Belmont Abbey Assoc. AD of External Operations Bates and Assoc. AD of Internal Operations Reppell sit down with D2.ticker/Connect’s Eargle to discuss the strategy behind switching roles. The pair switched roles around a month ago, with the duo and AD Miss dividing the responsibilities among Bates and Reppell as they transitioned into their new roles. Bates: “It was in a way to give us both a little bit of a breath of fresh air but also to reinvigorate the department to try and bring us to meet our mission and our vision which is to be regionally and nationally relevant every year, in every sport, while at the same time seeking the formation and development of our students. […[ It's just making us a stronger department while also making Gabby and I stronger together as well, so we're really just trying to build a stronger foundation for our department.” More including what is on the horizon for the Crusaders, only on Connect.

Sportico’s Libit pens an extremely lengthy and complex profile of Winthrop Intelligence/Win AD founders Ben and Drue Moore, observing the duo that built a business on transparency for the college athletics industry also “seem to have discovered the allures of inscrutability, embarking on a series of opaque, risky and invariably failing business pursuits in partnership with a man named Scott Brooks.” Libit characterizes Brooks as an “ex-felon with a court-documented history of mental illness” who has ingratiated himself with the Moores and under whose guidance the Moores have “pursued a hodgepodge of speculative and unfamiliar entrepreneurial endeavors…none of which have proven financially successful—at least not in the conventional sense. All the while, Win AD profits have been funneled through a convoluted asset-concealment scheme involving shell companies, trusts, collusive lawsuits and questionable bankruptcies.” Furthermore, Libit reports “their activities have been denounced in multiple courts, where opposing counsel and at least one judge have suggested the cousins are engaged in an illegal conspiracy.” The details are as numerous as they are multilayered, including Ben’s ex-wife calling Win AD a “cash cow” in divorce proceedings and, “They employed a daily housekeeper, a chef, and private tutors for their children, whom Elizabeth eventually began homeschooling so the family could travel around the world.” Full story, which includes the disclaimer: “Not unlike Win AD’s signature database, this article is built on thousands of public records, including state and federal court filings, police and jail documents.” (link)

St. Mary’s (TX) MBB HC Zeleznak will transition to a Director of Corporate Sponsorships role (link) and be succeeded by Assoc. HC Meyer, whose father held the post he now assumes for more than a quarter century. AD Coleman: “Bubba has an innate ability to connect and build relationships with the student-athletes of today and, once we build out our staff, we will begin the process of building the culture and the passion necessary for becoming a championship program.” (link)

Cedarville names Drury WBB AC Miller as HC. Yellow Jackets AD Cross: “We are excited to welcome a proven winner in Addy Miller to our women's basketball program. Throughout the search process she has demonstrated an impressive balance of faith, humility, passion, and confidence along with a desire to be a part of what God is doing at Cedarville.” (link)

Former Dartmouth (DI) Alpine Skiing HC Dodge shares his “ideas for some significant changes to keep NCAA skiing moving forward,” which include separating the alpine and cross-country structures, awards and schedules; eliminating the NCAA age eligibility exemption for skiing; and creating A and B divisions in the EISA Alpine Conference. Specifically, Dodge suggests the NCAA should change its framework of recognizing men’s and women’s skiing and instead recognize skiing as co-ed alpine and cross-country, adding: “Currently, equal numbers are allocated for men and women for the championships, 148 spots for men and 148 places for women. However, the allocations between alpine and cross-country are not equal, but they should be. There are 26 NCAA alpine and 26 NCAA cross-country member institutions across NCAA Divisions I, II and III.” More. (link)
