The MIAC rolls out changes to Football and Basketball scheduling and a new four-year strategic plan. On the gridiron, this year will be the league’s last with football divisions. In 2025 and 2026, the MIAC will play an eight-game conference slate, with seven regular-season games and a championship week that will see the top two teams play for the MIAC title and the third-best to play fourth-best, fifth-best to host sixth-best, etc. Starting in 2027, the league will move to a single-round robin football schedule with space for one non-conference game. On the hardwood, the conference will play a round-and-a-half conference slate on a four-year trial. “The reduced conference schedule is intended to provide better scheduling flexibility for teams to add quality non-conference games to match the needs of their programs while also allowing coaches to maintain increased autonomy over their schedules. The philosophy will be assessed by coaches and administrators midway through the four-year trial.” The strategic plan through 2027 includes five pillars – athletics, academics, well-being, integrity and inclusivity – and eight new subcommittees. Of note, the Competition Subcommittee will continue to evaluate scheduling and “Create a roadmap detailing the impact of the NCAA Power Index (NPI) and best practices to increase overall conference strength of schedule.” Also, “The New Revenue Generation Subcommittee aims to identify potential opportunities for financial partnerships, sponsorships, and advertising, while also evaluating video revenue models and ensuring transparent financial practices in the MIAC.” More.

NCAA Legal News:

+ USA Today’s Steve Berkowitz summarizes challenges to the House settlement that were filed by yesterday’s deadline: “Two separate sets of attorneys made filings asking U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken to deny preliminary approval of the proposed settlement. Taken together, the arguments combined to raise myriad issues about the deal, including whether it undervalues the claims, discriminates against female athletes, creates another illegal cap on compensation and the money that would go to the plaintiffs' attorneys. [...] Lawyers involved with the case in Colorado (Fontenot case) say that while the proposed settlement values the claims they are pursuing at a little over $1.8 billion, they ‘obtained an independent, preliminary estimate from a respected economist’ that places the value of these claims at $24.3 billion. A submission from that economist was included among their filings. [...] The attorneys for the (six Women’s) rowers allege that the settlement’s ‘extreme preferential treatment of male football and basketball players suggests that Class Counsel pursued those groups’ interests to the near exclusion of interests of other’ athletes.” Tons more details.

+ Sportico’s Michael McCann breaks down the legal objections to the House settlement submitted by former Yale rowing student-athlete Grace E. Menke and five others who are, or were, members of the Yale, Oregon State, George Washington and Texas crew teams. McCann explains that their “core argument is the settlement would continue to deprive college athletes, particularly women athletes, of their rightful compensation and illogically substitute one illegal cartel for another. … The objectors contend while thousands of football and men’s basketball players would receive more than $100K, nearly all women athletes, save for ‘select basketball players,’ would be paid a comparatively meager $125. This arrangement, the objectors assert, ‘reinforc[es] wrongful gender inequities instead of remedying them’ and would constitute ‘a major setback for efforts to achieve gender equity in college athletics.’” Further, the former student-athletes contend the settlement would replace one price-fixing scheme with another that imposes a compensation cap which includes no salaries and was not collectively bargained. According to data cited by the objectors, since about 380K student-athletes would get roughly $125 for their labor, that would amount to “less than seven hours of work per year at the federal minimum wage” which they ridicule as “orders of magnitude less than the number of hours student-athletes provide to their schools in athletic labor.” More from McCann.
