that could be turned into something like a sports bar. Fans that don't have a ticket in Memorial Stadium could buy one for Watt and watch the game there. Drake: “Certainly, generate revenue. but it's just an experience-enhancer." (link); Blau also shares a look at the Watt bistro. (link)

CBS’ Matt Norlander examines how the House settlement will impact Players Era Festival payouts, and Alabama AD Greg Byrne explains that “UA has a standard agreement with Players Era for the basketball tournament that covers transportation and travel costs. Players Era has separate NIL agreements with the student-athletes for each of the participating schools to pay them for marketing, sponsorship, and endorsement activities that will be done separately from the event and in a manner consistent with the new NIL Go procedures." Another AD who asked not to be named raised the issue of foreign-born college players playing in the event, and Norlander notes that “schools may need to get creative with how their collective deals are paid out months after the Players Era Festival has finished.” Another issue involves how the money will be split among the teams, which is a decision schools will make individually. One HC in the event says: "If you want to give a player $70K, that would be clean, but one guy getting $400K, probably not. You would think there would probably be a line there. I'm not sure what it is, I'm not Deloitte, but north of six figures seems too much." (link)

It’s Personnel…

+ The College Sports Commission has informed Sportico’s Daniel Libit that it “won’t be sharing compensation information for its employees,” and Libit notes: “On one hand, the rebuff is not exactly shocking. The CSC is a for-profit, limited liability company, and such entities—if not publicly traded—are under no legal duty to open their books. On the other hand, this is an entity built on promises of openness and accountability, assuming a role that directly affects the rights and compensation of college athletes. The commission oversees all NIL deals over $600 involving athletes and entities outside their schools. Moreover, as Sportico has previously reported, the CSC has assumed the mien of a nonprofit and suggested it plans to act accordingly.” (link)

+ St. Thomas AD Phil Esten has been appointed to a four-year term on the FCS Committee. (link)

+ Utah State promotes Assoc. AD for Compliance Tony Hearrell to Senior Assoc. AD for Compliance & Student-Athlete Services.

He will also gain responsibilities as a sports administrator for softball and men's golf and will serve as a member of the athletics executive team.” (link)

Bemidji State AD Britt Lauritsen tells the Bemidji Pioneer’s Jared Rubado that “we’re opting out [of the House settlement] for a lot of reasons. Being a multi-divisional institution and being a multi-conference school, we don’t really know how the House settlement is going to impact schools like us. We have a little bit of time, and I like to frame the next 12 months or so as a viewing period for how this actually looks for the schools that can’t opt out.” Lauritsen also cites roster limits and notes that “we know there’s nuance to that now, but for our programs sitting at 27, 28 student-athletes, that helps us. It gives us depth. Women’s hockey is a great example. … When you have injuries that mount on top of each other, that stuff matters. If you don’t think there’s a big difference between 26 and 28 players, think about those two other players being goalies. What would we have done [after injuries to two goalkeepers last season]?” Lauritsen goes on to remark: “At the end of the day, you have to figure out what attracts athletes to your institution. For me, I’m looking at it like this: if you’re a school that can afford to give out 19 scholarships, that’s great. But if that’s your only purpose to opt in, you can probably do that with the 18 scholarships and Alston money.” (link)

Bowling Green has experienced a 92% increase in households making an annual gift to athletics over the past three years along with a 44% uptick in annual giving dollars. Neither figure includes major gifts. (link, link)

According to the NCAA, “tampering violations occurred in the Oklahoma State women’s tennis program when head coach Chris Young impermissibly communicated with three transfer prospects. During the investigation, Young failed to cooperate when he instructed a student-athlete to withhold information from the enforcement staff. He also violated head coach responsibility rules.” Penalties include a four-year show-cause for Young, three years of probation; a fine of $35K, plus 1% of the women’s tennis program budget; and a reduction by 18% of the average number of official visits (based on the previous four years), among others.

Legal Matters…

+ North Carolina Governor Josh Stein has signed into law a bill that exempts NIL contracts from public records, and Heitner Legal Founder Darren Heitner adds: “North Carolina is now also 1 of the few states to update its sports agent law to account for NIL's role in college athletics. It distinguishes a pro sports services agency contract from an NIL agency contract and requires different language in each agreement.” (link)

+ Former Tennessee men’s basketball student-athlete Zakai Zeigler has dropped his federal appeal for a fifth year of eligibility, according to the Knoxville News Sentinel’s Mike Wilson, who notes that Zeigler’s lawsuit against the NCAA will continue. Zeigler’s attorneys explain in a statement: "While we had hoped to see Zakai back in orange and white, he’s embracing the next chapter of his basketball career with optimism and resolve. We remain committed to pressing his case forward in the trial court, where the core legal issues remain very much alive." (link)

