NCAA President Charlie Baker tells the Women Leaders National Convention audience in New Orleans the association is committed to growing participation & fandom in women's sports, and points to a couple of key initiatives: Building a nationwide database of fans and launching a local sponsorship program for individual championships. (link); Baker is scheduled to appear at a U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Name, Image, and Likeness, and the Future of College Sports,” on October 17, per USA Today’s Steve Berkowitz. The announcement notes this hearing “will examine different federal NIL legislative proposals and seek to establish what is truly in the best interests of students participating in college athletics." Berkowitz points out the committee, which is “thought to be committee of jurisdiction” on this topic, includes U.S. Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Cory Booker (D-NJ). (link)

Alfred State and Dean will move their Football programs from the ECFC to the Empire 8 and MASCAC, respectively, in 2025, at which point the E8 will have nine FB members and the MASCAC will have 12. From D3football: “Gallaudet is the last remaining program in the ECFC, and is exploring its options at this time, which could include competing as an independent.” (link)

The test for AT&T’s 5G football helmet this weekend was largely a success according to Gallaudet Football HC Chuck Goldstein. The one-time waiver for this technology was given the green light after approval from Hilbert and next steps for future use involve providing feedback to the NCAA on the positives and challenges. Goldstein: “This is the start for what could be in the future.” As for the impact of the coverage, Goldstein says he connected with a dozen potential recruits within the first hour after appearing on Good Morning America on Thursday. That visibility will continue as the national commercial the Bison filmed will air Saturday on ESPN College GameDay. (link)

Wisconsin-Superior AD Nick Bursik talks facilities and fundraising with the Eye of the Swarm Podcast and notes that Superior Choice Credit Union Stadium is set to break ground this spring. Beyond the stadium, which will be the home for multiple Yellowjackets sports, the three key elements of the P3 project include an expansion of Wessman Arena with two additional ice sheets for UWS and local community use, the redevelopment of Ole Haugsrud stadium for an indoor turf fieldhouse with the opportunity for retail, housing and local businesses to utilize that space and the development of Baseball and Softball facilities, which are critical to Bursik who is well aware of the needs given his background as a former UWS Baseball coach and student-athlete and the fact that Softball “has been kind of a nomad.” Bursik comments the timeline is not exactly now, as there are multiple phases to go before shovels hit dirt. Asked about the stability of the institution given the higher ed challenges nationally: “For us internally within athletics, we have good, stable enrollment and all of our rosters are at a healthy position. […] Institutionally, I think we're good where we are and we're able to offer a good student-athlete experience because of it. Amongst the UMAC and amongst our region, as you alluded to higher education right now is a tough sled ahead but I do think a lot of us are looking at how can we use athletics as a strength and how can our student-athletes help in the recruitment of additional students whether that's through opportunities through sports or or other opportunities really using athletics to leverage that from an enrollment perspective. So do we have potential challenges ahead? I'm sure we do both institutionally and then within the region and maybe even within our conference, but excited about where we are and the opportunities, like we alluded to the facilities that's only going to help us from a growth perspective to help open new opportunities for us as well.” More.

The NCAA has launched its first e-learning module dedicated to sports gambling, its harms and the risks it poses to the integrity of their games. The module also covers social media harassment and NCAA rules. NCAA President Charlie Baker: "One of the first things I did when I took over as NCAA president was gather as much information as possible about sports betting on college campuses. This educational resource is directly informed by that data. We believe this new program will help protect student-athletes from the risks that come with sports wagering. The data is clear that athletes with firsthand experiences connect with current student-athletes better than any other material we could develop, so we are incredibly grateful for their participation in this effort."

A sustained rise in long-term U.S. Treasury yields “could be bringing the Federal Reserve’s historic rate hiking cycle to an anticlimactic end,” writes the Wall Street Journal’s Nick Timiraos, who explains: “Top central bank officials have signaled in recent days that they could be done raising short-term interest rates if long-term rates remain near their recent highs and inflation continues to cool. … If the run-up in the 10-year Treasury yields to their highest levels since 2007 persists, those increases could substitute for additional rises in the fed-funds rate.” Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan: “If long-term interest rates remain elevated because of higher term premiums, there may be less need to raise the fed-funds rate.” (link)
