The GPAC Council of Presidents have voted that Jamestown will no longer be a member of the league after this academic year as the Jimmies explore a move to NCAA DII. UJ President Polly Peterson: “With the admittance of Waldorf University into the conference as early as the 24-25 athletic season, we have anticipated the potential of this outcome. Consequently, we have been discussing alternative opportunities as we prepare for a potential move to the NCAA.” (link); Jimmies AD Austin Heib: "Whether our NCAA Division II transition happens or not, next year was going to be a year in the NAIA for us. We're looking at some different options throughout the NAIA: conferences, independent. We're looking at all the options. […] We've been a good member of the GPAC and we kept them informed of our entire process. This is something that frankly just doesn't happen in college athletics. You can research the amount of times schools have been removed from conferences and the list is pretty short. More than anything, we're just disappointed. […] We have got some time. We have got some options that we're looking at and some different possibilities. It's on the top of my priority list, but it's by no means panic mode.” (link)

The GCAC continues its membership expansion with the addition of Voorhees and Stillman, expanding the membership to 13 in 2024-25. Commissioner Kiki Baker Barnes: "The landscape of athletics is changing, and we are working hard to stay ahead of the curve. […] This is an exciting week for the GCAC. Expanding our conference has been at the forefront of our organization's goals." Of note for the league: "The expansions in 2024-25 will give the GCAC at least 10 teams in women's volleyball, women's basketball, men's basketball and baseball, earning each sport two automatic berths to the NAIA Championships."

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)
