NCAA President Charlie Baker sat down with Hoops HQ headliner Seth Davis as the college basketball seasons gets underway, says he spends 40 to 50 percent of his time on legal issues, points to what comes next on the legal front, “Once we get the settlement in place, we’ll really be looking for some way to deal with the 35-plus states that have different standards, which makes it hard to create a level playing field. The other thing is the employment issue. When I talk to people in Congress, it always sounded to me like the employment piece was more about a means to an end as opposed to an end. One of the things we’ve tried to do with this settlement is create a mechanism that makes it possible for schools with the resources, with the high resources, to be able to support and compensate student-athletes for their time and their participation in their name, image and likeness. That was the primary objective of a lot of those conversations.” Also of note from Baker: “I think the whole question about how and where enforcement takes place and what it looks like is going to go through a massive reconsideration. There’s a lot of architecture that’s associated with the current model that, just by definition, goes away the minute this new settlement becomes an injunction. But I don’t disagree with you. I think the enforcement piece is absolutely up for grabs in terms of what makes the most sense going forward.” Lots more from Davis & Baker. (link)

Wisconsin-La Crosse Men’s Tennis student-athlete/SAAC member Brady Hortsmann shares his thoughts on employment with The Racquet Press. “A lot of people don’t get what the DIII perspective is. A lot of us come here for school and our sport too… people need to realize that we [athletes] don’t play sports expecting to get anything financial out of it. […] I think it’s very important for athletes to be vocal about this issue. We [athletes] were very vocal about NIL and were able to enact change in positive ways… we need to stay vocal to see positive change throughout the program.” (link)

More from Shenandoah AD DeShon Foxx’s AD in Residence on how he is building his team and setting his vision for the Hornets. On building his team: “Our strategy for building this team combines recognizing and promoting the talent we have within Shenandoah and selectively adding fresh perspectives from outside the university. Internal promotions are essential for reinforcing loyalty and showing that we value those who have made a direct impact. These individuals embody our core values of Excellence, Leadership, Integrity, Trust, and Endurance (ELITE), which serve as our north star. They understand and buy into the culture we’re building, and they help shape it further by setting an example of what it means to serve others and work towards shared goals. When hiring externally, we look for people who are not only talented and driven but who also align with our values of servant leadership. We want individuals who are go-getters, unafraid to innovate and try new things, and who see the value in over-communicating and working closely with others. Bringing in these fresh perspectives adds to the diversity of thought on our team and helps us continually grow, adapt, and evolve.” Foxx says one of SU’s biggest challenges is increasing community engagement. “As we work to build up our infrastructure and expand support services, community engagement becomes essential. It’s an opportunity to bring others into our journey in a way that feels purposeful, showing them the direct impact they can have on the lives and successes of our athletes.” Further: “Growth, in every sense of the word, is what drives us forward. By prioritizing initiatives that align with our core values and the needs of our athletes, we’re working together to build a department that supports success both on and off the field. The year ahead presents opportunities to deepen our impact and leave a lasting legacy of support, growth, and community around Shenandoah Athletics.” Check out all of Foxx’s responses on BOSCA.
