USC AD Cohen exploring 'every possible' model for athlete revenue sharing
USC AD Jennifer Cohen said that she “needed more clarity before discussing any specifics about how USC would handle the revenue-sharing cap" but assured that “every possible model is being explored," according to Ryan Kartje of the L.A. TIMES. Cohen cannot "say much right now" about the school’s plans for sharing revenue with its athletes as the final details of the House settlement and revised NCAA rules structure are still being negotiated. Kartje notes USC “certainly hasn’t hesitated to pour money into athletics in recent years,” beginning with its “splashy hire” of football coach Lincoln Riley. New athletics facilities “continue to sprout across campus," including a $38M stadium for women’s soccer and lacrosse that is expected to open next fall. A three-level football performance center and “gleaming practice field" will be ready in 2026, followed by a "repositioned" baseball complex to replace Dedeaux Field. When asked if she expected those future expenses to "put a strain on USC’s athletics operation,” Cohen said that the department has “work to do” but is “well positioned to manage the landscape change.” Kartje adds of course, a new conference and the “promise of a massive media rights payout” -- worth between $50M and $70M more per year than the Pac-12 distributed in its final season -- should “help ease that transition.” Cohen mentioned that USC will “put every option on the table before we draw any lines” (L.A. TIMES, 7/22).
