Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger reports Texas Tech (DI) Board of Regents Chair Cody Campbell has received commitments from House and Senate leaders to hold hearings on the Sports Broadcasting Act. Campbell has reportedly shifted his opinion on federal legislation, “supporting the passage of the SCORE Act, something that could happen as soon as the government returns from what is now a more than 30-day shutdown. When or if the SCORE Act reaches the Senate — where many believe it will die without major changes — Campbell hopes the legislation will be combined with the Democrat-backed SAFE Act, a bill authored by Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and one that opens the Sports Broadcasting Act.” (link)

Mammoth Sports Consulting Asst. VP of Consulting Tim Selgo sits down with College.town’s Anthony Grassi at the 2025 NACDA Convention to share his perspectives on the challenges facing small college leaders today. Selgo notes the biggest challenges are similar to when he began as AD at Grand Valley State (DII) nearly 30 years ago, but the challenge now is decreased enrollment along with budget cuts as athletic departments have added student-athletes and sports to support the enrollment of the institution. Selgo’s advice for those leaders on delegation: “It's never easy when you have limited staffing and 20-some sports. I work with clients now that have 25 or more sports. You can't be there for all of it. So you've got to relinquish some of that and let some other people get some of that responsibility. Even if it's just one or two others on your staff to help relieve your load a little bit because that piece about external revenue generation is getting bigger. And as an athletic director, that's time-consuming; that's relationships, man. So that pulls you in that direction and you need somebody to handle the day-to-day issues. […] Leadership is problem-solving and decision-making, Anthony. I mean, that's what it comes down to. I had a math background growing up, so maybe that's why I like to solve problems, but it's problem-solving and decision-making. I used to tell my staff, if we didn't have any problems, they wouldn't need us. So let's not complain about them. We got great jobs because we're here to help this institution solve these problems, so let's go solve them. Again, some of that is experience. You just have to give yourself and your staff the opportunity to get those experiences that you were fortunate enough to have yourself.” More on BOSCA. (link)

NCAA National Coordinator of Officials for Division III Men's Basketball Officials Jim Haney joins D3hoops.com’s Ryan Scott to discuss rule changes for the upcoming season. Points of emphasis for this season: reducing physicality in the post and on players with and without the ball, bench decorum and sportsmanship. Both MBB and Women’s Basketball will introduce replay if schools have a dedicated replay setup, although there are slight differences between the two. Haney on the introduction of replay broadly: “Hopefully, this will lead us to more conferences and more schools getting on replay, at a minimum of having an iPad or a laptop. That's what everybody gets confused with replay. They think, ‘Oh, we have to have three cameras. We got to have this look.’ No. Replay for us at our level is just having the opportunity and the availability for the official to go over and maybe be able to change an incorrect call. That's all it is. It's an iPad. It's a laptop. It's whatever it is. It doesn't need an extra person to run it.” More. (link)

I hope that I can serve as a reminder to not only our players and the coaching staff but also friends and family who support the women’s basketball team that you’re going to find obstacles in life, but you have to push through.” (link)

According to a JPMorgan Chase report, real income growth has slowed to near-decade lows with young people getting hit the hardest. Per Axios’ Madison Mills, with a wave of companies such as Amazon and UPS announcing layoffs, the slowdown is “yet one more sign of a softening labor market that could indicate trouble ahead for corporate America.” JPMorgan Chase Institute Research Director George Eckerd notes “companies might increase wages by less because they're trying to shrink staff” and if people don’t leave that’s when layoffs could begin. Mills continues: “Young workers are experiencing the worst income growth since the 2010s as the low-hire, low-fire labor market reduces their pace of job transitions. [...] It remains unclear whether young people will have the opportunity to catch up if and when the labor market reaccelerates.” (link)
