Saint Rose is facing a multimillion dollar deficit and asking the City of Albany for $5M in emergency funding, in addition to reaching out to other legislative bodies, as its future is unclear, per the Times Union’s Kathleen Moore and Steve Hughes. Funding from the city is not on the table immediately and the legislature is not expected to meet again until January and state funding would not be available until next year’s budget, if at all, as the college faces a January 16, 2024 deadline to improve its financial viability for the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. Chair of the state’s Higher Education Committee State Senator Toby Ann Stavisky (D-Queens): “These issues go back prior to the pandemic — they were warned nine or 10 years ago by Middle States. And there were questions involving how effective the education is at the college. There are a lot of issues here. […] I would like to see them succeed, I truly would,” she said. “But unless they merge with another college — that is the only solution I can see.” (link)

NCAA Director of Governance Susan Peal joined Connect/MB Sports’ Matt Banker from the 2023 Women Leaders National Convention to discuss the most recent policy changes involving the National Letter of Intent, specifically with the 4-4 transfer, whether an NLI exception was considered for an assistant coach/primary recruiter departure, trends the NCAA should be paying attention to in relation to the transfer portal, what the national office is doing in terms of supporting education with the portal and more. Trend-wise, Peal explains the NCAA is seeing NLI numbers returning to pre-COVID figures. “During COVID we had those in high school, they couldn't make recruiting visits, but at the same time then our current student-athletes were granted an extra season of competition, so those student-athletes who would have moved on and that would have opened up that athletic scholarship did not. Or maybe they did move on but they moved on to another four-year institution and then were replaced by a four-year transfer. …  Because next year we’re working out of that covid extra season of competition, that's when I think we can really start to be able to look at the data of transfers, the data of initial enrollees, and see really what the landscape looks like.” Check out the full discussion on Connect.
