“I’ve heard this a lot in my time: ‘Why change anything?’ Because that couldn’t continue — not if you want to win. I felt like there were some things we needed to do differently if we were even going to achieve the same results.”

ESPN’s Pete Thamel reports Alabama is “amid the process of a two-year contract extension for Athletic Director Greg Byrne, which would bring him through the 2032-33 season. The deal will be discussed by the University of Alabama system compensation committee on Monday. The Alabama system compensation committee posted today indicating they are planning to meet about Byrne’s contract. Byrne … is currently on a deal through the 2030-31 season.” (link)

As the Protect College Sports Act nears a vote, power conference executives are drafting a "Plan B" self-governance framework to enforce a hard $48.8M revenue-share limit and restrict third-party NIL deals through the College Sports Commission. Key notes…

➤ Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger reports the aim is to finalize a unified spending cap prior to the January transfer portal to curb the ongoing practice of schools exceeding the current $21.3M base soft cap via school-affiliated corporate sponsors.

➤ Dellenger also reports the CSC recently denied nearly 500 deals worth $67M over a two-month span, while clearing over 12K contracts worth $225M, drawing resistance from plaintiff attorneys protective of the original antitrust settlement terms.

➤ House plaintiffs’ attorney Steve Berman warned that conferences cannot unilaterally mandate external spending constraints without judicial and plaintiff approval: "There is no cap on the amount of NIL deals. We would not agree to change that. That would be trying to restrict competition. We wouldn't favor that."

➤ Should the leagues develop their own cap in a self-governance model, Berman warns that it's "not possible without our permission. They have to come to the table. [U.S. District Court Judge Wilken] would be very suspicious of conference-generated changes, in particular the cap." (link)

Former congressional staffer Peter Mills joined Sportico's Daniel Libit to detail his frustrations with the Senate's momentum toward passing the Protect College Sports Act, arguing the legislation undermines college athletes' collective bargaining rights by providing antitrust exemptions to the NCAA. Serving as Senator Chris Murphy's (D-CT) legislative assistant from 2018 to 2025, Mills ran point on college sports reform but grew disillusioned after a 2020 collaborative framework between Murphy and Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) splintered over differing strategies on labor rights and the creation of a federal oversight commission. Here’s what you need to know…

➤ On Booker’s forceful opposition in recent weeks: “I think it speaks to where things are now from where they were. I think he still wants a law, but he and [Senator Richard] Blumenthal have stopped working on their bill as much, once Commerce took over, and they probably had the same feeling we had: ‘We aren’t running the ship anymore, what they are putting forward is really bad, and we aren’t even going to get credit for it.’”

➤ The decision by Booker and Blumenthal to push a bill focused on a federal commission rather than labor rights: “Whatever this bill says, it has to say something about labor rights. And they refused to include anything about labor rights because Senator Booker clearly did not believe athletes could organize. ... Every commission that is set up by industry leaders gets co-opted and is functionally meaningless. For whatever reason, [Blumenthal and Booker] were really, really set on having a commission as part of the framework. It was a big concession that we would still support this even though we really didn’t want that in there.”

➤ Advising Sen. Maria Cantwell's (D-WA) staff to avoid compromising with Republicans to pass the PCSA: "I kept emphasizing, ‘Please don’t feel the need, if you get into negotiations with Senator Cruz (R-TX), to move forward.’ I would emphasize that to them, and they seemed to agree with that, saying ‘We won’t do that.’ So, the disappointing thing is to look at the bill and say, ‘Oh, they did that.’ They gave an antitrust exemption to one of the worst antitrust violators.” (link)

Colorado State FAR and professor/Sacred Cow BBQ publisher Kyle Saunders assigned a 30-40% probability that the Protect College Sports Act will be enacted this Congress, noting the legislation faces a contentious lame-duck session when the House reconvenes on November 9. Saunders points out that House Republicans are pushing for an outright athlete employment ban and a 20% cap on international athletes, while the Congressional Black Caucus and other Democrats oppose the bill's antitrust exemptions. Saunders: "As I’ve said multiple times, this always seemed to me like, if it was going to happen, it would happen in a lame duck because it was the likely place for action on this all along. Remember though, even then and there, there’s a good chance the House doesn’t just adopt the Senate bill as is. It could fundamentally change it, which means a round of legislative ping-pong with very little time on the clock, or it could fail to find the votes at all, in which case the bill dies and we start this whole conversation over from scratch with the new Congress."

