Sioux Falls selects Dakota Wesleyan (NAIA) AD Jon Hart for the same role with the Cougars, starting January 1. USF President Brett Bradfield: “As the University of Sioux Falls embarked upon its search for our new athletic director, and due in no small part to the significance of this important role in shaping the lives of our student-athletes and providing positive ambassadorship for the greater University; we sought an individual that demonstrated commitment to sensibly grounded leadership and the ability to build productive and healthy relationships. Beyond those baseline qualities, Jon demonstrated his steadfast commitment to creating positive experiences for student-athletes in alignment with the institution's core mission, as well as an incredibly strong work ethic necessary for this role. Jon's commitment to his faith and Christian higher education, including his belief about the integration of this faith component into the athletic experience, aligns with the mission-centric purposes of the University. We feel very fortunate to have found Jon Hart who checked all of those boxes for USF.” (link)

The NSIC will visit Jamestown (NAIA) at the end of the month, after the Jimmies applied to join the league in August. AD Austin Heib on their ouster from their current conference: “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.” (link)

NCAA Managing Director of Enterprise Risk Management Clint Hangebrauck says of the association’s recently announced e-learning model on sports gambling: “A lot of education in this space that we see just focuses on the 'what' of NCAA rules -- here's what you can do, here's what you can't do, don't bet on it. We've really tried to focus on the ‘why’ behind the rules as the primary component.” NCAA Managing Director of Enforcement Development Mark Hicks adds: “Obviously, there's big buzz with some of the more public-facing issues that we've had this past year. But if you go back in time, there have been other sports wagering issues in the past. So while it's been a very interesting year, I don't know how much different (it is). ... Luckily, we don't have those things all the time. That's good. But certainly concerning. It’s a priority of our leadership, and I think what we'll continue to do is evaluate what's needed.” (link)
