The DIII Interpretations and Legislation Committee has recommended the DIII Management Council approve noncontroversial legislation in concept to establish NIL protections for student-athletes including a voluntary registration process for service providers and NCAA-managed educational programming, “incorporate the existing graduate/postbaccalaureate student participation waiver directive for non-Division III graduates,” allow staff and coaches to engage with student-athlete social media content out-of-season and permit international student-athletes to participate in practice during their 45-day temporary certification period. More on the NIL protections set to go in place August 1: “A national, centralized registration process that collects and publishes information on service providers interested in working with student-athletes would assist student-athletes with making informed decisions as they select service providers. […] making available practical resources for student-athletes such as resources to help them understand contracts including standardized contract terms and taxable income and establish a personal brand would better assist student-athletes in navigating the NIL environment.” The incorporation of the non-DIII graduate/postbaccalaureate waiver will “alleviate the administrative burden” on schools, in addition to the blanket waiver that has been in place for the last two academic years, and is set to go into effect on August 1. Also of note, the committee directed staff to archive the previous amateurism interpretation regarding individual sport student-athletes declaring themselves as professional athletes and draft a new, updated version.

Division III will officially adopt the new first-down timing rules next season, in addition to a proposed two-minute warning at the end of each half. The Football Rules Committee is proposing all NCAA members be permitted to use tablets on the sideline for in-game video, conferences to use a collaborative replay review system and submit proposals to use wearable technology during games. Also of note, the committee is proposing stronger enforcement against uniform violations that would see a player have to sit out at least one play for a first violation and all subsequent uniform violations by a team result in a charged timeout or five-yard penalty once no timeouts remain. All proposals are pending Playing Rules Oversight Panel approval next month. (link)

The field is set for the Men’s and Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships with 260 male and 319 female student-athletes. (link)

Membership Moves:

+ The MASCAC will add Plymouth State and UMass Dartmouth as Football affiliate members starting in 2025-26. Commissioner Angela Baumann: “As the New England football landscape continues to evolve, we determined that adding these two institutions would enhance our student-athletes' experience by providing them additional conference games along with the fact that we were able to come to a long-term affiliate commitment agreement to ensure the longevity of MASCAC Football for our member institution. […] With this addition, the conference will now have 10 competing teams which decreases the pressure to find non-conference contests. Going forward, we are requiring our affiliates to make a longer term-membership commitment which will ensure the longevity of MASCAC Football.” (link)

+ Lawrence Men’s and Women’s Lacrosse will join the NACC as affiliate members beginning in 2024-25. (link)
