After yesterday’s meeting of SEC presidents and chancellors to discuss the dispute with LSU, league CEOs released the following statement: “The presidents and chancellors of the Southeastern Conference met Thursday by videoconference to discuss recent matters involving conference expectations and responsibilities. Those discussions will continue as the conference and its member universities work toward an appropriate resolution.” ESPN’s Pete Thamel reports that LSU President Wade Rousse joined the call, “but only briefly, per ESPN sources. He explained to the participants that in light of the pending federal litigation, of which he and LSU are named defendants, that he was advised by council not to participate.” (link, link)
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry took aim at the SEC for filing a lawsuit against LSU, telling Fox News…
➤ “Remember, the SEC sued us. And I’m going to tell you, it’s extremely dangerous for Greg Sankey and them to continue this. Why? Because the SEC is not a true organization in the legal sense. It’s not a corporation, and it’s not an LLC. It’s not a juridical person. It’s an affiliation of 16 universities, of which 15 of the 16 are public universities. That means they are government universities, and those government universities don’t get a First Amendment right. That’s important to understand (because) that’s what they allege in the suit as well.”
➤ Landry also remarked: “The other thing too is that, yes, under the bylaws, you can expel a member by a super-majority vote. They can do that. And maybe they could’ve done that, and maybe that seems easy in 1932 when they created the SEC. But in today’s world, that’s extremely complicated with media rights, with media contracts. And then with NIL looming over college sports, it also opens up each one of those universities [to antitrust lawsuits]. So you go kick Tennessee out of the SEC, all of a sudden that gives rise to those athletes – not football players only, volleyball, basketball, baseball – those athletes can then sue, not the SEC, each one of the members of the SEC, all of the other members, for damages. We don’t want to infect this thing with litigation that causes universities hundreds, if not billions of dollars worth of liabilities, gives rights to those athletes. That’s ridiculous.” (link)
The Protect College Sports Act scheduled for a Senate cloture vote concentrates federal protection on shielding governance authority to penalize athlete sports wagering rather than funding addiction prevention or treatment infrastructure, according to Sacred Cow BBQ publisher/Colorado State FAR Kyle Saunders. While the NCAA has petitioned state gaming commissions to ban player props and urged the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to suspend college prediction markets alongside the stalled SAFE Bet Act, the 171-page Protect College Sports Act remains the sole moving legislative vehicle for the issue. An NCAA spokesperson informed Semafor that the association is "really happy with where the legislation is at this point," but Saunders details how Congress prioritized armoring enforcement over offering student-athlete support: "The word 'addiction' appears nowhere in its 171 pages. Neither does 'prevention,' nor 'awareness,' nor, for that matter, 'gambling'; the bill says 'sports wagering,' once. Section 106 does require medical coverage for qualifying sports-related injuries and diseases. But the bill creates no explicit gambling-addiction treatment program. ... Congress saw the prediction-market frontier and used it for one purpose, widening the category of punishable athletes." (link)
Arctos Partners Co-Founders Ian Charles and David “Doc” O'Connor spoke with the Financial Times' Samuel Agini about the growing risks surrounding private equity involvement in collegiate athletics. While emphasizing that private capital helps fund facility upgrades and venue fan zones without altering franchise governance, Charles and O'Connor expressed concern that aggressive monetization in college sports could destabilize the ecosystem and force the discontinuation of non-revenue programs. Charles: “My biggest fear is collegiate athletics. I’m worried about the commercialization, instability and uncertainty. I don’t think it’s appropriate the way many private equity firms are trying to invest in college. I think it’s bringing more fragility to the collegiate landscape. And I worry about our industry’s reputation getting damaged in the collegiate ranks." (link)
Newly appointed UCLA AD Tim Harris sat down with the Bruin Report Online podcast to discuss his transition into a permanent role and his immediate financial priorities for the athletic department. Harris plans to operate the department like an entertainment company after spending decades leading business operations for the Los Angeles Lakers and says he aims to double the season ticket base, remove the capacity-reducing tarps at the Rose Bowl, and establish a sustainable NIL structure alongside Chancellor Julio Frenk. More D1.takeaways…
➤ "[Frenk] and I agreed this is permanent. This is years with an ‘s’ at the end that I plan on doing this. ... We want to eliminate that label of interim and pro bono 110%."
➤ "You have to look at it almost like UCLA athletics becomes an entertainment company whose product is college athletics. ... Think of it more like a professional organization because we are a professional organization. We are paying the players. This is real money. We cannot car wash and bake sale our way through this."
