A Jackson State spokesman tells @SInow that the school has narrowed its list of head coaching candidates to three.

Deion Sanders, the spokesman says, is not one of them.

A hire is expected to be announced next week.

JSU OC TC Taylor remains a strong candidate, per source.
@SInow NEWS: Multiple Jackson State sources tell @SInow the school is finalizing a deal with Deion Sanders to make him their next head coach, despite the university refuting @KennRashad's report.

A hangup getting smoothed out: Sanders is under contract with Under Armour. JSU is Nike.

The power conferences this week sent to their members the initial cap number for Year 1 of athlete revenue sharing, per a memo obtained by @YahooSports.

For the 2025-26 sports year (starting July 1), schools are to operate under a *projected* cap of $20.5 million, the memo says
The $20.5 million - lower than what some expected - could increase when final 2024-25 reporting figures are released in the spring. The cap is 22% of P4 revenues in the previous year.

The cap has built-in escalators (4% in Year 2 and Year 3 + a re-calculation in Year 4).
Schools are permitted to distribute the $20.5 million to their athletes however they see fit, but many plan to use the House settlement back-damage formula for the distribution: 90%+ to football & men’s basketball.

A thread on the NCAA’s settlement in the House case.

The settlement - negotiated by plaintiffs seeking back-NIL pay and NCAA/power leagues - has 3 main parts:
1) $2.8B in back-pay to former athletes
2) $20B+ in rev-share to future athletes
3) New roster rules & enforcement arm
$2.8B in back-pay.
- spread over 10 years
- from NCAA + school distribution (NCAA Tournament money)
- distribution determined using a formula based on a player’s value
- $2.3B goes to P4 FB/MBB players (avg of $120K a player over 10 years)
- Back-payments begin as soon as May
$20B+ in rev-share over 10 years.
- schools must stay under an annual cap determined thru avg of P4 revenue data
- 1st-year cap likely $21-23M per school with escalators to as high as $33M by 2035
- schools are not *required* to share revenue
- rev-share to start July 1

Rob Sine, CEO of Blueprint Sports, which operates UNLV's collective, tells @YahooSports that the collective never agreed to a $100,000 deal with QB Matthew Sluka.

It made a payment of $3,000 to Sluka & were discussing a monthly payment of $3,000 before QB’s decision this week.
Matthew Sluka’s agent, Marcus Cromartie of Equity Sports, first introduced himself via email to UNLV collective officials in late August, Sine says.

Cromartie wrote to officials that he was seeking more NIL opportunities thru the collective for his client.
However, Sine said Cromartie is not a registered agent in the state of Nevada. Because of this, he advised Cromartie/Sluka to discuss the situation directly with the coaching staff until Cromartie registers in the state.

Sine says he has email exchanges with Cromartie.

NCAA president Charlie Baker is proposing the creation of an FBS subdivision that permits schools to directly compensate athletes thru a trust fund & NIL, sources tell @YahooSports.

It is perhaps the most revolutionary concept introduced in NCAA history.
bit.ly/4a68NIY
Charlie Baker outlined the groundbreaking proposal in a letter sent to DI members & obtained by @YahooSports.

Members of the new FBS subdivision are permitted to strike NIL deals with their own athletes, but the most impactful change is the trust fund. bit.ly/4a68NIY
For entry into the subdivision, schools are required to deposit annually at least $30,000 per athlete into a trust for half of their athletes. Schools must follow Title IX (50% go to women).

A 4-year athlete stands to earn at least $120,000 in a career.
