Hackett: "It's been a privilege being able to celebrate the spirit of Logger athletics with so many dedicated people. Over the course of my career, I've been fortunate to witness the pinnacle of the student-athletes' passion for their sport and be part of the journey for nearly 40 years." (link)

Attorneys on both sides of the House settlement are preparing to file briefs with the court as soon as this week, according to Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger. In response to U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken’s concerns about third-party compensation for student-athletes, plaintiffs’ attorney Jeffrey Kessler says: “I think it was actually more of a lack of clarity. We expect to address those questions and we don’t expect it to be a problem for the judge to approve [the settlement] the next time we go back.” Dellenger notes that language “relating to third-party endorsement (NIL) deals is expected to only be ‘clarified’ and not amended or changed in a significant way. … Any significant change to language regulating third-party pay is described as a ‘non-starter’ and would likely lead many within the industry to choose trial as an alternative.” Kessler says attorneys for both sides have met in recent days and believes “all of those issues can be worked out.” (link)

D3.ticker parent company Drive & Company is partnering with BOSCA. The partnership will include, as you’ve seen in recent editions, print and video interviews with athletics professionals on the BOSCA website and enhanced visibility and participation for D&C at BOSCA events and programming. D&C COO Maria Buckel: “Drive & Company is committed to creating value and efficiency for college athletic professionals. As a former Division III AD, I understand the importance of being informed of all the changes in college athletics while also having limited time outside to do so. I also know there is so much great work being done on campuses across the country that is not being reported by any media source. We are thrilled to work with Jim Abbott and BOSCA to help amplify this work.” (link)

@1QLeadership Question: Can the processes learned throughout your career lay the foundation for entrepreneurial pursuits?

Dr. Jason Penry, Founder of Penry Advisors, spent years working in fundraising in college athletics and on campus in general. Not long ago, he decided to start a business based on the concepts he learned during his career raising money.

• "involvement precedes investment, almost always"

• relationships work across all industries

• doing things for the greater good makes it easier to put in the time

• never promise something you can't deliver

Before branching out on his own, Penry used the same concepts to help start a medical school in the state of Arkansas. He also notes that the pace of athletics fundraising is far more urgent, in terms of immediate use, than academic fundraising. 🎧 on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

Gallaudet has received NCAA approval to use its specialized helmets, developed through a partnership with AT&T, for the remainder of the season. The helmet has a small display screen that allows a coach to send plays to the helmet via tablet. Bison HC Chuck Goldstein: “We're trying to improve the game, and with us, we're trying to figure out ways to level the playing field for our guys. We're still in the trial phase. One game was a small sample size, and it was all built up for that one shot. Now as we go forward, we're learning a lot about different hiccups and things that are coming down that we weren't aware of last year. […] It's great that the NCAA has approved it for the season so we can work through these kinks. We have time, and we're excited about it -- more excited than ever. And I'm just glad that we have these things and we see what we need to improve.” Gallaudet hopes to start using the technology in two weeks, per the AP. (link)

Johnson v. NCAA plaintiffs’ co-counsel Paul McDonald pens a guest post for Sportico in which he notes the NCAA “opposes college athletes having the same employee rights and protections as student ticket-takers, student seating-attendants and student food concessions workers at NCAA contests. Since Berger v. NCAA was filed in 2014, the NCAA has made its argument by relying upon legal precedent to compare college athletes to unpaid prison labor under the 13th Amendment ‘slavery exception.’ Yet sports media has largely, and inexcusably, failed to cover this outlandish argument at the time of this writing. … To recap, the 13th Amendment abolished slavery and involuntary servitude ‘except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted.’ Vanskike v. Peters is the seminal case establishing that prisoners, therefore, are precluded from recognition as employees under federal laws. The NCAA has relied upon Vanskike v. Peters to argue that its tradition of amateurism should be given the same legal deference, and legal effect, as this ‘slavery exception,’ i.e., that NCAA members have the right to treat college athletes like convicted prisoners.” McDonald notes the Third Circuit Court of Appeals rejected this argument over the summer, yet sports media said nothing. Nor did the media speak up when Rev. Al Sharpton and NFLPA issued a joint statement denouncing the NCAA’s prison labor comparison. … Since this is football season, consider this Op-Ed a hand-off to sports media, which, to make its living, relies upon access to black people in college and pro sports. I implore sports media to run with this story, call this flagrant foul, and respect black history and dignity.” (link)
