“For the ADs, it remains a lonely, stressful existence in what is the hardest job in sports business.”
Abe Madkour
Sports Business Journal Publisher & Executive Editor on current marketplace challenges for athletic directors, including the rise of coaches having more power than ever and boards and presidents increasingly usurping authority from ADs.

Sports Business Journal Publisher & Executive Editor Abe Madkour writes on some current marketplace challenges for ADs, starting with this insight from a former AD: “I never allowed my coaches to be in a meeting alone with our university president.” Madkour points to two high-profile open AD chairs at Miami (FL) & Florida State where university leadership, as well as the Head Football Coach in Coral Gables, appear to be calling all the shots for Athletics with little urgency to hire a new AD. Specifically on the Canes: “Sources have told me the school doesn’t seem to be looking for an AD, but more of a chief sales officer to drive revenue.” Madkour in conclusion: “Board members and presidents are growing more and more resentful of the lucrative salaries paid to conference commissioners and ADs. It’s common for ADs to outearn their presidents, and certainly for commissioners to make more, but that has fueled bitterness and tension in boardroom meetings. So, where are we? Successful coaches have more power than ever; boards and presidents are increasingly usurping authority from ADs; and for the ADs, it remains a lonely, stressful existence in what is the hardest job in sports business.” (link)
Nike quietly updated its investor relations website to state simply “NIKE IS A SPORT COMPANY,” stripping away previous messaging that labeled the brand a “Growth Company” with “innovative, must-have products,” according to SportsVerse publisher Daniel-Yaw Miller. Here’s why it matters…
➤ The subtle pivot reflects the corporation's broader financial struggles, culminating in a recent quarter where revenue fell 5% to $11.2B. The apparel giant's stock hit 12-year lows in August, prompting a downgrade from Bank of America and removal from the S&P 100 amid fallout from an abandoned DTC push under former CEO & current Stanford AD John Donahoe.
➤ Subsidiary labels are also lagging, with Converse posting 13 consecutive quarters of double-digit sales declines and Jordan Brand suffering from an over-reliance on retro sneaker models.
➤ Miller: "The statement about Nike being a growth company that creates innovative products and delivers one-of-a-kind retail experiences went from an accurate assertion to an awkward hangover of a bygone era. ... There is little else Nike is able to say, so it is forced to state the most unbelievably obvious thing about itself. 'Nike Is A Sport Company' is the same thing as Apple feeling the need to describe itself as a tech company." (link)
Meanwhile, The Business of Fashion’s Mike Sykes breaks down how Adidas’ projected full-year revenue will climb between 9% and 10% toward the $30B mark behind strong performances in football, training, running, and lifestyle footwear, according to a preliminary earnings report. While a recent Morgan Stanley report showed the company's share of sales among the top 20 industry players slipped from 23% in 2015 to 19% in 2025, chief rival Nike experienced a sharper decline from 33% to 25% (or 30% including Jordan Brand) as challenger brands pulled consumer attention across an industry projected to expand from $440B in 2025 to $558B by 2030. CEO Bjørn Gulden noted the company has maintained pricing discipline across footwear and apparel despite broader headwinds across the lifestyle sector: "In the report, the CEO cited strength in football, training and running as key drivers of the company’s growth. He also noted the company’s strength in its lifestyle business across its footwear and apparel collections. He called the lifestyle environment 'challenging,' but said Adidas has remained disciplined on pricing and marketplace presence." (link)
One more note from the shoe & apparel world: Sportico’s Scott Soshnick reports that LIV Golf is set to name former TaylorMade President and CEO/Adidas North America President Mark King as Senior Advisor. King will chair and assemble an advisory board. (link)
NC State has parted ways with Football HC Dave Doeren. Running Backs Coach/Special Teams Coordinator Todd Goebbel will serve as interim HC for the remainder of the season. (link); The Wolfpack have also dismissed Football GM Andy Vaughn, per ABC11/WTVD’s Kate Rogerson. (link)
