#8: College Sports Communicators (formerly the College Sports Information Directors of America) introduced a new organizational logo and Academic All-American program brand marks as part of its multi-stage rebranding process. The modernized logo reflects CSC’s brand story of unity and inclusivity, featuring six quarter circles indicating that all parts of the organization— NCAA Divisions I, II, III, NAIA, Canadian institutions and two-year campuses and conferences— are “stronger together.” The marks were developed in collaboration with Joe Basack & Co. CSC President/Chicago State (DI) Deputy AD Poole: “We were purposeful in choosing the design and colors to signify our growth and as a bridge from the past to the future. … All these important changes are indicative of an association on the move. In addition to our rebrand and new marks, our main focus remains on providing our members with expanded professional development, member benefits and leadership and networking opportunities as we continue to position CSC as a leader in collegiate athletics.” (link)

#3: MIAA Commissioner Racy chats with ESPN Tri-Cities on a number of topics. On rumblings Lincoln (MO) is looking to change conferences, Racy notes the institution is looking for a more flexible schedule to face more HBCU opponents as it evaluates its institutional fit and mission. Should Lincoln or another member exit, Racy says the conference has a list of institutions that have reached out in the last six months who would formally petition to join the league when the MIAA is ready for new member applications. Given Racy’s frustrations with the regionalization model especially as it pertains to FB, he thinks there’s momentum to create early season non-conference games via scheduling alliances to elevate the status of the league. Lots more. (link)
