Coastal Carolina all in on keeping baseball program a national power in new era of college sports

Coach Kevin Schnall said the athletic administration’s support “at the highest level” is a big reason the Chanticleers are back in Omaha. “What I mean by that is they enabled us to hire an elite coaching staff that would rival any coaching staff in the entire country,” Schnall said. “They give us the resources to […]

Coach Kevin Schnall said the athletic administration’s support “at the highest level” is a big reason the Chanticleers are back in Omaha.

“What I mean by that is they enabled us to hire an elite coaching staff that would rival any coaching staff in the entire country,” Schnall said. “They give us the resources to put our players in the best position to become the best players that they can be. And it’s an absolute team effort.”

Miller said the budget has been restructured to allocate more money for scholarships without asking for additional institutional support. He said a significant portion of the revenue sharing for 2025-26 comes from donors, including a “transformational gift” from one who wished to remain anonymous. A fundraising dinner in Omaha last week brought in $1 million, he said.

Coastal Carolina’s baseball players are earning about $200,000 combined in third-party NIL deals this year; retired coach Gary Gilmore noted, “LSU has that much in just one guy.”

Miller said NIL numbers for the next year will be inflated at a lot of power four schools. That’s because many NIL deals were paid up front rather than having payments spread out. Athletes and their agents wanted to avoid having to get those valued at $600-plus vetted by the NIL clearinghouse, as required after June 6 when the House settlement was approved.

“We talked to one of the collectives from a power four school I know very well, and right now they’re spending $2.5 million on the (baseball) team and next year they’re going to spend $3 million because they frontloaded a lot of NIL money from their collective,” Miller said. “The year after that, they’re going to drop down to $500,000. So that’s a drastic drop.”

Miller’s charge, like his predecessor’s, is to keep Coastal Carolina in the top tier of college baseball.

“The mentality of our program — all the way back to Coach Gilmore’s early days in the late 90s — was geared to reach Omaha,” said Matt Hogue, who retired as athletic director last year to become director of Coastal Carolina’s Center for Sports Broadcasting. “The way we financially invested, how we scheduled, infrastructure. We always viewed the CWS as the expectation, not a novelty.”

LSU coach Jay Johnson said if there’s one non-power conference baseball program able to keep competing for trips to Omaha in the new era of college athletics, it’s Coastal Carolina.

“Gonzaga basketball, Boise State football. The ones sustainable for decades, that’s who they are,” he said. “This is no surprise to me we’re playing them. As long as coach Schnall’s there, they’re not going anywhere for a long time.”

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Though many athletic programs outside the power four conferences are expected to drop off competitively when scholarship limits are removed and revenue sharing begins July 1, College World Series finalist Coastal Carolina is committed to continue playing with the big boys in baseball.

Rosters will be capped at 34 in Division I baseball going forward, and first-year athletic director Chance Miller told The Associated Press all 34 at Coastal Carolina would receive full scholarships and be in line for direct rev-share payments. Miller said he also believes the Chanticleers’ opportunities for name, image and likeness earnings will compare favorably with those for power conference baseball teams within two years.

Baseball is Coastal Carolina’s flagship sport. The Chanticleers have played in 21 NCAA Tournaments since 1991, won the 2016 CWS for their first national championship in any sport, and they’ll take a 26-game win streak into the best-of-three finals against LSU starting Saturday night.

Coach Kevin Schnall said the athletic administration’s support “at the highest level” is a big reason the Chanticleers are back in Omaha.

“What I mean by that is they enabled us to hire an elite coaching staff that would rival any coaching staff in the entire country,” Schnall said. “They give us the resources to put our players in the best position to become the best players that they can be. And it’s an absolute team effort.”

Kevin Durant Invests In PSG, Will Consult on ‘Potential’ Basketball Expansion Plans

Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant has made an investment in Paris Saint-Germain soccer club with an eye toward the possible creation of a PSG basketball team.

According to Adam Crafton and Joe Vardon of The Athletic, KD is expected to serve as a consultant regarding PSG’s potential expansion into basketball as part of his investment.

If PSG does start a basketball team, it is reportedly expected to be part of NBA Europe, which is a concept for a European league being developed by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.

Durant released the following statement regarding his stake in PSG, which is primarily owned by Qatar Sports Investments:

“It is an honor to partner with QSI and be a shareholder in Paris Saint-Germain—a club and a city that is so close to my heart. This club has big plans ahead and I can’t wait to be a part of the next phase of growth; and to explore new investment opportunities with QSI.”

Per Crafton and Vardon, Durant already held a “single-digit million shareholding” in PSG previously through his investment firm Boardroom.

Durant now has a “direct minority stake” in PSG instead along with business partner Rich Kleiman, and his new investment is “roughly the same as previously.”

