The Arizona Board of Regents will vote tomorrow on an extension for Arizona AD Desireé Reed-Francois that would result in a new five-year contract running through March 2, 2032, per WildcatAuthority.com Senior Editor/Publisher Jason Scheer. Base salary for the deal would begin at $1.15M in year one and increase by $50K increments to reach $1.3M during the final year. Reed-Francois would also earn $250K annually through Additional Duties Compensation funded by the University of Arizona Foundation. Her original contract was set to end in 2029. (link)

Appearing on Tuesday’s “Cyclone Coaches’ Corner,” Iowa State AD Jamie Pollard confirmed to host John Walters that Saturday’s football game against West Virginia will serve as both his last home game and final day in the office. Pollard: “It hasn't been as emotional as I thought. I'm sure it will be Saturday night when we clean out my office." Per KCCI’s Aaron Marner, Pollard will attend next week’s Big 12 meetings and ISU’s October 9 road game at BYU, with plans to work remotely after that date until the school names his successor sometime in mid-October. Pollard originally announced back in July that he was expecting to step down from his role on June 30, 2027, but noted he’d leave earlier if the school secured his replacement. He later stated that he expected to be finished prior to the start of basketball season. The Cyclones have yet to announce an interim or permanent AD to replace Pollard. (link)    

Highlighting a draft of a two-page letter intended to be sent to House leadership that encourages the elimination of the Protect College Sports Act’s expansion provision, Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger reports that more than a dozen House lawmakers, mostly in Florida and the Carolinas, have committed to signing it. The expansion provision, which caps power league membership at 20 schools and requires a three-year independent probationary period before a school can move leagues, stands as one of the most difficult hurdles for the legislation in the House. (link)

Speaking after the latest College Football Playoff Management Committee meeting in Chicago, CFP Executive Director Rich Clark says no decision has been made on expansion but that talks on the topic continue with ESPN’s 30-day negotiating window set to close on October 9. Clark tells ESPN’s Heather Dinich: “I think we've worked through a lot of the other issues that are associated with expansion, and those things needed to happen before we started any kind of a negotiation. [Money] is not the only consideration, but right now it is an unknown because we have no idea what the revenue that could be generated is.” Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger adds: “Clark says the eight-game second round of a 24-team playoff will ‘most likely’ be played on campus of the better seed. ‘Ideally,’ there would be an off week after the regular season before the playoffs would start.” (link, link, link)

MVC Commissioner Jeff Jackson joined The Field of 68 to discuss combining the men's and women's conference tournaments in St. Louis, roster retention and more. Here are some takeaways…

➤ On why the league didn’t bring the men's and women's basketball tournaments together sooner: "Logistics. … We play in the same building that the St. Louis Blues play in. So, we have a limited amount of time that we can get our games in. With 12 teams, there just wasn't enough time. When the NCAA Tournament looked like they were going to go to 76 teams, we felt that we needed to be a little bit more purposeful in our approach to how we look at at-large bids. … That led us to a conversation of only bringing 10 teams to the tournament so that we could do that in the best fashion. Once we got down to 10 teams, then we were able to bring 20 teams into St. Louis based on the time period that we had in the building.”

➤ Player retention across the league: "I'm not sure how many conferences have done this, but every student-athlete that made our all freshman team in men's basketball this year came back. Okay? I think our schools understand the investment, the approach, the building of culture that they need to take on in order to be successful in this new environment. And I think they're working hard to make sure that they keep that at the north star in terms of having the best chance to be competitive. So, I think we've separated ourselves from some people and it'll be interesting to see how that manifests itself, especially when we get going in November.” (link)

In the latest segment of BlueGoldNews.com’s “Baker’s Dozen” of West Virginia AD Wren Baker’s decisions and accomplishments since his hiring back in 2022, author Bob Hertzel focuses on the massive change the department created through fundraising to remain relevant in the Big 12. D1.takeaways…

➤ Creating Gold and Blue Enterprises to add order to NIL chaos: “We put a lot of effort into this because you want it to be set up in a way that it contributed greatly in cutting checks to the athletes but you didn’t want the downside. … We didn’t want Gold and Blue Enterprises to be competing with the WVU Foundation or the Mountaineer Athletic Club or Learfield and our media people. We wanted to make sure we were all working together. You know, high tides lift all boats and that was how we wanted it. They set up an organization that has done a lot of positives and done a lot of good for us. They handle our revenue sharing payments to our athletes and are also out raising a lot of money to help fund those payments and are out soliciting cap opportunities in marketing for our student-athletes.”

