Southwestern and Trinity (TX) will exit the SCAC for the SAA, bringing the membership to 10 institutions in 2025-26. Additionally, the Pirates FB program will begin competing as a SAA affiliate this fall. (link); TU President Beasley: “The decision to join the SAA comes on the heels of the University’s recent Carnegie reclassification as a National Liberal Arts Institution. I view college athletics as one of the significant hallmarks of a residential liberal arts education, as student-athletes and their classmates alike gather inside and outside of the classroom to take on new challenges and support each other.” (link); Southwestern President Skandera Trombley: “Being the newest member of the SAA presents a great opportunity for our student-athletes. The national liberal arts institutions playing in the SAA are great competitors and this is the appropriate time to make a change that will have our students in a conference that spans states across the South.” (link); Where does that leave SCAC FB? Per the league: “We plan to have 6 football teams by no later than 2026 with an NCAA AQ. SCAC football returns in 2024 with Austin, Centenary, Lyon (affiliate) & McMurry. We are hopeful that Schreiner will be up & running by 2025 and Texas Lutheran will transition from the ASC no later than 2026.” (link)

Sticking on the realignment front, Dave Campbell’s Texas Football’s Hogue ponders the future of the ASC’s FB bid with four projected FB playing members come 2026 with the departures of multiple schools. Multiple sources point to the possibility of scheduling alliances or FB mergers with the likes of the SAA, SCAC or SCIAC as a potential solution, but the heavyweight powers Mary Hardin-Baylor and Hardin-Simmons could give other leagues pause. One conference coach has a positive outlook, stating: “We’ve always been a conference that has helped other conferences out, and I think there’s going to be some reciprocation. I think some schools will come in and help us remain together until we can get our conference built back up.” (link)

Skidmore’s Tennis programs are getting a new facility with eight outdoor lighted courts, four indoor courts and new locker room and meeting rooms. The McCaffery-Wagman Tennis and Wellness Center will also feature a 10K square-foot fitness center, while space in the Williamson Sports Center will be repurposed for a training facility for varsity athletics. AVP for Student Affairs and AD Cummings-Danson: “This is a long-awaited project that will support everyone in the Skidmore community. We are committed to a facility that is welcoming and accessible to all. Diversity, equity, inclusion, and sustainability are the guiding principles of this project.” (link)

Wisconsin-Stout will grow its department to 20 with the addition of MSOC in 2024-25. And the Blue Devils may not be done, as AD Naatz notes: “We will continue to review our sports module and work with our administration as we look to the future expansion of Blue Devils Athletics.” (link)

AT&T has renewed its corporate champion partnership with the NCAA through 2025, “extending one of the longest-running college sponsorships,” per SBJ’s Smith, who adds: “The AT&T deal goes back to 2007 when it took over the sponsorship from Cingular Wireless, which had been an NCAA sponsor since 2001.” Smith also reports TurboTax is expected to be added as a partner soon. CBS Sports EVP Bogusz: "You probably have heard about headwinds in the advertising community and spending being a little softer. That is not the case for the sports marketplace." (link)

Per a letter from Rosenberg’s attorney: “Despite his successes and achievements on behalf of Linfield University, Coach Rose has been targeted by Athletic Director Garry Killgore, who has treated my client with extreme hostility, retaliation, and harassment.” The attorney’s letter also accuses Killgore of retaliatory conduct against multiple athletics staff and President Davis of “after-the-fact fabrication of a racist justification for firing Mr. Rosenberg” that “is evidence of ‘consciousness of guilt’ over the lack of basis in the decision to fire my client."