PSG has dominated the French soccer scene in recent years, winning each of the past four Ligue 1 titles, seven of the past eight and 11 of the past 13.

Although PSG lost superstar forward Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid following the 2023-24 season, the Parisians somehow became even more successful, winning their first UEFA Champions League title this year in a 5-0 rout of Inter Milan, and securing the continental treble.

In Europe, it is commonplace for major soccer and basketball teams to be under the same ownership with the same name, such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.

That isn’t yet the case for PSG, as the Paris-based team in the EuroLeague is known only as Paris Basketball.

Crafton and Vardon noted that The Athletic reported in March on Silver’s plans to pitch the NBA Board of Governors an NBA-owned and operated professional league based in Europe, including new teams and potentially teams defecting from the EuroLeague.

Since then, EuroLeague CEO Paulius Motiejunas has publicly suggested that he would rather work with the NBA than oppose it, saying, “It is becoming more obvious that we have to work together.”

If PSG does create a basketball team, it is unclear what that would mean for Paris Basketball, as it isn’t yet apparent whether the EuroLeague would continue to exist along with NBA Europe.

Durant’s name carries a great deal of weight in the basketball world, as he is a 15-time All-Star, four-time scoring champion, two-time NBA champion, two-time NBA Finals MVP and one-time NBA MVP, plus the league’s eighth-leading scorer of all time.

With Durant taking on a more substantial and visible role within PSG, it could potentially go a long way toward bridging the gap between soccer and basketball for the club.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Miami Hurricanes slugger Daniel Cuvet has been named a First-Team All-American by Baseball America, the publication announced Friday.

Cuvet is the first Hurricane to earn Baseball America First-Team All-America honors since pitcher Andrew Walters, who received the accolade in back-to-back seasons in 2022 and 2023.

Cuvet put together one of the most dominant offensive years in college baseball, hitting .372 with 18 home runs and 84 RBI. His 84 RBI rank fifth-most in a single season in Miami history, while his 42 career homers are tied for seventh all-time at Miami

The Miami third baseman stayed red-hot down the stretch, batting .472 over the final 15 games of the season with 25 hits, seven doubles, six home runs, and 20 RBI. During that span, he posted a fantastic .943 slugging percentage and a .576 on-base percentage.

In the postseason, Cuvet continued to shine, earning Hattiesburg Regional MVP honors after hitting .385 with two doubles, a home run, and five RBI in Miami’s 3-1 outing. His efforts helped the Hurricanes punch their ticket to the NCAA Louisville Super Regional for the first time since 2016.

Cuvet ranked second on the team with 26 multi-hit games and led the Hurricanes with 22 multi-RBI outings, including 10 games with at least three RBI and two games with five or more.

This marks Cuvet’s fourth postseason All-America honor, as he was also named to the First Team by ABCA/Rawlings and earned Second-Team recognition from both Perfect Game and the NCBWA.

The NCAA vs. House settlement was finally resolved with a $2.8 billion order for backpay in a major shift.

As such, it has sparked quite a debate about the world of NIL and the transfer portal. This year, more than ever, players entered the portal and aimed for a larger NIL payday at other programs, especially for some of the game’s top stars.

Moreover, we saw players transfer for the third, fourth or even fifth time in a stunning turn of events that shows how saturated the portal is in the current landscape.

Arkansas Razorbacks men’s basketball head coach John Calipari spoke about this matter during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show. He addressed the issue of players transferring multiple times during their career, creating an unstable environment in the sport.

“They should be able to go once, maybe twice, without penalty because the coach lied,” Calipari said. “Told them you’re shooting every ball, I’m gonna play you this way, and he didn’t tell them the truth. Then, they should be able to leave. But four times, that means the first sign of trouble, I’m out… If you’re a parent, wouldn’t you tell your son you’re fighting this out? No, you’re staying, you’re going to do it.”

To Calipari’s point, transferring three or four times makes it hard for a number of reasons. First, there is no consistency in the staff or the program, and on top of that, it makes it very difficult academically to line up credits and work towards graduating.

Calipari also discussed the case of Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia. The Commodores star could not enter the portal as he awaited a decision from the NCAA, and it turned out he was tampered with, and some big NIL packages were thrown his way.

“But if we get that in order, I think the NIL stuff would be fine because right now, you’ve got the quarterback from Vanderbilt … that’s tampering,” Calipari said. “Put your name in the portal, $4.5 million. We have to get away from that more than the NIL.”

Calipari led Arkansas to an appearance in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament last season. The Razorbacks finished 22-14 (8-10 SEC), making their fourth consecutive appearance in the Sweet 16.

The Razorbacks were ranked No. 11 in On3’s Way-Too-Early top 25, making them one of the favorites in the SEC. DJ Wagner and Karter Knox return next season, while the Razorbacks added former Florida State star Malique Ewin through the portal.