➤ On creating the $150M Stadium Tower Project: “[We] benefitted from not just assuming there was pent up demand for premium seating, but doing a study and knowing exactly what the pent up demand for premium seating was. … I think we did a good job of building a case that the stadium renovation wasn’t a vanity project but wasn’t anything other than trying to change our long-term trajectory. There are some people participating in stadium renovation solely through a desire to have better seats for themselves but we have a lot of people who understand those dollars are helping something that will make us more sustainable and competitive over the long term.” (link)

Arizona State Men’s Ice Hockey HC Greg Powers has been placed on paid administrative leave just two days before the squad’s initial two games of the season, following calls from student-athletes and the family of Matthew Mayich, who remains hospitalized on life support after suffering exertional heat stroke during an August 20 team workout. Powers has been temporarily replaced by AC Mike Corbett, who will guide the team during the search for an Interim HC. He’s served as part of Powers’ staff the past two seasons and was present for the team workout. (link)

Can college football programs manage the risks associated with utilizing AI? The Athletic’s Austin Meek seeks to answer that question with coaching staffs across the country now leveraging AI tools to optimize game preparation, roster management and athletic performance. Nebraska Football HC Matt Rhule began implementing Claude Code to analyze the Huskers’ practice schedules, game scripts, travel itineraries and practice GPS data to flag inefficiencies, such as play calls practiced repeatedly but rarely used in games. Florida operates an AI-Powered Athletics initiative using its HiPerGator computing environment to analyze over a trillion data points from its Athletics Databank, including GPS, neuromuscular performance and injury metrics, to predict injury risks and guide recovery. In addition to player tracking, Nebraska Assistant AD for Strategic Intelligence Sean Padden also utilizes ChatGPT to transform raw data from Championship Analytics into digestible narrative game strategy books for coaches. However, Victory Cybersecurity Consulting Founder Travis Whitesel warns programs of cybersecurity risks, advising staff not to input sensitive data into public platforms and that human oversight remains essential when handling AI outputs. Padden adds: “It will flat-out lie to you. It can be a wizard, but it can be a drunk wizard. You have to check the work.” (link)

An eventual move to a 24-team College Football Playoff could seriously impact when – and how – the Heisman Trophy gets presented, per On3’s Brett McMurphy, who notes the new format could potentially force the annual Saturday award ceremony to a weekday. Without conference championship week buffers, first-round playoff games could kick off immediately after the regular season, complicating player availability and travel to New York City. Heisman Trophy SVP Tim Henning confirmed the Trust has built contingency plans for various postseason models but emphasized that the award should remain a regular-season honor, ruling out a post-championship ceremony: “There is a minimal chance to move it after the national title game. I never say never, but this is as close to never as I can get. … We hope the College Football Playoff and conference commissioners can see the value and history of the Heisman, as well as Army-Navy being a standalone game. It’s good for all of college football. We don’t look at ourselves as a competitor to the College Football Playoff. The Heisman, Army-Navy, the bowl games – we can all have our place on the calendar.” (link)

Old Dominion and Elk Sports & Entertainment/JanDar Productions are collaborating on a joint venture to bring multi-platinum recording artist DaBaby to Chartway Arena on the ODU campus.

Nineteen former members of the now-eliminated UC Davis women’s equestrian team have sued the university in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, claiming the school violated Title IX and seeking a $1.4M payout from the school to female student-athletes alleging they received less financial aid than their male counterparts during the 2023-24 and 2024-25 academic years. Per KCRA’s Jeremiah Martinez, the lawsuit also seeks damages for former and current female student-athletes for athletic financial aid of which they were allegedly deprived. The plaintiffs are seeking a court order requiring UC Davis to provide equal athletic financial aid in the future to comply with Title IX, while also requesting the court to certify the case as a class action, which could include other current and former female varsity athletes if approved by a judge. The school was sued earlier this year after the university eliminated the women's equestrian team as a Division I varsity sport back in January. (link)

➤ Amazon Prime Video has agreed to a contract extension to have Kirk Herbstreit remain as its NFL game analyst on "Thursday Night Football," per The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand. However, the deal’s terms includes flexibility for Amazon to move on if one of its top targets, such as current Los Angeles Rams HC Sean McVay, becomes available, a target the company previously pursued with an offer near $20M annually. Herbstreit's current contracts with both Amazon and ESPN, where he appears on College GameDay and serves as the network’s top college football game analyst, expire at the end of the current season. ESPN plans to address Herbstreit's contract status after the college football season, taking a similar approach as it is with NFL Analyst Troy Aikman following Joe Buck's new six-year, $108M deal.

