Regent (NCCAA) has announced its official pursuit of NCAA DIII membership, beginning with an exploratory application this January ahead of the 2024-25 academic year. AD Michael Allen: “This advance would support our university’s strategic growth initiative by aligning with our continual pursuit of excellence, innovation, and integrity in the athletic arena. We are excited to begin this process as we look to further strengthen our mission of developing Christian Leaders to Change the World.” If approved for NCAA membership, this move may include new facilities and the addition of more sports, like baseball, softball, and men’s volleyball, in addition to the current portfolio of Men’s and Women’s Basketball, Cross Country, Track & Field, Men’s and Women’s Soccer and Women’s Volleyball.

U.S. Representatives David Kustoff (R-TN), Burgess Owens (R-UT) and Josh Harder (D-CA) have reintroduced the NCAA Accountability Act, which would establish due process protections for individuals and universities under investigation for rule infractions. Specifically, the bill would require the NCAA to give fair notice of enforcement proceedings, establish a two-year statute of limitation for infractions, require investigations be completed within one year and prohibit information from confidential sources from being used in NCAA enforcement decisions. Additionally, the bill would give universities the right to settle disputes through arbitration, requires the NCAA to be fair in its enforcement proceedings, and directs the association to give the Department of Justice an annual report on its enforcement proceedings. A release from Kustoff’s office asserts that “through its monopoly power and lack of oversight, the NCAA investigates and punishes its members with little regard for fairness, due process, or transparency.” Kustoff adds: “It’s time Congress holds them accountable.” (link)

MIT AD Anthony Grant, Pomona-Pitzer AD Miriam Merrill and WashU AD Anthony Azama join AthleticDirectorU’s Tai M. Brown at the 2023 NACDA Convention to dive into the value of leading athletics and campus recreation, supporting holistic student development, fundraising for recreation and more. Grant: “The academic rigor on our respective campuses is extremely high and the service that we provide through campus recreation and that holistic investment in the student is essential in terms of balancing out that rigor. […] We’re talking about a value add in terms of what we’re doing. Campus recreation focus is not a passing, ancillary thing. It doesn’t get in the way. This is an enhancement. We are here to impact lives and we’re hearing on a daily basis from current students, from previous alums, that what we’re doing is essential to their livelihoods. All of us produce alums that change the world in some various form and we have that opportunity to be able to help them get there and deal with adversity and deal with challenges in ways that they’re not going to be able to learn in their respective classrooms from a traditional academic setting.” Azama on fundraising: “We want to make sure it’s not an either or because people aren’t necessarily at our campuses just focused on one thing. … Is [recreation] a driving force? Probably not, but it could be a halo if you hear the right experience to be able to say, ‘Hey there’s a connection,’ that’s where you can have an impact and make a real investment that’s going to impact these young people’s experience and make it better than what you have experienced.” Check out the full interview on ADU.

Sewanee is breaking with its long-standing no alcohol policy at sporting events by selling beer at its September 16th home football game against Millsaps according to The Sewanee Purple’s Jack Larish. AD John Shackelford: “It’s something we’ve long considered … one of the things we would like to see is more student involvement in all of our contests.” Fans aren’t allowed to bring their own alcohol to games per the new policy, however they will be permitted to bring beer purchased from the “beer garden” to designated spaces. Shackelford added that if the “trial run” goes well, it could be brought to other events. (link)

Former Bucknell (DI) President Brian Mitchell in an op-ed for Forbes asserts that “American higher education faces an existential crisis. Boards, administrators and faculty must wake up to the new realities that they face. For trustees, it may be too late to use an incremental band-aid. If the wounds are too deep, boards have a fiduciary obligation to plot a new strategy in an era of rising deficits to modify what the college offers, locate new revenue, seek new partnerships and affiliations, and merge or close. The goal must not be to postpone planning until the institution’s value is reduced to a real estate sale.” Mitchell suggests several steps that governing boards and campus CEOs can take, including adopting an activist approach that is strategic rather than tactical; familiarizing themselves with potential threats; exploring partnerships; and thoughtfully navigating closures and mergers. “From my perspective, solutions that overwhelmingly rely on outdated funding mechanisms like tuition no longer work. Large endowments might allow some leadership to kick the can down the road, but there is an endpoint to this approach for all but a handful of the wealthiest places.” More from Mitchell. (link)