Looks like Cal Football HC Tosh Lupoi’s five-year contract was finalized October 1. There was a one-time signing bonus of $100K, base salary for each year of $275K, plus a “Talent Fee” for off-the-field obligations which averages to $4.225M annually. Total guaranteed comp is $22.6M, working out to $4.5M per year. If the Bears part ways with Lupoi early, the buyout is a minimum of 80% of the remaining base salary and talent fee. On the flipside, if Lupoi departs before the end of this season he owes $5M, a number which drops by $1M each year. Perks: one courtesy car, fees for the country club of his choice will be covered, plus $200K for eight regular season wins, $150K for making the first round of the College Football Playoff, $750K for winning a natty, $40K for any bowl game and $25K for beating Stanford in the regular season. Academic bonuses include $60K for 3.0+ collective GPA and max out at $150K. If Cal achieves 17 regular-season wins over two consecutive seasons during the term of the contract, the school agrees to a “look-in period” to renegotiate the terms of compensation. (link)
According to 2024 tax filings, Men’s Basketball HC Chris Collins was the highest-paid employee at Northwestern that year, earning $3.976M in total compensation. Football HC David Braun is third on the list, earning more than $3.106M that year. AD Mark Jackson (5th) and VP for Athletic Strategy Derrick Gragg (11th) earned $2.279M and $1.481M, respectively. NU listed 34 employees who earned a total of about $41.6M. This figure marks a 3.74% increase from the $40.1M paid to its 37 highest-compensated employees in 2023. (link)
Front Office Sports and Teamworks released the Teamworks State of AI in Sports 2026 report, revealing a stark disconnect between artificial intelligence adoption and measurable financial returns across the sports ecosystem. While 90% of sports organizations expect their AI usage to increase over the next two to three years and 79% expanded their investments over the past 12 months, only 15% can currently demonstrate clear ROI. The research, which surveyed 164 collegiate and professional organizations, indicates that fragmented, department-level purchasing serves as the primary operational bottleneck. Key findings…
➤ Organizations deploying AI against an organization-wide strategy report clear ROI at a 37% rate, compared to just 2% for those adopting tools one department at a time.
➤ Respondents cited integrating existing systems as their top planned investment (58%), while only 12% plan to replace a core system. Buyers prioritize accuracy (77%) and data security (65%) far above the sophistication of the underlying model (9%) when evaluating new products.
➤ Athletic departments historically purchased separate software platforms for different internal functions, leaving medical data in one system, scouting data in another, and performance metrics in a third. Because artificial intelligence requires unified data to function effectively, this software fragmentation severely limits the technology's ability to generate actionable insights. When an organization consolidates its data into a connected record (one to three systems), AI tools can analyze the complete athlete profile to produce a clear return on investment—defined by the report as measurable financial gains or definitively improved operational decisions—67% of the time. When that data remains scattered across a fragmented record (four or more systems), AI tools fail to connect the dots, causing the ROI success rate to plummet to just one in eight. (link)
NIL Newsstand conducted a Group of Six "Major Gifts Q&A” roundtable with Boise State Assoc. VP for Development Bryan Beals, Tulane Executive Assoc. AD for Development Justin Berger, South Alabama Assoc. AD for Development Jeff Cummings, Florida Atlantic Deputy AD for Revenue Generation Michael Graffin, Delaware Senior Assoc. AD for Development Casey Macdonald, Miami (OH) Asst. VP of Development/Assoc. AD of Revenue Generation Brad Okel and James Madison Senior Assoc. AD for Development and Strategic Revenue Scooter Renkin where they shared candid, practical insights on donor behavior, program strategy, leadership alignment and the relationships that turn interest into significant support. Here’s what you need to know…
➤ What would you tell an AD to prioritize over the next 24 months to build a stronger major gift program? Berger: “Focus on your current donors and invest in the retention of top fundraisers. Your current donors are your best prospects for future support, and strengthening your relationships with them will deepen their investment in your organization.” Macdonald: “Look for the donors who may be flying under the radar. Place emphasis on donors who may be giving at the $5K to $10K level but have limited engagement with the athletic director. These donors have already shown affinity for the athletic department and with some intentional cultivation, there is opportunity for increased support.” Okel: “Build a team focused on developing a major gift pipeline. … With revenue sharing and the growing financial demands of college athletics, having a consistent pipeline of major gift prospects is more important than ever.”
