Following the mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, Bates is operating under a shelter-in-place order. In a message to the campus community, President Garry Jenkins: “I am hugely appreciative of the grace and patience that you all have displayed in the face of this tragedy and the ongoing search for the suspect. Thank you for continuing to adhere to the state’s lockdown orders and for adapting as necessary. Safety remains the priority for everyone in our community, and you are all contributors to that effort.” (link); The NESCAC issues a series of schedule changes affecting Football, as well as championships for Field Hockey, Women’s Soccer and Women’s Volleyball.

Sportico’s Daniel Libit talks with NCAA SVP of External Affairs Tim Buckley about his task to, as Libit puts it, “redirect the conversation about the NCAA’s much-maligned enforcement duties while emphasizing stories about the athletes it is supposed to serve.” Buckley says his previous role as NCAA President Charlie Baker’s gubernatorial chief of staff has prepared him for the college sports industry. “Any time you have a transition in leadership, it is an opportunity to do a reset on all kinds of things. I thought it was important as much as possible to reset the relationship with members of media.” Libit notes that one of Buckley’s first moves was to “relegate almost all enforcement news from the NCAA’s primary Twitter/X account (@NCAA), with its nearly 2M followers, to the organization’s @NCAA_PR account, which has only around 66,000 followers.” Buckley: “We are not going to hide NCAA infractions from the media. You have to meet it head on and do as much explaining beforehand, so people have a good basis of facts before we are talking about why a certain decision is made. That being said, there was also just an opportunity to better integrate the communications office with what the association does best.” Lots more from Libit on the NCAA’s PR strategy. (link)

Birmingham-Southern’s lawsuit against Alabama State Treasurer Young Boozer for his decision to deny a $30M loan has been dismissed.

A federal NIL bill is being held up by a debate over the NCAA’s definition of amateurism, according to Front Office Sports’ Amanda Christovich, who is told by an aide for one Democratic senator: “If this was just about NIL, you would have a bill.” Several GOP senators, including Ted Cruz (TX) and Tommy Tuberville (AL) have included language in their proposals that could prohibit schools from sharing revenue with student-athletes. They also contend student-athletes do not want to be employees. Meanwhile, several Democratic lawmakers, including Cory Booker (NJ), Chris Murphy (CT) and Richard Blumenthal (CT) oppose such language. Christovich adds: A federal agency overseeing NIL is ‘not going to fly with most Republicans,’ one of the aides said. But an antitrust exemption likely wouldn’t fly with most Democrats, as it would be another method the NCAA could use to stamp out legal attempts at getting athletes employment rights. There isn’t even bipartisan agreement that Congress should act. The Democratic aide suggested that it’s unclear to them whether there’s enough of a problem with NIL right now for Congress to step in.” (link)

Earlier this month, Amherst faculty reviewed athletic recruiting data and its impact on admissions which began with President Michael Elliott emphasizing the importance of athletics, the progress that has been made and still needs to be made regarding equity, adding: “Equally important is that athletics recruiting takes place within an ecosystem that includes both Division III and our athletics conference, NESCAC. The NESCAC presidents are actively considering how to reform the recruiting system … so that it better serves our institutions in light of the Supreme Court decision.” Professor of Economics Jessica Reyes, who brought the issue forward, told The Amherst Student that the same inequities exist from five to 10 years ago, but the efforts taken have made an impact, concluding: “I do not believe Amherst’s values are consistent with having two admissions processes that are separate and unequal, one that is the official one we acknowledge and another one that is somewhat secret (though it is explained in reports) that serves to amplify existing privilege.” (link)

The bad news, however, is that freshman enrollment declined by 3.6%, nearly wiping out last year’s gain of 4.6% and leaving first-year enrollment less than a percentage point higher than it was in fall 2021. The declines were most pronounced for white students and at four-year institutions with lower acceptance rates, reversing years of growth trends for the most selective higher ed institutions. The report also indicates that female enrollment increased by 1.2% while male enrollment experienced a 2.2% uptick. (link)
