"D1.relocation was able to provide resources from realtors, mortgage companies and even a moving company for not only myself but numerous new Charlotte Football Staff members. I highly recommend making D1.relocation one of your first calls." - Jake Kirkendall, Director of Football Operations at Charlotte

Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger reports “the 10 non-FBS conferences lobbying to amend the SCORE Act sent Congress a letter in support of its passing. The 10 reached an agreement with power leagues during meetings in Chicago last week over changes in the bill.” From the letter: “Our coalition of ten conferences representing one-third of NCAA Division I, more than 100 universities and over 40K student-athletes write in support of the SCORE Act (H.R. 4312) and its passage in the House. [...] We have consistently supported the key tenets of the SCORE ACT while also seeking important protections for all of Division I. Our coalition is encouraged by the Autonomy Four’s recent commitment to protecting Division I membership standards for all institutions long into the future by requiring a higher threshold to approve future changes. [...] We value the contributions from the student-athletes in the decision-making process, which includes our support for current and recently former student-athletes to have a minimum number of votes on certain intercollegiate athletic associations’ rulemaking bodies.” Full letter.

New Mexico State makes official its hire of Tulsa Deputy AD/COO Joe Fields as the Aggies’ next AD. NMSU President Valerio Ferme says Fields' experience in enhancing both the academic and personal development of student-athletes made him an appealing choice. "Joe Fields is first and foremost devoted to the overall excellence of our student-athletes. He brings integrity and humility to the role, and his qualifications as a former athlete, leader of athletes and competitor will help shape and lead our Athletics programs into their next chapter. In my conversations with him, he has stressed the need to support our athletes holistically. I know that his focus will be the overall success of our student-athletes, so they are achieving in the classroom as much if not more than they are in the athletics arena." Parker Executive Search assisted with the process. (link)

U.S. Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Cory Booker (D-NJ), and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) have introduced the Student Athlete Fairness and Enforcement (SAFE) Act, which aims "to codify athletes’ rights and protections in law, expand revenue for all schools, support women’s and Olympic sports and bring much-needed stability to the college sports system." The bill’s key provisions include: providing federal NIL rights, replacing patchwork state-by-state laws; establishing health and safety standards for heat exertion, brain injury, asthma; providing five years of post-eligibility medical coverage for sports-related injuries; protecting scholarships, a 10-year guarantee; providing NIL contracts that outline what athletes must do under the contract and how much they'll be paid; requiring agents cap their fees at 5% and to register with a state; allowing students to transfer twice without having to sit out for a year; and allowing students to transfer without having to sit out for a year if their sport is cut or reduced. The bill also proposes to amend the Sports Broadcasting Act (SBA) of 1961 to allow schools to negotiate media rights as a group to increase value without violating antitrust laws. It states schools must use increased media rights revenues to keep the same number of scholarships and roster sports for non-revenue generating and women's sports as provided during 2023-24 academic year.

SEC Network host/analyst Paul Finebaum is “considering” leaving ESPN to run for the U.S. Senate in Alabama as a Republican, per Outkick’s Dan Zaksheske, who notes that Finebaum was reluctant to consider the possibility because recently retired Auburn Men’s Basketball HC Bruce Pearl had expressed interest in the seat. Finebaum: “I was… hesitant at first because I was very aware of Bruce’s interest and [I'm a] huge fan of Bruce… I didn’t take it too seriously. I ended up talking to someone… who made it clear that there was a desire for me to be involved. And this person… was compelling and compassionate in the approach to me, and I started thinking about this. [...] [It would be] impossible to tell [President Trump] no. There's no way I could. I would tell him yes. The biggest issue is the direction of ‘Where are we going [as a country]?’ And I don't like some of that. When I watch a newscast, I know how biased it is because I do this for a living. And that's incredibly disturbing. But I keep all this to myself. I feel this is a cathartic conversation for me because I'm saying some things that I really did not intend to say when I walked in this room.” (link)