➤ Where can an AD's involvement create the greatest value in the process to secure major gifts? Beals: “Early in the giving process, but later in the relationship stage, is the best time for the AD to be involved. If they are involved in the relationship too early, the leverage of meeting with/getting to know the AD is lost.” Berger: “It takes big ideas to close big gifts. I believe athletic directors can maximize their impact by setting and articulating a clear vision of big ideas, and being consistent with that vision. Our AD’s time is limited. He can’t meet individually with every donor in our base, but every donor in our base can be inspired by his vision and want to be a part of helping make it a reality.” (link)
UCLA's central budget deficit for FY26 was $58M – roughly $162M lower than initial projections of $220M – driven by one-time revenue inflows and reduced administrative spending, according to the Daily Bruin's Lauren Nguyen. Chancellor Julio Frenk identified Athletics as a primary driver of the ongoing campus financial strain, operating with an estimated deficit exceeding $200M, and Academic Senate Chair Tim Groeling noted the athletic department has increasingly relied on central administration subsidies for over five years despite its mandate to be self-sustaining. Groeling urged administrators to shield academic resources from future budget reductions to preserve the university's core mission: "CPB (Council on Planning and Budget) and The Academic Senate as a whole continue to strongly advise that UCLA should not make any freezes or cuts to academic units without first looking outside of academic units to close the budget gap. Cuts to academic units in an era of increasing enrollments only increase class sizes, and may impact support services critical to student success." (link)
The Blade’s Emma Finer examines the process to bring Toledo’s ‘Glass City Edition’ alternate branding concept to life, noting the effort took more than six months, a half-dozen people in the creative department and a lot of trial and error. Asst. AD of Creative Solutions and Brand Strategy Ellen Holton: “Everyone had been bouncing ideas off of each other my first year here, and the Glass City branding was born out of randomly seeing light blue in our jerseys. Baseball has a pretty iconic light blue, soccer has incorporated it in their jersey, and we kept asking why can’t we incorporate that color more.” Initial design inspiration, featuring a script ‘Glass City’ on the light blue background, came over the summer when Holton and Asst. Director of Graphic Design Jacob Tracy viewed other schools’ alternate uniform looks as well as MLB’s ‘City Connect’ uniforms. The design was pitched to AD Tom Moreland, who loved the concept, and ‘Glass City Edition’ was officially released August 20 to be used throughout the Rockets’ athletic season. (link)
Premier League clubs including Arsenal, Manchester City, and Aston Villa are installing smart urinals at their training facilities to track player hydration in real-time. Kamleon developed the "S-Urinals" over four years, incorporating a touchscreen that allows players to log their identity before built-in sensors analyze urine specific gravity, color, volume, and electrolyte concentration. The system immediately sends a hydration score out of 100 directly to the medical staff, eliminating tedious manual testing. The technology addresses a 2020 study revealing that 66.2% of assessed professional players were either hypohydrated or dehydrated. The Athletic’s Gregg Evans notes Manchester United recently added the units as part of a £50M facility upgrade, and the product is currently expanding across La Liga, the NBA, and the NFL. Kamleon CEO Jordi Ferre: “The benefit of real-time feedback allows immediate action. Hydration is very dynamic, so it makes sense to act on the problem straight away rather than a day later, after data has been analysed, which was often the case in the old way.” (link)
Social Media Following Connected to Roster Spend?
The goal of this analysis is to understand the relationship between the size and strength of players' online personas and the financial machine behind each team. For this issue I worked with Student Athlete Score (SAS), which built one of the first platforms tracking NIL and social media performance across college athletics — brand deals, follower growth, engagement, and audience demographics, down to the individual player. Multimedia rights holders and scouting organizations already use it to evaluate athlete value.
