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

The NCAA and defendant conferences have filed their reply in support of roster limit changes in which they argue: “All student-athletes on a roster during the current season (the 2024-25 Academic Year) who were or would have been removed from a roster because of the implementation of roster limits will not count against any school’s roster for the duration of their eligibility; all newly incoming student-athletes who were assured of a roster spot by a Member Institution, and then told they no longer had a roster spot because of the implementation of roster limits, will not count against any school’s roster for the duration of their eligibility; schools participating in the Pool structure will be required to prepare lists of the student-athletes falling in these two groups, called ‘Designated Student-Athletes,’ in good faith with copies of the lists going to Class Counsel; and Designated Student-Athletes will not count against roster limits wherever they go, e.g. if they transfer to another Member Institution; and Designated Student-Athletes will always have the opportunity to return to the school that had them on a roster, or assured them of a roster spot, regardless of NCAA rules. These features ensure that no class members ‘will be harmed’ by the implementation of the settlement’s roster limits provisions…because the class members identified by the Court are in the same position as prior to the settlement’s announcement.” Full response.

U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) mentioned AFCA Executive Director Craig Bohl as a potential addition to the presidential commission on college sports, and Bohl tells CBS’ John Talty and Richard Johnson: "The only thing that I can say is that the AFCA, we've had significant conversations with what I believe are the stakeholders in college football and our perspective and my perspective is that we listen to all the coaches and we certainly have some insight that I think is unique. But as far as the formulation of the commission, I'm not aware that anything has been set in stone. I've had dialogue, but there's not been anybody from that commission to say, 'Hey Craig, we want you on here.' I've had a dialogue. I just don't know where it's all at. … I know [President Trump] is a big college football fan. I do know he cares, and I do know that Coach Saban cares. I think it's imperative that each lane, whether it's a commissioner, whether it's college presidents, whether it's coaches or student athletes or some members of Congress, that everybody has an opportunity to engage and clarify and offer their perspective on a pathway forward." Tuberville believes the key to the commission is not to overcrowd it, though he acknowledges that even though his role with the commission is informal, he’s fielded a lot of interest and adds: "I think you get people involved who are looking at it every day. Not just some weekend person. We're going to need player involvement, men and women. One thing that President Trump says on my watch is: 'We're not losing women's sports, we're not losing Title IX.'" As far as what the commission should seek to accomplish, Tuberville notes there are several areas that could be addressed, but “the one thing we have to do – and I told the president this – the one thing we can do is we can get all 50 states doing the same thing."

Front Office Sports’ Amanda Christovich finds that the “most striking part of [Deloitte’s NIL Go] memo is the part that says the clearinghouse won't block players' NIL deals. If a deal is flagged by the clearinghouse as pay-for-play, the athlete can still accept it… just with the understanding there's a risk of eligibility concerns.” Kennyhertz Perry attorney Mit Winter responds: “A good point made here by Amanda. If an athlete deal with an associated entity isn’t cleared by Deloitte the athlete can still move forward with the deal. And it’s then up to schools/NCAA/the new enforcement entity to say they’re ineligible. Which is when lawsuits will start.” Prominent sports attorney Tom Mars adds: “Since almost every NIL contract has a confidentiality clause for competitive reasons, I wonder how anyone thinks they can induce an athlete to breach their contract so that Deloitte can review it without exposing themselves to a lawsuit for tortious interference with a contract.” To which Winter replies: “Good question. If a confidentiality clause in a college athlete’s NIL agreement doesn’t provide an exception for the athlete to disclose it to a school or the enforcement entity, the athlete will be required to breach the contract.” (link, link, link)
