Hiram will depart the NCAC for the PAC, with the Terriers to become full members in July and all sports to begin competing in the PAC in 2025-26. Hiram President Robert Bohrer: “Athletics has long been an integral part of the student experience at Hiram College with more than half of our students participating in one or more sports. We are pleased to accept the invitation to again join the Presidents' Athletic Conference, which not only means that our student-athletes will compete with schools more locally and give our fans the opportunity to support our teams at away competitions, but also that our students will spend less time out of the classroom traveling for competition, helping to promote a balanced structure between athletics and academics.” (link)

A new rule finalized by the U.S. Department of Labor will require colleges and universities to provide either a pay raise or overtime benefits to thousands of admissions officers, student affairs professionals and athletics staffers. Previously, universities were exempt from clocking work hours and providing overtime pay to any employee salaried at or above $35,568. The new rule raises that bar nearly 65% to $58,656, effective January 1, 2025. The change is expected to impact roughly 4M employees nationwide, and the Biden administration has tried to address concerns about the timeline by breaking the shift into two parts—first a smaller increase to $43,888 by July 1, and then a larger jump to $58,656 in the new year. American Council on Education President Ted Mitchell: “We are disappointed that DOL failed to fully address the concerns raised by the entire higher education community. Ultimately, students will be harmed if institutions are forced to cut services, reduce financial aid, reduce staffing, and raise tuition to address the rapid growth in costs this rule would produce.” (link)

TRT Founder/Executive Director Mike Kenney: “The landscape of college sports is changing rapidly. NIL has taken college athletics by storm, specifically the last two years at the Division I level, and is continuing to grow at all levels of college sports. NIL will be crucial for many programs to compete nationally. Two Rivers Trust was built to support Marietta College men's basketball student-athletes, but more importantly, to give PioNation a chance to contribute to the men's basketball program tradition.

Through the first 100 days of the year, over 130 DIII non-coaching job openings hit the market with Executive Leadership and Communications opportunities leading the way by area of expertise. D3.ticker’s D3.jobs experienced a 13.3% increase in market share year-over-year with all other mainstream jobs boards losing share compared to the first 100 days of 2023. Wheaton (MA) AD Gavin Viano: "We've been impressed with the visibility that the D3.ticker has provided for our head coach searches for years, which is why we jumped at the chance to join the new unlimited bundle package. In DIII, great assistant coaches are hard to find and even harder to retain, so having unlimited annual posting ability for one fixed price is already saving us money, while allowing us to maintain maximum posting reach for all of our full time positions.” (link)
