"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

More from NCAA President Charlie Baker at the ACC spring meetings on President Donald Trump’s college sports commission: "I think the fact that there's an interest on the executive side on this, I think it speaks to the fact that everybody is paying a lot of attention right now to what's going on in college sports. I'm up for anything that can help us get somewhere." Commissioner Jim Phillips remarked on ACC Network that “I think [Congress] can help us. I really do. We have been very bold in the desire for a national standard when it comes to name, image and likeness. We need to make sure that we have something that comes out of Washington that connects all 50 of the states because we've had a piecemeal project and it's really undermined college sports. It's been a race to the bottom. So that's one. Two is we need some legal protection. We cannot sustain one legal case after another legal case after another legal case. A reaffirmation that these are student-athletes. Those three things to me will be very important to see if that can come out of the commission." When asked whether he felt the creation of a commission would enhance the NCAA's chances at legislative relief, Baker replied: “I don't have a crystal ball on that one. I don't know. I do think, though, that it's quite clear at this point that there are a lot of people interested in college sports, and we do need some help at some point to create some clarity around some of these issues in Washington. Creating clarity one lawsuit at a time is just a really bad way to try to move forward." (link)

House settlement plaintiffs’ attorney Steve Berman joins Tulane Sports Law Director Gabe Feldman to discuss the revised House settlement and explains that allowing designated student-athletes to be grandfathered in and not count against roster limits for the duration of their eligibility was done because “we just wanted to make sure that we went overboard to satisfy the judge. But you got it right that once you’re back you can’t be eliminated the following year because of the roster limit. … Now, let’s be clear though. You still can be cut. It just can’t be because you’re over the roster limit.”  Berman characterizes the plaintiffs’ current relationship with the NCAA as something similar to “frenemies” and adds: “I will say that several times we told the NCAA to go pound sand. We were done if they didn’t do something that we wanted. And they came back, so it got a little contentious.” Regarding the objectors’ role in the process of drafting the revision, Berman explains that “we conferred with the objectors, the mediator conferred with the objectors, the NCAA conferred with objectors. I can't go into details, but I will say that the objectors' demands were unreasonable, without any legal or factual foundation. And so I don't think the judge is going to buy into their proposal.” Asked what his level of confidence is that the settlement will be approved with the latest revision, Berman says: “I have 95% confidence.” Why the 5% of doubt? “Because you just can’t ever know what a judge is going to do 100%, but I think we’ve more than satisfied what the judge wanted. I think the judge will put this in context of the strength of these roster claims because that’s one of the things that you’re supposed to be doing. Since she approved that there can be roster limits, I think there’s just nothing that’s going to trouble her.” Regarding Judge Claudia Wilken’s dissection of certain elements of the proposal, Berman explains: “I think she’s being very careful to create a record on appeal, that she went overboard on every single issue.” In the likely event there is an appeal, the damages portion of the settlement will be stayed, but the revenue-sharing component will not, meaning athletic departments can implement the new model.
