This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.comMatt Brown, publisher of the Extra Points college sports business newsletter, joins Alex to discuss a handful of big business stories that are all coming to a head around the same time. In this show: * The status of the not-quite-finished House settlement * Do we believe in the NCAA’s attempt to make sure that future “NIL” deals are really about the use of a player’s name, image, or likeness? * How power conference schools might divide up the $20 million per year that they will share directly with their athletes * Why Group of 5 and FCS payments will not be what they seem * Is the settlement going to provide a big leg up for basketball schools? * Nebraska’s AD will have the most interesting job in college sports * How might tariffs and a bad stock market affect athletic departments? * What about federal attacks on higher education? * Sacramento State is trying to move to FBS. It’s questionable. Also, here’s a cool offer for Split Zone Duo subscribers: 25 percent off a monthly or annual subscription to Extra Points by clicking this link.