➤ Leveraging service to generate revenue: "Drive revenue with service. And those can't be separated. ... It is one zillion% a want that is based in emotion, but it is not a need. And you create that through service... We have to get back and make sure that we are serving." (link)
American Conference Commissioner Tim Pernetti touched on several topics during a Q&A with the Big Mountain podcast. Here are the key notes…
➤ The financial risk of eliminating conference championship games to accommodate an expanded College Football Playoff format: "Our game for something like the 13th year in a row is going to be on in prime time on ABC on December 5. ... We have an idea of how much revenue all those games collectively generate. So it’s not like if the media market will command a certain amount of money, it’s all incremental. It’s not. If the championship games go away, we have to deal with replacing that value and then how much value can be created on top of that."
➤ Latest on American RISE Ventures: “It’s not just about sponsorship. We’re creating intellectual property. We’re creating assets. … RISE has already doubled our revenue in just their first 11 months that we had prior to that. And they've got a significant amount of business on the books coming in. So, we feel like we’re off to a running start there in something that’s innovative that you’re not really seeing in a lot of other places.”
➤ Utilizing the new three-year secondary ticketing partnership with StubHub: "It's their first ever deal with a conference...and it's a three-year deal where they're creating an open distribution platform for all of our championship events, which gives us the ability to move inventory around in their ecosystem of over 100M people. And as part of that, it's not just about buying tickets. We’ll create experiences that can be purchased within that as well. So, I think it just gives us another platform to amplify what we're doing with a lot of our events.” (link)
Former Michigan Men’s Hockey Red Berenson denied allegations in a federal Title IX lawsuit filed by 16 former players alleging sexualized hazing within the program between 1984 and 2001, maintaining initiation activities were player-led and occurred without coaching staff involvement. Berenson also noted the program formally banned all freshman initiation traditions in 2012, adding: "We knew there was a certain element of initiation on our team, and it was usually orchestrated by the seniors. We didn’t promote it. We didn’t question it. We didn’t encourage it. ... Were there some mishaps? Were there some bad experiences? Possibly, but it wasn’t a matter of direction or encouragement from the coaching staff or from the administration.” (link)

The Big West has launched Big West International, an expansion of the conference's media distribution that gives fans outside the United States access to live and on-demand competition throughout the 2026-27 season. Big West schools now may “designate any event they produce for ESPN+ for international distribution, creating the potential for more than 1,200 events annually across the conference's broad-based sports program to be available to viewers around the world.” Commissioner Dan Butterly: “We have built one of the most extensive digital production operations in college athletics, growing from approximately 60 events in 2020-21 to more than 1,200 annually in each of the past four years. … For our international student-athletes, this provides something even more meaningful: greater access for the people who supported them long before they arrived on our campuses. Their families and friends can watch them compete, while fans and alumni around the world have a new way to follow their institutions and connect with The Big West.” (link)

Flush with NIL earnings, major college football players are increasingly entering the real estate market by purchasing homes in their university towns as long-term investments, primary residences, and rental properties. Arizona QB Noah Fifita, for instance, purchased a $950K home near campus, while Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss, who will reportedly earn more than $6M this year, bought a $1.9M townhouse in Oxford, and Miami (FL) QB Darian Mensah bought a $2.35M home. According to The Wall Street Journal’s Rachel Bachman and E.B. Solomont, other athletes, including Arizona kicker Michael Salgado-Medina ($370K) and offensive lineman Matthew Lado ($335K), rent rooms to teammates to cover mortgage payments. The Grove Collective Executive Director Walker Jones refuted perceptions that athletes manage their newfound wealth recklessly, emphasizing their focus on long-term value creation: "One of the questions I get asked a lot is, ‘I bet these guys are reckless with their money.’ To be honest with you, they’re really not. These student-athletes in a really short amount of time have learned how to budget and how to be careful with their money and to spend it in ways that are creating additional wealth and value for them."

