Big East Commissioner Val Ackerman was the inaugural guest on JohnWallStreet’s Business of College Sports podcast & talked about the comparison between Power 4 rev share budgets & those in her league: “They're able to benefit from their football revenue. We don't have that revenue. So frankly, they have an advantage right now because they have a higher level of resources than we have. That said, they have a higher level of expense as well because their football revenues, as best I can tell, have to be used in large part to pay their football expenses and that will include direct payments to their athletes under the revenue sharing model. We will not be paying, our schools will not have, I can't speak for all of them, but my sense is our schools aren't going to be making payments to the athletes for football. So that does allow us to prioritize basketball in this revenue sharing world. And while I can't really share with you spending levels or anything like that, I can say our schools are going to lean into that. Basketball is the most important sport on our campuses. We're not competing with football for that privilege, if you will. And our schools, it's critically important to them to be nationally relevant and competitive in that sport. We've got a great track record of success. Our schools want to keep that going. How they plan to do that is really going to be on them, how they're going to raise money to do that, how they're going to manage expenses to be able to do that, what support they're going to need internally from their alumni bases, et cetera. [...] I can tell you that we have coaches in our league who have been at football oriented schools, and they tell us, they tell me it's a very different environment for them to be at a school where basketball's not the number one sport. [...] It's always a priority here and always drives our conversations. I think for a coach that's part of the calculation when they decide where they want to be. If it's a basketball coach, especially, do I want to be someplace where maybe the resources are more significant, assuming they're directed my way, or do I want to be someplace where maybe the resources aren't quite the same way because there's not football money coming in, but the focus on basketball really is clear. And so I think it's a mix of reasons that our coaches are migrating here.” More. (link)

Another key note from American Conference Commissioner Tim Pernetti: “We are rolling out player availability for this season and I want to just tip my cap to the coaches. They spent a lot of time on this with [Assoc. Commissioner for Football] Jaime Hixson and [Senior Dir. of Football Ops and Sport Administration] Shane Elder and our football group at the conference. Again, we're not reacting to anything. We certainly saw it unfold last year. I took the job in June last year and I think we're a little behind the eight ball on that, but our coaches did a really great job having a thoughtful process about, okay, well what's everybody else doing? But we'll put that over here, what works for us? So we will start player availability reporting this season. Player availability will be a game day reporting system and I think it's an important modernization for where we are as a conference.” (link)

Virginia AD Carla Williams on the latest episode of the Inside Virginia Athletics podcast in connection to constant student-athlete talent movement across the industry: “We've talked about this with several of our coaches, because change, you could take two roads with change. You could experience the change and not adjust, or you could accept the change and look for the opportunity to really flourish. And I think if you think about regular students across the country, there are hundreds of one year graduate programs, hundreds of two year graduate programs that doesn't make those graduates any less of an alum to those schools, including UVa. We have a lot of graduate student athletes, which to me is one of those unintended consequences. Those things that you don't know you're going to have happen until it happens. But people that really value education, they've earned their undergraduate degree and have eligibility and chosen to come to a place like UVa to get a UVa graduate degree. That's right. I mean, to me, we applaud that. We think that while you're being a Division I Power 4 athlete, whether they have one year of eligibility or two years of eligibility or five years of eligibility, they have all chosen Virginia for the same reasons. We love Virginia. So they are our student athletes and this is their school, and that's how they see it.” Lots more. (link)

Washington AD Pat Chun joined the Canzano & Wilner podcast from Big Ten media days, and says college athletics remain slow to adjust to change around it, including the College Football Playoff selection format. Chun: “The longer I’m in this business of college sports, the more I recognize our inability to evolve quickly has really been to our own detriment. The whole world has changed significantly. When you look at the 4-4-2-2-1 model, it takes a lot of the human element out of selecting what the playoff field would look like. I’m in the camp that that’s actually the right thing for the future of the sport.” More Chun: “There’s no perfect solution. College football is inherently flawed in its structure, so when you start from that point and know that a selection committee simply has not worked, you end up with members of the media getting death threats, members of the committee getting death threats. There’s a perceived subjectivity, even with all the data points that are available. At least in the proposed model, it shrinks the work of the committee to just a few.” (link)