Morning Edition

September 30, 2026

As the industry waits to see whether the House takes up the Protect College Sports Act, New York Yankees President and Presidential Roundtable on Fixing College Sports Vice Chair Randy Levine defended the financial provisions and NIL restrictions: "There are no athletes under this bill that are losing any opportunities. ... If it’s as attractive as we think, it will turn out to be the largest investment in women’s and Olympic sports that we’ve ever had." Meanwhile, Rosenhaus Sports Representation Founder/CEO Drew Rosenhaus criticized capping athlete pay without similar limits on coaches or administrators, he supported establishing a uniform industry standard on agents: "I’m not sure I agree with the 5%, but I certainly don’t think it’s a mistake to come up with the uniform number for agent fees. I do like the fact that there’s a standard of professionalism now that you have to have." Athletes.org Co-Founder/Executive Director Brandon Copeland warned the 5% fee cap will leave lower-earning athletes without representation: "What agent is going to say, ‘I’m gonna go represent this athlete making $1,000. Then, I’m gonna get 5% of that.’ It’s just not going to happen." (link)

The Tulsa World’s Barry Tramel reports the four-year contract extension signed by Oklahoma State AD Chad Weiberg back in April “is not guaranteed, unless OSU reaches some hard-to-achieve financial thresholds.” While Tramel does not detail said financial thresholds, he points to Weiberg’s solid track record of hiring successful head coaches, including the strong start for new football boss Eric Morris: “Weiberg has been superb on the hiring. He’s made four prominent hires, and Morris, wrestling’s David Taylor and women’s basketball’s Jacie Hoyt have been blue-ribbon additions. Men’s basketball’s Steve Lutz? Still to be determined.” And yet, Tramel says there’s still tension in Stillwater: “Rumblings abound that OSU might still relieve Weiberg of his duties, perhaps sooner rather than later. OSU has become quite a dysfunctional place the last couple of years, with heavy regents involvement and palace intrigue from the president’s office and, of course, all the Mike Gundy drama the previous two seasons.” (link)

Texas AD Chris Del Conte weighed in on the celebrations of some football student-athletes during the Longhorns’ matchup against Tennessee: “We can all agree it was a heck of a game and an incredible performance on the field, but I also know we had some major issues to address with inappropriate celebrations from our players. I'm not happy about that. I know none of us are, and it was embarrassing to our proud and widely respected football team, athletics program and university. It certainly raised very warranted concerns that many of you shared with me, drew a lot of attention, and I understand why. Rest assured, Coach Sark has addressed both situations with the players individually and with the team, and he discussed them after the game and again in Monday's press conference. As he said, it is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. The message is clear — the players conduct did not reflect the values of Texas Athletics or our university and cannot happen again.” (link)

More on the arrest of former Auburn player personnel scouting assistant David Rudolph Jenrath from CBS’ Brandon Marcello, Richard Johnson, and Robby Kalland, who note Jenrath used a pseudonym email account named "Don Julio" to send 10 documents to 85 recipient addresses across up to 11 schools, revealing Auburn's organizational chart, scouting department manual, target lists for 2027–2029 recruits, and HC Alex Golesh's home address. Additional notes…

➤ The leaked files outlined internal scouting office rules and the program's grading system, which categorized recruits into distinct evaluation tiers: "no-brainers … no hesitation in taking his commitment regardless of roster spots. All hands on deck recruiting. Little to no questions on traits/character. Will be one of the best players in college football. ... [and] rejects … player not good enough to help us win. Documented off the field issues/concerns. Lacks work ethic, coachability, and/or competitiveness." 

➤ Police say one of Auburn's competitors who received the information turned it over to Auburn. Also from the CBS trio: “One source on the receiving end of the email questioned how proprietary the information really was. Jenrath was not a major member of the Auburn front office staff, and multiple sources told CBS Sports he was fired after he was spotted at an Auburn baseball game, even though he told staff he was sick.” (link)

A drop in local media rights values and a shrinking pay TV subscriber base (now at 62M) signal a slowdown for upcoming national sports media rights negotiations, according to JohnWallStreet. More of what you need to know…

➤ Former Fox Sports President Bob Thompson says that teams are already getting “$4M, $5M, for deals that used to be worth $50M, ten cents on the dollar literally.” Thompson adds that a select few established sports rights distributors “can afford to pay leagues the large increases they’re going to be seeking the next time around, and those that can are too concerned about what is going on in AI and how much cash they need to hold for that.”

