NCAA EVP of Regulatory Affairs Stan Wilcox will retire on August 1 after nearly seven years with the national office. President Charlie Baker: “Stan told me shortly after I arrived at the NCAA that he would be retiring at the end of 2023. Toward the end of the year, he and I agreed that there was much to do, and it would be great if he could stay with us for a bit longer, which I really appreciated. As a result, he will be wrapping up a 40-year career as a student-athlete who played in a March Madness Final Four; an administrator and manager who served at the school, conference and NCAA level; and one of only three Black athletic directors to win an FBS national football championship. (Go Seminoles!) His relationships throughout the college and professional ranks and his ability to see issues from a variety of points of view have made him an invaluable leader and teacher during his time with the NCAA. I especially appreciated his insights and advice during this past year, which has involved more change in Division I college sports than any other in recent memory.” (link)

The Empire 8 announces it has sponsored legislation for the 2026 NCAA Convention to charge student-athletes with a season of eligibility once they compete during the traditional season, rather than practice. Executive Director Chuck Mitrano: “The Division III President’s Council, Management Council and the Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement all supported this proposal when we presented it at the 2022 Convention, however it was tabled on the floor. Since that time, we have seen unprecedented evolution of the NCAA and college athletics with policies that support student-athlete flexibility, voice, and rights. Student-athletes are more than capable of making the decision that is best for their unique needs and should have the right to act accordingly to maximize their college experience the same as the general student. In that same time span, higher education has faced unprecedented enrollment, retention, and financial challenges. As anyone in higher education will tell you, this is not 2004 anymore (the year the current eligibility policy was adopted). Division III must evolve to serve the best interest of the modern-day student-athlete and institution rather than ignore the signs that are evident on a daily basis. We hope the membership will enthusiastically support this appropriate measure for the student-athlete experience.” (link); D3football.com adds that this proposal does not aim to do away with the medical hardship waiver; rather, “What it would do, if adopted, is remove the so-called grayshirt that is used in some areas, where student-athletes practice up until Game 1.” (link)

Beloit has rolled out its new-look Buccaneer brand with the help of design firm Hoodzpah.
