According to a poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, 55% of American adults believe NCAA athletes should not be permitted to form unions that would allow them to collectively bargain with their schools as employees. However, younger Americans, Democrats and Independents are more open to unionization. About 6 in 10 adults under the age of 45 support allowing college athletes to form unions. That figure drops to 36% among those between the ages of 45-59 and 23% among those 60 and older. Across party lines, 56% of Democrats and about half of Independents say athletes should be permitted to form unions. Only 23% of Republicans are supportive. Additionally, 55% of non-white adults support college athletes being allowed to unionize, compared to 34% of white adults. The survey also found that 53% of U.S. adults say colleges and universities with major athletic programs should provide athletes with a share of any revenue received from broadcast rights. However, less than half support giving athletes additional spending money, a salary or exemptions from certain academic courses that they need to graduate. (link)

A 277-page congressional commission report released this month envisions wide-scale changes to the USOPC movement. Recommendations include a greater role for government and oversight, governance changes for the USOPC, and greater independence for athletes and the U.S. Center for SafeSport. However, USOPC CEO Sarah Hirshland tells SBJ’s Rachel Axon the committee is not content to wait for Congress to put the recommendations into action: “With the amount of time and the practical realities of getting anything to happen in the government, it would be irresponsible of me to sit back and hope. We’re going to work on the things we can influence.” University of Baltimore law professor Dionne Koller, who co-chaired the Commission on the State of U.S. Olympics and Paralympics: “I believe in all the recommendations. I think they’re all doable because they were a result of a bipartisan commission that came to consensus as we studied the issues and saw where the facts led us.” Anthem Engineering Chief Engineer/Commission Co-Chair Han Xiao adds: “We’re cautiously optimistic right now. We’re really encouraged that because of our really bipartisan process, that’s being reflected in bipartisan interest in Congress to be able to draft legislation. We understand it’s an election year. The window is short to be able to get anything done.” (link)

A total of 16 former female student-athletes have filed a lawsuit against the NCAA “challenging NCAA regulations allowing male athletes to compete in women’s sports. This suit follows in the wake of a legal demand letter, sent by ICONS (The Independent Council on Women’s Sports) in 2023. The lawsuit seeks to change the NCAA’s policies that allow male athletes who identify as transgender to participate in women’s sports. The plaintiffs, representing a broad coalition of female athletes across multiple sports, argue the NCAA’s regulations compromise the fairness and integrity of women’s competitive sports and discriminate against women, violating Title IX’s core principles.” ICONS, the press release continues, is providing “exclusive funding” for the suit. ICONS Co-Founder Marshi Smith: “This lawsuit against the NCAA isn’t just about competition; it’s a fight for the very essence of women’s sports. We’re standing up for justice and the rights of female athletes to compete on a level playing field. It’s about preserving the legacy of Title IX and ensuring that the future of women’s sports is as bright as its past.” (link)

After advancing to the Sweet 16, Keene State Men’s Basketball Acting HC David Hastings will not be considered for the permanent position due to his lack of a bachelor’s degree as is required by the University System of New Hampshire, per The Keene Sentinel’s Michael McMahon. Hastings: “I am disappointed that my history of service to my country and to my community in law enforcement and my collective service isn’t viewed in a way that makes me eligible. I think my background is pretty good. I don’t have a piece of paper that says I went to school. ... I was confident that I was going to be able to keep this job and that something would be figured out. It’s a shame.” President Melinda Treadwell: This is not about David’s performance, but it is about disrupting structures across our system that are intentional and designed to recruit coaches in a way that is consistent and in the best interest of our respective institutions. David has been steadfast during his many years with the men’s basketball team at Keene State, and I am grateful and appreciative of his dedication and passion on and away from the court.” (link)
