@AnthonyGrassi23 They don't exercise the same degree of control that that D1, top tier programs exercise

The arguments supporting employment status for these athletes are exceptionally weak and easy to manage around.

@EdLawDude This is more for small college athletics (D2, D3, NAIA) where in the NAIA in FY24 “on average, student-athletes account for 39 percent of the total undergraduate population at NAIA institutions.”

Sen. Bill Cassidy, presiding over the Senate HELP Committee, pens an Op-Ed, calling for Congress to pass college sports legislation, pushing back on athlete employment and describing the industry as “a mess.” “The future of college sports is in peril.” outkick.com/analysis/lets-…

@MattBrownEP But who had the rights to that revenue previously? And given the hoops comment did that apply to more than football?

Getting control of your own merch/parking/food options is a legit big deal, and I can see how they might help Sac State's revgen in other areas (like jersey patches or MMR opportunities)
But we also gotta be practical about what kind of money we're talking about here

FWIW, according to the Extra Points Library, here's what MAC schools reported in Parking/Concessions revenue, across the entire athletic department, in FY25:

Sacramento State will pay upwards of $23M to jump to the FBS, with $18M to the MAC over six years and $5M to the NCAA, plus covering travel costs for visiting MAC members and more. So how will the Hornets pay for it? President @DrLukeWood says football just regained the rights to merchandise, food and beverage, parking and more revenue sources. Sac State will also look to guarantee games to cover the costs, as Woods guaranteed no student fees or university general fund will cover these expenditures. The move on the gridiron also will shift all other sports to the Big West. With men's basketball looking to continue to grow under Head Coach Mike Bibby and GM Shaquille O'Neal, the program brought in more revenue during its first four home games at the new Hornet Pavilion than in the last three seasons combined.

As highlighted in yesterday's D3.ticker, @HopeAthletics packed the stands better than anyone in #d3hoops, but which other programs drew big crowds, and did on-court success impact fans in the stands?

College sports programs aren't just about wins and losses—they're billion-dollar brands driving revenue through media rights, sponsorships, and community impact. But how do we measure their true value?

BREAKING: @KeystoneCollege to close, effective Friday, according to an unnamed reliable source. This comes after a loss of the school’s Middle States accreditation reported late last month. The @KeystoneFTBL team will not field a team in 2025 as a result, affecting the scheduling of the @LandmarkConf. With the entry of @WestConnFB, though, it may help alleviate some of the issues schools would have otherwise faced. More on this on @D3FBHuddle Friday morning. #d3fb

@davemchugh @FrankRossi @AddDropPodcast @d3football Up 8% to 222k viewers, compared to the DII championship on ESPNU at 1pm that averaged 191k viewers.

@FrankRossi @AddDropPodcast @d3football To add, viewership for this year’s game was up 8% from last season. And it’s better to be on Friday night by itself than be part of 11 other football games on Saturday and get the 11am kick off… but those who don’t know, don’t know.

Division 3 enjoyed a phenomenal championship game this weekend. However, there are still things that nag at me about the process. So, sit back and enjoy the Seinfeld tie-in of sorts.
