"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

According to a filing made Wednesday, House attorneys have agreed that schools will be permitted to grandfather in a range of athletes, according to Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger, who notes those athletes include: (1) those currently on a roster; (2) those athletes who have already been cut this year; and (3) those high school recruits who enrolled at a school after committing to a roster position only to see it eliminated.” Dellenger adds that, as he reported last week, the revision is “not mandatory but is at each school’s discretion — a move that is seen as a compromise from the power leagues to the judge’s wishes.” As part of the settlement revision, schools would be “expected to track their protected/grandfathered-in roster spots with a rolling list of exceptions. Those protected athletes would presumably roll off the exception list as their eligibility expires. These exceptions would permit a school to exceed roster limits tied to the settlement.” Meanwhile, U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken said she would allow objectors to file responses to the revision by May 13. The plaintiffs and the NCAA would then have three days to respond. (link)

A new Division I governance model is being shared with executives, according to Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger, who explains the “ proposed model streamlines NCAA committees – shrinks them, eliminates some, etc. - but, most notably, grants the four power conferences 51% & as much as 65% weighted voting privileges.” (link)

Front Office Sports’ Amanda Christovich examines what President Trump’s college sports commission could accomplish and points out it remains unclear whether the NCAA’s wishes could be achieved via an executive order. A congressional aide tells Christovich that an EO may not be the appropriate mechanism to satisfy the NCAA’s requests. Instead, the aide notes they may have to be addressed through federal legislation. Christovich: “If not, more lawsuits could strike them down. (Several of Trump’s executive orders have been met with legal challenges, including one ending collective bargaining for federal workers and one addressing birthright citizenship.) A lobbyist, meanwhile, suggests that an EO more likely could be used to “establish the commission itself, which would then author a report and suggest guidelines for the White House to follow on college sports policy. Congressional Republicans would feel inclined to follow the recommendations of this commission in any potential legislation. … A comparable situation: Trump’s executive order last week establishing the ‘Religious Liberty Commission.’” (link)

Former Alabama Football HC Nick Saban and Texas Tech University System Board of Trustees Chair/Double Eagle Energy Holdings CEO Cody Campbell will help lead President Donald Trump’s presidential commission on college athletics, per Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger. (link); The Athletic’s Ralph Russo cites a source who says Trump is expected to be “very engaged” with the commission. Former LEAD1 CEO Tom McMillen also weighs in: “I give President Trump a lot of credit. This is a time to bring the best minds in college sports together, in higher education, and figure a model out. He’s always had a big interest in sports. It really fits his kind of whole M.O.” McMillen adds that a commission on college sports could help lead to long-term reform without interrupting what is already in motion. “Not gonna be overnight, but it could be very, very symbolic and very significant for higher ed and college sports, and for America.” (link)
