College of Idaho AD Reagan Rossi sits down with CCC Commissioner Rob Cashell to talk about a number of topics. On the impact of developments across intercollegiate athletics: “It will be very interesting to see how the NCAA takes on this challenge. I think we've gotten out over our skis and we’ve got to get back in alignment and that will trickle down to the NAIA . We were a little bit ahead of them on NIL, but I don't think we went nearly as far as they did as fast. So we need to be prepared to again have those same conversations with our student-athletes about what are our values, what are our priorities and at an institution like ours, it's about academics and it's about athletics. Athletics is great, but if you don't have that academic component, when you're done here, what do we have to show for that? So I think those are conversations that the NAIA needs to be prepared to adjust to and to maybe do a little bit better and be a little bit more thoughtful, as opposed to just rolling out the carpet and then going well, we might have rolled that back in, it's too late.” More.
