OAC Commissioner Sarah Otey sits down with SimpleCoach’s Paul Oliu to dive into a number of topics including ways to fulfill her vision for the league, media rights, soccer scheduling and more. On the former, Otey says the league is starting to engage corporate partnerships to help grow the league and members’ brands, focus on ways “to create those flashbulb memories for our student-athletes,” and more. On the prospect of moving games behind a paywall, the OAC has had those conversations, stating: “I think those are conversations that the entire environment in Division III needs to be having – at what point does the return on something like that cross the threshold and make it worth going in that direction.” Otey adds that presidents and ADs are not going in that direction right now. Asked about the compressed schedule for soccer, Otey acknowledges the model is in place for soccer to extend the season a week, similar to how volleyball and softball have done, noting the option to reduce games is a possible choice, even though she does not express support for such a solution.

Having reached an initial philanthropic investment requirement of $10M raised, Alfred will build a $30M athletics and recreation facility on 200 acres of land about three miles south of campus. A trio of new stadia will service Baseball, Track & Field, Field Hockey, Football, Lacrosse, Soccer and Rugby. The school expects the project to boost new student enrollment by 170 within the first six years. Assoc. VP/AD Deb Steward: “We are already starting to build energy around the project. Many prospective student-athletes have these types of facilities at their high schools. This demonstrates to our recruits that athletics is an integral part of Alfred University. This facility will also compare with our opponents’ facilities, allowing us to be more competitive in the recruiting process while also providing our students with facilities that fill them with a sense of pride.” (link)

Anthony Travel Founder/On Location EVP for Collegiate John Anthony joins Connect/MB Sports' Matt Banker at the 2023 Women Leaders in Sports National Convention to discuss trends in the travel industry overall, how realignment has impacted the travel industry, international travel trends and more. On the impact of macroeconomic trends, Anthony: “Now that interest rates have gone up so much, you don't get much hotel development when that happens, you don't get much new bus equipment getting financed when that happens. There's a real concern with labor and shortage not just for your frontline workers in the hospitality industry, but when's the last time you got on a motor coach and your bus driver was under the age of 40 or 50? So there is a shortage in a lot of places within our entire ecosystem of this industry and it's a lot of pricing pressure. It tends to come down, just basic economics, with supply and demand and we're not seeing much of a reduction in demand yet so prices are a challenge.” Check out the full conversation on Connect.

A bill allowing high school student-athletes to benefit from their NIL in the state of Michigan passed the state’s House of Representatives on Thursday. It now heads to the Michigan Senate. Rep. Jimmie Wilson Jr. (D-Ypsilanti), who first approached the Michigan High School Athletics Association (MHSAA) with the idea behind HB 4816 in June, “A couple of the families actually had been considering moving potentially out of state because they're at such a high level athletics. They know that other states are already doing it. So they're now paused, because they said, 'Well, if you get this here in Michigan, we'll probably end up staying here’. As the Governor's office, and the Legislature, starts to talk about retention of talent, and talking about trying to get more people to Michigan. This is just a small piece, but it's another piece to that puzzle of retaining talent here.” (link)