+ Sportico’s Michael McCann takes a look at how the NCAA and former Wisconsin football student-athlete Nyzier Fourqurean are using the House settlement to make their cases against and for Fourqurean’s continued eligibility despite having played four years (including two in DII). In a June 19 letter to the Seventh Circuit, Fourqurean’s attorney, Michael P. Crooks stressed the revenue portion feature of the settlement and called it “direct evidence of the increasingly commercial nature of Division I college athletics.” Crooks added, in his view, the settlement “further illustrates the now direct correlation between eligibility and compensation, as only those eligible to play Division I college athletics at NCAA member institutions will be allowed to receive this compensation.” NCAA attorney Rakesh Kilaru argues the settlement actually hurts Fourqurean’s position in that it “expressly affirms the commitment of the NCAA and its member institutions to the Five-Year Rule.” He quoted language from the settlement stating that allows the NCAA and conferences to mandate that athletes can play four seasons in five years. Kilaru further noted that Wisconsin and the Big Ten are parties to the settlement and have endorsed it. In addition, Kilaru reiterated that the five-year rule “preserves the difference between college and professional sports, and thus preserves collegiate athletics as a distinct product.” Both sides are now awaiting a decision from the Seventh Circuit.

+ Boise State assistant professor Sam Ehrlich reveals that “eligibility lawsuit #24 was filed earlier this week: this one by ex-College of Charleston basketball player Derrin Boyd. He claims he had a $350K NIL offer from Vanderbilt that he would be able to take but for the NCAA's Five-Year Clock rule. Notably, this is our first eligibility lawsuit by a former NAIA player, as Boyd started at Georgetown College. NAIA is included in the Pavia waiver, but the Pavia waiver only applies to athletes still within their five-year clocks and Boyd is not. Boyd has also filed a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to allow him to play in 2025-26 (and find a place for him to do so). Intriguingly, this case has been filed in the same court that heard Diego Pavia's case -- Boyd is a Nashville resident and he's invoking his withdrawn offer to Vanderbilt, allowing him to file in that jurisdiction. No word yet on whether it's been assigned to the same judge.” (link)

Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger reports that Sun Belt executives held meetings yesterday about expansion but no decision is imminent. “The league will continue discussions on adding a member or staying at 13 schools. Several possible expansion targets were discussed, most notably Louisiana Tech. While remaining at 13 schools means a slight increase in revenue distribution with Texas State's exit, the decision comes with complications, including the potential elimination of divisions in football, the reconfiguration of schedules and higher travel expense[s] for schools. Sun Belt expansion targets in Conference USA would be faced with a large price tag to leave. Exiting CUSA schools owe two years of distribution and must buy out of the conference's grant-of-rights - a total expected to be at least $5M and as much as $10M.” (link)

Tennessee AD Danny White was the highest-paid public school AD in the country for 2024-25, bringing home a total of $3.35M. White’s contract allows a maximum of $600K in bonuses within an academic year. Without the cap, his incentive bonus would’ve totaled $632,500. The Knoxville News Sentinel’s Adam Sparks breaks down all of White’s bonuses: $247,500 (9% of base salary) for Learfield Directors’ Cup top 10 finish; $137,500 (5%) for Academic Progress Rate high score; $82,500 (3%) for football making College Football Playoff; $82,500 (3%) for men’s basketball reaching Sweet 16 (no additional bonus for reaching Elite 8); and $82,500 (3%) for women’s basketball reaching Sweet 16. Sparks notes that Texas AD Chris Del Conte had a similar base salary of $2.525M, but his bonuses were capped at $250K. Texas Tech AD Kirby Hocutt, Oklahoma AD Joe Castiglione, Texas A&M AD Trev Alberts, Ohio State’s Ross Bjork and Michigan AD Warde Manuel are among the other highest-paid ADs among publicly available schools.

Kansas State AD Gene Taylor joins Sports Illustrated’s Bryan Fischer from the 2025 NACDA Convention to share his perspective on the House settlement, discuss the biggest challenges for the Wildcats as they navigate this next phase, explain how he's adapting conversations with donors and more. When it comes to talking to donors, Taylor points out the Wildcats’ “facility needs have been pretty well taken care of. We’ve been very fortunate. We got a lot of our massive facility projects done and behind us, and they’re all fairly new. That’s part of the messaging. We’re not going to come back to you in the next five to six, seven years with another massive capital campaign. This is our capital campaign and here’s why it’s important. Some understand it better than others. Some you need to have a little more one-on-one and lengthy conversations, but they do know it’s not going to stay static at the $20.5M, that it’s going to continue to go up.” Taylor also says for donors who’d rather not contribute to revenue-sharing, “we have scholarship needs, we have operational needs. We have salary needs. We want to keep good coaches.” Full conversation now on Collegiate Sports Connect. (link)