In a sit down chat with WSAV’s Joey Lamar, Georgia Southern AD Chris Davis says the Eagles will be in the seven figures for rev share, but declines to break it down by sport. When asked about discussions of a reworked media rights deal for the Sun Belt, Davis: “We’re looking at everything really. You know what it’s really driving? A curious mind and an area of saying is this the best way to look at it? Are we positioned? Because just you want to create more opportunities to have a different TV rights deal or whatever? You can’t [do that]. We’re contractually obligated right now. We’re in a contract. But that doesn’t mean that the preparation on how you’re doing it and realizing that the Sun Belt has some real uniqueness. If there ever was an opportunity to do like patches on the jerseys because there’s talk about that. For instance, last year we had the logo on the field. We were one of the first schools to do the logo on the field in the whole country. That’s a credit to our Georgia Southern Sports Properties and Terry Harmon and that group. But when that happened — here’s a question — if you did it conference-wide could you generate more revenue? That’s a curious mind attitude.” (link)

Hawaii AD Matt Elliott pens a letter to fans regarding the Rainbow Warriors’ approach to the House settlement and explains: “We are actively building a model that combines revenue sharing, roster limits, and scholarship allotments that will be consistent with our vision for excellence. This work requires benchmarking our program against our peers, appraising current student-athlete benefits, assessing the availability of resources now and in the future, and understanding the needs of our coaches to recruit and retain elite student-athletes. The model will be consistent with the values of the University while recognizing the contributions that our student-athletes make to the programs and the entire community. Our goal is to be the premier athletics program in the Mountain West and Big West conferences and we invite everyone to play a role in our success. … The reality of college athletics is that the model will continue to evolve. What will not change is that incredible human beings will have the opportunity to earn college degrees at our world-class institution, the University of Hawai'i, while pursuing their athletic dreams. A big part of our mission is to develop our student-athletes to become the next leaders of society. Many have and will continue to do that right here in Hawai'i. This pipeline will brighten the future for all of us and generations to come. Along the way, we will come together as a community, experience the joy of sports, and watch UH teams inspire us all.” (link)

Kansas Men’s Basketball HC Bill Self has been released from the hospital, two days after having a pair of stents inserted. Self: “I want to thank all the amazing doctors and nurses at LMH Health for the excellent care I received during my stay there. I feel strong and am excited to be home. Our team has had a productive summer and look forward to our batteries being recharged and prepping for this upcoming season.” (link)

Taking into account three seasons of data for coaching hires via CBS Sports’ Candid Coaches rankings, transfer rankings via EvanMiya and recruiting rankings via 247Sports, Heat Check CBB’s Lukas Harkins dives into how various program-building strategies have fared and observes that “none of the categories analyzed for this article have been more impactful than hiring a big name coach.” Specifically, “of the 34 coaches to receive votes for ‘best hire’ in CBS Sports’ Candid Coaches series over the last three years, 24 improved their program’s KenPom finish from the prior season – nine by 60+ spots. Harkins cites Louisville and West Virginia as examples of finding the “perfect recipe for an immediate bounce-back” and explains that “of the 30 top-10 transfer classes over the last three off seasons, seven were secured by Candid Coaches’ top-rated new hires. Six of those seven improved their new program’s finish from the year before, doing so by an average of 63.5 spots.” For teams who don’t need a roster overhaul, Harkins emphasizes the need to make sure that one big transfer is the last missing (or starring) piece. “All that being said, there are a near-equal number of these situations that haven’t panned out for one reason or another. Of the 30 programs since 2022 that had a top transfer but not a top-10 class, there were more double-digit drops in the rankings than there were double-digit leaps.” While recruiting freshmen has taken a backseat to the portal in many cases, it’s still an important part of building a roster. Harkins advises: “A single top-rated recruit likely won’t propel dramatic improvement by himself. But if they can be a supplemental piece to players already set in star positions, big leaps can come.” More. (link)

