The other was already on his way in.<\/p>\n<p>For nearly a year, Bubba Cunningham and Steve Newmark have operated in tandem \u2014 dividing responsibilities, sharing decisions and functioning as co-architects of North Carolina\u2019s athletic future. July 1 is the official handoff. In practicality, it\u2019s already happened.<\/p>\n<p>The academic year is over. Spring sports are winding down \u2014 as much as they can be at a broad-based program like UNC. Cunningham has checked off his last Rammy Awards show \u2014 complete with the usual speeches, forehead selfies and send-offs \u2014 and his final academic luncheon, where Newmark presented him with a parting gift: an RFK Racing suit, a nod to his own past in NASCAR.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe, Newmark joked, it would inspire a new hobby for Cunningham in retirement.<\/p>\n<p>Newmark has already taken on an increasingly prominent voice \u2014 speaking for the department in press releases, guiding internal discussions, settling into the chair he\u2019ll officially claim this summer. <!--want more examples? -->He served on an advisory board that led to Bill Belichick\u2019s hiring in December 2024. This spring, when North Carolina made a consequential late push in its men\u2019s basketball coaching search \u2014 an Easter Sunday flight to Colorado to meet with Michael Malone \u2014 it was Newmark who got on the plane. Cunningham did not.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly 15 years ago, when Cunningham arrived in Chapel Hill from Tulsa, he admitted he wasn\u2019t \u201csmart enough to have enough adjectives\u201d to describe the emotions of the moment \u2014 of being hired as the athletic director for one of the preeminent college athletic programs in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, at what was his final ACC spring meetings, the tone was markedly different.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t really have strong feelings about it,\u201d he told the N&amp;O with a shrug.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s been a great league,\u201d Cunningham added. \u201cI\u2019ve enjoyed being a part of it. I\u2019ve enjoyed being an athletic director. I started my career in higher education\u2026 taking a different role on a college campus is something I\u2019ve done before. I\u2019m excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019ll miss the relationships, he said \u2014 the familiar faces across the conference rooms, the rhythm of a league he helped shape. But his world is about to get smaller in one sense, and broader in another: fewer day-to-day interactions in the ACC, more time spent on UNC\u2019s campus and, potentially, on national issues alongside university leadership.<\/p>\n<p>But for now, he\u2019s still got about five weeks left on the clock. At ACC spring meetings, some of Cunningham\u2019s colleagues were already in celebratory retirement mode. A Yankees representative in attendance \u2014 presumably tied to the Pinstripe Bowl \u2014 sidled up to Cunningham one night at the Ritz-Carlton bar, threw an arm around him, and nudged the 64-year-old to order a round of a Smoked Old Fashioneds \u201cfor old times\u2019 sake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cunningham chuckled and said he\u2019d think about it. Truthfully, he\u2019d rather not make a big show about his departure. He said half-jokingly (or perhaps in earnest) that he\u2019d prefer to just fade into the distance.<\/p>\n<p>In many ways, athletic directors cut from Cunningham\u2019s cloth are becoming a hallmark of the past.<\/p>\n<p>While <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsobserver.com\/sports\/college\/acc\/duke\/article315710703.html\" rel=\"Follow\" target=\"_blank\">Duke\u2019s groundbreaking Amazon dea<\/a>l<\/u> sparked some discussion among the ADs gathered in Amelia Island last week, Newmark was already exploring similar options for UNC. He spoke about maximizing the value of North Carolina\u2019s program. He spoke about generating enough revenue to support the rising costs in college sports\u2019 ever-inflating arms raise.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/college-basketball\/news\/diamond-cup-kentucky-unc-kansas-michigan-uconn-college-basketball-in-season-tournament\/\" rel=\"Follow\" target=\"_blank\"><u>CBS Sports<\/u><\/a> reported that a new blue blood-laden college basketball event is in the works with interest from North Carolina, as well as Arizona, Connecticut, Gonzaga, Kansas, Kentucky, Indiana and Michigan. The multi-team \u201cDiamond Cup\u201d would offer schools primetime TV slots in the regular season and, crucially, equity in the event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCutting expenses, cutting sports \u2014 that\u2019s not a recipe for long-term success,\u201d Newmark told the N&amp;O at Amelia Island. \u201cHaving a broad-based program is part of our DNA, so that means we\u2019ll need to figure out how to raise more revenue in order to sustain and support our sports, and give the coaches the resources they need to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we will continue to lean into both traditional and non-traditional ways to generate revenue,\u201d Newmark continued. \u201cSome of that may not be consistent with how UNC operated 20 years <!