More from NBC’s Nicole Auerbach on the new world of revenue sharing as Oklahoma AD Joe Castiglione weighs in: “I do know that there are any number of people out there that don’t want this to work. There will undoubtedly be challenges to both the process as well as what one entity deems as fair market value versus another entity thinking that it’s a fair market value agreement. We’re again expecting there to be some bumps. Part of that is clarity in the process but also focus and discipline and following through on enforcement because people are still of a mind to believe it when they see it. … This is not, in its current form, a long-term solution. It’s not. It’s something that we have to make work now, as we work on a better path for exchanging rights and compensation to athletes that has a more durable element to it with contracts that can stand up to conflicts and pressure.” Learfield EVP for NIL Growth & Development Solly Fulp: “Real NIL is the exchange of goods and services between a student-athlete and a brand partner. I think that that was what it was intended to be all along.” (link)

Toledo AD Bryan Blair talks about the Rockets’ decision to make a significant financial commitment to volleyball, telling the Toledo Blade’s Kyle Rowland: “It’s the fastest-growing women's sport in America. It just overtook women’s basketball. As you think about youth and the demographic changes, what’s coming next from a pipeline standpoint, there are more young ladies in that sport than ever before. When you combine the demographic shifts with the popularity, it almost becomes a no-brainer, frankly, for a school in our climate. We’ve got a lot of great sports, and I certainly don’t put this one above any others, but I think the revenue upside versus the investment needed tells a different story and really puts a finger on why you should invest.” (link)

Six female student-athletes have filed a federal Title IX class action lawsuit, accusing Stephen F. Austin of violating sex discrimination laws after the school earlier this year eliminated women’s golf, bowling and beach volleyball. Sportico’s Daniel Libit: “According to the lawsuit, the affected athletes – including beach volleyball players and bowlers – were informed their programs were being shuttered via a series of 10-minute Zoom calls on the morning of May 22. The cuts were effective immediately, a move the plaintiffs characterize as ‘stunning’ in both its timing and delivery.” The athletes also, per Libit, argue that the programs’ cuts have “‘exacerbated’ the school’s longstanding pattern of Title IX noncompliance, pointing to a “glaring example” in the 2022–23 Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act data showing that female athletes received only 34.8% of varsity athletic opportunities at the university despite women comprising 62.8% of the undergraduate student body.” Libit also notes the plaintiffs are represented by a legal team which includes noted Title IX attorneys Arthur Bryant, John Clune, Ashlyn Hare and local Texas counsel James L. Sowder. Both Bryant and Clune have represented separate groups of objectors to the House v. NCAA settlement, with Clune having filed notice of an appeal last on behalf of his clients. (link)

Penn will update records set by transgender swimmer Lia Thomas and apologize to female athletes "disadvantaged" by Thomas' participation on the women's swimming team, part of a resolution of a federal civil rights case. As part of the agreement, Penn will restore all individual DI swimming records and titles to female athletes who lost out to Thomas and send a personalized apology letter to each of those swimmers, according to the Education Department. Penn President Larry Jameson: "While Penn's policies during the 2021-2022 swim season were in accordance with NCAA eligibility rules at the time, we acknowledge that some student-athletes were disadvantaged by these rules. We recognize this and will apologize to those who experienced a competitive disadvantage or experienced anxiety because of the policies in effect at the time. … Our commitment to ensuring a respectful and welcoming environment for all of our students is unwavering. At the same time, we must comply with federal requirements, including executive orders, and NCAA eligibility rules, so our teams and student-athletes may engage in competitive intercollegiate sports."

James Moore & Co. Partner Katie Davis and Director Shane Metzler highlight the key changes in the 2025 NCAA Agreed-Upon Practices (AUP) Guide. Those changes impact institutional NIL revenue share, Alston awards, postseason expenses, NCAA and conference distributions and facilities and maintenance operations. On postseason expenses, they write: “Institutions are now required to report all post-season expenses by sport – not just football bowl games. This change provides greater visibility into the budgetary impact of NCAA championship participation across all athletic programs. This includes adding a new subcategory (41B) to capture additional post-season football expenses, and the introduction of a new category (42, 42A, 42B) to include post-season expenses related to all other sports. The category definitions for Coaching Compensation (22 & 23), Team Travel (28), Sports, Equipment, Uniforms and Supplies (29), Game Expenses (30), and Spirit Groups (33) were also updated to note that any expenses related to NCAA championships should be reported in categories 41 (football) or 42 (non-football).” Full breakdown.

+ As part of the Senate’s recently passed reconciliation bill, dubbed as the “Big Beautiful Bill,” higher ed institutions with fewer than 3,000 students will be exempted from taxes on their endowments. Inside Higher Ed’s Jessica Blake provides more context: “Originally introduced in 2017 under the first Trump administration, the current 1.4% tax on investments only applies to a select few of the wealthiest colleges that had more than $500K in endowment value per student. Under the first draft of the Senate bill, colleges would pay different rates depending on the value of their endowment per student, and some could pay as much as 8%. The tax applied to any college that receives federal financial aid and enrolls more than 500 students. But the rate hike faced a lot of pushback, particularly from small liberal arts colleges that argued the tax would be debilitating and harm their ability to provide low-income students with scholarships. The Senate finance committee appears to have listened.” (link)