Get your first looks inside Northwestern’s completed Ryan Field ahead of Friday’s debut. (link, link); Also check out the players’ reactions to their new locker room. (link); The Wildcats announced over the weekend that “due to unprecedented demand from the Northwestern student body, Northwestern Athletics is increasing the number of student tickets available for the opening game of New Ryan Field against Penn State. This increase is in addition to the initial student ticket allocation of 3,000 which is more than double past student attendance. The 3,500 students who attended the Welcome Event at New Ryan Field earlier this week will have the first chance to claim one of the now 3,500 student tickets available on Monday September 28th while other students will have a chance to claim any remaining tickets on Tuesday September 29th.” (link)

Northwestern AD Mark Jackson and President Mung Chiang unveiled a statue honoring Pat Ryan Sr. at the new Ryan Field. Jackson notes the tribute highlights “nearly 50 years of leadership at Northwestern – including his role as Chair & Vice-Chair of the Board of Trustees. No one has done more to advance NU academics & athletics to the highest order of excellence.” (link)

Michigan State AD Dan Bartholomae has prioritized roster funding and revenue generation as he takes the helm of a department navigating large-scale financial projects, including the $500M reconstruction of Spartan Stadium's east side. Bartholomae says the stadium modernization remains on schedule, with major demolition slated for November 2027 and completion expected ahead of the 2029 season, as the university finalizes premium inventory commitments. MSU is also evaluating the Spartan Stadium District, a proposed public-private mixed-use real estate development featuring hotels, housing, and retail surrounding the campus athletic core. Meanwhile, Bartholomae notes that all 23 varsity programs will receive dedicated support as the department scales its NIL and overall revenue capabilities to meet the financial realities of modern college sports, adding: "My primary goal has been to put ourselves financially, whether it’s through fundraising or other means, in a position to have really competitive rosters. ... We want to be great in everything. Those programs aren’t second class, so we’re not going to treat them that way." (link, link)

Creighton AD Marcus Blossom has overhauled the athletic department's financial infrastructure during his five-year tenure, steering the $300M "Fly Together" campus renovation initiative and orchestrating succession plans for men's basketball and baseball, the OMaha World-Herald’s Jon Walker observes. Here are the goods…

➤ Department revenue metrics climbed under Blossom, highlighted by a 16% increase in overall fundraising, a 64% jump in corporate sponsorships, and a $5M boost in men's basketball revenue since 2022. Further, the Bluejays generated an additional $1.5M in revenue last season by shifting the CHI Health Center student section to add premium courtside seats, while also instituting a 6.5% competitive excellence fee on men's basketball tickets.

➤ Blossom acknowledged there is friction that accompanies pricing adjustments and other shifts but tells Walker: "I’ve heard this a lot in my time: ‘Why change anything?’ Because that couldn’t continue — not if you want to win. I felt like there were some things we needed to do differently if we were even going to achieve the same results. ... Now, the resources need to match the expectations. You can’t have those expectations change and not expect me to ask for some more money, or for ticket prices to be the same as they were in 2014." (link)

Cal State Fullerton AD Shondell Reed Q&As with the Journey Out West podcast about the return to his alma mater, the recent wave of 5-for-5 eligibility injunctions, the economics of competing in the Big West and more. Here’s what he had to say…

➤ The economics of the Big West not sponsoring football: "Your revenue is a little bit higher, your payouts are a little bit higher and you have a little bit more resources to work with when you have a football program and you have a football conference. So, in some respects in terms of rules and some of the different headaches that may come with running a football league, you don't have to deal with those. But there's also the flip side of that, which is sometimes the revenues aren't as high."

