Big Chair Changes…
+ Saint John’s AD Bob Alpers will retire at the end of this academic year. Alpers: “After 43 years, I've finally graduated. Since I arrived in Collegeville as a student in the fall of 1978, SJU has been my home. It has been my honor to work with our unbelievable student-athletes, both as a coach and as an administrator. I would like to thank the monks, colleagues, alumni and coaches who have supported me and our work at SJU.” (link)

Acting President Mary Black: “In this position, Lori will provide the strategic vision and leadership necessary to continue advancing Millikin University's mission and the Department of Athletics. Alongside President-Elect Dean Pribbenow, I have no doubt that she will bring the same exemplary service and passion to this new opportunity that she has brought to Millikin throughout her entire career — one that has spanned nearly four decades and touched nearly every area of campus.” (link)

President Donald Trump has paused reciprocal tariffs for 90 days on more than 75 trading partners who did not retaliate in the hours after the order went into effect. The pause does not apply to China, which has vowed to escalate the trade war. Trump instead ordered duties against China to increase to a total of 125%, effective immediately. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent explains that separate tariffs on imported autos, steel and aluminum will remain in place and planned “sectoral” tariffs on items like lumber and pharmaceuticals are still in the works.

NCAA President Charlie Baker acknowledged that Congress has been slow to act on a college sports bill but noted: “That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. And sometimes interesting things happen. We spent a lot of time talking to people on both sides of the aisle, both branches, and in the privacy of their offices I think there is a path forward here. We’ll see if we can get there.” (link); Baker was also asked whether regulating the NIL market as is outlined in the House settlement could push payments to players back under the table and responds: “Well, I mean, the prediction on that, that’s a big ask. What I would say is right now we have nothing like that. … And we really don’t have any way to gauge or judge exactly what is going on out there – it’s all anecdote and representation, which is not really very helpful if you’re trying to determine what’s really happening.” (link)

Congressional Contributions…
+ U.S. Congresswoman Lisa McClain (R-MI) revealed during yesterday’s House Committee on Education and Workforce subcommittee hearing that she has introduced a bill that would prohibit college athletes from becoming employees of their schools, conferences and associations based on participation in college sports. USA Today’s Steve Berkowitz observes that “this appears to be similar to a bill that the full Education and Workforce Committee passed last June in a straight party-line vote. That bill did not get a House floor vote. McClain is the current House Republican Conference chair, which makes her the GOP's fourth-highest ranking member in the House. As the hearing ended, subcommittee chair Rick Allen (R-GA) said: ‘It's my hope that my committee colleagues will join this effort.’” The bill is titled the “Protecting Student Athletes’ Economic Freedom Act of 2025.” A release from McClain’s office after the hearing included a statement from full committee chair Tim Walberg (R-MI) that endorsed the legislation.

+ U.S. Representative Michael Baumgartner (R-WA) has filed a bill that would create a new association to replace the NCAA, known as the American Collegiate Sports Association (ASCA) and require all NIL money from schools & collectives to be distributed equally to athletes at ASCA schools. Kennyhertz Perry attorney Mit Winter breaks it down, noting the legislation would also “provide college athletes the right to transfer freely, require conferences to be composed of schools in the same time zone, require all athletics revenue to be equally distributed among schools and athletes, and limit coach salaries to 10x of school cost of attendance.” Here’s the full thread, which includes a number of eye openers. (link)
+ Baumgartner (R-WA) joins JohnCanzano.com’s namesake to discuss his Restore College Sports Act to Bring Sanity and Fairness to College Athletics bill and notes Democrats have “not been receptive to the idea of granting blanket antitrust exemption. They’ve been pushing for unionization of college workers and I've taken a little different approach. I'm trying to put Humpty Dumpty back together again and return – what I call restore – college sports to a competitive balance. … I think NIL, with the meat market of unfettered free agency, will be the death of college sports, so I would like us to create a regime where NIL payments are shared equally amongst all college athletes and that would then take away the incentive to transfer just for a bigger payday. It would then limit NIL to true, true market-based activity.” In comparing college sports to pro, Baumgartner supposes LeBron James is worth $500M or more to the NBA, but he doesn’t make $500M a year “because in the name of competitive balance, Congress says, ‘NBA, you can have a salary cap.’ And yet in public universities there’s essentially no salary caps right now. So, what we would like to do is pick some of the elements of how congress treats pro sports and then get college sports back to the way they were, which is fairness, competitive balance.” Baumgartner also says the American Collegiate Sports Association, which would replace the NCAA, would be led by a commissioner appointed by the president and suggests federal funding could be withheld for athletic departments who don’t participate in this model.

More Higher Ed…
+ North Central (MN) names Assoc. Professor of Pastoral Studies Darnell Williams, Sr., as its eighth president. (link)
+ U.S. District Court Judge Angel Kelley ruled in favor of research universities by permanently barring the National Institutes of Health from capping funding for indirect research costs at a 15% rate. Kelley ruled that the NIH had violated federal statute, was “arbitrary and capricious” in creating the cap, adding it would create “the loss of jobs, the suspension of research, including clinical trials and infrastructure projects, and a reduction of teaching staff who are committed to cultivating medical students.” Higher Ed Dive’s Ben Unglesbee adds: “Despite Kelley’s orders barring NIH from carrying out its cap, the agency has already created widespread disruption in the research university world. Institutions from Columbia University to the University of California system have frozen hiring and taken other preemptive budgetary measures to maintain flexibility as they brace for slashed federal funding on several fronts. The NIH cuts would land hard for many. For example, a 15% cap for indirect funding would mean a loss of $121M at the University of California, San Francisco, $136M at Johns Hopkins University, $129M at the University of Pennsylvania and $119M at the University of Michigan.” (link)
