SUNY Morrisville unveils black turf at Drake Field. AD Matt Grawrock: “As we set out to replace our old turf, we wanted to move in a bold, new direction that would give our department and student-athletes a unique identity to rally around. […] Many people may ask why we've put a black field out there. We've asked, why not? We have created a true home-field experience and advantage for our student-athletes. We think they're one-of-a-kind and we wanted to give them a home venue to match. This field is top-notch, and not just because of the color. As we went through the planning process we wanted to make sure the field met the needs of four different sports, and from that we have a turf that is one of the best around to meet those needs. We are confident that each of the teams that compete on Drake, and those other teams that will use it for exercise and conditioning, will come away with a sense of pride in knowing this field is theirs; one that is different from every other field they've been on.  As we head into a new athletic year, the enthusiasm from this project has been infectious.” (link)

Connect/MB Sports’ Banker covers several sports gambling topics with NCAA Managing Director of Enforcement Development Mark Hicks and Director of Academic and Membership Affairs Jerry Vaughn, including the recently updated Student-Athlete Reinstatement Guidelines for cases involving sports wagering, the number of officials screened by the NCAA last year, relationships the NCAA is fostering to stay plugged into the latest developments and lots more. Vaughn says updates to the reinstatement guidelines were made based on an acknowledgement of the nuance surrounding the issue. “In the previous guidelines it was this category that if any wagering occurred through the Internet, basically there was one penalty for that, and the starting point was sit a season, charge a season. … We’ve just seen unprecedented proliferation of sports wagering activities since some of these state laws have been modernized, and [all or nearly all] of that activity occurs through the Internet, through a mobile app, and it’s not the type of activity that it used to be. Now we see things like FanDuel and DraftKings and the others, so the committee really tried to introduce some new guidelines to give us a little bit more tools with wrestling with some of these cases.” Lots more in the full interview, only on Connect.
