#7: More from ODAC Commissioner Brad Bankston on the District 2 Sports Podcast as he touches on the impact of NIL in DIII: “At the Division III level, the NIL stuff, you're going to start to see that creep in. I think there are going to be people that have collectives, that are creative enough and have the financial means enough to have donors that want to do that. I hope, and there's been some discussion at the divisional level and there's nothing formally on the table yet, to have some legislation that prohibits collectives or at our level wouldn't involve that. If you ask the common athletic director, I think in our world they don't want to deal with that. They've got enough on their plate doing what they're doing with 25 sports and a handful of staff that are trying to administratively run an athletic department. I don't know if they want to get in that business.” (link)

#5: Last Saturday’s Football matchup between Case Western Reserve and Wabash saw multiple weather delays over nearly six hours that resulted in a change of venue to make the game happen. After kickoff was delayed due to lightning the Little Giants and Spartans battled through the first half to a 21-21 tie. 75 seconds into the second half, another lightning delay struck, leading both sides to question what was next. With the projected weather patterns, the two sides decided to take the game two miles south to Crawfordsville High School, with players, coaches and fans loading up on team buses to make the unique trip. Wabash ended up with the 38-28 win a quarter-century to the day after the Little Giants used the same approach to finish a game against Wittenberg. (link)
