The College Sports Commission says Deloitte erred in data released earlier in the week that stated nearly $80M in NIL deals had been cleared to date through NIL Go. That data point is closer to $35M according to the correction. Specifically, per The Athletic’s Ralph Russo: “The College Sports Commission’s originally reported 8,359 NIL deals worth $79.8 million had been cleared, but those numbers represent what was in the NIL Go system as of the end of August. The new data released Friday said 6,090 deals worth $35.42 million have actually been cleared.” (link); The Collective Association subsequently released a statement: “The recent correction of CSC’s NIL data highlights exactly what collectives have been experiencing: a system lacking clarity, accuracy, and speed. With even more deals pending than previously reported, more student-athletes face unacceptable delays and uncertainty in accessing the resources they depend on for basic needs like rent, transportation, and education-related expenses. TCA and its members remain committed to working with the CSC to implement improvements—such as real-time support, transparent deal tracking, and clear evaluation guidelines—that will restore confidence in the system and ensure timely opportunities for student-athletes. Without meaningful change, we risk undermining the promise of NIL and returning to an inequitable environment that hurts the very athletes these reforms were intended to serve.” (link); Here’s the full data review from the CSC.

Ohio State AD Ross Bjork maxed out his bonuses in his first year leading the Buckeyes, collecting $250K. Most of the bonus pay was the result of academic achievements. Bjork received $100K as all teams averaged a 3.4 GPA between the fall and spring semesters, as well as $50K for a 97% job placement rate among its student-athletes. The remaining $100K was tied to championships and postseason participation in various sports. The guaranteed compensation package for Bjork includes $1.65M for his annual base salary, $350K for media, promotions and public relations and an additional $60K in fringe benefits. (link)

When asked about the future of its nonconference football schedule, Georgia AD Josh Brooks offered: “A lot of that is going to be determined as we learn when and where our schedule is going to be the next few weeks. That's something we're attacking right now to see what our options are going to be for '26. We're going to take it one year at a time right now. The first focus is going to be on '26 and then '27 and moving on.” For his part, Dawgs Football HC Kirby Smart: “I think it depends on the year and how far out we’re talking about. I mean, we’re going to play Georgia Tech as far as I know, that’s going to continue, right? And then you’d like to have an opportunity to play an opener or a big-time kickoff neutral-site game. We’ve played in a lot of those. I enjoy those. That still leaves one more if I’m doing my math right, and who knows? Media has controlled this thing, and television has done a lot with this thing. There’s been a lot of exposure, and who knows what the future holds?” Georgia has games lined up with Florida State, Louisville and Georgia Tech in 2027, the ‘Noles and Yellow Jackets in 2028 and with Clemson, N.C. State and Ohio State in future years. If Georgia were to cancel its home-and-home with Louisville for 2026 and 2027 without the Cards’ agreeing to the change, it would cost UGA $2M. (link)

Additional nuggets from Arizona AD Desireé Reed-Francois on the JohnWallStreet podcast. The Wildcats are approaching AI as a potential revenue multiplier, and a standing committee meets biweekly to discuss ticketing, pricing, attendance prediction, donor stewardship, sponsorship valuation, facility scheduling, concessions/retail, and micro-targeted content: “What we have found is that AI really…helps you find some hidden incremental dollars in existing streams.” Reed-Francois also explains how UA is reaching out to the Hispanic and international markets and emphasizes segmentation over a one-size-fits-all approach: “I think sometimes people paint a broad brush and say this is what Hispanic marketing is,” but the key is to listen to people. “We assessed who our fan base was…[and asked] ‘Let’s target each of the different demographics who buy season tickets or who don’t and why?’ And how do we tell them our story…and bring them back into the fold?” (link)