Baylor Bear Foundation Executive Director Chris Lynn joins College.town’s Kristen Eargle in the latest episode of The Career Hustle. Lynn, whose career has included stops at UTEP, Louisiana Tech and Western Kentucky, talks about some of his mentors along the way, challenges he’s overcome, the importance of continued education and lots more. Lynn also emphasizes the importance of being passionate: “Just the amount of hours that we work and everything pours into it, the sacrifices you have to make, you have to be passionate. … Early on, I came up with some short-term and long-term goals I really tried to stay aligned with, but then as time went on I adjusted the goals to whatever was happening. I think that was another thing, just trying to be flexible, always trying to network any way I possibly could, get to know as many people as possible, be visible on social media…just being active. With your career position, people see your name and they recognize your name.” Lynn also explains that a lot of growth happens when “you go into [an initial] meeting and you don’t ask for anything. And then on the back end you come out following up. A lot of those initial meetings, that’s how you build trust with donors. That’s how I’ve been able to do it. I’ve just tried to be as genuine as possible and just tried to go the extra mile to keep communication open with them.” Full Q&A on Collegiate Sports Connect. (link)

Virginia Tech will investigate claims by North Carolina Central Football HC Trei Oliver that a Hokies assistant coach was on the Eagles sideline for a game last year, “recruiting our running back.” Virginia Tech’s statement: “This is the first time the issue has been brought to our attention, and no concern has previously been shared with us through any formal channel. Virginia Tech takes all NCAA rules seriously and is committed to conducting our program with integrity. We are reviewing the matter internally and will address any findings appropriately.” (link)

The Toledo Blade’s David Briggs polled 15 MAC football student-athletes about the temptations to transfer, why they stayed and how they’re handling the “chaos” of the new world of college athletics. One response on the temptations: “The biggest number I heard was a million. But I had to think about the long run. You can’t think about the short term. That’s what was in my head. I want to make it to the league and get that long money — the real money. The grass isn’t always greener.” Another response on how opposing coaches will try to communicate: “They reach out in a number of ways. They try not to be egregious with breaking the rules. I had people reach out to my high school coaches and my agent. Or coaches will ‘accidentally’ text me: ‘Oh, I thought you were in the portal.’ They get creative. I’d get phone calls from my home area code thinking it’s somebody I know. And they’re like, ‘Hey, this is a friend of the head coach.’ I try not to be rude, but I shot it down. … It’s definitely challenging. The money I heard was close to seven figures, but what’s best for me is here.” On things they’ve spent NIL money? More and better food was the most common answer, followed by saving and investing. The group also revealed their favorite and lease favorite stadiums in the conference. (link)

Hero Sports’ Sam Herder checks in with several FCS student-athletes to gather their thoughts on NIL, revenue sharing and the transfer portal, and Illinois State’s Jake Anderson says: “It’s hard to keep track of all of it. But [Illinois State] does a good job holding meetings and stuff to make sure we know everything that’s going on as much as we can…until they change it the next time.” South Dakota State defensive lineman Kobe Clayborne: “I like change, so I love it. Just being a younger guy and wanting to get into football, it’s cool to see and being able to experience it as a player. Because then having that experience as a player will help if I do ever go into coaching. But I think it’s cool. I think that it is the Wild, Wild West. I do think there needs to be some regulations and rules because what’s going on out there sometimes is crazy. And it’s out of players’ control. It’s out of coaches’ control. There are people, third parties, that are entering, and that causes a lot of commotion and corruption, really. And so I think there does need to be regulations. But overall, for the players’ aspects, I think it has benefited us as athletes.” North Dakota State’s Logan Kopp: “I don’t pay a lot of attention to it. I rarely go on social media and don’t have any social media on my phone for over a year now. I think that’s a big part of it is I don’t buy into what someone behind a phone screen is going to say about NDSU, about our players, about our coaches, the FCS, or about the Missouri Valley. I’m worried about the NDSU Bison, the players in the locker room with me, the coaches that coach us, and the fans that are cheering us on. Anybody else we try to drown out the noise.” More. (link)

