"D1.relocation was great from the beginning of the process through the end of the process in terms of communication and helping me set up my move. Their ongoing support was very helpful to ensure it was a smooth process in light of how challenging transitions can be." - Kimya Massey, Director of Athletics at the University of San Diego

Athletics Admin consultant KC Smurthwaite reiterates his position that more schools will drop down from DI to DIII because “adding a $20M revenue-sharing bill to an athletic department’s budget is no small matter. Schools don’t have to contribute the full amount – but even a modest $2.5M payout has to come from somewhere. Combine that with the loss of walk-ons, and you’re facing a double whammy. Gone are the tuition, housing, and fees that walk-ons provided.” One administrator tells Smurthwaite they expect 50 fewer student-athletes next year after opting in. “We were always encouraged by the president’s office to bring on walk-ons—they filled dorms and paid tuition and fees.” That school estimates a loss of $19K per walk-on which, when multiplied by 50, means that school is taking a $1M hit. Meanwhile, an enrollment cliff is looming. As such, Smurthwaite observes that “college leaders and athletics administrators are now asking the hard questions: Who are we? What do we want to be? What are we trying to accomplish here? Those are valuable conversations—and necessary for institutional alignment. However, these factors also lead to some tough decisions, especially in smaller public and private schools.” (link)

The Trump administration is now threatening to revoke Harvard’s ability to enroll international students, a cohort that makes up at least 21% of the school’s student-athletes, according to Sportico’s Daniel Libit, Lev Akabas and Eben Novy-Williams. Specifically, the Department of Homeland Security announced Wednesday that it would cancel two federal grants to Harvard and demanded “detailed records” on what it described without specifics as “illegal and violent activities” by Harvard’s foreign student visa holders. Failure to comply, the department said, would result in the school losing a government-issued certification that allows it to enroll international students. Libit, et al. note that of the Crimson’s 919 student-athletes listed on public athletic rosters, 196 have hometowns outside the U.S. More than 50% of the athletes on the current women’s soccer, women’s golf and men’s heavyweight rowing squads are international. How many of those foreign athletes are on international visas and how many are U.S. citizens or green card holders is unclear. (link)
