I've seen a shift in AD contracts over the last 6 months ... might need to do a full breakdown.
Garrett Klassy's well-deserved extension fits right into that bucket. It's heavily incentivized around RevGen ... philanthropic fundraising, external events and MMR.
It includes my favorite ... The Dunder Mifflin incentive: A bonus for keeping the department within its approved budget range.
Big caveat (as it should be), and something tells me Klassy wanted it this way: he ONLY gets paid bonuses if Fresno State is on budget.

Our work is featured this week in @ExtraPointsMB. With help from @DavidCovucci (who did dozens of public records requests) we looked at scanned ticket data from 55 public FBS schools.
353 games. Announced attendance: 15.4 million. Scanned: 11.0 million.
Average gap: 28.4%.

Not everybody in college sports can spend the money on medical staffers like Ohio State or Texas. But everybody in college sports needs to provide a high standard of care.
How do you do that? I talked to some folks.

What if, when rich people wanted to buy an election, they decided to spend money on stuff people actually like, instead of tons of commercials on TV?
Like, oh, I dunno, NIL bags to ol State U?
Turns out that would be legal?!?

where I think its okay to blame the athlete *at least a little bit* (although the suits deserve far more blame), and where I think this could be a story that engages low-interest lawmakers