More from the Bloomberg Power Players event earlier in the week, this time from Elevate Chief Business Officer for College and Global Intelligence Jonathan Marks, who weighed in on the topic of private equity: “There are many athletic directors, universities that say, ‘Hey, we're never going to take private equity.’ The reality is, though, we hand partners capital every day. The legacy MMR providers hand those schools capital every day, and they're all backed by private equity. So they're already effectively taking private equity.” Marks adds: “Traditional private equity, in my opinion, will put schools in a more challenging situation five to 10 years from now. They're really kicking the can down the road. They're solving an immediate problem today, but they're kicking the can down the road, whereas [with] our strategy or if they're looking at it from a debt perspective, we're not taking an ownership stake. Sure, we might take a portion of a revenue stream over a period of time, but at the end of 10 years when that new renovated stadium is built or a brand new stadium is built, we own nothing. The school owns everything. And I think that's what's most important and that's what I think will be sustainable on a long-term basis with all of our partners.” (link)

The Centre Daily Times’ Jon Sauber points to a source who indicates the new Penn State-Adidas deal “is valued at roughly $300 million over that 10-year period. That total includes cash, product, considerations for Name, Image and Likeness, and other benefits.” One more key note: “According to multiple sources with knowledge of the negotiations, Nike had the option to match the adidas deal but declined.” (link)

“This is football country.” That was UTRGV President Dr. Guy Bailey’s to Extra Points’ Matt Brown on what he learned while embedding himself last weekend at UTRGV for the football team’s first-official FCS contest, a 66-0 win over Sul Ross (DII). With a multinational metro area population of well over 3M residents straddling the border of the U.S. and Mexico, the Rio Grande Valley is “geographically isolated from the other major population centers in Texas” with Brown observing that it proudly sports “a unique culture that’s part Mexico, part Texas, very American, and very theirs.” Overall, 12,726 fans visited Robert and Janet Vackar Stadium for the program’s official lidlifter with Brown highlighting the excitement as “tickets were sold out days in advance, and school officials told me tickets on the secondary market were going for well into triple digits.” What’s behind the growing success of the program in the RGV? According to Bailey, it helps having people in leadership roles with ties to the region, but it’s not absolutely essential. Bailey: “What is essential is that you will embrace the region. You'll embrace the culture of the region, and want to be part of it. [...] What I’ve tried to do here is meet the community on their terms. We belong to the Rio Grande Valley as an institution.” Brown: “In that sense, starting a college football program at UTRGV isn’t about growing enrollment (UTRGV is growing without football), or about necessarily optimizing revenue, or about chasing prestige. It’s a way to connect to the people in the region on their terms, using something they already love and understand. It means honoring and recognizing the Hispanic heritage of the region. … It means that campus leaders and coaches need to be visible and participatory in their region. The Valley is different and unique, like all places. But like all places, it also just wants to be loved and recognized for what it is.” (link)

Former Michigan football staffer Connor Stalions joins the Bunch Formation podcast with The Athletic’s Chris Vannini and David Ubben and discusses the art of stealing signs, the NCAA penalties against him, what it’s like to be involved in an NCAA investigation, his presence on the Central Michigan sideline and more. While Stalions remains guarded about some topics out of respect to the appeals process, he disputes any assertions that he or Michigan went to greater lengths to steal signals than other programs, noting that many teams “did the same as I did,” while some went further. On how stealing signs actually works, Stalions explains that many offenses go uptempo “for the sole purpose of getting the defense to signal their play.” Offenses would go fast and just signal the formation to force the defense to communicate their play and then the offense would use that information to finish their playcall. “So, as far as competitive advantage, it’s pretty much impossible to have a competitive advantage from a defensive perspective. You’re trying to create competitive balance from teams stealing your signals. Because at the end of the day, if an offense really cares about [protecting] signals, they’re just going to huddle, they’re going to wristband their plays like Georgia…and so even when they want to go relatively uptempo they just signal in a number, and they just look at the wristband. There’s nothing you can do about that. No offense to the NCAA, but they’re not really knowledgeable about the game of football. … To have a legitimate opinion, you have to understand how teams are actually communicating their play.” Lots more.

