President Donald Trump wants “very powerful caps” to limit college athlete salaries so that universities won’t “go out of business.” In an interview on The Pat McAfee Show, Trump also explained that he fears “lesser” sports also are being discontinued because of revenue sharing. “It is a very serious problem because even football, when they give quarterbacks $12M, $13M, $14M — I read a couple of them — and all of a sudden you’re going to see it’s going to be out of control, and even rich colleges are going to go bust. … They had the old way. They gave scholarships, and they did lots of good things. But there could be some form of payments, but…look, the NFL, and all of you know, all teams, they have caps. You don’t really have that in college sports.” Trump added: “When the guard comes along that weighs 350 pounds and he’s phenomenal, and they say, ‘That’s going to make the difference between having a great team and a lousy team’, and they give him $10M — that’s going to start happening pretty soon — all of a sudden you’re going to have NFL-type payrolls.” Also from Trump: “I don’t want to use any particular sport, because it’s, you know, degrading. But they are really terminating a lot of sports…you would call them lesser sports, but big sports, good sports, and sports where they have tremendous interest, they’re getting rid of them.” (link)
Yahoo's Ross Dellenger reports the Big Ten is working on a plan to move forward with the $2.4B private capital deal with UC Investments, with or without Michigan and USC. Dellenger: “If they don’t agree to the deal, the schools may lose the additional capital as part of the landmark proposal and risk their future within the conference beyond 2036, the current end of the existing grant-of-rights agreement. League officials are socializing a specific date — Nov. 21 — for a vote on the capital investment proposal. Administrators and board members at both Michigan and USC were informed earlier this week that, if a 16-school agreement is reached, the two programs would be granted a grace period — three to six months — to agree to join the deal if they wish to reap the full financial benefits. That period is only a proposal for now.” The Big Ten, via a statement, tells Dellenger that “no such vote is scheduled.” Dellenger notes the proposed deal has received pushback from the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, who will hold a call Monday to discuss the matter with board members from five B1G members, and USC, who would receive an uneven revenue distribution and have expressed concern over the governance of Big Ten Enterprises. More including payouts per member. (link)
American Council of Trustees and Alumni President Michael Poliakoff sent a letter to Big Ten presidents and chancellors today urging them to abstain from voting on the capital investment deal. From the letter: “All governing board members … have a responsibility to ensure that America’s institutions act in the best interest of all stakeholders, especially the public. And yet there is a credible claim that governing boards have received insufficient information to make any such determination with respect to the Big Ten Enterprises proposal. This would be a shocking lack of transparency given the stakes of this transaction. … To restore integrity to this process, we urge each governing board to adopt a clear resolution requiring that: the university president or chancellor abstain from any Big Ten vote on the proposed transaction until his or her governing board has been fully briefed; the board is provided with all relevant documents, analyses and legal opinions and; the board has formally authorized the president or chancellor to vote on behalf of the institution. Furthermore, the Big Ten’s governance structure should be amended to ensure that boards of trustees and regents are not merely informed but serve as the ultimate authorities on any future decision involving the sale, transfer or monetization of university-owned athletic assets.” Full text.

An anonymous Big Ten school official weighs in on the perceived lack of transparency regarding the league's $2.4B financial arrangement, remarking: “There's a piece of this that is just ridiculous. So whatever anybody thinks about the deal, the idea that there hasn't been transparency is laughable. There have been hundreds of hours. This has been an item on a weekly AD agenda for over a year. There have been meetings with presidents, individual meetings with institutions, with agreement to come and make multiple presentations. And those have happened at institutions where they've been requested for more detail and information, and that level of engagement directly with ADs and presidents and boards depending on what institution needed what. This commentary that this is a last-minute deal that hasn't had any discussion behind it is just completely a farce. My level of frustration is about these other things that have an impact on where the Big Ten and where [Commissioner] Tony [Petitti], frankly, positions himself, and I think are harmful, and they're not accurate, and nobody's talking about that piece. I honestly cannot recall a time in which we have been together via zoom or in person, certainly, where this hasn't been a topic of discussion.” (link)