More Pernetti at the Podium…
+ American Conference Commissioner Tim Pernetti yesterday from the league’s Football Media Day in Charlotte. Notable high-level thoughts: “It's time to stop apologizing for wanting to generate more revenue and running a business. Our business is investing in college athletics. College athletics, and I say this to all of our presidents every chance I get, is the single strongest marketing arm of any university. It creates more exposure, more interest, more applications, and more enrollment in any business. You have to just start with your goals. What's our North star? I know what ours is. To create opportunities for young people to play sports, go to college, earn a degree, set them up for their lives. I can say this stuff because I'm a product of this system and to this day, even though it's been 30 years, I'm a huge believer in it. Athletics teaches us so many things that will differentiate student athletes from everybody else. [...] Instead of cutting sports and cutting roster spots in response to the House settlement, we should be adding them by creating new opportunities, new sports, new roster spots for full enrollment, non-scholarship student athletes to compete in athletics. Universities can generate incremental tuition and revenue while deepening affinity, creating more community and expanding their access. This isn't just good for student athletes in college sports. This is great for the bottom line. At universities, the industry needs revenue. Let's add sports, let's add spots, let's get on offense and turn campus-wide challenges into growth opportunities.”
+ On the potential value of consolidated media rights across the FBS: “No single conference or private capital firm in the world can match the upside of collective action. A common sense solution is to unify our media rights across FBS, just like the pro leagues do. We can dramatically increase the total revenue and create a financially sustainable model for the future. There's a pie of revenue out there, but the pie can be so much bigger for every institution and the American. We're not trying to eat off anybody else's plate. We believe the Autonomy Four deserve more revenue given the value they bring in television, viewership, attendance, sponsorship and more. But I've seen the potential upside of consolidation. I've seen the numbers. They're backed up by data. Revenues can triple.”
+ On reports of Memphis’ push to join the Big 12: “I admire their ambition. I was an athletic director years ago when I took Rutgers into the Big Ten. Your job is to do what you think is best for your school and I also give them credit for having the guts to go after it. Having said all that, as I said in my speech, the important thing to remember is this. We're not surprised by it. And we're building strong, resilient programs in the conference so when these things happen, they're not a surprise. I'm very encouraged that our membership continues to operate in a transparent manner as these things come around.”
+ On the transfer portal: “What the hell are we doing? The current structure is a threat to the game. It’s a threat to culture, a threat to coaches trying to build their programs. It’s a threat to young people, because constant movement de-emphasizes commitment, and the true benefits of college sports. We need one portal window, at the appropriate time of the year. Student-athletes should absolutely have the opportunity to transfer, one time, freely. Coaches change. Family situations change. It’s reasonable. But beyond that transfer, maybe additional transfers should perhaps require a year in waiting.”
+ As for the league’s new branding initiative: “This is an intentional strategic evolution of who we are and what differentiates us and it creates a pathway to business growth, commercial growth, a bigger national presence and increasing our competitive position. A brand is more than a logo. And you know what? The numbers proved it. We turned this thing on Monday and lemme tell you what happened. 1,600 media stories and mentions a potential reach of over 1 billion with a B people. We saw an estimated 3.5M views and most notably generated almost $10M in earned media advertising value. That's what happens when you spend a year getting on offense, telling your story and you have clarity and confidence and purpose. I want to thank Carrie Cecil and Hunter Ruetz from ANACHEL and my entire staff of the American for their unified effort to bring this brand to life.”