North Dakota held the ribbon cutting for the Nodak Insurance Company Sports Performance Center, a $20M addition to the school’s Fritz Pollard Athletic Center. The new space holds the new weight room as well as locker rooms and lounge areas for student-athletes, along with athletic offices, an academic center and sports medicine facilities. Ground was broken for the project in August 2023. UND AD Bill Chaves: “This facility is a game changer. The transitions between locker room, training room and weight room are as efficient as any facility in the country. This proficiency provides enhanced communication and an elite student-athlete experience as their holistic needs can really be met.” (link)

Earlier in the week, the Los Angeles Times’ Ben Bolch reviewed UCLA’s football attendance following last weekend’s announced crowd of 35,032 against Utah compared to a scan count of 27,785. Bolch: “In recent seasons, UCLA’s announced attendance was sometimes more than double the scan count, according to figures obtained by The Times through a public records request.” While declining to comment for the story, Bolch adds that “current athletic administrators have acknowledged the challenge of drawing fans in an increasingly crowded sports landscape that now includes two local NFL teams. Among other ventures, UCLA has created a new fan zone outside the stadium that can be enjoyed without purchasing a ticket and will hold a concert on the north side of the stadium the day of the Penn State game early next month.” (link)

A FootballScoop study of all 136 FBS starting QBs in 2025 shows how rare the straight-line path really is, as FootballScoop’s Zach Barnett notes that nearly two-thirds are starting for a school they did not sign with out of high school. Barnett also points out the “median FBS program's hunt for their next quarterback probably begins in Texas – or, if not there, then California, Florida, Georgia or Arizona. They're hunting in states with lots of sunshine, providing the quarterbacks there with ample opportunity to sling the rock in competitive environments almost year round. If you're a quarterback from a northern state, you're competing for offers with peers that accumulate thousands more 7-on-7 reps than you.” Unsurprisingly, Power 4 QBs are generally higher-rated recruits than their Group of 6 counterparts, with over 61% coming out of high school as five-star prospects or better. In the G5, that number is closer to 13%. Where QBs sign matters, as Barnett explains: “The numbers show it is incredibly important for an FBS quarterback to sign with a Power 4 school out of high school, even if he doesn't wind up playing there. The MAC and Conference USA start more Power 4 signees (12) than G6 signees (8), and the American is close. Junior college quarterbacks have a decent shot of playing their way onto FBS rosters (if you count 3.67% decent), but quarterbacks who sign with 4-year schools below the FBS level almost never do..” More.

“I don’t think there’s any illusion it’s going to be a conventional candidate pool.” That’s The Athlete Group’s Jake Rosenberg to Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde in connection to the AD search at Oklahoma. More from Rosenberg on industry challenges & opportunities ahead & how his partnership with OU in building out its football front office informs the AD search: “There are probably more answers or more strategies than a lot of people are willing to actually use. People just want to chalk everything up to mass chaos and put their head between their own knees and assume crash position. I think our premise business-wise is that there actually are still a lot of ways to be smarter and be more strategic, and then you get paid back disproportionately because things are so inefficient. There’s so much change in college. I think we have the best chance to understand what these roles should look like because we’re doing actually the work and we’re on the ground. And I think those of us that have experience in professional ranks doesn’t translate exactly, but there are a lot of qualities about professional sports that are more of a part of college sports now.” (link)

Syracuse AD John Wildhack acknowledges that a new chancellor will choose their own leadership but observes that the impending departure of Kent Syverud at the end of the 2025-26 academic year will have no impact on his desire to remain in his role with the Orange. Wildhack: “I have the passion. I have the commitment. My health is good. I love the university. I’m an alum. I love the community. I’m incredibly grateful to do what I do. Obviously a new chancellor is going to do what he or she thinks is best for the university. That’s the way transitions happen.” According to Syracuse.com’s Chris Carlson, the most recent University announcement on Wildhack’s status was that he had inked a contract extension through mid-2025, but the author adds that “as a private school, Syracuse is not obligated to share contract terms. It often extends contracts quietly.” Wildhack: “I really don’t have any mile-markers or milestones or this or that. I look at things in the short term.” (link) 

