A Whole New World feat. Mike Oblinger

The House Settlement represents a massive shift in college athletics

Happy Fourth of July! We’re proud to serve up a good conversation for your enjoyment on the beach, by the pool, or pregaming a trip down to Jimmy’s.

UNCW Director of Athletics Mike Oblinger stops by for his annual summer check-in just as college sports enters a new era thanks to the House Settlement and the seismic changes resulting from revenue sharing.

Among the topics we covered:

  • Mike reflects on his second full academic year in Wilmington, with the Seahawks again hanging multiple banners while experiencing plenty of success beyond competition.

  • The Seahawk Club and fundraising is reaching new heights

  • Another offseason, another shift in NIL

  • Numerous facilities projects, both big and small

  • More progress for the women's basketball program

  • The men's basketball scheduling philosophy

  • Channeling the MBB momentum for athletics as a whole

  • The changing landscape of the CAA and the league's health as a whole