The Las Cruces-Sun News’ Nick Coppola updates on the New Mexico State AD search: “Just talked with NMSU Chief of Staff Justin Bannister, who will be chairing the search committee for NMSU’s AD search. He says, by his interpretation, the search is underway as NMSU has officially started working with Parker Executive Search. The committee has also convened. However, NMSU has not taken any applications yet. The current plan is for a release to be put out next week, which will be NMSU’s first official announcement regarding its decision to start a national AD search. This will include details that I have previously reported on along with additional info, including the size and membership of the search committee.” (link); For those wanting to get involved, use the D1.dossier for the NMSU opening to help you win the job.

“Either you adapt or die. You think about evolution. Evolution is always about those that can adapt. We're executing a plan moving forward that we believe will give us the best opportunities to be successful in the playing fields. If you're not ready to be adaptable and nimble, those are entities that don't survive evolution. This is a new landscape, and I feel great about our plan moving forward.” That’s Texas AD Chris Del Conte, who also indicates the Longhorns are “following a little bit” of the 75-15-5-5 revenue share splits framework. More: “I'm confident for as long as we're disciplined (we'll be able to pay for this). We have a plan in place, and as long as we're disciplined financially, I'm very confident that we'll be able to do that. I know we'll be able to do that. That's the plan, but you just have to be disciplined.” (link)

Northwestern AD Mark Jackson joined Yogi Roth on the new The Process podcast as the pair dive into Jackson’s path to the big chair in Evanston. In regards to the current industry landscape, Jackson: “Look, I'm not a confrontational person. I want to be liked. I want to say yes, I want to do those kinds of things. But if I'm going back to my most important F in my family in a lot of ways, right? Any family, you got to have tough love. [...] I have 21 sports, and some are going to get revenue sharing and some aren't. That's a hard decision to make at a place like this. And you have 500 student athletes and you want to be competitive, and we're not going to take any steps backwards, but some are going to move forward quicker than others. So those are the realities of the world we're in. And higher ed right now is in a tough place, so we have to be cognizant of that. [...] I am one of the ones that believes the House case, if implemented and enforced the right way will allow for transparency around the marketplace, about really what we should be investing into student athletes as it relates to rev share and NIL and beyond. Already, you can see the role of the collective right now is in the crosshairs. It's like, well, our collective does this, our collective does that. What once was 20 and a half million dollars? How are we going to get there? Well, now people are like, well, how do I get to 40? This is how I'm going to get to 40. So it's still murky, it's still gray. I wish I had a better answer for you, but I think until we move away from being so self-interested and really, really committed towards advancing our industry together, we're going to be stuck in this for a while.” (link)

Speaking on FOX News, retired Alabama Football HC Nick Saban gave his support for President Donald Trump’s executive order on college athletics, saying it “takes a huge step in providing the educational model that has always been what we’ve tried to promote to create opportunities for players, male and female, revenue and non-revenue, so they can have development as people, students, (to) develop careers and develop professionally.” Saban said the choice is now between an education-based model or what would be university-sponsored professional teams. “I think most people would choose the former.” Saban said the public should know that in football and men’s basketball, in the current college sports economy, “two sports have created a revenue to have 20 other sports.” He said it’s important to protect the opportunity for men’s and women’s Olympic sports. Asked about any potential return to coaching, Saban joked that he hadn’t considered it until his wife Terry asked him to sweep the downstairs of their home. “The thought occurred to me: When you were coaching, you had a heck of a lot better job than this. That’s the only time I considered it.” (link)