➤ Finding stability amid NIL and revenue-sharing changes: "If you got into this business to work with young people, to work with student-athletes … you can still do that in college athletics. ... Irrespective of how revenue sharing changes or NIL or irrespective of how any of those things spin, at the heart of it, if you're an athletic administrator, you're still doing that." (link)

Western Michigan has been searching for a new athletic director since Dan Bartholomae left for the top job at Michigan State in August, with Elaine Russell running the department on an interim basis. Whoever takes over inherits a department that's won the MAC's Directors' Cup title three years running, a $1.25B university campaign still in progress, and a donor base that just backed a new Football Alumni Center and a locker room gift from Board of Trustees chair Alan Turfe's own Zhang Financial co-founders. The full breakdown, including leadership, compensation benchmarking, donor networks, and more, is in the D1.dossiers report, available now. (link)

ESPN's David Hale takes to his Substack to evaluate the statistical impact of penalties on college football scoring efficiency, utilizing Power Four data to conclude that offensive infractions carry minimal consequences compared to defensive flags. Drives with zero offensive penalties yielded 2.19 points per drive, dropping marginally to 2.10 with one penalty and 1.91 with two or more. In contrast, defensive penalties doubled an opponent's scoring probability, as drives with zero defensive flags allowed 1.88 points, while one flag increased the output to 3.31 points and two or more resulted in 4.65 points per drive. Hale: "In a macro sense, there’s no evidence [they] have a dramatic impact on points scored. ... A flag changes distance, but not down. The offense can call plays based on the new situation. ... Defensive penalties though? Those are a problem. ... A defensive flag effectively doubles the likelihood of the opponent scoring on that drive. Again, the reasons are obvious: Most defensive penalties are 10 or 15 yards. They come with automatic first downs. They don’t give the offense a do over. They give the offense a complete fresh set of downs.” (link)

Streetwear brand UNDEFEATED is partnering with CLC's College Vault program to launch an inaugural 13-team college football apparel capsule. The collection utilizes archived logos from programs including Alabama, Auburn, Georgia Tech, LSU, and Texas A&M, with retail availability spanning the brand's physical locations in New York, Phoenix, and Los Angeles, as well as its website. A second collection focused on college basketball will follow in December. (link)

PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp tells The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand he believes sports packages will have to change, with leagues tailoring their offerings to media companies rather than the other way around. “Netflix knows what they want. And Netflix has been pretty clear we want big events, we want them to be global. That’s what they’re leaning into. Christmas Day seems to be working for them on the NFL. That’s why they took a swing at the All-Star Game. That’s a lot different than saying give me 25 weeks of programming that I can rely on like the regional sports network used to have. That’s just different.” (link)

Prediction markets operate on a fundamentally different mechanism than traditional sports betting by relying on institutional market makers rather than a single sportsbook setting the price, according to Front Office Sports' Ben Horney, who sets out to demystify the process. Firms like Susquehanna and Jump Trading, alongside the market-making arms of Kalshi, Polymarket, DraftKings and FanDuel, provide liquidity by posting bid and ask prices that allow consumers to trade out of positions without being restricted to a platform's specific cash-out offer. Robinhood VP/GM of Futures and Prediction Markets JB Mackenzie points out that a singular market maker taking the opposite side of all trades would constitute an illegal contract for difference. Put another way, to operate legally in the U.S., prediction markets cannot act as "the house." Instead, they must function as open exchanges where users trade against other users or independent institutional "market makers," ensuring the platform itself doesn't have a vested financial interest in the users losing their trades.

USA Today’s John Brice went behind-the-scenes with Boise State’s Jeramiah Dickey during the Broncos’ football victory over South Dakota earlier in the month, shadowing Dickey through a gameday routine full of fan interactions, media duties and team support. It’s a day that began with a live appearance on ESPN's College GameDay, “discussing the only thing in Idaho that rivals potatoes and skiing in popularity: Boise State's famous blue turf.” Three months shy of completing his sixth full year in charge, Dickey oversees a department fresh off $42M in FY26 fundraising, marking the program's fifth consecutive year securing $20M or more in donations. Broncos Senior Assoc. AD for External Affairs Chris Kutz: “He fights, fights for Boise State and speaks out for Boise State. I think that resonates with 98% of the people." The results are tangible with the Lyle Smith Society now boasting 350 members, up from fewer than 50, and season-ticket football sales of 22K, the most since 2013. One place Dickey loves to be is on the gameday sidelines around the student-athletes: “This, being down here around the guys, this fills my bucket. Especially in the climate and environment we’re in.” (link)

