Horizon League Commissioner Julie Roe Lach is departing the league after almost five years in the big chair to become the Executive VP with Pacers Sports & Entertainment, the corporate identity exemplified by the Indiana Pacers, Indiana Fever, Noblesville Boom, Pacers Foundation and Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Roe Lach: “Today is bittersweet. Being a part of the Horizon League has been so meaningful. Our staff, presidents, chancellors, athletics directors, sports administrators, coaches, faculty athletics representatives and student-athletes are remarkable. Traveling to our campuses and seeing the transformational opportunities in action has been such a privilege. Our league is filled with committed, talented and impactful leaders. I’m grateful to have been a part of the HL.” Roe Lach will remain in her Commissioner’s role and assist in the transition through the academic semester. (link)
Charlotte AD Mike Hill is no longer leading the 49ers. Chancellor Sharon Gaber: “Over the past seven years, Mike has led our athletics department with deep commitment. He played a pivotal role in many important advances for our athletics department, including the move to the American. His hiring of Head Football Coach Tim Albin has also set us on a path toward success. We deeply appreciate Mike's service, dedication and contributions, and we wish him the very best in his future endeavors.” Vice Chancellor for Institutional Integrity/General Counsel Jesh Humphrey will lead athletics in the interim.

NC State AD Boo Corrigan weighs in on the number of football coaches being let go midseason: “Honestly, I think there’s been a little bit of a loss of dignity in what we do and firing of coaches mid-season and some of those things. You’ve got people that truly dedicate their life to something, and if it doesn’t work out, is there a need to fire them immediately? Can you look at it and say, ‘Alright. What do we owe back? Are the young people buying into the coach? Are they playing hard? Do they still care about each other? Do those things matter or is it just wins and losses?’ I always believe that the culture of the team and looking at how hard are we playing? Are they buying in? Are they locked in? You can see those things. When the players come off the field are they here? Or are they here? Where are they in what’s going on?” Corrigan also says that “I think, societally, we’ve changed as well with immediate gratification of everything that’s going on. If you get someone from the portal, they’ve got to make an immediate impact on what’s going on. The coach has more and more pressure on them, the assistants have more pressure on them, the trainers have more pressure on them. It’s just expanded out, in a way.” (link)
USA Today’s Steve Berkowitz reports “U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken has ordered that a hearing be held Nov. 6 ‘on objections to the continuation of the’ going-forward, injunctive aspects of the NCAA-House settlement, which also is on appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit of Appeals. Several new objections to settlement and manner in which it is being implemented have been filed in recent weeks, including those concerning roster limits and schools' decisions on whether to give athletes a designation that would let them not count against the limits for another school.” (link)
On3’s Ross Dellenger writes the NCAA’s “five-for-five” eligibility plan to end redshirts has been tabled for now with attorneys advising “college officials against passing such a monumental change while fighting more than two dozen lawsuits from players seeking more years of eligibility.” Dellenger continues: “So… the mounting eligibility cases are preventing a change to the eligibility rule that may prevent more eligibility cases? Maybe. Some argue that a change to the ‘five-for-five’ may trigger more lawsuits. Any ‘five-for-five’ concept would likely eliminate redshirts, waivers and other exceptions for additional seasons of eligibility. That alone could elicit more legal challenges. [...] The point is, if you expand to five years, where does it truly end? Where is the line drawn? The existing four-year eligibility rule is tethered to the traditional four-year academic calendar. Can you legally justify a change to five years by tying it, as well, to the academic calendar? These are questions with complicated answers or no answers at all, which may further prevent any change to the rule.” More. (link)
