The CCA22 – the group of non-FBS DI conferences – is submitting an alternate damages payment proposal to top NCAA governing boards, according to The Athletic’s Nicole Auerbach, who reports: “They're asking to either delay a final decision on the financial breakdown or adjust it to ~60/40 Power 4/non-P4. The alternate proposal is going to the Board of Governors, Board of Directors and both finance committees. As noted previously, the current proposal calls for the Power 4 to be responsible for 40% of the reductions over the next decade in NCAA distributions with the rest of DI on the hook for the other 60%.

Kennyhertz Perry attorney Mit Winter believes it’s unlikely a judge would certify a House settlement with the reported terms because it includes future student-athletes not represented in the lawsuit. "Based on my experience with litigating class actions, that would be extremely unusual, and I don't think it's legally possible. A class-action settlement can bind absent class members. But it can't bind those who are not class members at all." On3’s Eric Prisbell reports plaintiffs' attorneys Jeffrey Kessler and Steve Berman are not concerned with the legality of the opt-out element, as they believe they have set up a mechanism (the annual opt-out opportunity for future student-athletes) through which the class will be certified. Baruch College Zicklin School of Business law professor & sports antitrust expert Marc Edelman is skeptical this mechanism will protect the NCAA from future lawsuits: "While a union can negotiate for a future revenue share that may be exempted from antitrust scrutiny based on the non-statutory labor exemption, there is no legal support for allowing a non-union group to negotiate for this kind of settlement without allowing for future antitrust challenges to what remains of the restraint." Boise State law professor Sam Ehrlich also weighs in: “It seems that the idea is to bind athletes indefinitely while only allowing them a chance to object each year – and you have the lead attorney (Jeffrey Kessler) openly saying those objections will go nowhere – and the whole idea of that feels like a major due process problem to me. The whole thing to me feels like a roughshod attempt to replicate a collective bargaining agreement, but without any of the legal powers and protections given to a formal collective bargaining relationship."

Florida State has filed a petition in the North Carolina Supreme Court to appeal its initial loss in the courtroom against the ACC. Along with denying FSU’s appeal of the venue of the lawsuit, the North Carolina Business Court also denied the school’s motion to dismiss. FSU has consequently asked the state’s Supreme Court to review the initial decision and “whether the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction due to the ACC’s lack of standing when it filed the initial complaint.” The suit on why Florida is the appropriate venue: “The only subject matter of this dispute (according to the ACC) is FSU’s intellectual property rights (FSU Media Rights) to all of FSU’s home games played in Tallahassee and broadcast from Tallahassee using FSU facilities in Tallahassee for the next twelve years after FSU leaves the ACC. What could possibly be more Florida-centric?” FSU also asserts the “ACC had long planned behind the back of FSU to sue FSU, and been laying-in-wait for the opportune time to spring its hip pocket complaint on the FSU Board in Mecklenburg County, all for strategic advantage.” (link)

Evansville has received a $3M gift commitment from alumni Kyle and Ashley Freeland to support the construction of a baseball clubhouse which will be known as The Freeland Clubhouse. The gift is believed to be the largest in the athletic department’s history. Purple Aces AD Ziggy Siegfried: “Aces Baseball is on the rise, and this transformational gift by Kyle and Ashley Freeland further accelerates our success in the Missouri Valley Conference and nationwide. I have always stated that we are a sleeping giant at the University of Evansville. A big part of that is the fact that we have Purple Aces like Kyle and Ashley Freeland who are willing to invest in our future.” (link)

Texas A&M Baseball HC Jim Schlossnagle talks about plans for an $80M upgrade to Blue Bell Park: “The renderings we’ve seen to this point, if we’re able to do that, holy cow. That’s going to be awesome, and I can’t wait for the public to see that.” He describes a “360-degree concourse where you can walk everywhere” complete with a “drink rail” ideal for packed, marquee games, which occur frequently in the SEC. Schlossnagle adds: “At the current time we’re planning on staying in this footprint, so we have physical limitations as to how far out we can go. We can certainly go up, but you also have the sun to deal with (sitting in) right field.” (link) 