Central Michigan raised $26.2M through its Maroon & Gold BOLD Campaign, surpassing the original goal of $25M. More than 3,000 donors made gifts during the campaign, including five gifts of more than $1M and 20 of more than $100K. (link)
LSU generated $2.3M in net concession sales on the main concourses of Tiger Stadium during its football season opener against Clemson, excluding premium suites and club seating, according to KTDY’s Chris Reed. The total reflects sales after taxes and credit card processing fees, led by 41,138 cans of 16 oz Michelob Ultra generating $450.8K in net revenue. "Tiger Water" served as the second most-purchased item with 33,549 units sold ($125.9K), followed by 16 oz Bud Light at $119K in net sales. Chick-fil-A led all food vendors with 9,745 chicken sandwiches purchased. (link)
NBC captured the week's largest college football audience as Wisconsin-Notre Dame averaged 8.1M viewers, leading a network slate that included Washington State-Washington (5.5M) and Western Michigan-Michigan (4.5M), according to Sports Media Watch's Jon Lewis. On ABC, Clemson-LSU drew 5.75M viewers, followed by Louisville-Ole Miss (4.69M), Baylor-Auburn (4.24M), and East Carolina-Alabama (3.78M). CBS pulled 4.83M viewers for Oregon-Boise State, outperforming Fox’s lineup of North Texas-Indiana (2.82M viewers), Fresno State-USC (1.32M), and Boston College-Cincinnati (1.10M). Cable broadcasts were led by ESPN, which registered 4.07M viewers for SMU-Florida State, 3.73M viewers for Colorado-Georgia Tech, 2.31M viewers for Texas State-Texas, and 1.98M viewers for Miami (FL)-Stanford. Additional cable broadcasts included Oregon State-Houston (1.69M viewers on ESPNews), Ball State-Ohio State (1.60M viewers on BTN), Ohio-Nebraska (1.12M viewers on FS1), and Toledo-Michigan State (873K viewers on FS1).

Lobbying for the Protect College Sports Act is in full swing ahead of an expected Senate vote process next week, per Ross Dellenger, who writing for On3, points to the multi-million dollar, “Saving College Sports” ad campaign featuring former Alabama HC/current ESPN College GameDay analyst Nick Saban and current Colorado HC Deion Sanders as the most visible effort. Here’s what you need to know…
➤ Lawmakers, White House representatives and industry stakeholders have been meeting weekly to discuss progress and publicly pushing the legislation as a pep rally is planned for Monday on Capitol Hill with college administrators and student-athletes.
➤ The question is will all of this stumping lead to the bill’s passage? If the Clarity Act fails, it’s likely the Senate takes up the PCSA, potentially as soon as Tuesday but probably more likely Wednesday or Thursday. The timeline could slow depending on how many amendments to the bill are made and if they garner enough support for debate and a vote. If the bill passes the Senate, the House must then adopt it, but it’s not scheduled to return to session until after November’s mid-term elections.
➤ Dellenger: “If the Senate does adopt the legislation, can President Trump, an ardent supporter of the bill’s passage, convince House leadership to remain in session to take up the act? Though it’s a long shot, there is a shot – if the Senate can pass the legislation by a wide majority (probably more than 70 votes).” (link)
More than 90 organizations spent $31.4M in total Q2 lobbying efforts on behalf of the Protect College Sports Act, per Open Secrets’ Joedy McCreary, who notes that Texas Tech Board of Regents Chair Cody Campbell’s Saving College Sports nonprofit has led the advocacy push with the Senate preparing for a vote between September 15-26. Out of $820K in total lobbying dollars since its formation, Campbell’s group spent $190K during Q2. Lobbying participation has ranged from some of the biggest brands at college sports’ highest level (Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame) to Group of Six programs to the National Association of Broadcasters and NCTA – the Internet and Television Association. Oregon Sports Law Program Director David Weber outlined the financial dynamics driving the bill: “Right now, I think the posture is, the NCAA is just trying to figure out how they can reassert some sort of control over this sport. And athletes are trying to keep their gains. ... The group that’s most disadvantaged by these new limitations would be the athletes who have been earning more money on the open market from their NIL … and by being able to have a little bit more freedom of choice to where they want to play.” (link)
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has issued its decisions in three NCAA eligibility rule cases: Braham, Martinson and Blythe, per Boise State Assoc. Professor Sam Ehrlich, who notes “Braham and Martinson were dismissed as moot. The injunction in Blythe was overturned for lack of evidence, similar to other circuits.” More…
➤ Ehrlich adds: “Critically for the NCAA moving forward, the Ninth Circuit in Blythe joined other circuits in affirmatively declaring eligibility rules commercial and thus subject to antitrust law. In doing so, they found that countervailing language from O'Bannon v. NCAA was dicta [referring to comments or observations made by a judge in a court opinion that are not strictly necessary to resolve the case]. The NCAA has relied ‘heavily’ on this O'Bannon language in other cases, so this is a big deal for them. All of the appellate court language holding NCAA eligibility rule functionally immune from any sort of antitrust scrutiny are now defunct. However, the Ninth Circuit did join its sister circuits in finding that Blythe did not present sufficient evidence of a relevant antitrust market and anticompetitive harm. Not a surprising outcome at all.”
