Question 1: There are 3 primary avenues in which facilities are financed: bonds, taxes, and corporate investment. Explain each and give examples of projects that are not in the book of each type.

Question 2: Answer 1 of the following questions:
+ After Duke men’s basketball standout Kyle Filipowski was injured in a court-storming incident last week, Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde was among those suggesting it’s time for “leagues to reconsider the loss of a home game for schools that cannot adequately keep fans off of the playing surface.” Do you believe teams who win a game on the court or field should be forced to forfeit a game in such instances? What other punitive measures might schools and conferences institute to dissuade fans from rushing the court? How might schools at least delay fans coming onto the court long enough for the opposing team to leave?
+ As Washington State and Oregon State consider how best to utilize their $255M war chest, JohnCanzano.com’s titular publisher acknowledges the schools could use the funds to ensure they can retain coaches but adds: “I’m not convinced those things are what matter most to the coaches in [football and men’s and women’s basketball] right now. I’ve talked with a few of them and the feedback I get is that they’re concerned about the public perception of being relegated to the Mountain West and WCC. It threatens the recruiting effort and retention of the current roster. … It will be essential for OSU and WSU to draw some clear and definitive distinctions between themselves and the MWC and WCC programs they compete against next season.” Do you agree that this is the best strategy for WSU and OSU? If so, how should the two schools implement it? If not, what other ways could they effectively allocate resources to put them in the best position moving forward?
+ According to multiple reports, including these from ESPN and Yahoo, College Football Playoff leaders are moving closer to adopting a 14-team CFP beginning in 2026. One proposal would award three automatic bids each to the Big Ten and SEC, two to the ACC and Big 12 and one to the highest-ranked Group of 5 team. Keeping in mind that the 12-team format hasn’t even been played yet, do you think 14 teams is where the CFP will settle, at least for a few years? If so, what would keep it from expanding further? If not, where do you believe the CFP will naturally level out? 16 teams? 24? In other words, game this out. What does the CFP look like in 2034 and what will be the most influential factors in determining it?
+ ESPN’s Pete Thamel and Heather Dinich this week cited one “high-ranking official” as saying: “Presidents and chancellors in both the SEC and Big Ten are having conversations about whether to continue their NCAA membership.” The official added that “those conversations are happening,” and some feel “pretty strongly about pulling away. I’d say very strongly.” What would be the short- and long-term ramifications of the SEC and Big Ten announcing they are leaving the NCAA? How would it affect Power 5 programs, Group of 5 programs and FCS programs differently? Could the NCAA survive? What would its role be?
+ With an upstart Football program, UTRGV has acquired H-E-B Park, which will be its new home, just three miles from campus. The Vaqueros will also play one game per year in Brownsville, more than 60 miles from its main campus. Why would a new program commit to playing that far away from campus every year? What logistical challenges or exposure opportunities does that present?
+ Colorado State has named John Weber, the Executive Director of CSU’s NIL collective, as its Interim AD. For some time, the trend has been for the most common track to becoming an AD to be fundraising, given the financial needs of many departments. Regardless of whether Weber earns the permanent position, will it be more common for heads of NIL collectives to transition to athletic department leadership? What are the potential downsides of such a move? What benefits does the head of a collective bring to the department?
+ The Athletic’s Christopher Kamrani explores why there aren’t more Football HCs below the FCS level who make their way to FBS, pointing to the lack of understanding by administrators who have largely cut their teeth in FBS and the misconception that coaches at non-FBS levels cannot handle the FBS level. If you were a Group of 5 AD, what attributes of a non-FBS head coach could lead you to hire them to lead your program? Given the changes around the industry, what are the downsides of bringing in a coach from outside of the FBS level? As lower-level HCs transition to assistant jobs in FBS, how beneficial is previous HC experience in evaluating a potential hire?
+ The NBA is looking into ways to expand its business portfolio, whether through new business ventures, acquisitions of companies or other opportunities that might help it expand. NBA Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum tells SBJ’s Tom Friend: “If you look at, for example, Amazon Prime, Amazon Prime started off as a bookseller. And now they’ve gone into you-name-it: into grocery, they’ve gone into, obviously, video. So many different things. … I don’t want to necessarily get into specific hypotheticals, but look at things like the Top Golf concept — and if there was a basketball equivalent, for example. Things in the youth space, in the grassroots space. You can start reimagining those sorts of business opportunities that are out there that might apply to the NBA and might apply to basketball.” Could the NCAA use this as a blueprint for its own ventures? What other verticals might it explore as it seeks to unlock new revenue streams? With restrictions loosened, could there be an NIL component?
+ The NEWMAC has become the second Division III conference to sign a streaming rights agreement, signing a five-year deal with FloSports. There has been pushback against DIII streaming behind a paywall due to the philosophical difference with the division, as student-athletes do not receive athletic scholarships. According to the conference, revenue from the deal will “enable the implementation of improved broadcast production standards and continued equity in production quality between corresponding men’s and women’s sports.” Is this a worthy trade-off, quality broadcasts for charging families and fans? If you were a DIII commissioner or president, would you support your league signing a streaming deal?