--I could prob expand here: (that means jersey patches, more on-campus events like savannah bananas) -->ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Cunningham took over the Tar Heel helm in 2011, the UNC athletics budget was $70 million. In the 2024-25 academic year, North Carolina spent a record $188 million on athletics \u2014 including nearly $14 million for upfront revenue-sharing payments to athletes. UNC\u2019s athletic department expenses have risen more than $67 million in the last four years for which data is publicly available. That doesn\u2019t include the full scope of North Carolina\u2019s heavy investment into its football program under Bill Belichick, or the cost of the men\u2019s basketball coaching change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I\u2019ve seen over the last 10 years is more tension on the economics,\u201d Cunningham said. \u201cAs a university and an athletic department, we could always generate enough money to cover all the sports that participated \u2014 even though the revenue has accelerated and the cost of participation has accelerated faster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd now, with rev share, we\u2019re saying that football and basketball generate enough money to sustain themselves, but we have 26 other sports that don\u2019t have enough revenue coming in as a net profit,\u201d Cunningham said. \u201cSo, how are we going to support those other sports in the university?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The problem requires an entrepreneurial mindset. Athletic directors have long been described as CEOs of college sports departments, but now schools are increasingly turning to business executives outside traditional athletics pipelines to run them.<\/p>\n<p>UNC isn\u2019t the only example. Stanford hired former Nike CEO John Donahoe as its AD in 2025. Former NBC Sports chairman Pete Bevacqua has overseen Notre Dame athletics since 2024, after briefly serving as special assistant to former AD Jack Swarbrick in a similar succession plan to UNC\u2019s. Kentucky\u2019s next AD will also serve as the CEO of Champions Blue, LLC \u2014 the non-profit, public entity that serves as UK Athletics\u2019 post-House settlement holding company.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/durhammovinghub.com\/?p=1066\">NC Democrats divided over resolution that accuses Israel of genocide<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Miami athletic director Dan Radakovich \u2014 whose previous AD stops include Clemson and Georgia Tech \u2014 sees this moment less as a break from tradition than more as another turn in a familiar cycle.<\/p>\n<p>First came the former coaches who transitioned into AD roles. Then administrators who rose through facilities and operations became the next hiring craze. Then a stretch where marketing backgrounds were prized as programs chased more aggressive fundraising tactics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow they\u2019re looking for the people who are outside of intercollegiate athletics to come in,\u201d Radakovich said at ACC spring meetings, \u201cand I think that\u2019s good. But this is on a college campus, and college campuses are about relationships \u2014 whether you\u2019re the dean of the school of business or college of education, or you\u2019re the director of athletics. You need to have those kind of relationships with your coaches, with your student athletes, while still having the opportunity to go out and gain revenue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>College athletics departments, Radakovich noted, now sit on underutilized infrastructure that has become central to the business model. Football stadiums that once sat dormant for most of the year are now viewed as year-round venues, with schools experimenting more aggressively with concerts, special events, touring entertainment acts and mixed-use stadium districts to unlock new revenue streams.<\/p>\n<p>And with that shift, the job of running a department has expanded well beyond making sure stadium pipes don\u2019t \u201cburst in the winter,\u201d and into media strategy and event production in ways that would have been uncommon a decade ago.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, Cunningham has met with Smash Capital and plenty of other folks in the private equity space to get an understanding of how PE may apply in a university or athletic department setting. He said he\u2019s also spent more and more time in meetings with representatives from ESPN and other television organizations, who have their own opinions on how more aggregation of media rights may impact revenue generation projections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m always trying to learn more, and that\u2019s been very helpful in trying to think about where are today based on all the people in the industry that we\u2019ve come in contact with,\u201d Cunningham said. \u201cWhere do I think we\u2019re headed next? And I think that\u2019ll help me work with the Chancellor and say, \u2018Here\u2019s some things that we should think about as we move <!