College Sports are broken, and those who first made the mess and profit handsomely from the status quo do not want to fix it. Without meaningful change, opportunities for thousands and thousands of talented student athletes will disappear and women’s and Olympics sports programs will be canceled. A disjointed and disorganized revenue generation system is the root cause, and everybody in college sports knows it - including many members of the Big 10 and SEC, who have recently reported staggering and unsustainable athletic deficits and debts. Ironically, at least one of these two commissioners, who argue that the status quo is “just fine”, have simultaneously pursued onerous private equity and debt deals to paper over the overwhelming deficits many of their member institutions face. The situation is even more dire in the lower-revenue conferences, as is well known.
Our primary objective is to provide athletic programs, both big and small, the tools they need to achieve financial sustainability and preserve all of their programs, scholarships, and roster spots. We want to grow the financial pie, and make it work for everybody - doing so in a way that doesn’t not punish or take revenue away from the “big boys”. Not only is this the right thing to do, it is also consistent with the President’s “Saving College Sports” Executive Order, that was issued last summer.
The posture of these two commissioners indicates that they do not care about the fate of the other conferences or smaller schools, nor do they care about the life-changing opportunity provided to women and to athletes in our Olympic sports. It seems they have chosen to disregard the directives of the President and the will of the American people.
Change is difficult, I get that, especially when it means dismantling a long-held, broken, backwards system. My sincere hope is that, instead of throwing up roadblocks to our congressional momentum, we can work together on solutions that put the student athletes first and preserves the viability of the great American institution of college sports.

The fight over the future of college athletics is reaching its most prominent battlefield yet: the White House.
U.S. President Donald Trump is convening next Friday a presidential roundtable of more than three-dozen dignitaries and sports celebrities to further explore solutions for the industry’s ills. The invitee list is a who's who — key political figures, prominent college sports stakeholders, television executives, former national title-winning football coaches, a sitting state governor, the NBA commissioner and, even, pro golfers such as Tiger Woods.
Those with knowledge of the meeting spoke to Yahoo Sports under condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to discuss the matter. Many of those involved only recently received invitations to join, and it is unclear if all of those invited — as many as 40 — will attend.
Some are skeptical that the meeting will transpire as scheduled. White House meetings are always subject to delay or cancellation due to unexpected events warranting the president’s attention.
Amid the years-long congressional discourse over college sports legislation, the group — dubbed the Saving College Sports Roundtable — is expected to hold discussions over solutions to a once-amateur industry rapidly evolving into a more professionalized outfit.
The invitees include many of those within the industry itself, such as the four power conference commissioners (Big Ten, Big 12, SEC and ACC); American Conference commissioner Tim Pernetti; current athletic directors from Wake Forest, Iowa State and Indiana; former Oklahoma AD Joe Castiglione; Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua and ex-Notre Dame AD Jack Swarbrick; former coaches Mack Brown, Nick Saban and Urban Meyer; Texas Tech board member Cody Campbell; Heisman winners Tim Tebow and Charlie Ward; university presidents/chancellors Doug Girod (Kansas), Jeff Gold (Nebraska) and Donde Plowman (Tennessee); and former Clemson and West Virginia president Jim Clements.
There are plenty more from outside of college athletics — business titans, athlete celebrities and pro sports executives. They include NBA commissioner Adam Silver; millionaire businessmen like David Blitzer, Marc Ganis and Gerry Cardinale; pro golfers like Woods and Bryson DeChambeau; and former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice. Media executives from Fox and ESPN are also expected to have received an invitation.
Trump is serving as chair of the roundtable, with vice chairs Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, and Randy Levine, the president of the New York Yankees.
It will be a fascinating scene. ...

I agree with Campbell in that what’s best for the SEC/Big10’s bottom line is not necessarily the best thing for the health of college football, unless you are an accelerationist who just wants a super league with the top programs.

Texas tech was the worst offender last year. The players are ultimately responsible for pursuing the nil world, using the courts to change the game. Universities have responded the only way they know how to…. Raise revenue and look out for themselves.

Everyone thinks these big dogs can hold the fort down themselves, but the reality is they rarely can unless you are talking $10bil plus net worth. Cody Campbell knows it and he was trying to foot the bill early to jump ahead but the reality is he can’t keep up with massive school fundraising and revenue sharing that’s $50+ mil, long term. He knows it so he is trying to get ahead and stop it
