McMurry AD Ferguson will move across town to become the Assoc. VP/Deputy AD for Revenue Generation at Abilene Christian (DI). McMurry President Harper: "McMurry University has appreciated Sam Ferguson's leadership and creativity for over nine years. Whether it was leading us in the transition to Division Three, adding softball and esports, supervising the construction of the Edwards Softball Field, or hiring conference championship coaches, the impact of Sam Ferguson on McMurry athletics has been profound. More recently, his role expanded as the leader of our student affairs division during an especially challenging time of the global pandemic. We appreciate Sam's work ethic and wish him well in his new position at ACU." (link)

National Office Coin:

+ The NCAA paid former Chief Legal Officer Remy $2.4M in severance in 2021, per USA Today’s Berkowitz. Remy left the NCAA to become Deputy Secretary of Veterans Affairs for the Biden administration, a position he has since left. Berkowitz: “According to a statement from the NCAA, the payment was made under a ‘separation agreement [that] was entered into by the employee and the former president of the NCAA,’ Mark Emmert, although the statement also says that the NCAA Board of Governors’ Executive Committee determines NCAA executive salaries. … Remy’s total compensation for 2021 was more than $3.6M, which also included just under $860K in base salary for the partial year worked for the association and nearly $50K in bonus pay.” Berkowitz also reports Emmert was credited with nearly $3.3M in total compensation for the 2022 calendar year, including nearly $2.8M in base salary and nearly $83K in bonus pay.

+ More NCAA earning figures from Sportico’s Libit, who reports EVP for Regulatory Affairs Wilcox was paid $1.48M in 2022, up from $1.39M in 2021. CMO Hainline earned “just shy” of $1M, up from $867 the previous year. Also from Libit “In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the NCAA’s workforce dropped to 594 employees, down from a high of 657 in 2019. The last time the NCAA reported having fewer than 600 staffers was in 2014. (link)

U.S. Representative Bilirakis (R-FL) has introduced the discussion draft of House Resolution (as synopsized yesterday by Congressman Pfluger [R-TX]) that would establish the U.S. Intercollegiate Athletics Commission (USIAC), which would be tasked with “overseeing NIL, including setting rules, enforcing those rules and providing guidance to athletes and collectives on the NIL process,” according to CBS’ Dodd. The Fairness Accountability and Integrity in Representation of College Sports Act (FAIR College Sports Act), Dodd continues, would “preempt all existing and future state NIL laws, a limitation  currently being sought for Congress to address by the NCAA.” Further, Dodd reports the legislation would protect athletes' rights to earn NIL compensation and sign with agents, ban pay-for-play by barring donors, collectives or other third parties from “offering inducements to attend or transfer" to specific institutions, and “require registration within 30 days for agents, boosters and collectives when NIL deals are signed.” Contrary to Pfluger’s letter, Dodd notes the resolution does not address the potential for student-athletes to be classified as employees or establish liability protections for schools or the NCAA itself. More from Dodd. (link); USA Today’s Berkowitz reports the U.S. House of Representatives is set to discuss the bill this week. (link)

Last week, Principia announced it will suspend its S&D program, effective immediately. President Williams points to the struggles maintaining a robust roster and conference affiliation challenges, with the SLIAC not sponsoring the sport and the diminishing sponsorships among the Liberal Arts Conference. Williams adding: “We remain committed to providing opportunities for our student-athletes to excel academically, socially, and athletically. Other options are being explored to strengthen our aquatic programs, and we will continue to support our student-athletes in their pursuits. We are investigating the possibility of establishing a student-led swimming and diving club and welcome possibilities for invitational swimming and diving competitions.” (link)

Odds & Ins:

+ The NCAA has released the data from its sports gambling survey, which included responses from 3,527 individuals aged 18-22 to “better understand the prevalence of various sports wagering behaviors, as well as how attitudes toward wagering are being impacted by external forces, such as advertising. Opinion Diagnostics conducted the survey by using a national online panel that mirrored the total population of that age group and included both college students and young adults not attending college.” Overall, 58% of respondents indicated they participated in at least one sports betting activity. Meanwhile, 67% of students living on campus “are bettors and tend to bet at a higher frequency. 41% of college students who bet on sports have placed a bet on their school's teams and 35% have used a student bookmaker.” 63% of respondents say they recall seeing sports gambling ads with 58% noting they are more likely to gamble after seeing the ads. As it relates to problem gambling, with 16% having engaged in at least one risky behavior and 6% report that they have previously lost more than $500 on sports betting in a single day. 70% of these risky gamblers believe consistent sports gambling will increase their monetary earnings. More from the NCAA. (link)

+ With the prevalence of gambling appearing to increase, NCAA AVP of Enforcement Duncan says cases are relatively easy to investigate. “There’s usually a pretty clear paper trail” left by IP addresses, time stamps and other data that comes with electronic wagering. “We can figure out who is betting, when, how much they’re wagering and how often.” In addition to gambling, Duncan says NIL-related cases are spiking. “We get tips every day. We’ve got a number of cases we’re working through—more than half [the current caseload]. Some are at the preliminary stage, some are at the back end, getting to the charging stage.” (link)

Blending his coaching experience, recruiting experience, and personal expectations for his players, I am confident we have found the right coach” (link)
