Kean AD Kelly Williams visits with On New Jersey Sports’ Mike Black to discuss his recent trip to Washington, D.C. to visit with U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) as part of the NCAA’s Congressional Engagement Initiative. Williams: “What we wanted to get across from this meeting was to make sure Sen. Booker, as they put together this [College Athletes] Bill of Rights, and they’re in a drafting process, understands the unique aspect that Division III brings to college sports … Letting him know, and letting everyone else know in that meeting, Division III, we have over 400 universities and colleges. We have the most colleges and universities within any division, so although the draft is really geared initially to highlight some of the Division I areas, be it scholarships or NIL deals, we wanted to make sure that our voices were heard from a Division III point of view of some of our unique needs and areas we need to bring to light as this draft is being built. More from Williams including a discussion on the challenges of managing student-athlete mental health. (link)

Gallaudet announces plans to add three new sports in Men’s Volleyball, Women’s STUNT and Women’s Triathlon with competition slated to begin in the 2024-25 school year. In raising the department’s official sport sponsorship count to 17, Men’s Volleyball is actually being reinstated as a program after last playing for two seasons over 2011-13. The athletic department also intends to add Women’s Flag Football as a club team while maintaining recreational programs for Disc Golf, Pickleball and MotionZ. AD Warren Keller: "Gallaudet is always committed to investing our resources to aim for equality in opportunities. We have seeked to give our female students more sport sponsorship for a while. However there have not been offerings in the NCAA Division III level that would have been a viable option for us either in infrastructure or recruiting until now. In addition to multiple female sports, we are excited that there has been strong interest to resume men's volleyball once again." (link)

NCAA Managing Director of Enterprise Risk Management Clint Hangebrauck sits down with Connect/MB Sports’ Matt Banker to discuss all things sports gambling, including the importance of education, monitoring officiating for discrepancies, mitigation efforts to protect student athletes, resources and more. Regarding whether there should be a risk management committee within the NCAA governance structure, Hangebrauck says: “I certainly don’t think that’s a bad idea at all. I actually have a unique reporting line where I do report internally, but I report directly to the Board of Governors for a finance and audit committee. So, that tends to be the committee that focuses a little bit more on risk, but I certainly think it's just more of a prevalent topic that athletic departments to higher ed to us and the work that we do in the NCAA should really make it a priority, absolutely.” Full conversation on Connect.

@1QLeadership Question: How does a coach know when to remove someone from the team?

 

Leanne Ulmer, Head Volleyball Coach at Carthage College, talks about her experiences leading the team for almost 25 years. She discusses working through athletics director changes, leading the team without a full-time assistant coach, deciding when to remove someone from the team, and celebrating other sports on campus while mentoring young coaches throughout the department.

 

• "If you don't wither and die, you'll learn from the experience."

• Anticipating which student-athletes will be leaders

• Being enrollment driven is a lot to manage with a small staff

• Being intentional with developing relationships with other coaches in the department

The Wall Street Journal’s Douglas Belkin profiles the class of graduating college students who began their college careers in isolation due to COVID and are now exiting amid a flurry of mass protests across the country. “College students today are lonelier, less resilient and more disengaged than their predecessors, research shows. The university communities they populate are socially fragmented, diminished and less vibrant. The pandemic bruised the psyche of a generation. The politics seared it.” Columbia junior Eden Yadegar says isolation amplified protests on campus and provided lonely students with a welcoming community inside demonstrations and the encampment on the quad. The divisions, however, remain bitter. Yadegar, who leads an organization supporting Israel, says she walked into a social club in which she had been a member for years, and members “would physically turn away from me. I have lost the majority of my non-Jewish friends over this.” According to Belkin, researchers have found the “isolation and disruption caused by the pandemic, along with the increased reliance on technology that it fostered, has fundamentally changed college life, leaving students less likely to build ties and find communities. SUNY Purchase professor Gari Laguardia, who has taught at the university for 40 years: “How can I put this, it’s duller than before Covid. The kids are less independent than they used to be. They seem to not be able to exercise much agency.” Lots more. (link)
