I'm very excited to share the news of the premiere of "Authentic ACC: Syracuse Spring Football" this week on the @accnetwork I have so much gratitude for having the opportunity to direct and produce(along with @ajbeehner ) this hour format doc about the continuing @CuseFootball story! Please tune in!

@danarestia How does that stack up rest of top ten?

Syracuse goal differential in four games in the dome is +33. Syracuse goal differential in six games on the road is +6.

@TheBillsGuys How’s the Big East football?

Wow … Syracuse is down bad. Get back to the Big East where you belong and then maybe people will care again 🤷🏻‍♂️

The definitive World Cup underdog story.⚽🇺🇸 @FOXSports’ new documentary feature SUMMER OF ’94 relives the rise of the iconic 1994 U.S. Men’s National Team on the road to the 1994 FIFA World Cup USA. 🎙️ The @USMNT legends tell their story Saturday at the World Premiere at #SXSW2026 and on FOX May 23: @AlexiLalas, @cobijones, Tony Meola, @johnharkes6, @marcelbalboa17, Eric Wynalda, Jeff Agoos, Thomas Dooley, Paul Caligiuri & head coach Bora Milutinović.

@WinterSportsLaw Wouldn’t publicly traded shares instead of private equity make more sense for state owned non-for profits?

Excellent piece on how private equity/capital is getting involved in college athletics. It shows how, despite fears to the contrary, private equity can be a good thing for schools that utilize it in the right way and for college athletics as a whole.

Nate Kingz grew up in foster care, struggling to find comfort. Though he starred on the court while training at the local Salvation Army and recreation centers, giving him purpose and an escape. “Basketball has been his outlet, his thing he can control." For @DOsports ⤵️

In the article do you compare it all other P4s, Private P4s, P4s with similar records over that time, similar Private and all P4s over the past 45 years? All similar with the move from either no local to regional local to national/streamer era broadcasts? It just feels like a rather small sample size with a team with 5 years of records that are not consistent with the past 50.

I've been tracking 🍊🏀 attendance all year and put the numbers together to see where it ranks historically since the JMA Dome opened. The answer? Not good. And remember, these are announced tickets sold figures. The butts-in-seats count is often much lower. Story ⬇️

@NILnotNLI I think one could argue the cost is a marketing cost and is factored in to actually draw the revenue of tuition and room and board.

The University of Kansas faces a $15 million deficit, recently cut staff, and faculty pay remains among the nation’s lowest. ​ Yet, KU still finds the cash for select athletes' revenue-sharing payouts by using money from the general fund paid by student tuition & state taxpayers!

@Dan_Furman Not required* can spend up to 20.5m. Big difference.

With the House settlement requiring schools to share $20.5M with athletes, jersey patches are the new "win-win" revenue stream. 🤝 😱 UNLV already secured a $11M deal over 5 years, proving that the "eye-sore" on the shoulder pad might be the only reason your season tickets don’t double in price. Estimated Patch Value (Per Year): Blue Bloods: $6M - $12M Mid-Tier Power Four: $2M - $5M G5 Programs: $500k - $1M Underdogs: $100k

@heitner I agree. But I would then propose it’s removed from the academic aspect of the university and they become employees of a marketing arm of the non-for-profit entity. They are free to negotiate tuition in the contract, along with room and board.

@JK74Cuse I believe that, if you're going to cap athletes' wages (which is what they really are), the cap needs to be negotiated. In a pro model, "eligibility" is negotiated as well.

Louisville argues that college athletics needs a hard spending cap, pointing to the NFL's salary cap as the model. But that comparison undermines the argument. The NFL cap works because it is collectively bargained. The college cap is not. It is imposed. If challenged, it would likely be found to be an unreasonable restraint under antitrust law. Louisville insists the cap "is not a cap on student-athlete earnings." Sure, Jan. The vast majority of college football and basketball players now earn money directly and indirectly through their schools. A cap on institutional spending is a cap on athlete earnings. This is just another weak plea to Congress.

@CurryHicksSage Job hasn't even been defined yet. No one has said what the AD should be and needs to do...just lists and lists of names...

Source: Syracuse is expected to name a new AD before the start of the ACC tournament. The school has identified a small number of finalists (source says 3 but I can’t confirm that just yet)

The rich get richer in college sports….

@MikeWatersSYR *Power 4

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why there's no reason to expand the NCAA tournament. We won't get more worthy mid-majors; just more Power 5 teams that went 9-9 or 7-10 in their conference.

I liked the world better when the news came on for 30 minutes and then we did other shit for 23 1/2 hours. Now it follows you around all day like a hobo begging for change.

@ckstevenson @Sportico @PremierLacrosse @USALMag @USA_Lacrosse should be able to do that. Perhaps the @PLL could chip in some of the club tournament money they collect?

@Sportico @PremierLacrosse Lacrosse would be drastically cheaper at the rec level if we can solve the helmet/equipment challenge. The lifespan of helmets, and they must be safe, is a challenge for almost all rec programs.

"Participation trends for Lacrosse are more akin to hockey and golf. They're expensive." Paul Rabil explains lacrosse participation trends, from 15 million fans to 48 million and how it compares to other sports.

Ugh. So all non-wealthy Baltimore suburban kids should just go play sports funded by municipalities while marketing lacrosse leagues profit on the privately funded club structure. Understood Paul. 1980’s Henniger HS won NYS Championship. 1991 Nottingham HS state runner NYS Class B. Decades of West Genny dominance. Even suburban FM in Upstate NY has youth lacrosse where you can borrow helmets. This is justification for the shrinking player pool and interest based on sports specialization and the monetizing of youth sports promoted by the PLL. But Instagram engagement is up!

@WinterSportsLaw Wouldn’t the alternative be professional sports?

A very important point about the current college athletics model.👇

@CuseSportsTalk_ @WesDurham This does not seem like a forward thinking take. Its not about lists of people, its about what the job is now and what it will be.

"Familiarity, for me, at a place like Syracuse, would be really really important." Wes Durham (@WesDurham) of ACC Network & ESPN weighs in on the in-family vs. outside the family debate for the next basketball head coach at Syracuse.