The Athletic’s Matt Baker submits three things he learned about Jim Phillips after two days spent in the car, at the stadium and on a Cessna alongside the ACC Commissioner during last weekend’s football road trip. First, Phillips understands his job. When Baker inquired as to what his position entailed, Phillips “listed some broad duties, from advocating for the college part of college sports to running championships to marketing the league to having a voice in national conversations. And, of course, finding money.” Phillips: “For me, I would say I spend a lot of time on the external side, the revenue piece of this thing.” Secondly, Baker observes that “being the child of a commissioner is exactly what you’d expect,” highlighting the time the Commissioner promised to get his kids a puppy when the Chicago Cubs won a World Series. When that day finally came in 2016, Baker writes: “[Phillips] and his wife called a family meeting and asked to renegotiate. What if, instead of a dog, they took a family trip anywhere in the world? Each child pitched his/her proposed destination by making a PowerPoint presentation to display on the family TV. Phillips and Laura conferred, then returned with a proposal that was acceptable to all parties. They’d go to Italy. The only thing missing was a trip-planning task force or subcommittee.” Lastly, Baker reports that Phillips is as superstitious as the rest of us, noting that the Commissioner changed his striped tie every game to match a team’s colors and insisted on sitting in the back of every vehicle.

Ohio State AD Ross Bjork offered praise for President Donald Trump’s July executive order to set new restrictions on payments to college athletes, while adding that Congress has no other choice but to get involved in the issue. Bjork: “There's a lot of things that we have to offer at Ohio State to be a voice. … But in terms of structure to get clarity, there's really only one body who can do it, and that is Congress…. It's hard for us to govern as an NCAA organization without getting sued. … There's a SCORE Act in the House, hopefully it makes it to the House floor. We know there's challenges that it would have on the Senate side, but we hope there's some negotiation, we hope that we can provide clarity. We need to eliminate all the state-by-state laws because we can't govern that way. We need some kind of legal liability protection so that we don't get sued all the time. And then we need to recognize that these are students. A lot of people think employment is the panacea, the way to provide clarity, but it actually complicates it even more and puts, I think, a lot of things at risk. … If we don't have any clarity at the federal level, you're going to see state-by-state law take effect and continue to kind of thrive. You're going to see continued legal threats. You're going to see continued discussion around ‘should athletes be employees or not?’ … If we continue to have uncertainty, then I think the game, the sanctity of the game, and the competitiveness, our coaches will continue to be frustrated by it, and we need to be able to provide them a roadmap in this sort of bumpiness the last couple of years. It's hard to provide them with what the true roadmap is.“ (link)

New Threads…

➤ Penn State officially announces a 10-year partnership to have Adidas become the official footwear, uniform, apparel and sideline partner of the Nittany Lions, effective July 1, 2026. Leading up to the deal’s official commencement, Penn State and Adidas will be prioritizing high-impact NIL agreements and brand marketing campaigns for student-athletes across all 31 sports. Once the partnership begins, all 800-plus PSU student-athletes will be eligible to participate in Adidas’ wide-ranging NIL Ambassador Network, which gives all student-athletes at partnered Division I schools the chance to benefit from their Name, Image and Likeness.  (link)

➤ On3’s Pete Nakos reports that the Oklahoma-affiliated 1Oklahoma collective has distributed $32M in student-athlete payments over an undisclosed timespan. This comes after the Sooners ramped up their NIL operations in recent years, throwing the full weight of their brand behind bringing together the Crimson and Cream, The Sooner Nation and 1Oklahoma collectives under a single umbrella.

Coaching Perspectives…

➤ Former Alabama Football HC/current ESPN GameDay analyst Nick Saban tells On3’s Steve Samra why he thinks the Big Ten seems to have an edge at the moment over the SEC: “I think that the SEC was the SEC because of the culture in the South. There wasn’t professional football in the South for a long time, and everybody related to the colleges. Well, now that doesn’t matter. I mean, kids grew up wanting to go to LSU, Alabama and Georgia. Got the money now. They don’t mind going to Ohio State. They don’t mind going to other places. So, that geographic advantage that the Southeast[ern] Conference had may be changing a little bit now, with the different culture, with NIL and the money involved in decision-making. I think that’s created a bit of an edge for the Big Ten.” (link)

