"D1.relocation was able to provide resources from realtors, mortgage companies and even a moving company for not only myself but numerous new Charlotte Football Staff members. I highly recommend making D1.relocation one of your first calls." - Jake Kirkendall, Director of Football Operations at Charlotte |

Our sincerest condolences go out to the entire San Francisco community as well as to the family, friends and colleagues of Dons’ AD Larry Williams, who passed away suddenly Thursday morning while working out. (link)
Clemson has “unanimously approved” a new deal for AD Graham Neff that will see his total annual salary rise 39% from $900K to $1.25M in 2025-26, before “eventually” climbing to $1.75M, while keeping him under contract through 2031. As part of Neff’s deal, his total salary will expand by $100K annually and he’ll receive a retention bonus of $300K if he remains AD as of July 1, 2026. Clemson is also paying Neff an annual “licensing fee” of $250K for his “name, likeness, trademarks, and similar IP,” which is considered deferred compensation and will be paid into an LLC held by Neff. Additionally, Neff can earn as much as $250K in annual bonuses based on various Clemson sports accomplishments, including finishing among the ACC’s top four schools in football/basketball television viewership numbers. If Clemson were to fire Neff without cause, he would be owed 75% of the total money left on his contract, while if Neff were to terminate his deal for another AD job, he would owe the Tigers 25% of the total money remaining on the contract.

With no unanimous verdict in sight, the Big Ten’s 18 presidents and chancellors did not vote during a Thursday meeting on a $2.4B investment plan. In its statement, the Big Ten said it "remains committed to modernizing the operations of our conference, strengthening conference stability, preserving Olympic and women's sports, and enhancing the student-athlete experience. The conference has provided an option from a nonprofit partner – not private equity – that meets those objectives. Ultimately, it is the decision of the Big Ten member institutions' presidents and chancellors to decide if it's the right opportunity and those conversations are ongoing." (link)
Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger reports “UC Investments, the non-profit investor proposing the $2.4B capital deal with the Big Ten, has released a statement, confirming much of what has been previously reported about the deal and emphasizing that it plans to continue dialogue with the Big Ten.” Of note from the statement: “UC Investments has offered to invest $2.4B, a 10% minority stake, with the remaining 90% to be shared among all 18 Big Ten member universities and the conference itself. The terms of our offer require us to hold the investment for at least 15 years … As codified in our ten investment pillars, we are ‘centennial investors.’ We consider Big Ten Enterprises a 100-year investment. Additionally, we have offered any Big Ten-member university the opportunity to buy down UC Investments’ stake in Big Ten Enterprises if it wishes to acquire a larger ownership stake for itself. Any potential partnership with UC Investments would not change the Big Ten’s governance structure. UC Investments would not be involved in the operations of the conference itself.” The full statement. (link)
