The Middle States Commission on Higher Education will withdraw Keystone’s accreditation at the end of the calendar year, pending appeal, citing an inability to show it can sustain itself short or long term, a failure to make required improvements and the lack of compliance with accreditation standards. President John Pullo Sr.: “We all knew that the process of rebuilding Keystone and changing our trajectory would not be easy. At the same time, I feel the adverse action taken by (Middle States) significantly undervalues the progress the College has made over the past several months to strengthen our financial situation, rectify our weaknesses, and move forward. I pledge that we will pursue every possible opportunity as we prepared our appeal.” Pullo told students during a current town hall that the college’s agreement with the Washington Institute for Education and Research will see the two merge sometime in 2025.

MIT AD Anthony Grant joins D3.ticker as the latest AD in Residence to discuss fostering continued success, leveraging relationships at one of the most prestigious universities in the world and more. On the Engineers’ successes: “Our success is not just defined by our wins and losses; it’s really defined by the investment that we make in our student-athletes to ensure they are receiving a high-quality and well-rounded experience during their time here at MIT. The success of our programs started with a commitment to elevating the athletic experience for our student-athletes to align with the academic experience that they were receiving in the classrooms and the labs.” On building relationships across the institute: “It goes without saying that the academic enterprise clearly drives MIT, which makes developing relationships with faculty essential. In my role, I serve as Department Head, in addition to my role as Director of Athletics. Serving as a member of the faculty allows me to engage with faculty in other departments across campus and collaborate within the Institute governance structure.” His advice for aspiring ADs, in part: “The first piece of advice that I would provide anyone who aspires to become an AD is to be clear about their motivation for why they want to move into the “chair” and not waiver from their core values. It is your responsibility to set the direction and embed the culture within your respective departments to position your student-athletes, coaches, and staff to thrive. […] Authenticity as a leader is extremely important. Develop a leadership style that is consistent with who you are as a person. Stay true to yourself. Be honest enough to admit your mistakes and hold yourself accountable, just as much (if not more) than the team you lead. […] it is extremely easy to become consumed by the time demands and pressures associated with being an athletics director. In this position, you are constantly serving and pouring into others. It is important not to forget about taking time out for yourself and your family.” More on BOSCA. (link)

DIII has inked a new four-tear agreement with livestreaming partner Tupelo to stream the Football semifinals, Men’s and Women’s Basketball semifinals and finals and from the quarterfinals to finals in Volleyball for ESPN+. DIII will pay around $240K in FY25 and $260K in each subsequent year, significantly lower than the budgeted $500K. The DIII Championships Committee decided to not support moving the Men’s and Women’s Soccer Championships back one week, citing an increased burden on support staff and facilities, low response rate from ADs and potential weather impacts. As part of the conversation, the group will conduct a comprehensive review of playing and practice seasons “specifically the periods during which the sport seasons overlap, to inform whether modifications to the dates of NCAA championships should be considered.” The committee also approved additional expenditures for the expanded Women’s Golf championship in 2025 and 2026, and is considering a regional model for Men’s and Women’s Golf championships in 2027. Also, the 2025 Women’s Golf Championship will move to Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, Virginia with Christopher Newport to host. (link)

Teamworks has acquired NIL operations company Basepath, and “The best of Basepath’s products will be incorporated into Teamworks’ suite of products, including General Manager, Influencer, and Wallet.” Teamworks Founder/CEO Zach Maurides: “Conferences and Athletic Departments are quickly transforming their operations and hiring new roles to make roster and compensation decisions they’ve never had to make. The union of Teamworks and Basepath means they'll have an enterprise-grade platform, developed by the most trusted names in NIL tech, to help them confidently build their best team and manage payments. […] Often, technology is a market disruptor. But in the case of collegiate athletics today, ever-changing legislation has been the driver. Technology has the opportunity to be a stabilizing force. We believe we have a responsibility to help our industry mature, inject a degree of certainty, and arm people with the technology that helps them serve the student-athlete.” Basepath Co-Founder/CEO Thomas Thomas Jr.: “Athletic Departments have to evolve quickly – but the technology must innovate even faster to stay ahead of the curve. By joining Teamworks, we’re positioned to build category-defining products to power the next era of collegiate athletics.” (link)

“We did not recruit a single high school player this year. We don’t have great facilities; what we sell is the relationship aspect. Transfers understand that more. They don’t care if there are good bleachers or about school size. They just want to be loved and play in a system where the coach is being transparent.” That’s Bryn Athyn Men’s Basketball HC Sean Westerlund as he has changed his recruiting strategy amidst the prevalence of transfers, changing rules and frustration in losing out on high school recruits. D3hoops.com’s Ryan Scott gets more from Westerlund who has focused on student-athletes transferring in as sophomores and juniors to build his program. Chatham Women’s Basketball HC David Saur has also leaned heavily on the portal with 16 of his 23 student-athletes beginning their collegiate careers elsewhere. Saur: “Transfers are our niche at Chatham – for the school in general. The academic programs, opportunities in health sciences, the ability to transfer in up to 95 credits, the school is set up for this. It is playing to our strengths. […] We take up about half the MBA program this year with women’s basketball. Most of our grad programs are online, so they can work full time jobs, if they want to, and have time to play basketball.” Saur’s challenge in recruiting DII transfers who wanted a larger role or proven DIII players has been getting the team to mesh and find and fill their role. “This is where we want to be. We want to win games in the tournament. We still have to work hard to get recruits in here, so we’re going to bring players in however we can. I think transfers will continue to be a big part of what we do going forward.” (link)