The Athletic’s college football staff surveyed numerous coaches, NIL collective officials, agents, personnel staffers and players who have transferred on a variety of transfer portal-related topics, including player retention, collectives’ war chests, what players do to earn NIL and more. Collective CEOs agree that the percentage of funding allocated for retention and signing new players from the portal varies by year with Collective CEO 4 saying: “It’s definitely a lot cheaper to retain than it is to recruit, so we start there. And then we build off our budget and start in like December and try to keep our kids, and then whatever is left, we use to go get portal kids. It’s not that the budget is allocated a certain way, we’re just retention first and then we kind of see where we are.” GM 2 observes: “Most kids don’t want to leave their teammates, don’t want to be a quitter, so there is some loyalty. Then there are cases where some player with a sixth-round draft grade will come and claim they are being offered a million bucks to go somewhere — well, you should take it. If you’re getting offered that, you should take it. You have to know the kid you’re dealing with.” As far as how well collectives are funded, totals vary widely, with Collective CEO 6 noting this year’s football allocation was around $1M and CEO 1 indicating a total budget of $14.5M with roughly 80% earmarked for football. By and large, collectives pay student-athletes for in-person appearances at charities, social media posts and/or virtual appearances. CEO 5: “Live near campus, not get arrested, must show up and perform the charitable service. They also have to take a photo of themselves at the venue and upload it to our portal for proof.” Lots more. (link)

Former Toledo Football AC Craig Kuligowski has filed a $10M lawsuit against the school alleging he was “because he was the wrong age and the wrong race.” The suit notes that Rockets AD Bryan Blair stated in an athletics department-wide meeting that Blair wanted Toledo to hire “more coaches who were representative of current student-athletes” and argues that “it was clear that by ‘representative,’ Blair, as an agent of the University, meant younger and black or African American.” Kuligowski contends that as a former Toledo student-athlete he was particularly representative of the Toledo student body.

The Atlantic 10 concluded its annual business meetings last week, during which NCAA President Charlie Baker provided an update on the current state of the NCAA, NIL legislation and the legal cases facing the Association. Baker also discussed the potential expansion of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship and the potential allocation of funds to support a revenue distribution unit for selection or participation in the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship. ADs and coaches “strongly supported the future expansion of the men’s and women’s NCAA tournaments. Given the parity in the sport, there was support, (and a recommendation) for combining the current NIT/WBIT into the expansion review of the current field of 68 teams selected for March Madness.” League officials also discussed the payouts associated with the potential settlement of the House, Hubbard and Carter lawsuits and believes that “as a basketball-centric Division I conference, the recommended payment model disproportionately and significantly impacts the A-10 future revenue.” Commissioner Bernadette McGlade: “This is a crucial time in college athletics and the athletic directors and coaches were able to take a deep dive on the critical issues impacting the future of this industry. The opportunity to talk directly to President Baker was important for the basketball coaches and athletic directors as they shared the importance of March Madness access and the desire to see the NCAA tournament expanded.” More from the meetings.

SBJ’s Bret McCormick examines Legends’ new partnership with Alum to “develop buildings in America’s college football hotbeds that contain residences, private membership clubs, meeting and event spaces, restaurants and, in warmer climes, outdoor pool clubs.” Through a services agreement, Legends will “operate the year-round membership clubs and restaurants and help Alum develop relationships with the college athletics world. Alum is offering a home-share program in which owners’ residences can be rented out when not in use, with Alum handling everything from booking to cleaning and maintenance.” Alum COO David Vialli: “There are bits and pieces of this all over the place — not one place where this all comes together. All the pieces that you have to go find for yourself, if they exist, we’re just putting it all under one roof.” The plan is for Alum to develop buildings containing roughly 90 to 100 condominium units in 25-30 locations at a rate of roughly three per year. The developments are expected to cost around $80M each, and Alum memberships will cost between $149 and $200 per month for access to the restaurant, club and event space and amenities, and priority booking for units (when they become available). Non-club members also will be able to rent the units. Planning is already underway for several locations, including Ann Arbor, Auburn, Norman and Athens. (link)

ESPN Bet appears poised for rapid growth, according to SBJ’s BIll King, who points out that “open for only 17 days and half the weekends in November, ESPN Bet more than doubled the combined handle of Barstool in 10 trackable states, taking in $464.6B in wagers. Rapid growth continued through December, with ESPN Bet taking a combined 8% share in those 10 states, nearly tripling the 3% that Barstool held in October.” However, the company has since slid back to the same position Barstool held for Penn a year earlier, and Penn Entertainment CEO Jay Snowden emphasizes that ESPN Bet’s plan is to realize acceptable ROI based on achieving market shares of 10% to 20% by 2027. “We never said that was Month 1. There are several constituencies out there that are wanting to declare success or failure after six months. I think that’s wild.” VP of ESPN Bet and ESPN Fantasy Mike Morrison adds: “We’ve already had significant impact in the market. We established a new brand virtually overnight. … We’ve just begun to develop what will be a market-leading experience from a product and technology standpoint across both platforms. I really like our hand here.” Snowden notes ESPN Bet’s value proposition lies in the convergence of sports media and sports betting, something the company is uniquely positioned to offer. “You can imagine how much more personalized we can be in everything we’re putting in front of an ESPN media/ESPN Bet shared account user. And that goes to fantasy and your fantasy roster, too. When you set your lineup each week, we may have a player prop offering for you of how many TDs Pat Mahomes is going to throw because he’s your starting quarterback.” Lots more. (link)

