The upcoming House settlement will require colleges to pay athletes up to $20.5 million, with $2.8 billion distributed across various schools. At Big East programs like Villanova, a staggering 75% of this money is allocated to men’s basketball. Kevin Willard, the new head coach at Villanova, highlighted the unique financial situation of the Big East, stating that unlike football-centric conferences, the Big East won’t face cap space issues. Willard joined Villanova after three seasons without a tournament berth, aiming to reignite excitement and engagement within the program. His previous tenure at Maryland saw him publicly advocate for more funding and fundamental changes to elevate the basketball program to a top tier level. Despite the controversy surrounding his departure from Maryland, Willard remains focused on leveraging Villanova’s resources to achieve success.

Mar 26 What Ross writes been discussed for a year+ by ADs + commissioners. Big East stands to benefit as a result of the House settlement. Its programs will be well-equipped vs. other high-majors playing second-fiddle in football-first leagues.
Ain’t no fun when the rabbit got the gun.

Mar 22 NEW: The House settlement could upend the power dynamics in college hoops, as basketball-only schools won’t have to split rev-share money w football teams.

Apr 2 Celtic FC’s £31.5M settlements for historical abuse at Celtic Boys Club (legally separate) pale next to Penn State’s $160M+ costs for Sandusky’s crimes. Morally, Celtic should face scrutiny and reforms like Penn State’s child protection policies, but legal limits may spare them
