News & Brews Sports Biz: Hot Topics 2026
Originally published on April 7, 2026
After a short break, we’re back! In this episode of News & Brews Sports Biz, Katie Davis and Ken Kurdziel unpack the top five hot topics shaping college athletics so far in 2026. Not surprisingly, they’re all interconnected, largely stemming from revenue share and the House settlement.
The conversation centers on sustainability and the range of responses taking shape across the industry—from the White House executive order to a recent white paper from university leaders—and the continued momentum behind the “NewCo” model. They also dig into rising compliance risks, particularly around NCAA financial reporting and the added complexity of international student-athlete taxation. And as always, they wrap things up with a round of brews. Cheers!
