NCAA President Charlie Baker in a meeting with media members ahead of the DI men’s hoops national championship again brought up the danger of prop bets: “Did any of you notice how much time was spent on cable TV about Caitlin Clark’s prop performance (after the) first (national semifinals) game leading into the second game? Was that really what we should be talking about in the middle of a women’s Final Four? I think the answer for that for most people is no. … The prop-betting piece is enormously problematic for student-athletes and I’ve had a lot of them say that to me.” Baker also noted the NCAA continues to work on a consumer protection package to help student-athletes and their families better understand the NIL market. Part of that package includes a deal database, which Baker explains isn’t meant to be used for individualized data on specific deals as much as a general income scale. The NCAA is also creating a platform that Baker said is similar to Yelp that will give families a way to discuss NIL third parties and their trustworthiness. “I think this is the first step on our part to try and make sure that all the players in this space get held accountable and we do more to provide more transparency.” (link, link)

The SUNYAC will expand its Men’s and Women’s Hockey membership with national champion Hobart Men’s Hockey, Skidmore Men’s Hockey and William Smith Women’s Hockey. The expansion will allow for a double round-robin schedule for the 10 men’s teams and eight women’s teams. Commissioner Tom DiCamillo: “Hobart and William Smith, and Skidmore, bring outstanding ice hockey programs with rich histories of success in Division III to the SUNYAC. The addition of these programs increases the strength of schedule within the conference and elevates what already is one of the premier Division III conferences in the nation.” (link)

Springfield AD Craig Poisson chats with The Springfield Student about the NEWMAC’s streaming deal with FloSports. Member institutions are set to receive 90% of the money from the agreement, which will require multiple cameras for football and basketball contests and play-by-play announcers for all events. Poisson: “As one of twelve member institutions in the NEWMAC, Springfield College will be well positioned to be at the cusp of the next shift in NCAA Division III Athletics. The agreement provides opportunities for Springfield College athletics – and the stories behind Springfield College student-athletes – to be shared widely domestically, as well as internationally. […] One of my initial thoughts was this partnership should lead to increased opportunities for Springfield College students. For example, I can see this elevating our Communication and Sports Journalism major, in particular, but also having an impact on students from any major interested in content creation, production and on and offscreen talent.”  (link)

+ FAFSA submissions processed by the Department of Education are down 40% year-over-year, with a 27.1% decline in the number of high school seniors who have submitted FAFSA applications. National College Attainment Network Senior Director of Data and Strategic Initiatives Bill DeBaun: “The fact that FAFSA submissions are down 27% year over year — that is still larger than any decline that I have seen in previous years. By both measures, we are in a lot of trouble right now. […] This could have really horrible impacts on postsecondary enrollment this fall.” Inside Higher Ed’s Liam Knox adds: “The 13 percent difference between completions and submissions implies a larger-than-usual number of form errors this year, which the Education Department said cannot be corrected until processing is completed in mid-April. That could set back colleges’ already-delayed timelines on sending financial aid packages, and give students even less leeway to decide which college to attend based on accurate cost information.” (link, link)