Social Sourcing. I pulled the 50 most-followed football players at every Power 4 school across Instagram, TikTok, and X. Next, I added players’ core composite metric (what SAS aptly calls the Student Athlete Score) for an athlete's brand/NIL market value built from social reach, engagement, and marketability that ranges from 0-100. Lastly, I matched those rosters against what each school spends on football, line by line, using NCAA Membership Financial Reporting System (MFRS) filings.
Methodology. I regressed total SAS across each school's top 50 on the log of its football budget. The relationship is strong: football spending explains roughly one-third of the variance in roster SAS value. Money moves the needle, but not far: a 10% bigger football budget is worth about 39 points of cumulative SAS value, which is less than the gap between two schools spending the same amount.
Roster reach is not an asset you own. At the median program, one athlete account holds about 15% of the roster's entire following; at Illinois it is 60%, at Oregon 55%. That is portfolio concentration risk, and it can exit through the transfer portal or graduation. If you report roster reach to a board or a sponsor, report the concentration number beside it.
The cheapest lever is free. Your budget explains about a third of where you sit. TikTok adoption, which costs nothing, explains 8% beyond that — and adoption ranges from 8% at BYU to 74% at Florida State. That gap is a decision, not a resource constraint.
The uncomfortable part. The marketing and promotion line shows no detectable relationship to roster engagement. That does not prove content operations don't work; with 46 schools I can rule out a moderate-or-larger effect, not a small one. But it does mean the current spend is not producing a difference large enough to see across the entire sample, which is a reasonable thing to ask about internally.

A bit more from Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark on the potential for a new tentpole football event with the coming elimination of league championship games. Yormark to CBS Sports Eye on College Basketball podcast host Gary Parrish: “We need to replace that and I'd like to replace it with some type of conference football moment. What that is today I can't speak to, but we have some ideas. ... That first Saturday in December is open. Presumably, if expansion happens and the champ game goes away, how do we replace it? It could be a basketball event. Who knows? I'm in the IP business. I want to create events. I want to be able to monetize those events. I want those events to help grow our profile and narrative, and I want to give great special opportunities to student-athletes." (link)
Kentucky AD J. Batt was the latest guest on CRO.ticker’s Margins of Victory podcast with host/LMU AD Craig Pintens. Batt sits down to discuss the financial mechanisms driving the athletic department, plans for a mixed-use entertainment district surrounding Kroger Field, how UK is capitalizing on the football team's 5-1 (at time of recording, now 6-1) start and more. Key takeaways…
➤ Converting game-day environments into revenue: "You can throw the best fundraising party ever, but if you don't call on the back end to make the ask, you wasted the party. And so, in some ways, when you throw a great big party in a stadium with 60K of your closest friends, you’ve got to make sure that you capitalize from a revenue perspective on the back end.”
➤ Financial agility provided by the Champions Blue LLC model: "The ability to take advantage of an opportunity, emerging space, and whether it's adding staff quickly, creating incentivized opportunities, all of those things are really important of how do you manage the business and excel through a period which, as we know, is continued in significant change in college athletics almost constantly."