Meanwhile, Boise State President Dr. David Hahn announced the university is issuing a Request for Proposals to hire a development advisor to evaluate a large-scale redevelopment project on the east side of Albertsons Stadium. Spearheaded initially by Broncos AD Jeramiah Dickey and guided by campus COO Annie Hightower, the project aims to generate sustainable non-traditional revenue streams for Boise State Athletics and the broader institution by exploring potential uses including hotel, conference, event, retail, dining, housing, and parking spaces. Hahn: "College athletics is changing rapidly. Universities across the country are pursuing large-scale developments to generate new resources and remain competitive in uncharted waters. Boise State is no exception. What distinguishes our approach is its broader ambition: This east campus project is intended to support Athletics and strengthen the entire university. … This is the kind of Out of the Blue Thinking that has long defined Boise State. The status quo is not acceptable. We are committed to realizing our potential as one of America's best universities. " (link)

New Old Dominion AD Tim House brings a blue-collar administrative approach forged during his youth working at his family’s Raleigh Italian restaurant, Casa Carbone Ristorante. House developed his leadership style watching his father, Michael, step in to bus tables when service got busy. Operating in a Norfolk market without a major professional sports franchise or Power Four institution within a two-hour drive, House plans to leverage his fundraising background and the region's large military population to expand the Monarchs' brand while drawing inspiration from former NC State Basketball HC Jim Valvano: "The leadership lessons I lean on the most are what I learned watching him run our family business. ... [Valvano] had a definition of faith: Believe something could happen that hadn’t happened before. And he lived it every single day. That’s my responsibility." (link)

In an interview with the Off the Record podcast, Indiana AD Scott Dolson talked about securing a $50M line of credit for Memorial Stadium infrastructure: "The first path is really what I would call an R&R path. Just making certain that the stadium can handle sellouts from an infrastructure standpoint. They can handle cold weather games. If we host a CFP game in December, well, the pipes freeze. And that path is what the trustees just approved. President [Pamela] Whitten asked for a line of credit of $50M to help put some money behind things that you really can't raise money for." As for the silent phase of the Memorial Stadium modernization campaign: "The other path is really the fan experience, revenue generation, modernizing the stadium just like we did when we created Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. ... We're in the silent phase of a fundraising campaign for that. … We need a couple leadership gifts to really get that off the launching pad." (link)

Northwestern is preparing to open its new $875M Ryan Field next weekend when football hosts Penn State. Sportico’s Daniel Libit caught up with Ryan Sports Development’s Pat Ryan Jr., whose current goal in managing the project is to keep everything on track both on the construction site and in the court of public opinion. To meet the deadline, the project paid union electricians 15% more and flew in 60 workers from the East Coast, while locking in steel prices in 2023 avoided tariffs that would have driven total costs up 49% to $1.3B today. Libit posits the facility will serve as a counterpoint to the prediction that the advent of student-athletes earning money would immediately redirect school and benefactor spending away from pricey athletic infrastructure toward player compensation. Ryan Jr.: “This is a little bit like AI will get rid of radiologists. And it turns out they need more radiologists.” (link)

Northwestern will debut a game day food festival featuring Michelin-star and James Beard Award-winning chefs at the opening of the new $875M Ryan Field. The permanent plaza installation, titled the "Great Chicago Food Festival," will be accessible to all ticketed fans for every football game and concert, launching with pavilions from several local culinary figures. Northwestern also announced the "Great Big Ten Grillout" to provide traditional tailgating fare along with signature dishes from around the conference. Ryan Sports Development CEO Pat Ryan Jr.: “Chicago is a city defined by its great events, and every so often a new one joins the list. The Great Chicago Food Festival is built to be one of them. What makes it different is the lineup and where it happens: the most celebrated names in the best food city in America have each created something new for us, and instead of doing it once a year downtown, we’re doing it at every game and every concert, and it’s included with every ticket." (link)