In case you missed this morning's D1.ticker edition…

Big East Commissioner Val Ackerman has expressed “strong objection” to the process by which back damages are being determined in the proposed consolidated settlement of the House, Hubbard and Carter antitrust cases. Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger reports Ackerman is seeking ways to “alter the plan that the NCAA and A5 have orchestrated,” according to an email sent to league members. From the email: “Based on the numbers we have reviewed, the liability of the 22 non-FBS conferences under the proposed formula appears disproportionately high, particularly because the primary beneficiaries of the NIL ‘back pay’ amounts are expected to be FBS football players. I have voiced the Big East's strong objections to the proposed damages framework through recent emails to [NCAA President] Charlie Baker and his counsel and through comments during commissioner calls over the past two weeks. … While we support the goal of a settlement, which would be to avoid a trial [and the risk of a treble judgment] and allow for a flexible payment schedule for the damages penalty, we have taken issue with the manner in which the settlement amount would be paid.” Ackerman also acknowledges it’s “unclear how much time or leverage” the Big East has with the Power 5. (link)

The latest on a potential House case settlement from Sportico’s Michael McCann as he looks at why there’s so much public dialogue: “Playing a game of leaks is also a double-edged sword for the NCAA and players’ attorneys. On Saturday, ESPN reported on opposition to the settlement from non-Power Five conferences. They would be on the hook to absorb about 60% of a $1.6 billion price tag despite the fact House only names the NCAA and Power Five conferences as defendants for damages. They’re sensing that approach doesn’t seem so fair and weren’t reluctant to share that concern with a reporter. Expect to see other leaks this week, especially from schools worried about potential reductions in payments from NCAA tournament shares.” (link)

Front Office Sports’ Amanda Christovich reports the NCAA and Power 5 conferences have spent “more than $15M on some of the most powerful lobbying firms in Washington, D.C., and an undisclosed amount (likely in the millions) on well-connected public relations firms, public record and expert analysis show. Using some of the same high-powered lobbyists and PR professionals as Purdue Pharma and the Biden-Harris presidential campaign, they’ve manipulated the conversation on Capitol Hill, shaped media discussions to reflect their talking points, and influenced multiple legislative proposals.” Since 2014, the “NCAA has both in-house and K Street lobbyists on its payroll. In 2019, the NCAA spent $690K in total, according to public lobbying disclosures counted by DYK Media. The organization has increased its expenditures every year since, peaking at $900K in ’23. Overall, the governing body has spent around $7M on both its in-house ‘Office of Government Relations’ and Brownstein Hyatt between ’19 and ’23 alone.” In-house, the NCAA’s lobbying efforts are led by NCAA Office of Government Relations Managing Director Dawn Buth, who was recognized as one of the 500 most influential people in D.C. by the Washingtonian magazine. Meanwhile, Brownstein Hyatt “is the highest-grossing firm in Washington and has participated in some of the biggest lobbying industry campaigns. After pleading guilty to multiple felony counts, the opioid manufacturer Purdue Pharma likely looked to the firm for damage control, crisis communication, and influence to mitigate further penalties.” Lots more from Christovich.

Cincinnati AD John Cunningham during a Ball and Brew event this weekend addressed the changes happening across the industry: "This summer I think a lot of key decisions will be made. It's a real important time in college athletics. I think we're making the right moves, I think we're heading in the right direction, but things are going to change a little bit. All we can ask is that we're on the same playing field as everybody else and that we know the game that's being played. I think some of that's going to be taken care of over the next couple of weeks and months." (link)

Cal State Bakersfield AD Kyle Conder joins MB Sports’ Matt Banker to give a unique perspective as an AD in the state where much of the change to athletics has originated. Conder talks about education to legislators, adapting to change, protecting Olympic sports and more. Conder says it’s up to the institutions to effectively communicate the value of a broad-based athletic department. “I know that we have student-athletes that wouldn’t pursue higher education but for the opportunity to have that combination of sport and education. I know we have student-athletes at our institution that wouldn’t be in the U.S. but for this opportunity to participate in both. We’ve got to articulate that in a really meaningful way. If we can demonstrate those facts and figures, data-based information for legislators, for leadership in positions that can make change to show if we start to see Olympic sports impact, it won't just be that our medal count at the Olympics might be impacted negatively, but it could have a negative effect on opportunities for student-athletes to pursue higher education.” You can check out the full Q&A on Connect.

