Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger breaks down the impact tomorrow’s general election could have on college sports, particularly as “federal policy looms larger than ever for college sports decision-makers on at least three fronts: (1) comprehensive congressional college sports legislation; (2) the interpretation and enforcement of Title IX as it relates to athlete revenue sharing; and (3) the debate over college athletes as employees.” Former LEAD1 CEO Tom McMIllen explains that if “Republicans take the Senate and Democrats take the House, it’s going to be difficult to get stuff done. If Republicans have a clean sweep, they could get all the agenda done. The more likely scenario is a split government and it’s going to require hard work to get a compromise done. I don’t see a clean sweep.” McMillen also says a Kamala Harris presidential victory could be a “big factor” in how Title IX is applied to revenue-sharing. “She would be taking office right when this whole [House] thing happens. I’ve talked to a lot of Democratic members. [The distribution method] is not sitting well with a lot of female members of Congress.” Meanwhile, Illinois professor Michael LeRoy notes Donald Trump has suggested publicly he would eliminate the Department of Education, at which point something would have to give between higher ed and college athletics. “We would be in a world of unprecedented chaos. College athletics could not avoid the fallout.” (link)

Education & Sports Law Group Partner Janet Judge joins AthleticDirectorU’s Tai M. Brown at the 2024 Women Leaders Convention to offer insights into the legal challenges facing today’s athletics landscape, including the House settlement, Johnson case and related NLRB cases, a recent NCAA study on online harassment and the Title IX implications from all the tumult. Judge notes that “football [is] quite important. The challenge is keeping the pipeline of Olympic sports, men’s and women’s, and not losing the diversity of sport as we move forward in the current legal landscape.” Judge goes on to point out that Title IX law does not pertain to employment relationships, which is another factor to be considered when thinking about whether student-athletes should be classified as employees. “So, it’s very complicated and really interesting. It is the epitome of a law school exam.” Judge also discusses the impact of today’s challenges on the way leaders think strategically, develop a team and build out their department: “We’ve operated as silos for a very long time. And we’re learning through the litigation that operating in that space without more broadly thinking about things that the institution is dealing with in the legal space has in some instances led to increased controls placed on young people that are coming to light. … So [I’m] spending a lot of time working with schools and also thinking more broadly about at the one time where all the legal pressures and social pressures may be leading some people in athletics to become even more insular, it’s absolutely the time where we need to not be insular.” More on ADU.

@1QLeadership Question: Does the adjustment from making decisions to giving suggestions have to be difficult?

Kim Record, Sr. Associate Commissioner & Chief of Staff at the Atlantic 10 (A10) Conference, talks about her adjustment to working with longtime A10 Commissioner, Bernadette McGlade. Record talks about times when challenging conversations are necessary for the team to be effective.

• trust is the bottom line of any kind of relationship

• anytime there is change, there is opportunity

• teaching, learning, and giving back are necessary for success

Record also covers learning how to become a team when many people in the office have only been together for a couple years. She believes active listening and empathy are two important skills for effective leadership. 🎧 on Spotify or Apple Podcasts

NCAA Director of Inclusion Gretchen Miron joins Connect’s Stephanie Garcia Cichosz for a discussion about emerging sports, what’s gaining traction, and what sports are trending to gain approval to be added as the next NCAA women’s sport. Miron says women’s wrestling in particular has a lot of momentum and has “grown exponentially at the youth level. They are sanctioned as a high school sport for girls in 47 states and they have over 90 schools competing this year. They’ve just been growing rapidly and providing new opportunities to a really diverse set of student-athletes – people that maybe would not have gone to college but for this opportunity. Miron also notes acrobatics and tumbling, STUNT and triathlon “are all getting closer, which is super exciting and then we do still continue to see great momentum with women's rugby. Obviously, the bronze medal at the Olympics was a huge part of that. And then equestrian has some really storied programs that continue to provide great opportunities to those student-athletes.” Miron also points out that four of those six sports are Olympic and Paralympic sports.

+ The American Enterprise Institute has ranked more than 400 current and former college presidents who served between 2000–01 and 2022–23 on how well they improved access, affordability, and student success over the course of their presidency. The rankings reveal that some presidents were “superstars” at improving access, affordability and student success. These presidents cut tuition costs, expanded access to low-income and racially underrepresented student groups, and increased graduation rates. But some presidents performed poorly in these areas, with a handful overseeing steep declines in graduation rates, affordability, and access. According to the AEI’s Cody Christensen, the “wide spread across the rankings suggests that higher education boards should begin using performance metrics to hold college presidents accountable for the changes in the outcomes of their students.” The report also found that 20.1% of all current presidents are female, 79.9% of all current presidents are white, 9.7% are black, 2.2% are Hispanic, 8.2% are Asian and the average length of tenure is 7.6 years. For all presidents during the course of the study, the average tenure was 7.95 years. Christensen: “The goal of these rankings is to provide high-level, publicly available information that highlights the best leaders, similar to how public information about private companies (such as stock prices, quarterly revenues, and growth projections) is used to judge the best leaders of private companies. The rankings also reveal which college presidents are consistently low performers, helping oversight organizations keep institutional leaders accountable.” Full study and rankings, which for DIII leaders is topped by UC Santa Cruz Chancellor Cynthia Larive.