➤ In the Braham and Martinson proceedings, “the Ninth Circuit found that because the players' seasons ended by the time the court could hear the case on appeal, there was nothing left for the NCAA to challenge. Notable in light of other cases, where hearing cases on appeal takes a while.”
➤ Ehrlich on what he terms an important footnote: “The Ninth Circuit did say that because the injunction has now expired, the NCAA is free to apply the Rule of Restitution to punish Memphis or San Diego State for rostering Braham and Martinson, respectively, if they so choose.” Full opinions.

Ohio State has long prioritized scheduling high-stakes nonconference football games such as this weekend’s trip to Texas, per The Columbus Dispatch’s Joey Kaufman, who notes the Buckeyes’ scheduling philosophy remains unchanged in an environment where schools across the country are currently weighing such efforts against the risks of missing out on the College Football Playoff. More…
➤ The current home-and-home with the Longhorns marks the first in a run of upcoming games against SEC powerhouses with the Buckeyes slated to face Alabama in 2027 and 2028, then Georgia in 2030 and 2031. AD Ross Bjork: “We want to lean into these games until somebody tells us that we shouldn't. … If there's data that shows that these games hurt you if you come out on the wrong end, that's where you look at it differently. But, right now, there shouldn't be data that says don't play Texas, don't play Alabama, don't play Georgia.”
➤ Even as OSU remains committed to marquee nonconference matchups, it has not scheduled a new home-and-home in over half a decade, with Bjork pointing to the uncertainty over the CFP format as the primary reason for the holding pattern. “Until the playoff expands and we see what that timing is, there’s no reason to do anything, and then I think we’ll have time.”
➤ More from Bjork on the financial impact: “The closer the games, the higher the TV ratings. The higher the TV ratings, it leads to revenue. What do we all need in this environment? We need more revenue. The revenue piece in nonconference and conference cannot be overlooked. … Maybe we’d look at it differently if it did hurt us. These games should matter and we’re going to keep playing them.” (link)
Minnesota AD Mark Coyle has informed the UMN Board of Regents that the athletics department is projecting a nearly $9M deficit for the second straight year. Per the Twin Cities Pioneer Press’ Andy Greder, the shortfalls result from the first and second year of House settlement payments. While the reserve fund will be tapped again, Coyle noted long-term solutions need to be found, adding the Gophers are in a better financial spot than some of their Big Ten peers because UMN requires balanced annual budgets. Financing options remain on the table with others having turned to private equity firms for cash injections or setting up separate LLC structures. Coyle adds: “We just have to look at all that type of stuff, but you are going to have to rely on campus (administration). We have a lot of smart people on campus. That’s a great thing about being here. We just need to work with them and come up with a better solution long-term for our program.” (link)
South Florida highlights the results from its initial return on investment and impact report, developed over the last several months to highlight how the department’s programs and events are contributing to the strength and vitality of the Tampa economy. The report found that for each dollar invested by the overall university into Bulls athletics, the department returned $2.52 in value back to campus. In totality, athletics returned $96M in benefit to the overall university: just over $19M in tuition paid by non-scholarship student-athletes, support groups and staff; over $150K paid by staff and student-athletes in parking permits; $6.3M from athletics facilities event rentals; and over $7M combined spent by athletics with campus supporting partners. South Florida also helped generate $49M in direct visitor spending; nearly $10M in hotel revenue; and $3.4M in sales tax generated from visitors. The report also outlined the Bulls’ fundraising success as total financial donor commitments through the USF Foundation and the Bulls Club rose by $5M in FY26 vs. FY25 – from $9.2M to $14.3M – while also setting records for Iron Bulls members, major gifts and total donors.

Memphis Football HC Charles Huff says spending just north of $20K to hire sleep physician and performance specialist Dr. Cheri Mah to optimize player performance and mitigate circadian disruption during cross-country travel was "critical" to UM’s recent road win at UNLV, per The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman. Mah, who has worked with pro teams in all four major sports leagues, as well as Olympic athletes, Formula 1 drivers and the military, outlined strategies for the team’s cross-country trip to Las Vegas. “Shift your bedtime and wake-up closer to Pacific time a few days before the flight. Shift football practice times closer to kickoff time. On the plane, avoid sleeping the entire flight. Up your hydration and keep the plane’s window shades up so your body stays alert.” Huff adds: “One of her slogans we’ve adopted is, ‘Sleep is not the end of today. It’s the beginning of tomorrow.’ … These sleep techniques are like offering up better speed training or strength and conditioning or nutrition. Everyone, especially in the Big Ten, is trying to manage [the longer distances]. It’s not just football; it’s all sports. You’re truly giving yourself a very specific advantage in how you manage your body." (link)
