���You identify these athletes, invest in them, and in many cases they leave.”

FCS, G6 and even P4 leagues are facing business problems. How do you solve them?

The answers might just be with Private Equity.

The NCAA Tournament - the industry’s crown jewel - faces an uncertain future.

With inevitable expansion on the horizon, a difficult conversation lingers: What happens when the event’s contract expires?

“There are pressures. P4 have shared that with us.”

@RobVaka @onuss_ The fix certainly needs to start at the top, but the infrastructure needs to be built around the D1 ecosystem first.

[Jason Belzer @JasonBelzer]

The mistake in the White House college sports roundtable is thinking the system can somehow return to what it was.

But it can’t.

College athletics didn’t break because NIL happened. It broke because media money, conference realignment, and the professionalization of football and basketball fundamentally changed the economics of the system.

What Charlie Baker said is the most honest line of the day:

“The money part has to be part of the conversation and it’s gotta involve the student-athletes.”

That’s the reality.

The old model worked when college sports were a campus activity. Today it’s a multi-billion dollar entertainment business. You can’t run a modern sports economy with 1980s governance structures.

The next phase of college athletics isn’t about “going back.” It’s about building the operating system for a new industry.

[Amanda Christovich @achristovichh]

Trump asks Charlie Baker if there’s a solution that is “as good as what we had before?”

Baker: “the big thing we all have to remember here is that the way it was before…sports and media played a completely different role in our society…and the money part has to be part of the conversation and it’s gotta involve the student athletes.”

I’d estimate at least 50% of players still looking for a spot went into the portal in the first place because an “agent/manager” convinced them they’d make more money elsewhere.

[Gerald J. Huggins II, M.A. @Coach_HugginsII]

Today is the last day Football players can enter their names into the Transfer Portal. Here are some numbers as of 12pm:

10,853 entered the portal
6,715 are still active
3,229 have signed
576 have withdrawn
333 have matriculated

College sports programs aren’t just about wins and losses — they’re billion-dollar brands powered by media rights, fan demand, and scale.

So how do you measure what they’re really worth?

@AD_University and @CNBC present 2025's most valuable college athletic programs:

[Matt Brown @MattBrownEP]

I have a hot take

I don't think you can prevent what we're seeing with Kiffin with better contracts or tweaks to the calendar.

I think we need a sense of professional honor, and failing that, *shame*, to actually set standards of acceptable behavior for coaches and admins

As the Big Ten considers $2.4B in private money, @JasonBelzer has a warning for the schools that plan to pump their share into their football programs:

"Somebody's still going to finish in last. And they just gave away 10% of their future earnings."
