During last week’s DIII Management Council meeting, the group has asked the Championships Committee “to conduct a comprehensive review of the overlap with the current playing and practice season legislation and the Division III championship date formula. […] The council suggested creating a resource that includes the entirety of each playing season – the traditional segment, the nontraditional segment, and the championships segment. This resource will help inform decisions regarding future championship date formula change requests, as it will allow the Championships Committee to view the total impact on campus as it relates to concurrent sport seasons.” On key issues, a working group is working to update the “Guide to Strategic Athletics Communication on Campus recommendations, a new Management Council Playing Rules Subcommittee has been created, and discussions around permitting gambling on professional sports have continued with no consensus. Also of note, the council will evaluate “potential steps the governance structure can take to help reduce the administrative burden for the Division III membership” and acknowledge “that its priorities may evolve depending on current events that affect the intercollegiate athletics and higher education landscape.” Full report.

More from United East Commissioner Stephanie Dutton’s Small College Conversation as she dives into leading on its unique path, which she notes “doesn’t come without criticism,” both internally and externally. “You have to be willing to try something. So not only trying to get that buy-in of hang with me, we're going to try this, we're going to evaluate it, and if it doesn't work, we'll adapt, or if the landscape changes, we'll adapt again, but also when you're trying to chart a new course or really break, whether it be a conventional bylaw or just conventional thinking, you have to have a little bit of patience.” Asked how she lays out a new vision, Dutton: “We are far too diverse of a division geographically, demographically, competitively, to think that what is good for the United East is good for everybody, but I think it's more so keeping an eye on concepts that allow the division to evolve more so than benefit my conference specifically and give us space to adapt. That's really how I approach certain concepts or ideas and share that with others of, ‘Hey, I don't know if this is good entirely for the United East, but is this good for the evolution of where we're headed as a division as college athletics in general?’ I think that's how you have to frame it, think about it, and even present it to others to sometimes get people to step outside themselves because even if it's not potentially great for you and your members, is it of benefit to a larger segment of the population? It's hard to step outside ourselves. We work in silos, and we work with our members or at our institutions, and we solely focus in almost a hyper-focused way on our own problems, but thinking about the bigger picture, that 10,000-foot view is so important as you try to make changes. You also can't do too much too fast.” Full conversation on BOSCA. (link)

Sport Sponsorship…

+ Kean will add Women’s Flag Football as its 24th varsity sport. The Cougars will compete this spring as a club program before moving to varsity in spring 2026. President Lamont Repollet: “We are committed to creating more athletic opportunities for our female students while enhancing our programs overall.

The House Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade has scheduled a hearing on NIL for March 4, according to a notice sent by Congressman Gus Bilirakis (R-FL), who chairs the subcommittee. Sportico’s Daniel Libit notes the hearing, which is titled “Moving the Goalposts: How NIL is Reshaping College Athletics,” will be the first such public session since the GOP gained full control of the House, Senate and White House. Also: “Bilirakis’ notice suggests next Tuesday’s event will be a topical, rather than legislative, hearing, meaning that it is intended to gather input on a matter as opposed to advance a specific bill for markup. Witnesses will be announced later, and a spokesperson for Bilirakis did not respond to a request for comment. … Given the issue’s complex history, the array of conflicting factors at play and the GOP’s narrow House majority, passing any substantive college sports legislation in 2025 seems difficult at best.” (link)

AD Erin Quinn: “Coach Brown has been the architect of a men's basketball program that competes at the highest level of Division III while bringing some thrilling moments to Pepin Gymnasium over his career. He has also been a committed administrator in the department serving athletics and the College with the grace and humility he brought to the sidelines as a coach.” (link)