➤ Evaluating the hidden costs of stadium renovations: "You've really got to be thoughtful about, ‘hey, what's it going to cost to build? What's the capital available to build it?’ … And then you've also got to be thoughtful about the operating expenses. And I think that's one that often gets forgotten about in that model." (link)
Purdue AD Tommy McClelland is focused on converting donor and fan enthusiasm into the financial resources required to compete in the Big Ten, according to Sports Business Journal’s Matt Fortuna. McClelland: "There’s a fabric of integrity at this place that is palatable. They want to win. They are super competitive, but they are proud to know that coaches like Matt Painter are doing it the right way, and that Barry Odom is doing it the right way, that Dave Shondell is doing it the right way, and so those are things that align with my values. I am competitive, I want to win, but I want to make sure I do it at a place that’s grounded in who they are and how they want to define success on and off the field." (link)
Temple AD Arthur Johnson pushed back against Villanova HC Kevin Willard’s claim that he was responsible for the Wildcats' exclusion from the Big 5’s return to a five-team round-robin schedule in 2027-28, telling OwlsDaily’s Shawn Pastor that Villanova's scheduling and revenue distribution demands alienated the rest of the city series. Under Villanova’s proposal to reduce its commitment from three games to two, the event would have used previous-year NET rankings to seed two three-team pods, ensuring the Wildcats would host every pod contest and only travel to the championship tripleheader at Xfinity Mobile Arena. Johnson: "We all benefit by playing Villanova. But we all don't benefit by going to Villanova's place every time, that every time we play them it's got to be on one of their home courts. ... The question that came up was, 'Will we go there two or three years in a row?' My people can't get tickets at their place. It's not like they have a bunch of tickets. Winning on the road is hard. So it's a huge advantage. And they wanted to get the game for free. And then you go to their second home. So they get two home games." (link)
Spartan Ventures President/CCO Jared Kozinn sat down with host Brendan Walsh on the Enthusiastic Life podcast to discuss the creation of Spartan Ventures, the technological evolution of the sports industry, positive aspects of NIL and more. Here are some takeaways…
➤ "There's nobody that works in college athletics that believes that this is sustainable as it is today. I think we're all in favor of reform in some way to have competitive balance, to have continuity, so many reasons. But yeah, there are opportunities for student-athletes to want to stay in school longer. They can make money as college athletes. They have more optionality. There are student-athletes that may not otherwise, if they didn't turn pro, wouldn't be able to provide for their family and they're able to do that at Michigan State and at great institutions across the country. That's an awesome thing to see."
➤ "You talk about corporate partnerships. When I got into the business, it was leading with signage, right? Hard static signage, and you'd have some digital, and now everything that we're doing, you're leading with digital and you're maybe supporting with traditional. I’ve seen that shift there. Our ability from a marketing standpoint to measure marketing success and to be able to track different campaigns and see what's working for us and what's not, I mean, the technology I think has been unbelievable. Sports is as much a tech business as it is anything else these days."
➤ “What it really comes down for me still is relationships. There's a lot of different places for brands to advertise, but working with a partner who's going to bleed for your brand, who's going to make sure that your brand and your business objectives and your community impact strategy and the reasons why you're doing the partnerships are executed to the fullest, that still resonates as the most important thing to me.” (link)
Marwan Saidi’s recent experience attempting to renew his Seminole Boosters pledge and numbers showing a 17% decline in FY26 individual donors illustrate the hidden costs of losing supporters who have already committed money to Florida State, per Tomahawk Nation’s Jon Loesche. Saidi: “The kid who answered took my name and said that my ‘booster rep’ would call me back. I have never received a call back.” Here’s more…
➤ Seminole Boosters President/CEO Stephen Ponder acknowledged problems with communication, recordkeeping and follow-up: "We missed on this one for sure but are using it to remind the staff of importance of follow-up. ... We haven’t been able to maximize the number of recurring giving donors until recently. We launched this program this year."
