Texas A&M-Texarkana will vault its varsity sports sponsorship to 14 with the additions of Esports, Competitive Cheer and Dance in 2024-25. AD Michael Galvan: “Adding these new sports makes Texas A&M University-Texarkana more desirable to a large group of students who might not otherwise have considered us. We offer a world-class education at a very affordable price, but to participate in varsity esports or competitive cheer and dance they would have to have looked elsewhere. That’s no longer the case.” (link)

A federal NIL bill is being held up by a debate over the NCAA’s definition of amateurism, according to Front Office Sports’ Amanda Christovich, who is told by an aide for one Democratic senator: “If this was just about NIL, you would have a bill.” Several GOP senators, including Ted Cruz (TX) and Tommy Tuberville (AL) have included language in their proposals that could prohibit schools from sharing revenue with student-athletes. They also contend student-athletes do not want to be employees. Meanwhile, several Democratic lawmakers, including Cory Booker (NJ), Chris Murphy (CT) and Richard Blumenthal (CT) oppose such language. Christovich adds: A federal agency overseeing NIL is ‘not going to fly with most Republicans,’ one of the aides said. But an antitrust exemption likely wouldn’t fly with most Democrats, as it would be another method the NCAA could use to stamp out legal attempts at getting athletes employment rights. There isn’t even bipartisan agreement that Congress should act. The Democratic aide suggested that it’s unclear to them whether there’s enough of a problem with NIL right now for Congress to step in.” (link)

Undergraduate enrollment climbed by 2.1% this fall, its first total increase since 2020, according to data from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, which also shows that enrollment increases for Black, Latino and Asian students were by 2.2%, 4.4% and 4%, respectively. The bad news, however, is that freshman enrollment declined by 3.6%, nearly wiping out last year’s gain of 4.6% and leaving first-year enrollment less than a percentage point higher than it was in fall 2021. The declines were most pronounced for white students and at four-year institutions with lower acceptance rates, reversing years of growth trends for the most selective higher ed institutions. The report also indicates that female enrollment increased by 1.2% while male enrollment experienced a 2.2% uptick. (link)
