NCAA Senior Vice President of Championships Lynda Tealer joins Connect’s Stephanie Garcia Cichosz to talk about her new role overseeing 84 championships, areas for improvement, continuing to focus on the student-athlete experience but broadening the scope to include coaches and their families, the future of championship selection and more. On broadening the scope for coaches and their families, Tealer explains they may only have one shot at a championship. “This might be a one-shot deal. Or it might be this year we had the first woman to lead a championship team in volleyball, so let's make sure that those coaches have an excellent experience as well as their student-athletes. … Knowing that this coaching is a lifestyle, and it's not just the coach that's involved in that, it's also their families. So, let's make sure we include families and celebrate them and allow them to really have that time with the coach and their family.” The NCAA will also focus on collecting feedback for finding the right cadence for championship selection, as Tealer notes some prefer the two-year process, because the data is more fresh, while others prefer four years for the lead time. “Perhaps the answer is it’s not the same for every sport. That would be different, but it’s certainly worth talking about.” (link)

Wisconsin (DI) Football student-athlete Nyzier Fourqurean is suing the NCAA after his waiver request for another season of eligibility was denied today, claiming his time playing at Grand Valley State (DII) should not count towards his eligibility. From the brief: “Here, Plaintiff is facing the same fate as Pavia. The fact that one played in junior college and the other in Division II is a distinction without a difference as it relates to the economic impact of limiting the athlete’s eligibility in Division I. Both would be deprived of not only athletic participation in Division I but also the related economic opportunities afforded to Division I athletes through NIL Compensation and revenue sharing opportunities if the bylaws control.” A hearing on Fourqurean’s motion for a temporary restraining order has been set for February 4.

Williams AD Lisa Melendy joins D3.ticker as the latest AD in Residence to discuss the Eph’s recent staff reorganization, facility projects and more. As part of the reorg, Williams transitioned to a sport supervisor model, which “has enabled more direct communication between our coaches and the administration, strengthening our presence at team events and activities. In the past, as athletic director, I had 38 direct reports, which made it challenging to offer the support and attention required for effective day-to-day management and long-term planning. With the new structure, I have more bandwidth to reflect strategically on next steps, allowing for clearer communication about our department’s direction. Additionally, by separating the compliance and ADID roles, we’ve enhanced our ability to focus on education in both areas while fostering more comprehensive planning and the introduction of forward-thinking initiatives.” Construction on the new Multipurpose Recreation Center is on track, with the facility set to open January 2026 and impact Baseball, Softball, Tennis and Track. On lessons learned from this project: “This process has taught us that focusing on the collective needs of our entire department, rather than catering to the interests of one group, fosters a collaborative spirit. It has brought together department members, colleagues, and students with a shared vision, and we’re proud not only of the final product but also of the respectful and thoughtful process that brought it to life.” More.
