New ASC Commissioner Flores camps with Dave Campell’s Texas Football’s Hogue on the state of the conference. Flores emphasizes regionality, asking and answering: “Should we be a conference where we’re sending our students eight to 10 hours away for a road game? I don’t think so.” Also says that “solidifying our membership has to be a central part of our message” as they sort through expansion vs alliance with another conference, in order to avoid losing the league’s FB AQ. And in response to the suggestion that his background leads some to believe he was brought in to move the league toward scholarship competition: “The answer is no. [...] We’re a Division III conference and a historically strong one, and we intend to continue to move in that direction.” More. (link)

U.S. Surgeon General Murthy joined last week’s NCAA Mental Health Advisory Group meeting, where he stressed the importance of student-athlete mental health and highlighted the significance of treatment, prevention and stigma reduction. Murthy told the group that the “youth mental health crisis in America is the defining health issue of our time. If we're going to get through this, it's going to require the engagement and leadership of young people across the country. The stigma is starting to change now because young people are pushing others to think about mental health differently. Talking openly about mental health makes a big difference." Murthy also explained that providing early care is vital. “One thing we've dramatically underused as a country is the power of peer support. It can provide immense support to people before they're in full-blown crisis. It's critical when we think about how we can get people help when symptoms are still mild. … It's critical we recognize the powerful impact of isolation and loneliness on young people and examine the role and contribution of technology. We found that heavy social media use can make us feel worse about our self-esteem and friendships and can negatively impact sleep.” (link)

The NCAA NIL Working Group has been tasked with exploring backup plans in the event Congress does not pass an NIL bill, according to On3’s Prisbell, who reports the DI Council received updates from the subcommittee during its recent meetings. Prisbell’s source notes the NCAA will continue pursuing a federal NIL bill and adds: “A larger stakeholders meeting is expected to occur at the end of July in Indianapolis to solicit additional feedback on a potential draft of an NIL-specific proposal. That could be in the form of a draft of a federal bill to present to Congress or new overall NIL-specific guidelines. Specific elements that will be included in a potential NIL proposal remain unclear.” Last week’s meetings did not include discussions about potential revenue-sharing or employee models. Also from Prisbell’s source regarding more permissive NIL laws in Texas and other states: “The NCAA is a voluntary organization. If [schools in] Texas want to go way outside the guidelines and say, ‘We don’t have to follow NCAA rules,’ the NCAA can say, ‘We don’t have to invite you to NCAA championships either.'” (link)

The National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) has launched an inter-association collegiate standard of care toolkit to ensure the health and safety of college and university athletes. Youngstown State (DI) Deputy AD for Performance Excellence/former NATA President Lindley: “As we went into the project, the goal was to try to identify every consensus statement, every position paper, every bit of information that's out there so that the athletic trainer can sleep easier at night knowing that they can look to find the resources. We had no idea what we would end up with; but with over 1,000 resources in our resource library that are connected directly to each one of the over 500 standards, we feel great about what we've created.” (link)

More Higher Ed:

+ A report from Moody’s Investors Service finds that college closures, while remaining rare, “will continue to accelerate gradually” as the higher education sector navigates financial challenges. The report states that “most troubled colleges will continue to operate as long as possible” and notes that predicting college closures is difficult due to potential outside funding from donors and states. Small, private colleges are the most vulnerable, and while Moody’s indicates more public institutions will merge or consolidate, it does not offer a prediction on how many will shutter. (link)