--(maybe one more line here about how UNC is moving forward with Newmark at the helm, not Bubba, to tie this section up) -->forward.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jim Phillips briefly lost his train of thought as he began listing the names. At the ACC spring meetings, he was asked at his annual address to reflect on the athletic directors across the conference who are retiring this year: Cunningham, Radakovich, Virginia Tech\u2019s Whit Babcock and Syracuse\u2019s John Wildhack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve worked with 39 different athletic directors in five years and 38 different presidents,\u201d Phillips said. \u201cWe also have four presidents that are changing over. Remind me what your question was\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Phillips laughed as he trailed off. Then he continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to re-educate individuals, and you\u2019ve got to bring them along,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to build consensus and collaboration and all of those things, and it\u2019s easier when there\u2019s historical knowledge and perspective and understanding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those old institutional fundamentals are exactly what Newmark said he has spent the past year absorbing firsthand alongside Cunningham.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s one of, if not the, most respected athletic director in the country,\u201d Newmark said. \u201cHe has been in the business for quite some time, and he\u2019s one of the more generous and selfless people that I\u2019ve ever met, so I really did enjoy working hand in hand with him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there was probably some skepticism in certain circles that it may be difficult to have two of us overlapping for that long of a period of time, but, to me, it was actually a critical component of why I made the decision to switch from professional sports to collegiate sports,\u201d Newmark continued. \u201cBecause I think Bubba was a unique character, and I really was able to learn quite a bit from him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though he plans to step back from daily operations, Cunningham will remain a resource for Newmark \u2014 a sounding board for decisions that extend beyond the scoreboard. From facility planning to conference dynamics to the long-term shape of the department, his influence will persist even as his title changes.<\/p>\n<p>Under a contract extension that runs through July 2029, Cunningham will move into a senior advisor role reporting to Chancellor Lee Roberts \u2014 a position designed to leverage his institutional reach beyond day-to-day athletics. The job will pull him into some of the university\u2019s largest long-term projects, including Carolina North, major facilities planning along Stadium Drive and at the Alumni Center, potential football stadium upgrades and a new athlete wellness center.<\/p>\n<p>The job is new and created specifically for Cunningham. The role he previously held is no longer the same one. Not here. Not anywhere. To Phillips, the transition is a sign of the times. But neither he, nor Cunningham, are wringing their hands over it.<\/p>\n<p>Newmark, after all, will bring new ideas and a new energy. And plenty of lessons from his time with Cunningham. Maybe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not sure I\u2019ve given him any advice,\u201d Cunningham said.<\/p>\n<p>He paused.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cActually,\u201d Cunningham conceded. \u201cProbably the only advice would be to enjoy it. This is a great job at a great institution with great people, so enjoy every part of it. There\u2019s certainly going to be frustrations, aggravations and challenges. But by and large, you can\u2019t be in a better profession. I don\u2019t think.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cunningham followed his own advice at Amelia Island last week. With some convincing, he ordered the Smoked Old Fashioned. One on each of his last nights there.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/durhammovinghub.com\/?p=1064\">Julie Andrews, 90, Makes Rare Appearance at Event Combating Parkinson&#8217;s<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNC athletic directors Bubba Cunningham and Steve Newmark talk about dividing duties, lessons learned and the July 1 handoff after ACC spring meetings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1069,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-read-todays-edition"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
