Colby-Sawyer names Franklin Pierce (DII) Assoc. AD for Compliance/SWA Jeanette McKillop as its next AD, starting June 1. President Susan Stuebner: “The search committee and I were impressed with Jen's experience in mentoring and developing successful coaches, her encouragement of student-athletes in pursuing their best and whole selves and her ability to collaborate well with all campus constituents. I know that Jen will apply her many talents to enhancing the Chargers' tradition of excellence.” McKillop: “One of my primary goals is to build on that holistic approach to student development, ensuring that every student-athlete receives the support they need to succeed both on and off the field. I see athletics as an avenue for not just physical development, but also for fostering essential life skills and character traits that are invaluable in all aspects of life. […] The passion and dedication evident throughout the institution are inspiring, and I am eager to contribute to this culture of excellence. My hope is to enhance the integration of athletics into the broader campus community and foster a sense of unity and pride among all.” (link)

NCAA Legal Matters:

+ The NCAA and Power 5 leagues could face over $939M in damages from the Hubbard case that seeks repayment of Alston payments dating back to 2019-20, with the class-action suit penalty to triple the $313M estimated for that period. USA Today’s Steve Berkowitz and Steve Gardner noting: “The NCAA is arguing that the Hubbard case should not be granted class-action status because the ‘highly varied and diverse ways in which ... schools implemented Alston awards present inherently individualized issues.’ It draws a distinction between those and the class-wide damages that are mostly uniform and can be determined in a manageable way. Added to possible damages from another pending case, the NCAA and its largest conferences could be on the hook for a total of $5.1 billion. The Hubbard case and the other pending case are proceeding in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California’s Oakland Division. That's the same venue through which other antitrust suits against the NCAA related to college-athlete compensation have proceeded over the past 14 years.” (link)

+ Sportico’s Michael McCann breaks down the latest NCAA legal challenge, Brantmeier v. NCAA, which was brought forward by North Carolina (DI) Women’s Tennis student-athlete Reese Brantmeier & argues to allow current student-athletes to maximize prize earnings in the face of an industry marked by unregulated NIL deals. McCann’s take: “In the coming weeks, the NCAA will answer the complaint and raise counterarguments. The NCAA will likely contend its rules are reasonable restrictions to oversee college sports. The association could argue tournament prizes are qualitatively different from NIL payments. The former reflects the labor of athletes in arguably professional settings whereas the latter is supposed to reflect the commercial use of an athlete’s identity.  [...] Antitrust threats against NCAA rules governing tennis, skiing and other lower-profile college sports (relative to football and basketball) might not seem like grave threats to amateurism. But the reality is quite different. Each case against the NCAA builds on others, and successful cases create favorable precedent for other parties to use against the NCAA.” (link)

Arcadia will have around 20K square-feet of new athletics space this fall as the university is working on transforming a former high school into 75K square feet of academic and laboratory space, with space for a Men’s and Women’s Golf training space. (link) 

Whittier alumni are pushing to raise $145K to bring back the Men’s Lacrosse program, which was discontinued after the 2022-23 academic year. Lacrosse alum Joe McCarthy: “I’ve been in communication with the new president and a few members of the board, and a big part of the last president's exit was the cutting of athletics. What really woke up the alumni was cutting football, golf and lacrosse. For the alums of the 60s, it was football; for the 80s and 90s, it was lacrosse. I served on an athletics task force last summer. I did research, went through budget numbers, and after reviewing my memo, the college said, ‘If you can raise X amount of dollars, we can fund it.’ I told them, ‘Challenge accepted.’” Currently the plan is to restart an MCLA team, given the financial and travel concerns, and explore NCAA status at a later time, with the deadline for fundraising of May 7.

The NCAA and USOPC have partnered to release a second video highlighting the connection between college sports and the U.S. Olympic team. The 30-second spot is set to run during March Madness and future NCAA championship broadcasts. USOPC Chief of Sport and Athlete Services Rocky Harris: “Team USA will feature more than 850 athletes representing over 50 sports in the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris this summer, and the majority of these athletes will also be proudly representing their colleges back home. March Madness and the upcoming NCAA championship season provide the perfect stage to honor Team USA's collegiate ties, which are essential to growing and keeping sport strong in our country." (link)
