NCAA President Charlie Baker joins The Dan Patrick Show and says his goal as far as keeping member institutions together is “I want to keep the unhappy family unhappy and together, but happier than they were before.” He calls the House settlement a “pretty good example of an opportunity to create what I would describe as a framework that works for the power schools and works for the others as well.” Baker answers a question about the impact of Donald Trump’s return to the White House by noting that “I do think the president-elect has demonstrated he's a huge college sports fan. He doesn't just talk about it, he actually goes to the events. He went to the wrestling championship last year, he’s been to a bunch of the football bowl games, he's gone to the basketball stuff. I mean, this is somebody who clearly appreciates what college sports is about and I think that will help too.” Moving forward, Baker believes that “our ability to succeed is going to be driven to some extent by our ability to make it possible for the big schools to be what they are and who they are and to make sure that the other schools have the ability to be what they are – instead of trying to think about all of them as being the same because they’re not.” More from Baker.

St. Mary’s (MD) AD Crystal Gibson joins D3.ticker’s Anthony Grassi at the 2024 Women Leaders in Sports Convention about her leadership role with NADIIIAA, serving as a leader beyond her institution and more. Currently serving as the third VP for NADIIIAA, Gibson is using the next couple years to learn as the organization is going through a strategic plan. “Our board over the last two years has really taken on trying to figure out what we need for Division III and how can we get our athletic directors more involved with the division because the voice is imperative to our growth. The NCAA is going through a lot of transition right now. I think there's a lot of uncertainty about Division I athletics, Division II athletics and certainly Division III athletics and where we're going to be able to find funding for ourselves long-term, how can we support ourselves without feeling like we're going to fall flat.This is a place where we provide the most opportunities for scholastic students so we need to be able to position ourselves in a place that we can continue to thrive.” Asked about the leadership dynamic serving other DIII institutions that may have different needs than St. Mary’s: “I have to fight for what we need on our campus. We're a small, state, public, liberal arts institution. There's not a lot of us out there and so my voice to be able to amplify that in ways outside of my campus is huge, but I also know there's a lot of Institutions that are different than mine. We're okay right now. We have a lot of small schools that are not right and so to be able to think about those schools and what their needs are, we have a lot of underfunded institutions out there. How can we provide more data that's going to help them get the funding that they need to get the resources they need so those student- athletes can have a better experience. I think that's the balance. When I'm on my campus, I'm fighting for what we need […] and then when I'm in these board meetings we're talking to the NCAA, we're talking to them, we're trying to get surveys out to hear what's happening on campuses. I think in Division III you run the gamut of the schools that are in here, so it's important to have a touch on each one of those schools.” Full conversation on BOSCA. (link)

More from ESPN’s Dan Murphy and Michael Rothestein on how roster limits are impacting Olympic sports teams, as Louisville (DI) Baseball HC Dan McDonnell says the limits will make it even more challenging to hold effective practices. "If you have 10 pitchers throw today and tomorrow, you literally can't scrimmage for three, four or five days. And so we're limited as it is with how many times we're able to intrasquad. So as a coach, there's a competitive side that concerns us with 34." In-season, McDonnell could see a world where teams cancel or forfeit games due to a lack of healthy players, particularly pitchers. Coaches also say they are disappointed they might have to eliminate spots for student-athletes willing to pay their own tuition for a chance to be a part of a DI team, with McDonnell remarking: “That's where I have the hardest time of capping a roster. Not even talking about development and scrimmaging and having enough players and all that stuff. I hate it for kids that want to be a part of your program, and now you're going to have to say, ‘I'm sorry, you can't.’” Meanwhile, Cal Lutheran Women’s Soccer HC Frank Marino points out some players who previously would’ve played in DI may end up at DII or DIII schools, where there are no roster limits. "Where I think this is actually going to help is for those recruits, I think if the [youth] clubs do their job, they are going to push those mid-major, lower-end DI recruits to the top DII's and D-III's. And I actually think it's going to better the level of DII and DIII soccer. And I also think it's going to better the experience for those student-athletes." (link)