ESPN’s Paula Lavigne and Shwetha Surendran reviewed sports-betting policies at 24 Power 5 institutions in states that had mobile sports betting by the end of 2023 and found that “only four schools had policies that explicitly warn student-athletes of potential legal consequences.” They note, however, that it “isn't clear if the universities address the potential legal consequences at in-person sessions with athletes because 21 of the 24 schools contacted by ESPN declined to comment or did not respond to multiple emails asking about their educational efforts around gambling.” While it’s widely known that student-athletes who gamble could jeopardize their college careers, Lavigne and Surendran note that since 2018, state laws have codified even harsher punishments. For instance, South Dakota football student-athlete Clayton Denker confirms the athletic department emphasized the ban on sports gambling at the beginning of the school year; however, he was unaware that betting while a student-athlete could be a felony in the state. Denker: "They should lead with that. If [athletes] were to understand this affects the rest of my life, not just my sport, then I think they would take it more seriously." More. (link)

LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan joined AthleticDirectorU’s Steph Garcia Cichosz at the 2023 Women Leaders Convention to discuss sustaining passion throughout her journey in and out of intercollegiate athletics, beginning with her time as a two-sport student-athlete at Princeton, where she later returned to serve as AD. Marcoux Samaan, who has since transitioned to serving as the Commissioner of the LPGA, reflects on having “the coolest job in sports” and talks about finding purpose in everyday tasks. “I think life is all about mindset. I think you learn that in the academic setting. You learn that in different roles that you have, but to me it's just all your perspective when you go into a challenge. I think when all the hard tasks are weighing you down, I think as a leader you have to step back and go, ‘Well, that's actually what my job is. My job is to solve problems, so if the problems are weighing you down, then that's not the job you should be doing. Because your job is to solve problems, so that's kind of how I try to deflect the burnout and the stress – I sort of disassociate a bit from the personal side and say my job is to solve this problem. I may not do it perfectly, I might not have all the answers, but I know that I'm trying to find the best answer and I'm trying to put the team first. And then I think you can feel pretty confident in that.” Full Q&A on ADU. (link)

LEARFIELD EVP for NIL Growth & Development Solly Fulp outlines seven ways the company unlocks NIL opportunities, including telling stories through unique student-athlete content; fostering authentic, value-driven connections; amplifying messages on digital channels; connecting school logos and IP with brand sponsors; driving value with boots on the ground; dedicated NIL education and content creation centers; and impactful NIL micro-internship experiences. Fulp on the micro-internships: “NIL aims to enhance the student-athlete journey during their time on campus. Today’s student-athletes prioritize earning meaningful degrees, winning championships, character development, and gaining impactful NIL dealmaking experience. A well-rounded college experience empowers student-athletes to take advantage of NIL financial opportunities while gaining vital life skills and establishing professional relationships through collaborations with brands and business partners. Through these experiences, student-athletes gain ‘micro-internship’ opportunities and learn influencer marketing skills, financial literacy, and NIL deal literacy alongside the commercial aspects of NIL.” (link)

The NFL’s schedule release landed with “the wallop of a blindside block, straight from 345 Park Ave. to college football administrators across the land,” according to The Mercury News’ Jon Wilner, who notes this year’s slate includes two marquee matchups on Saturday, Dec. 21 in Kansas City vs. Houston and Pittsburgh vs. Baltimore, both of which are on broadcast television and will compete directly with College Football Playoff games. Former Fox Sports President Bob Thompson: “The CFP said, ‘Hey, we’re going with three games and you do what you do.’ And the NFL responded by flexing its muscles.” While college sports’ litany of legal troubles, internal conference conflict and other problems could have myriad negative effects, Wilner notes they can’t stop people from viewing games nor will they “kneecap college football’s public relevance. The NFL can. The NFL will. Increasingly, the nation’s most popular sports league is competing directly against the CFP specifically, and college football generally, for the eyeballs coveted by the broadcast networks and their advertisers. Would the NFL willingly pose a material threat to the very sport that provides its labor? The NFL can. The NFL will.” Wilner notes the NFL has already encroached on the traditionally college-heavy Black Friday slate and has now moved in on the traditionally NBA-heavy Christmas Day. Thompson: “It’s intentional creep into other sports properties’ sacred dates. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but the gorilla is coming. And it will stomp on everything.” (link)