Fresno State AD Garrett Klassy describes how the Pac-12 is a step up from the Mountain West: “The obvious reason is we’re partnering with Oregon State and Washington State, two Power 5 institutions, and we’re partnering with the premier brands from the Mountain West to create something bigger and better. And the reality is we are the schools that have the exposure. We love our peers that are staying in the Mountain West, but we’ve invested in athletics and we’re partnering with a premier brand – the Pac-12 is an historic brand. And we know it’s not the same Pac-12, but we’re doing something unprecedented in college athletics history: rebuilding an historic conference. And it’s an honor to be part of that.” Klassy also says the upcoming Shakira concert will generate revenue that will be used to attribute directly to student-athlete retention and recruitment. The Bulldogs also plan to have a logo sponsor finalized by the start of football season. (link)

Extra Points publisher Matt Brown catches up with Augusta (DII) AD Ryan Erlacher to discuss the school’s decision to opt into the House settlement for golf, and Erlacher explains: “There’s something remarkable about playing golf in Augusta, and we certainly have Augusta National and the Masters to thank for that.” Augusta won back-to-back men’s national titles in 2010 and 2011, has produced more than two dozen All-Americans and has won 25 conference titles. Brown notes the “women’s team is no slouch either, with 11 NCAA regional appearances and a 2023 appearance in the NCAA championship.” Erlacher: “I would say Augusta has been a fairly consistent program, outside of the power conferences, to compete in the sport of golf at the national level. If you compare what our golf programs have to offer against other golf programs at the power conferences, you would be surprised how similar we are. Our goal is to win conference championships [in the Southland], but we expect to compete for regional and national championships, year in and year out.” What does opting in mean in practical terms for Augusta? Erlacher: “We like the flexibility of being able to expand scholarship opportunities, should we choose to do so. We are currently having conversations about NIL and collectives on our campus, but those two areas were not a deciding factor for us to opt in. For us, if we want to be able to compete with the best golf programs across the country, we felt it was necessary for us to opt in. The emphasis was placed on expanding scholarship opportunities; the roster limitations were not a concern for us.” (link)

Since announcing in May that it would add women’s flag football, UT Arlington, which discontinued its football team in 1985, has heard from multiple companies in the Dallas-Fort Worth area inquiring about sponsorship opportunities, including several that advertise specifically to women, Front Office Sports’ Andrew Goodrich reports. Mavs AD Jon Fagg: “It feels like there’s a lot of opportunity in flag football, regardless of anything else going on in the country. I think women’s flag football has a great potential to appeal with NIL. It’s a new women’s sport about to be in the Olympics, there are just products and organizations out there that want to be a part of those kind of things. We’ve already had an uptick in our sponsorships, and we’re still basically two years out. We’ve already had a couple of companies come and say, ‘I want to get involved right now, because I know that flag football is coming.’” Mount St. Mary’s, which disbanded its football program in 2003, is also bullish on flag, and Mountaineers AD Brad Davis says: “I think eventually everyone’s going to have this, and it’s going to be on the NFL Network in the spring, and it’s going to be a huge deal. But going on across college athletics, obviously, people were hitting pause a little bit on what to do with some of their sports. So we saw a window where we can be distinctive and unique and get ahead of the curve.” Meanwhile, UTA would have to spend upwards of $2M to transform its football stadium, which still hosts high school football, into a soccer pitch, and Fagg notes the infrastructure for flag football is already in place. Roster sizes for flag will be comparable to soccer with 18 to 30 on the team, with UTA planning to give out several scholarships. (link)

John Ourand’s The Varsity podcast has Sports Business Journal’s Bret McCormick talking about real estate development as a new revenue source for sports entities: “Real estate is such a long-term play that I think it’s more of another asset class for sports owners. It’s another consistent source of revenue. If you think about during the pandemic, the (Atlanta) Braves played games without fans, but they still had rent checks coming in from the people who lived in the apartments. … It is another steady income stream, and one of the most appealing aspects of it for owners is they don’t have to share it with anybody else. Mix-used development revenue, so far, has stayed out of collective bargaining agreements. I’d be really interested to see if that remains, still, because I think players could make the case that the reason people come to the venues that are now the anchors of these developments is to see the players.” Lots more.
