Tiffin AD Allen has resigned after 15 years leading the Dragons. Allen: "I want to thank Tiffin University and its Athletic Department, coaches, and staff for an amazing 32 years. I come from a generation that was asked to leave things better than when we got there, and I think I did that. ... It is truly humbling that 17 years ago we weren't even thinking about national championships and now, if that isn't the end result, there is a feeling of disappointment.

Sportico’s McCann posits that federal legislation aimed at addressing the myriad issues facing college sports “face several hurdles that might prove insurmountable. For starters, nothing is stopping the NCAA and its members from adopting new rules and enforcement mechanisms to regulate NIL, employment, collectives, agents and related topics. Stated differently, Congress isn’t needed to accomplish what the NCAA wants. … The NCAA and its members are worried about antitrust scrutiny of rules that limit economic opportunities for college athletes. But what the NCAA regards as a worry, others regard as a relief. Antitrust law is designed to ensure that competing businesses, including colleges, compete. But some restrictions on competition might prove reasonable before a court.” Further: “More flexible NCAA restrictions would likely satisfy antitrust scrutiny; most antitrust lawsuits fail because courts are usually deferential to restrictions so long as they are not blanket prohibitions. If the NCAA is unwilling to defend new restrictions from antitrust scrutiny, it invites questions about the lawfulness of those restrictions. … The NCAA is no longer in control of college athlete compensation. It will soon discover Congress isn’t in control, either.” More from McCann. (link)

+ After previously announcing the phase out of two dozen faculty positions, St. Cloud State will now cut 100 more faculty over the next half decade and freeze fall enrollment on 70 programs and minors, as it braces for a $24.5M deficit in Fall 2024. (link)

+ The college enrollment rate for recent U.S. high-school graduates aged 16 to 24 declined to 62% last year from 66.2% in 2019, according to the latest Labor Department data, which also shows the rate topped out at 70.1% in 2009. The Wall Street Journal’s Torry notes high-school graduates are being “diverted from college campuses by brighter prospects for blue-collar jobs in a historically strong labor market for less-educated workers. Job growth at restaurants, theme parks and other parts of the leisure and hospitality sector…has increased more than twice as fast as job gains overall in the past year. There also remains a high number of job openings in construction, manufacturing and warehousing, fields that often require additional training, but not college degrees.” Overall, federal data indicates college enrollment has fallen by about 15% in the last decade.