➤ The donor decline coincides with a drop in football season ticket sales, which fell 18.3% from 34,060 sold in 2023 to 27,838 in 2026. While overall donor counts dropped, high-level giving grew, with former Noles AD Michael Alford reporting Coaches Club contributions rose from roughly $3M to $11.1M despite the group's donor base shrinking by approximately 23% to 1,349 in FY25. (link)
North Carolina has partnered with startup Roam Technologies to launch officially licensed drinkware that combines university licensing, sponsorship revenue, and athlete NIL opportunities into a single agreement, according to The News & Observer’s Michael McCleary. Heels Deputy AD/Chief Revenue Officer Rick Barakat notes the athletic department has executed roughly six hybrid licensing-sponsorship deals over the past year to show outside brands it can move quickly on commercial ventures: "That’s something that we can kind of flaunt in the market. 'Hey, we’ve got this figured out, we’re ready to go.' … We want to be one of your guinea pigs or pilot schools." (link)
Ball State has officially cut the ribbon on the Eric Foss Championship Performance Center, an 11K square foot building named after the 1980 graduate, who provided a lead gift of $4M toward the nearly $8M needed for the project. (link)

Sportico’s Anthony Crupi opines it's not hard to see why ESPN was so eager to expand the College Football Playoff with the SEC having dominated early-season college football TV viewership to the tune of seven of the top 10 most-watched programs through the first seven weeks of the 2026 campaign, per Nielsen data. Texas leads the way with an overall average of 8.40M viewers per window, anchored by its Week 2 ABC matchup against Ohio State, which stands as the most-watched game of the 2026 campaign (13.99M viewers). In fact, ESPN’s “broadcast sibling” ABC accounts for eight of the top 10 overall game broadcasts, powered by its Saturday Night Football package averaging nearly 9M weekly viewers as linear TV's third-ranked primetime property behind only NBC’s Sunday Night Football (22.43M viewers) and ESPN/ABC’s Monday Night Football (19.27M). Fox captured two of the top-10 slots via Big Noon Saturday (Ohio State-Indiana at 10.38M and Oklahoma-Michigan at 8.22M). (link)
ESPN College GameDay set up back-to-back shows in the state of Utah, following a stop at BYU with a trip to Salt Lake City for Utah's matchup tonight against Houston, reports The Salt Lake Tribune’s Jason Batacao. The network announced the Provo broadcast for the Notre Dame game drew the largest audience of the season and ranked as the third-most-watched regular-season episode in the program's history. The 40-minute drive between campuses created a logistical reprieve for the production staff, while university officials in Salt Lake City actively sought ways to top their rival's television showing. Operations specialist Jake Daigle: "On a normal season, we’re going everywhere. Being able to stay in the state of Utah, specifically, has been amazing. An hour drive between Provo and Salt Lake makes life super, super easy. I will say, after the grind of the first half of the season that we’ve experienced, this was a welcome break for our drivers.” (link)
Michigan’s sidelining of former five-star quarterback Bryce Underwood is serving as a cautionary tale for college football front offices navigating roster valuation and NIL spending, writes FOX Sports’ Ben Portnoy. While the top-ranked passer in the 2025 class arrived in Ann Arbor on a deal valued into the tens of millions of dollars with assistance from mega-booster/Oracle founder Larry Ellison, personnel departments nationwide are pivoting resources away from high school prospects toward proven collegiate talent. Portnoy notes that transfers currently secure more than double the compensation of an average prep signee, with their share of total roster payroll jumping from 36% to 54% over the past year. An anonymous Power Four GM: "It highlights how strictly GMs will be evaluated moving forward. There's a real cost to having money on the sidelines. If you have too much of it, there will likely be consequences." (link)
On his personal Substack, ESPN’s David Hale examines how shifting payroll distribution has flattened the talent curve and created a "squishy middle" defined by parity across college football. Citing data on Power Four roster spending, Here’s his thesis…
➤ Hale notes that while nine programs invest over $40M and 13 spend between $30M and $40M, a dense tier of 45 teams sits between $14M and $28M, thinning the overall talent pool and reducing the weekly advantages historically enjoyed by blue bloods.
➤ Tracking the narrow margin for error in the ACC, Hale finds that adjusting results by a single touchdown swings Boston College from its current standing to 0-6, while Louisville could sit at 7-0 with just three additional points per game.
➤ "Now, all of those teams spending money are helping to thin out the overall talent pool, so even the ones spending at the top don’t have as much of an advantage as the blue bloods of years past had. But also, the marginal difference in wins between spending, say, $17M and $23M is probably negligible from week to week. Over the course of a full season, spending more probably helps a great deal because it buys you depth and margin of error. But in a sample size of one, a distribution that looks like this can create all kinds of wonky outcomes." (link)