➤ Meanwhile, Crakes Media Principal Patrick Crakes warns that AI data center investments will restrain tech spending, leaving top-tier entities like the SEC, Big Ten, and NFL positioned to capture remaining value while lower-tier properties face stagnant or declining growth. "You can’t look at the engine that powers the economics of this business and the non-replacement from new bidding entities and say that should be your benchmark. Instead, rights owners should be looking at going up just 80%, which would be considered a failure in the old expectation environment." (link)

NC State and an undetermined number of fans are still awaiting reimbursements from Athlete Advantage four months after the cancellation of a 2026 football season opener against Virginia in Brazil, according to WRAL's Alex Littlehales, who notes Athlete Advantage has yet to deliver a $1.5M cancellation fee to the Wolfpack while simultaneously stalling refunds for fans who purchased travel packages, including one buyer owed $4,945. Representatives attribute the delays to recovering international deposits as a spokesperson for the company tells Littlehales: "We understand the frustration of ticket purchasers who are still waiting for refunds following the cancellation of the NC State–UVA game in Brazil. Ticket purchasers are currently receiving refunds, and we continue to work through the remaining refunds." (link)

ACC VP of Media Partnerships Tyler McBride welcomes the challenge of working to drive media revenue distribution and brand visibility across the league, per SBJ’s Austin Karp, who notes McBride works with media rights consulting firm Octagon to gather and disseminate distribution methodology data to member institutions, ensuring they understand how the models drive conference payouts. He also coordinates game production, talent and ACC Huddle efforts alongside ESPN partners, while evaluating fan consumption trends across digital platforms. “I try to be a resource for our schools and ESPN in kind of making sure not only are we doing everything we can to drive tune-in, but drive crowds to those. … We’re very bullish on ACC Network and our ESPN relationship, and so [I’m] trying to make sure I understand all the different components of the ESPN app or the YouTube TV dynamic and just the different ways that distributors are making things easier for the consumer.” (link)

ABC captured the top three college football viewership windows of the week, led by Texas' matchup against Tennessee with 9.7M viewers, according to The Athletic's Stewart Mandel. ABC's slate also featured Ole Miss-Florida (8.3M) and Texas A&M-LSU (5.7M). Across other networks, NBC drew 4.6M viewers for Oregon-USC, CBS pulled 4.5M for Iowa-Michigan, and Fox posted 3.9M for Northwestern-Indiana along with 3.7M for Illinois-Ohio State. ESPN registered 2.9M for South Carolina-Alabama and 2.6M for Oklahoma-Georgia, while all other broadcasts drew under 1.5M viewers. (link)

D1Baseball’s Mark Etheridge catches up with several coaches, including Mississippi State HC Brian O'Connor, LSU HC Jay Johnson, Kentucky HC Nick Mingione, Texas HC Jim Schlossnagle, and Texas A&M Recruiting Coordinator Nolan Cain, to gauge how they’re navigating the new five-year eligibility window. Most interesting comments…

➤ Johnson on the roster dynamics of managing draft prospects alongside veteran talent: "I think there’s a thought, whether it’s Coach (Mike) Bianco, Coach (Dave) Van Horn, or Coach (Jim) Schlossnagle, constantly talking about really being old to be successful in the league. Like that’s a clear advantage if you have age on your side. I think it is an interesting concept because if you do have the super high-end player right now, you’re losing them after three years."

➤ Mingione on difficult redshirt conversations with players and parents: "Well, we don’t have to have those conversations anymore. And parents and players, like student-athletes, they don’t have to make those decisions. They just know that, ‘Hey, I got this year, and I’m going to do whatever I can to help. And I got five of these.’ So, in some ways, it makes it easier for everybody."

➤ O'Connor on the freedom to play reserve athletes without wasting eligibility: "I’ve had many players before, you’re deciding, do you put them in there for this inning? And sometimes that leads to them becoming an integral pla. You see something in a few at-bats or an inning, and all of a sudden, they’re a key player in the back half of the year. And you’ve been so reluctant to do that in the past. And now this does give coaches and players the freedom, just, ‘Okay, just play them. Play who should play.’"

➤ Cain on high school recruiting strategy versus transfer portal evaluation: "I don’t think you can go try to recruit a high school player and be like, ‘Oh, this guy’s going to be here for five years.’ I mean, at our level, if you’re recruiting that player, that’s not a good place to be. ... I want to be recruiting the best players because I want to be fighting the draft out of high school for 90% of my high school class. And then when you’re doing that, you’re expecting them to come in and do what they’re supposed to and be out of here in their junior year." (link)
