College Athletic Advisor

@ImCollegeSoccer Maybe the problem is focusing on "D1" instead of the best fit? Lots of schools outside D1 have elite programs, lots of D1's are anything but...

Ohio State and Grambling’s bands decided to stay after the game was over for a little while longer and perform together for the fans who stayed to watch

@RossDellenger @YahooSports This is, needless to say, not good.

Nick Saban met today with Cody Campbell, the Texas businessman leading the yet-to-be-announced presidential commission for college sports, sources tell @YahooSports. The commission will continue developing, with Saban included. Further direction from the White House is expected.

USA Diving has indeed filed a motion for leave to file an amicus brief in House. Their brief would argue that the proposed grandfathering provisions are insufficient to mitigate the harm caused to the sport of diving by roster limits.

@HotseatHour @beautyresultspr @CoryRG123 @NCAA @noroster_limits @JohnBoeheim @BrandiHahn10420 @4Common_Cents @ConnecticutCoug Well, the only folks subject to "grandfathering" are going to be kids getting cut prior to fall... so any further cuts after that aren't going to be DSA or non-DSA.

@CAACoachDave @beautyresultspr @CoryRG123 @NCAA @noroster_limits @JohnBoeheim @BrandiHahn10420 @4Common_Cents @ConnecticutCoug The judge said very clearly "as a direct result of roster limits" Don't guess. There will be numerous roster and sport reductions going forward and not all will get that label. This is SPECIFICALLY due to roster limits. PERIOD

Quick update in the House v. NCAA settlement negotiations. The NCAA did make a proposal that includes "grandfathering" both current student-athletes and incoming recruits, making them exempt from roster limits going forward. Reply filing incoming from objectors.

@Tanner_HL @HotseatHour @beautyresultspr @CoryRG123 @NCAA @noroster_limits @JohnBoeheim @BrandiHahn10420 @4Common_Cents @ConnecticutCoug yes.

@HotseatHour @CAACoachDave @beautyresultspr @CoryRG123 @NCAA @noroster_limits @JohnBoeheim @BrandiHahn10420 @4Common_Cents @ConnecticutCoug If I understand correctly, there's no cost to the university to classify an athlete DSA, right? You can call them DSA and still cut them from the roster. Seems like schools would want to classify cut athletes as DSAs just because it makes it easier for them to play elsewhere.

@janemarple312 @DebbieE51612531 Most coaches had those students on the roster for a reason and didn't want to cut them in the first place. The assumption of bad faith by coaches who were transparent that they were following direction from higher up is really sad.

@DebbieE51612531 @CAACoachDave Not sure coaches can change their mind. If you were a fall athlete cut because roster limits you likely have that documentation. I'm sure some coaches who leaned on that reason wish they had just said it was performance.

If you're a coach and want to optimize your transfer portal, you need to be using our (free) universal baseball WAR rankings! Collegeathleticadvisor.com/analytics/ Looking at jumping in the portal, yourself? It's a useful data point.

@MTinSAV @analyticssoccer When the settlement is finalized, that's not going to be in there. They've already given up on letting conferences make even lower roster caps during some kind of phase in... conferences can't/won't dictate roster decisions like that.

@analyticssoccer @CAACoachDave I’m hearing that conferences will actually try to dictate this. In other words, schools within a conference will still have to abide by conference decision. That's why ND could announce - they don't have to worry about a conference commissioner.

@beautyresultspr @HotseatHour @CoryRG123 @NCAA @noroster_limits @JohnBoeheim @BrandiHahn10420 @4Common_Cents @ConnecticutCoug I don't think "budget" is going to fly. If you were cut because of "budget" THAT'S BECAUSE OF THE SETTLEMENT.

@HotseatHour @CAACoachDave @CoryRG123 @NCAA @noroster_limits @JohnBoeheim @BrandiHahn10420 @4Common_Cents @ConnecticutCoug Only if cut due to settlement. If cut for other reasons like budget, no they don’t have to give them DSA designation.

The toxic meltdown that we will have to endure if we lose next Wednesday will be intolerable. I'm not for one second saying that it won't be justified, but it will be so intense that I won't be sticking around for it. I'll be logging out of this app until August.

@4Common_Cents @CoryRG123 @beautyresultspr @HotseatHour @NCAA @noroster_limits @JohnBoeheim @BrandiHahn10420 @ConnecticutCoug It was definitely stupid.

I think there are a lot people that reasonably believe that implementing the terms of a settlement that has not been approved to the detriment of thousands of athletes, before objectors have even had a chance to be heard, is a significant act of bad faith. And doubling down by complaining that their acts of bad faith are the reasons they cannot remedy the situation to protect the athletes that they claim are athletes are at the heart of their mission - is wildly hypocritical.

Every hard-hitting journalist worth their salt takes the time to cover the Children’s Hippity Hop Race at @PimlicoRC.

@CoryRG123 @beautyresultspr @HotseatHour @NCAA @noroster_limits @JohnBoeheim @BrandiHahn10420 @4Common_Cents @ConnecticutCoug Sigh. The NCAA has a 100% record complying with court settlements as far as I'm aware. Go froth elsewhere. They're not fraudsters, they are other things...

@CAACoachDave @beautyresultspr @HotseatHour @NCAA @noroster_limits @JohnBoeheim @BrandiHahn10420 @4Common_Cents @ConnecticutCoug There should be no gray here. Relying on the NCAA to do the right thing is foolish. They’ve already proven they don’t care about SAs.

@beautyresultspr She sure can if NOT doing it violates the settlement.

@CAACoachDave Yes i saw that, but according to one d1 AD she can’t force them to do so.

I hope the NCAA steps up and stipulates that they accept these terms.