➤ CBS Sports’ Brandon Marcello reports on the rapid rise in fourth-down coaching aggressiveness across college football over the last five years, noting that “the shift traces back to ’the book,’ football's analytical bible,” created by statistician and former credit bureau consultant Michael McRoberts after he grew frustrated over watching a coach’s punting decision that wasn’t backed up by the math. McRoberts pitched it to the NFL and college teams in 2013, but few took him seriously until Troy agreed to become Championship Analytics’ first client. Now CAI consults with 104 of 136 FBS programs. Count Alabama Football HC Kalen DeBoer as a fan of the book’s recommendations: “There's a clear understanding you have to be committed to it. If you're going to use it, you have to commit to what the analytics really are. It makes complete sense to me, but there's still a piece when you have weather, wind, maybe a personnel piece that impacts how the game is going. You've got to take all those things into consideration. That's what I've done. Honestly, when the game is in limbo or you're playing from behind, I feel like the chances we've taken have certainly paid off.” More. (link)

➤ Auburn Men’s Basketball HC Bruce Pearl joins the Inside College Basketball Now podcast with CBS’ Jon Rothstein, who asks Pearl how much longer he plans to coach. Pearl replies: “Not that much longer, Jon. I think it's kind of a balance of life, of time, of work. I love Auburn. I truly do. Auburn's been unbelievable for us and our family. And part of the thing is, I also want to do, when I'm on top of my game and coaches, we want to be on top of our game. We owe that to our players and our fans. And so as you get a little bit older, you take it one day at a time.” Pearl believes student-athletes should be compensated but calls for more guardrails, explaining: “This idea of the NCAA not being able to make its own rules and somehow we’re finding that it’s against the kids’ freedom of movement or whatever, his civil rights, to say you can’t transfer without any sort of penalty… I mean, there is rules in business where you have non-compete clauses and things like that. So why aren’t we able to take that to court and win that? Whoever were the lawyers for the NCAA years ago that were advising them, those guys should all be fired and be called out for giving the NCAA such poor advice about how to handle this NIL situation.” More from Pearl.

The Mercury News’ Jon Wilner takes a look behind the keyboard at the Big 12’s X account, which poked some fun at North Carolina following TCU’s 34-point victory over the Tar Heels. Big 12 VP for Communications and Strategy Clark Williams explains: “Our media strategy is built to match the landscape. And like it or not, the landscape lives on social media. If something is inaccurate, inept or incorrect, we try to set the narrative right. But there’s plenty on social media that we don’t respond to.” Chief Brand and Business Officer Tyrel Kirkham adds: “There’s PR and there’s communications. You have to push every button that allows your messaging to cascade through the marketplace. It starts with [Commissioner] Brett [Yormark], and we all draft off that.” Wilner observes that “few in college sports value messaging more than Yormark. … Yormark’s relentless approach serves a conference forever fighting for air and space in a marketplace dominated by the Big Ten and SEC. He has empowered the Big 12’s strategic communications team – Williams and Kirkham don’t work alone – to use the tools available in a proactive, impactful fashion.” Williams goes on to tell Wilner that “we know who we are and who we aren’t, and we know the avenue to who we can become. The strategy allows us to be aspirational.” (link)

Maryland is looking to its own version of “Friday Night Lights” as one way to improve attendance, according to The Baltimore Sun’s Sam Jane, who observes that the Terps have hosted home games on Friday five times since 2019 with an average attendance of 43,791. Compare that to an average home crowd of 36,833 over that span, and it’s apparent that those Friday match-ups have “consistently ranked among the most attended matchups of the season.” For a program where fan turnout has been a persistent issue, with attendance numbers ranking over the past half-decade near the bottom of the Big Ten, Jane notes the department is also working on installing new fan measures such as a “Terpsville Fan Fest,” featuring inflatables, face painting and yard games inside the Jones-Hill House. For Terps Football HC Mike Locksley, Friday nights are all about the opportunity for wider exposure, commenting: “The best thing [about playing on Friday] is that it gives us a chance to amplify the University of Maryland. When you have a chance to play on national TV … you have a chance to really shine a light on what the University of Maryland is all about.” (link)
