Saint Vincent Men’s Basketball student-athlete Michael Iuzzolino is suing the NCAA as he seeks to compete in the 2025-26 season. Iuzzolino claims he should have another season of eligibility, voiding his 2021-22 season at Bryant (DI), after the NCAA ruled him ineligible for the upcoming season. “Mr. Iuzzolino relied on his then-coach's good-faith assurances that Mr. Iuzzolino's limited participation in the 2021-22 season at Bryant would not count against his four years of NCAA eligibility. In fact, Mr. Iuzzolino played only sparingly during that season-23 minutes across 12 games (of Bryant's 32-game slate) and did so only because he was told by his coach that this very limited participation in this second COVID-impacted season would not deprive him of a season of eligibility in the future. […] The NCAA, however, has improperly ruled Mr. Iuzzolino ineligible. It has wrongly applied its own rules in bad faith to count his brief and limited participation during the COVID-impacted 2021-22 season as a full ‘season of competition,’ despite Mr. Iuzzolino's good-faith reliance upon his then-coach's assurances to the contrary.” Of note, one of Iuzzolino’s attorneys is Winston & Strawn’s Jeffrey Kessler.

Wisconsin-Superior AD Nick Bursik joins the Eye of the Swarm to dive into facility projects for the Yellowjackets and their impact. The Yellowjackets have begun work on a state-of-the-art throws facility on the site of its former baseball field ahead of hosting this year’s UMAC Outdoor Track & Field Championships. This comes on the heels of the announcement of new Baseball and Softball fields on-campus, which will create another set of high-level facilities in Northern Wisconsin, as Bursik states: “What could that do to our region to help grow youth opportunities, grow some tourism in our area and our region? Those are things that are ultimately important to us is being a good community partner as an institution, but important to the state in why they see additional value in investing in our project.” With Superior Choice Credit Union Stadium now online, Bursik notes there is more interaction than ever between teams, which will only increase as all sports except golf will compete on campus. On the recruiting impact of that facility: “We have honestly, truly one of the nicest regional competitive soccer facilities and tracks in the area and I think that speaks volumes. […] I think it makes those recruiting pitches, those recruiting sells easier for our coaches, while also being able to attract higher caliber athletes that that is the expectation. They’re going to come compete here, train here, they need those spaces. So I really think the benefits are there and hopefully we’re going to start to see higher caliber athletes come in and really see that they can call this place home.” (link - episode, link - throws)

A task force from the Congressional Black Caucus is in negotiations with its Republican colleagues to amend portions of the SCORE Act, some of which have already been agreed to, according to Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger. Representative Terri Sewell (D-AL), a member of the caucus, revealed that the group has reached an agreement on several changes to the legislation, adding that while “no piece of legislation is perfect, we know that something has to be done.” However, “it’s important that all views are taken into account when you’re talking about legislation that has an impact on such a big swath of peoples’ lives.” Specifically, Sewell says GOP members have agreed to changes with two of the caucus’ four areas of concern, including extending the bill’s medical provision that would require schools to provide five years of post-graduate healthcare rather than three and increasing athlete representation on NCAA governance committees from 25% to 35%. Dellenger: “The CBC and Republicans remain in negotiations, Sewell suggested, over the caucus’ desire to change the Act’s overseeing and enforcement entity from state attorneys generals to the Federal Trade Commission. Attorneys general enforcing the act is ‘problematic,’ she said, implying that their in-state bias serves as a conflict of interest.” (link)

Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger adds context to reports of the potential privatization of the FCS Playoffs via an investment from Sequence Equity: “For one, according to NCAA Rule 31.2.1.1, all NCAA members are required to participate, if selected, in the NCAA championship or in no postseason at all. The decision to eliminate the FCS playoff would require approval from its sport-specific committee, the FCS Oversight, followed by approval from the new NCAA Administrative Committee, and then, after that, the Division I Board of Directors. However, there is another hurdle: moving the FCS playoffs out from under the NCAA umbrella may come with consequences, as it may impact the NCAA’s $115 million media rights package with ESPN — a deal that incorporates 40 other sport championships. What happens now? It remains to be seen, but FCS officials are expected to continue talks over the coming weeks with the earliest implementation date of 2027. (link)

What’s a Chief AI Officer? This morning’s CRO.ticker has insights on that question from Washington Post Chief AI Officer Sam Han, including this nugget: “The best benefit of having that is no more meetings to decide what rules [to set as the basis for the paywall]. Thanksgiving sale’s coming up, how should we change the paywall rules to accommodate more subscriptions during the sales price? We will have meetings after meetings after meetings, and then the executive with the largest voice will win, right? That’s all gone now. It’s all driven by machine learning.” There’s also key insights on Ryder Cup economics, Major League Baseball end-of-season attendance & revenue data, plus lots more. (link)
