The higher education business model in the U.S. is disintegrating before our eyes. Between demographic cliffs, massive cuts to research budgets, brain drains of immigrant professors, and endowment taxes, sports are not a priority for any college president, and breakeven with athletics is not...

Sankey may go down as one of the stupidest business leaders in American history. He is working overtime to kill the golden goose that pays for the whole party.

The article in the first post covers this. I feel sometimes like you are so invested in the failure of the UConn athletic program that it is probably not worth sharing any remotely positive interpretations of a rapidly evolving landscape with you.

...that some of your classes had a section once a week run by the TA. Edit: How many office hours you spent most of Saturday and/or Sunday playing pickup in the Field House when you had a big paper due or exam on Monday or Tuesday? But kids these days don’t know the meaning of hard work? Right.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/43924031/sec-greg-sankey-big-ten-tony-petitti-agree-cfp-seeding-needs-change I was not the only one who saw a huge anti-trust issue here if not only are the Big 10 and SEC bringing lawyers, but they feel compelled to announce they are not acting...

The major conferences will lose an antitrust case because their existence as a cartel is an antitrust violation. Just like in Alston and House.

...any of the revenue benefit. Is it really that difficult to figure out why that option was not appealing to a lot of people at the state house? It is also completely reasonable for people to think that the Big East haters want a return to the AAC because many of those Big East haters are...

...and the other Northeastern schools had to run a gauntlet of Ivy and Little Ivy and other private school graduates in their respective state houses, and their constituents, that did not feel like the state needed to invest in their own public universities. That didn't really change until the...

...imbalance and a lot of blowouts. NIL briefly moved the game pieces around, giving a team like TCU a chance to make the CFP, but the House decision is moving the entire sport where there will be a huge disparity, not just between leagues, but within leagues. The sport got a big help from...

...that even his Presidents may decide they are not on board with this kind of power play. They could get in a legal mess that could dwarf the House settlement. Anti-competitive behavior and any kind of price fixing can have criminal penalties in addition to the civil ones. Operating under...

...several lawyers, argued with me about it. Who turned out to be right? Has the NCAA or P4/5 ever won a serious anti-trust case? This House case is a surrender before they even go to court. The SEC and Big 10's power play makes their anti-trust problem worse, not better. They have two...

...the sports put up with things like realignment where field hockey and volleyball teams travel halfway across the country for a game. With the House settlement coming, and potential additional litigation beyond it, football and basketball have become a lot less profitable. I think a lot of...

Really? I think I may have mentioned the House settlement once or twice on this board. https://the-boneyard.com/threads/the-house-case.200727/ https://the-boneyard.com/search/1897214/?q=House&c[users]=nelsonmuntz&o=relevance

Alston was decided 9-0 against the NCAA, and the NCAA/P4 is trying to settle for billions on House. There were two cases on the 80’s and 90’s about TV rights that the NCAA lost.

https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/as-college-athletics-prepares-for-revenue-sharing-fallout-leaders-wonder-is-a-breakaway-from-the-ncaa-next/ College football is about to get a lot more expensive, and a lot more complicated, for everyone. 22% of AD revenue, or $22 million, is a...

And say what? What new information do we have for the ACC that they don't already know? No one is going to do anything until the landscape changes, which it is about to. Just try not to cake our pants for a few months, and see how the House settlement plays out.

I did not see this. It deserves its own thread. This may create UConn's last but best shot. I do not expect all the P4 schools to sign up for this. There should be openings.

...cable boxes as its network got bigger. USC/UCLA and Texas/OK were recognizing that Alston was about to rock everyone's world. Now the House case is hitting. The ACC knows everything they need to know about us. I think the P4 is going to spend some time deciding whether it needs to break...

...the Big 12 pay FSU and Clemson with? Outback coupons? The networks did not want to expand the Big 12. ESPN and Fox have to be looking at the House Settlement and wondering if college sports, and particularly college football, are going to be a major sport for fans in 5-10 years. Why would...

All those numbers are pre-House settlement. Football is about to get a lot less profitable at every school. Unfortunately, most of those other schools we want to compete with have a lot more football revenue than we do.

Left behind to what? The highest level of college football has huge uncertainty in revenue (end of the cable bundle), costs (House settlement), and conference affiliation. There are dozens of ways this can play out, some of which would make it better for UConn to not join the Big 12 right now.

She doesn't understand the difference between revenue and profitability. The profitability picture of college football is about to get a lot more muddled with the House Settlement.

...or whatever fantasy number people want to throw out, but there is no evidence we are getting that. No one knows what the implications of the House settlement would be, making jumping at the first offer we get potentially a massive mistake. What happens if the elite academic schools bail...

Why do people insist on insulting those that disagree with them? People are not hesitant about this move purely because of nostalgia. UConn is in a good basketball league that pays reasonably well and has nearby teams that fans care about. The pro-BE contingent gets that the Big East is a big...

I like House of the Dragon better than most of the Game of Thrones run. The characters are complex and interesting, and the plot twists have created a feeling that all of them are headed towards inexorable disaster despite many of their best efforts to avoid it. It is well done.

...wasn't for the lawsuit in 2003, UConn would have 5 fewer men's national championships in basketball and have never made the Fiesta Bowl. The House decision was odd in that non-P4 schools paid any of the back penalties, much less a sizable chunk of them. Either that action will result in...

Is college sports more profitable, or does it just generate revenue? Every football program in the country is seeing its labor costs skyrocket.

That is completely different. The U.S. government has programs to help people pay rent and have housing. If the government does not do that, some people will not have housing. Someone has to own those housing units, so PE firms stepped up because they knew there was demand for the rental...

Almost every word out of the "witnesses" at the house has turned out to be a lie.

I think this House settlement is turning really bad for football. If only 30-35 schools are going to be able to play big time football, the remaining schools will cut back on scholarships. This will impact the number of kids that pursue scholarships in football. The cost of running a big time...

I think many people are confusing revenue and profitability. In the post-House world, maybe 20-30 football programs will be profitable, and that will take substantial reductions in overhead to pull off.

The decline of the linear cable model means every league is looking at a completely new revenue model within 5 years. Together with the House decision making football much more expensive, I don't know how anyone makes any decisions on football in this environment.

People continue to confuse revenue and profit. X and Y have very low overhead and manageable costs (even post-House), and are general profitable when done at a high level. Z has a huge overhead cost that just got a lot worse with the House Settlement. Many major conference programs were...

...would have gotten out of the way. The same investigator who is good friends with the other primary suspects did find the dead guy's DNA on the vehicle. The broken tail light occurred at the defendant's house the next morning per her security cameras. The prosecution lied about this...

The Alberts are terrifying. It will not be easy to get someone to flip on them.
