He may be on there not in his role in private equity but as a co-owner of a number of professional sports teams (e.g., 76ers, Devils I think) just like Jonathan Kraft is.

so-called private equity tried once, and that even turned into becoming the California Retirement System (or something like that), and was not successful. I haven't seen any discussion of it since UM and USC blocked the potential B1G fiasco. I think there's a lot to fix in college sports before private equity comes up again. Hopefully.

Being transparent about how much players received in NIL is step one.

Not saying you were advocating for or against it, but college sports is already a disaster. Nothing could be worse than adding private equity. PE is good for equity partners. That's it. Everyone else suffers as they strip out value and enrich themselves.

It should be a year suspension for the head coach and 100 percent loss of revenue. That would stop the issue. Schools may be willing to suffer 20 percent for the right player (Miami)

Good luck with that especially the Blue Bloods. The NCAA would just turn the other cheek like they did years ago.

100% I work in IT and one of clients was bought up by PE. They merged them two other small companies that do the same in year one. Year they closed 3 locations and made their IT department got costs by 75%. We had 4 people supporting them in variuos IT roles and are down to 1 helping.
PE sucks.

If conference commissioners, coaches, and boosters were angels, no governing body would be necessary.

Good about only having 1 time to transfer and then again if they are a grad student with eligibility left. It's crazy for these coaches to have to re-recruit the players over again and again. Agents won't like it but screw them, they'll still make there fair share of $$$ regardless.

To everyone thinking of posting in this thread:

 

[Ttk.gman2]

After reading the On3 article, I still don’t see this executive order changing much in college athletics. The biggest pieces of it, like bringing back strict transfer limits and using federal pressure on schools to enforce NCAA-style rules, are exactly the kinds of policies that have already run into major legal problems. On3 says the proposal would give athletes one “free” undergraduate transfer and one graduate transfer, while threatening federal grant and contract scrutiny for schools that do not comply. But that approach still looks vulnerable, especially since similar transfer restrictions have already been challenged in court and the NCAA previously agreed to stop enforcing parts of its transfer-eligibility rule after antitrust litigation.

 

[Ttk.gman2]

And that’s the biggest problem with all of this. College athletics does not need more headline-grabbing moves that sound strong but fall apart the second they face a legal challenge. Until there is an actual enforceable structure that can hold up in court, all this does is add more confusion, more uncertainty, and more instability for schools, coaches, and players.

It will also impact those players that coaches give the talk to, I imagine. Not just players but coaches may feel “stuck” and make both players and coaches think more deliberately before making a roster move.
