Davis & Elkins AD Pat Snively has departed after two-plus years to become the president of the Marion County Chamber of Commerce. Snively: “Amy and I are not native to Marion County. We came here for college, but we felt like this community always embraced us. We felt like people in this community were always warm and welcoming to us, and when we decided that this was a place that we wanted to settle and make our lives, we felt like we could make a difference here. [...] Engaging here in this community is very important to us. I took my grandmother’s favorite quote, and we’ve established roots here. We want to make sure that we stay connected to this community and allow for the community to flourish with what leadership we can bring to it.” (link)

Grand Valley State AD Keri Becker sits down with D2.ticker/Connect’s Anthony Grassi to discuss GVSU’s unique position in DII, the culture of success, how she evaluates personnel, the GLIAC’s media rights deal with FloSports and more. On the prospect of a DI move as has long been hypothesized for the Lakers, Becker says she wouldn’t be doing her job if she did not keep a pulse of what was happening around the DI and NCAA landscape. Coming off of their 15th LEARFIELD Directors’ Cup, Becker credits the history of success to holding onto the core elements that create an environment where student-athletes can “develop leadership and talent through the context of their sport, they get a degree and can get a job and start their career.” One of those elements is recruiting and retaining quality coaches, which she defines as those “who are great CEOs of a program, excellent coaches and teachers at heart that can teach the game and develop talent […] and are good human beings. Do they create these places … where they are doing all they can to make their programs portal-proof?” Tons more value in the conversation only on Connect. (link)

Michigan (DI) Concussion Center Director Dr. Steven Broglio talks with Connect/MB Sports’ Matt Banker about the recent “Concussion Exposure and Suicidal Ideation, Planning, and Attempts Among US High School Students” article which appeared recently in a special mental health issue of the Journal of Athletic Training. Broglio and Banker dive into the findings of the article, including whether a greater proportion of male or female athletes reported one or more concussions last year and other key takeaways for college administrators and coaches. Broglio advises talking with suicide experts about specific behaviors to be on the lookout for, but notes that in his role as an athletic trainer he keeps an eye out for individuals who are withdrawn from the team. “That’s one of the strengths of an athletic trainer is they tend to know the athletes very well. They get to know them on a one-on-one basis, and we're trying to sort of spot those irregularities and then be in contact with our supervising physician or other healthcare providers that can help with that situation.” Check out the full Q&A on an important topic on Connect.
