We could legitimately hit $200M in coaching buyouts this hiring cycle, roughly "one Florida athletic department" worth of dead money. I'm starting to think this isn't going to stop, even with schools needing to pay their players. Money isn't real.

🚨 Attention future D-I athletes! This only applies to compensation specifically for name, image, and likeness (#NIL) usage. Getting paid for other things? We can argue why this does not and cannot apply.
🚨 Attention future D-I athletes! The CSC has new resources to help high school and junior college prospective student-athletes and prospective transfer student-athletes stay compliant with NIL rules. Protect your eligibility—get the info you need below ⬇️

Moss, who wrote his senior thesis on NCAA amateurism rules, will be the sole active college athlete representing the House injunctive relief class.

The NCAA’s landmark “House” settlement lets colleges pay athletes directly for their name, image & likeness starting July 2025, creating a $2.8B fund for past players and sparking clashes with state NIL laws as Congress eyes national regulation. [NCSL, June 2025]

Interesting article from @JSONline on how the @UWBadgers are embracing the #NIL era... including dedicated #NIL infrastructure, negotiating 3rd-party NIL deals in the face of competition from larger spenders

In August, the @NatUrbanLeague released a statement calling the #HouseVsNCAA settlement "Unjust & Discriminatory", saying it perpetuates systemic inequities by disproportionately benefiting male athletes in high-revenue sports (ex: football and men’s bball), while marginalizing

Per Dentons, the new #HousevsNCAA settlement is widening the talent gap in college sports as P5 schools can afford to share significantly more of their athletic revenue w/ athletes. Remember, the settlement caps rev sharing @ 22.5%, but P5 programs have much larger revenue than

REFERRAL DEALZZZ! Several #HouseVsNCAA claim buyers are offering athletes commissions to refer their teammates and friends... The referrals can be a good way to make some cash, but IMO each referrer should FULLY DISCLOSE their commission to the seller!

ARTICLE ON #HOUSEVSNCAA APPEALS For those who asked, here's the @McCannSportsLaw article I mentioned in my prior tweet:

The House settlement, which has reshaped college sports, is accused of violating Title IX in a Ninth Circuit appeal, but there are rebuttals.

This does a good job of explaining why many P4 basketball teams have smaller rev share budgets than some Big East teams and other teams in non-football conferences. It also explains how they have to use third party NIL dollars to fill the gap.
Roster costs exploded entering the 2025-26 season prior to the House settlement implementation. In order to compete, legal third-party NIL is necessary. We must build out opportunities for student-athletes as the coaching staff works to build the 2026-27 roster. The cap that

The CSC just issued new guidance on NIL deals, and it will be interesting to see whether these disclosure rules end up in court: athletes must report all deals over $600 within 5 days or lose eligibility. The NCAA has had some notable success shielding other eligibility rules

I never want to hear a single complaint from anyone at these schools about athlete compensation. Not now, not ever.
College football buyouts have hit nearly $185M this season. • Brian Kelly (LSU), $53M • James Franklin (Penn State), $49.7M • Billy Napier (Florida), $21.2M • Hugh Freeze (Auburn), $15.4M • Mike Gundy (OSU), $15M • Sam Pittman (Arkansas), $9.8M • DeShaun Foster (UCLA)

Another school is moving the commercial/revenue producing operations of its athletic department to a new private entity. I expect many other schools to do this. It’ll presumably be the entity that contracts with athletes for rev share $. Can also employ athletes.
News: Michigan State’s board approved today the initiation of “Spartan Ventures,” following the lead of Clemson and others to form an independent company outside the athletic department with a focus on maximizing revenue.

All schools now:
The NCAA has adopted emergency legislation specifying DI athletes can lose eligibility if NIL deals aren’t reported. If a school discovers an athlete may not have reported a deal it has 2 days to review & report to the CSC. If a deal isn’t then reported, athlete is ineligible.
