I highly recommend making D1.relocation one of your first calls." - Jake Kirkendall, Director of Football Operations at Charlotte

Key Industry News

UC San Diego will move from the Big West to the WCC per CBS’ Jon Rothstein, who notes the Tritons are finalizing the details to make the move in 2027-28. (link)

NCAA Research and Teamworks are collaborating via a three-year agreement on survey distribution as part of the Association’s continuous effort to elevate student-athlete voices and positively impact the personal, academic and athletic development of student-athletes. Division I schools will be asked to participate in the surveys four to six times per year with each capped at 20 questions and designed to take three-to-five minutes to complete. Consisting of questions about topics related to the student-athlete experience, the voluntary surveys will be generated by the research staff or at the behest of NCAA committees, the Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee or national office leadership and will be distributed only to student-athletes at schools that opt in to participate in each study. Student-athletes' names will not be included in survey responses and each survey will need approval from the NCAA Research Review Board before it is distributed. The first survey is expected to launch Sept. 30 and include questions about performance technology use and other well-being items. (link)

We offer our deepest condolences to those throughout the industry impacted by the passing of former Washington State/Iowa/USC Men’s Basketball HC, Nike executive & overall college athletics ambassador George Raveling. (link)
