USA Today’s Steve Berkowitz: “The NCAA and Power 5 conferences have filed a petition with 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, seeking review of district judge's decision to grant class-action status in damages portion of House/Prince antitrust lawsuit that could put at least $4.2 billion at stake at trial.” Per the filing: “The NCAA disagrees with the district court’s ruling, as NIL is highly specific and certification of vast classes comprised of student-athletes with unique, and often conflicting, interests is clearly contrary to the law. The NCAA fully supports all student-athletes profiting from their NIL and continues to increase benefits for student-athletes — including new health and well-being requirements and guaranteed academic supports for all of Division I – but absent immediate appellate review, the decision could have inequitable and devastating consequences for college sports nationwide.” More in Berkowitz’s X (Twitter) feed.

Westminster (PA) AD Jason Lener sat down with The MOGL Podcast to talk about plans for his alma mater, his desire to be an AD, NIL and more. Lener points to some tired facilities that need an upgrade, adding: “When you work at a small school that has a lot of history and tradition, sometimes it's challenging to implement change. You can become a little complacent, and you think that because you've had success in the past, that you're always going to continue to have that success. So what I like to say is that, yes, we're Westminster College, but we're not the same old Westminster College because we need to do things differently. We're not just going to show up anymore and have that success.” Asked about the opportunity to sit in the chair and the mindset necessary for the role: “What I've tried to share with our coaches is that I have a lot of old school in me with my expectations of how you coach, how you teach, even with our student-athletes, in terms of your work ethic, your commitment, your loyalty, but I also have to adapt to today's modernness and understanding that the student-athlete wants to see shiny new things, new facilities and nice things. […] What I've tried to do is bring some of the things that I've learned at the schools at the highest level and implement some of them here at Westminster, so our student-athletes can have some of those things. It might be on a much, much smaller scale, but to them, it's a really big deal. When I looked at NIL, I thought, why not be at the forefront? There's nobody in our conference that's doing it, there's only a handful of Division III schools that are doing it, and everything that I've done here in my two-plus years has really been about what can we do to differentiate Westminster? What tools can I give our coaches that when they're recruiting, and it comes down to three schools, what's going to differentiate Westminster from those other schools?” More. (link)