Also from Evanston: Northwestern GM Christian Sarkisian, a Wildcat alum and former Cincinnati Bengals scout hired in May 2025, oversees roster management, contract negotiations, and revenue sharing for football, men’s and women’s basketball, lacrosse, field hockey, volleyball, and softball. The Chicago Tribune’s Colleen Kane profiles Sarkisian’s running of an eight-person personnel staff that filtered 3K athletes down to 150 targets and 18 football roster additions, while leveraging partnerships with the Kellogg School of Management for analytics and bringing in former Chicago Bears executive Bill Rees to train scouts. Sarkisian: "When there’s chaos, you have to see the opportunity in it... It felt like, hey, if you have a deep understanding of how a front office should operate and how relationships between the front office and coaches should operate, and the benefits that has to the team and organization overall, you could have an upper hand in this. So it was like the stars aligned for that." (link)

TCU AD Mike Buddie talks with the CALS Report about the Horned Frogs’ approach to sharing revenue, legacy naming rights and more. Key takeaways…

➤ On dedicating revenue share exclusively to six sports: "That doesn't mean the other 16 sports that we sponsor aren't as important. It just means that's not where we're spending the great majority of our revenue share. Strategically and publicly, we have just said football, men's basketball, women's basketball, women's soccer, women's volleyball, and baseball. Those are the six sports that we're going to resource using our revenue-share dollars."

➤ Declining to sell corporate naming rights to historic facilities: "TCU was built on the backs of legendary supporters like Amon G. Carter, the Lupton family, the Schollmaier family, and our venues are named after those people. And so we can't go out and find a corporate sponsor to rename our stadium. And quite frankly, we don't want to."

➤ Capping athletic director pay to mirror athlete compensation limits: "If we are going to cap what we can spend and what they can make, then we should cap what we spend and what we make. ... I do think if one side of the equation is going to have some sort of cap, it's only fair that you examine and at least consider a cap on the other side." (link)

A structural pricing cliff hinders college sports venue monetization, with entry-level premium seats costing a median of 93% more than top standard seats across the Group of Six compared to a 19% jump in the Power Four and a 6% discount in the NFL, according to research from Playfly Sports. The report attributes the gap to thin pricing granularity, showing NFL teams average 27.6 price codes per venue versus 12.2 in college football (16.6 in P4 and 8.0 in G6). Steep entry jumps are most pronounced in mid-major conferences, led by the MAC (+158% median jump), American (+138%), and C-USA (+95%), whereas the SEC (+16%) and Big 12 (+8%) feature more gradual pricing steps. The study notes that more than half of NFL teams price entry-level premium seating at or below their best non-premium seats, creating a stairstep model that college properties have yet to replicate.

Valparaiso announces that the home of Valpo Softball will be renamed Bill Steinbrecher Field to recognize the impact and legacy of AD Emeritus Dr. Bill Steinbrecher. The dedication ceremony will be held on March 27, 2027. (link)

Traditional cable bundle penetration dropped to 31% of U.S. households following a 10% decline in the second quarter to 40.1M households, according to MoffettNathanson estimates. The inclusion of virtual MVPD platforms like YouTube TV, Sling TV, Hulu, and Fubo raises total pay-TV penetration to 48% across 61.5M homes, though vMVPD subscriber growth slowed to just 68K in the quarter. The firm projects the overall pay-TV market will hit a floor of 53M total subscribers by 2030, split between 27M traditional and 26M vMVPD customers. According to Sportico’s Anthony Crupi, recent Nielsen data indicates ESPN's distribution has fallen to 53.6M homes from a peak of nearly 103M, with FS1 reaching 51.8M. MoffettNathanson analyst Craig Moffett: “We’re closer to the end of this story than the beginning. Networks are an unnecessary layer of the value chain and are unmistakably on their way out. Their brand names have some modest residual value but their original purpose—organizing content into a schedule—is entirely anachronistic today. As networks fade, the lines between streaming and linear are getting fuzzier.” (link)

Meta is entering the live sports streaming market with the launch of its $1,299.99 Meta VR Glasses, scheduled for release in Spring 2027.
