The latest round of realignment in DI “could undermine efforts under NCAA president Charlie Baker to fortify amateurism from legal challenges,” Sportico’s Michael McCann writes, adding: “The NCAA has long argued college sports are qualitatively different from pro sports because the players are students who aren’t paid for their play. This feature allegedly enhances fan interest and ensures athletes are focused on being college students. As college sports has morphed into a multibillion-dollar industry, and as some college coaches earn millions of dollars a year, those arguments are harder to make.” American College of Trial Lawyers fellow/former New Hampshire Supreme Court Chief Justice John Broderick tells McCann it’s “pretty disingenuous for the NCAA to be working overtime to increase revenues for itself and member conferences and schools off the incredible skills and hard work of college athletes while at the same time insisting they should not share in any of the spoils. My sense is that appellate courts would look at that record with a jaundiced eye—and should.” (link)

Welcoming women's wrestling to our roster of athletic programs shows our unwavering commitment to fostering an inclusive and empowering environment for female athletes.

With July marking the hottest month on Earth in recorded history, ESPN’s Dan Murphy and Dan Hajducky catch up with Korey Stringer Institute CEO Douglas Casa, an expert on heat illness among athletes, who says while professional and college leagues have made strides in combating heat illness, he remains concerned about younger athletes. "I don't think the policies will keep up with the dramatic changes that we're seeing. I just don't think they're going to keep pace with them because it takes so long to change health and safety policies, especially in high school sports... high school sports are [the] freaking Wild West." Casa also explains most heat issues occur in August when players have yet to acclimate at the start of training camps. The safest move, he suggests, might be rethinking the timing of full seasons for a sport like football. "I'm telling you, 15 or 20 years from now, football is going to be a spring sport. We're not gonna get people out on August 1, the hottest time of the year in America, the most humid time, in full gear with 300-pound linemen training in the worst conditions possible. ... If I started this all over again 100 years ago, I would've had football as a spring sport and baseball be the fall sport." (link)
