"D1.relocation was able to provide resources from realtors, mortgage companies and even a moving company for not only myself but numerous new Charlotte Football Staff members. I highly recommend making D1.relocation one of your first calls." - Jake Kirkendall, Director of Football Operations at Charlotte |

U.S. Congressman Russell Fry (R-SC) joins the Next Up with Adam Breneman podcast to advocate for the SCORE Act and says the “feedback has largely been good. And I think what we’ve done is we didn’t craft this out of nowhere. We had these thoughtful listening sessions where we listened to the players, we listened to the coaches and the families and the schools, and put this product together. And so, when you’re talking about it, everyone has probably components that they might want to tweak or adjust. And certainly as this bill progresses through, those are going to be ongoing. But everyone also recognizes the really big impact that college sports has and that we have to fix this. We have an obligation to do it now. It’s on an unsustainable path. Everyone understands that. But the components of the bill, when you talk about them individually with people, they love it.” Fry also remarks that “there are some in Congress that want the employee model. But they’re not listening to the people who have testified. They’re not listening to the college athletes themselves. And I think a lot of people understand that that’s a non-starter for many in Congress. But there are certain people that are pushing that. Most of the — I would say the beef – that I’ve heard about it to the extent that there is any is, ‘Hey, let’s tweak this over here. Let’s adjust this over here. We think that could be a better way.’ And, so you know, there really is an esprit de corps, if you will, of people who want to do the right thing. So there’s some really honest discussions that are taking place right now on what that looks like but we all want to fix this problem.” Full podcast. (link)
More from U.S. Congressman Russell Fry (R-SC) on the Next Up with Adam Breneman podcast as he advocates for implementation of the SCORE Act. An employment model, Fry contends, also means that for “state budgets that have workers’ compensation, if an athlete gets hurt, which inherently they do, state budgets are now dramatically impacted by the rising cost of workers’ compensation fees and and things that are paid out. So, you know, for us, I think the common sense approach is students don’t want this, coaches don’t want this, schools and conferences, nobody really wants this except a small minority of people. Let’s get it out. It doesn’t need to happen that way. People want to enjoy their college experience and not be considered an employee where presumably they could be fired if they were injured.” Fry on the NCAA: “They seem to be wanting to right the wrongs of the past. They want to get back to a governing style that works for the players, that works for the coaches and the schools. … We want that. We think that’s healthy overall for college athletics, but we also want to make sure that we’re checking their authority, too.” (link)
Take a tour with Men’s Basketball HC Shaheen Holloway through Seton Hall’s new hoops performance center. Not sure we’ve seen a steam room and sauna, plus a jacuzzi, in a facility like this. Tons more. (link)
