Springfield President Mary-Beth Cooper chats with The Springfield Student about becoming the Vice Chair of the NCAA Board of Governors and key DIII issues. “When I am at the Board of Governors meeting, I always remind them about Division III athletes. [I ask]; ‘So how do you think Division III athletes will feel about that?’ For example, there was a proposal about health care, [offering] two years of post-graduation [coverage] for student-athletes. It was initially suggested that Division I student-athletes have two-year coverage after graduation. I raised my hand and said, ‘What about the [Division III] athletes? Can they be afforded the same benefit?’ And the answer was, ‘Let’s look into it.’ Then the answer became yes, that all three divisions will get that benefit.” Cooper’s top priority: “ensuring that student-athletes are not seen as employees.” (link)

DIII SAAC Chair/ Pomona-Pitzer Football AC and alum Vaishnav Siddapureddy sits down with Connect’s Steph Garcia Cichosz at the 2024 NCAA Convention to discuss the prospect of employment, NIL, key issues of focus for the committee and more. On the consequences of student-athletes becoming employees: “We look at a lot of the domino effects of becoming an employee whether that comes to your coach being your boss and how being cut or fired affects your experience as a Division III athlete, and then schools not being able to afford to pay athletes. How many more schools could get shut down if all of a sudden we're employees instead of student-athletes first. Also just the Division III experience as we've talked about and the biggest reason I chose Division III is because you can do everything and all of a sudden if I'm coming back from practice and I have a choice of clocking in and watching more film so I could you know get overtime or should I work on my homework. You don't want to put Division III student- athletes or any student athletes for that matter in that situation. I think even last year when that was first brought up with Division I, Division II, I think once you see the domino effect of what it can have on institutions, individuals and their experiences you look at it like not it's not going to be best at any any level and I think preserving the student-athlete experience as student and athlete has come to the forefront.” More from Siddapureddy on NIL, sports gambling and his personal future can be found only on Connect.

Gallaudet cancels its Baseball season, citing a depleted roster. AD Warren Keller: “This was a very difficult decision and one that was not made lightly. However, the safety, health and well-being of our student-athletes is most important. It would not have been right to force a small number of players to play a competitive schedule this season.” (link)
