New Keene State AD Marty Testo talks to the Keene Sentinel about taking the reins at his alma mater and what he must do as the fourth person to hold the position since 2018: “I need to provide stability. I need to provide accountability to this department because there’s been a lot of change in the last seven, eight, nine years of leadership in this department. [...] I’m here, and I’m not going anywhere unless they walk me off campus. This is the end for Marty Testo. That’s my plan.” (link)

Baldwin Wallace Dean of the College of Education and Health Sciences Steve Dittmore pens for Extra Points on the institutions and athletic departments that have shuttered in the last few years. Comparing a quartet of DIII institutions that closed, Dittmore observes: “While three of the four campuses were combatting steep losses in student headcount, the percentage of student-athletes on those campuses did not mirror these changes. All four institutions saw their percentage of student-athletes rise during this period and student-athlete headcount did not match enrollment change as the two tables below point out.” Three of four saw an increase in overall athletic spending, adding: “Anecdotally, these results suggest it is not athletes who are contributing to the downward trend of campus enrollment. And, therefore, it is not, perhaps, sports that can save a university on the brink of financial collapse.” More. (link)

RealResponse Founder/CEO David Chadwick sits down with Connect’s Steph Garcia Cichosz at the 2023 NACDA Convention to discuss the launch of Athlete Alert, powered by RealResponse, and the partnership with U.S. Integrity for professional and collegiate athletes, coaches, trainers, and support staff to safely and anonymously report gambling-related issues in real time. Chadwick outlines the education in the launch, what prompted the need, how it integrates into RealResponse’s offerings and much more. Chadwick on gambling issues: “It starts at the top. This is no longer just an athletics issue. Presidents and Chancellors have this on their radar…. Making this a focus, making it well-known so coaches are aware of it and student-athletes, too, because the reality is the ecosystem for many of these college athletic departments is not just the 400-600 student-athletes, it also includes coaches, trainers and staff. You’re talking about a group of more than 1,000 people, making sure they are aware of resources that are in place. Making sure they’re educated on what should be reported and what shouldn’t be reported, etc.” Full convo on Connect. (link)

Connect/MB Sports’ Matt Banker checks in with Youngstown State (DI) Deputy AD/Past NATA President Tory Lindley to discuss the rollout of the Inter-Association Standard of Care Toolkit. Lindley explains how the toolkit came to be, addresses the Transformation Committee’s recommendation to require schools to commit to a consensus-based care model and breaks down how the toolkit touches 16 healthcare domains, including peer-to-peer consultation opportunities and best-practice sharing. Lindley notes he was “really thrilled with the work that the Transformation Committee did as it pertains to a lot of areas but specific to student-athlete wellbeing and student-athlete healthcare. The synergies here were fantastic. It was really welcomed by all four of our member groups and member associations because what it did is it highlighted how important it is for the athletics healthcare administrator on every campus…to know that if the expectation is to attest annually that there has been a review and that the institution is meeting standards now that they have a place to turn where it's low to no cost…to be able to utilize the toolkit.” Full Q&A now available on Connect.
