#10: St. Michael’s has received permission from a judge to pull up to $30M in restricted funds from its endowment over the next two years to cover budget deficits. The college’s unrestricted endowment funds have decreased from $37M in 2021 to $9.8M in June, with the focus shifting to around $70M in restricted dollars. President Richard Plumb writing on the need for these funds: “If the College is unable to access its endowment funds to meet operating expenses, it would face a serious and credible risk of being forced to cease operations.” More from the college’s attorneys as enrollment has “stabilized” for this fall: “There is very good reason to believe the College’s course correction will be successful and that, many years hence, this one-time draw on the endowment will be viewed as a critical step that helped preserve the College’s future.” (link)

#8: Front Office Sports’ Amanda Christovich offers this interesting nugget from the Wisne v. NCAA case: “I'm told the NCAA missed its 14-day deadline to appeal the class certification portion. That would be one of the first steps in appealing the back-damages portion of the case. Damages could be anywhere from $50M to the $100M+ range. So the NCAA hasn't appealed the damages portion … yet.” (link)
#7: 99 UT Tyler staffers have accepted buyouts after the university offered buyouts to around 27% of its total workforce as the university works to close a $12M projected shortfall. The reductions will cost the institution $3.6M this year and save around $9.6M in FY27. (link)

#4: In conjunction with its transition to DII, A&M-Texarkana rolls out its new university and Eagles brand. President Ross Alexander: “It is time for this university to have a strong identity of its own, while maintaining the standard of excellence associated with the A&M System. This new brand is instantly recognizable and representative of the greatness that is A&M Texarkana. Throughout the past year, we have worked closely with students, faculty, staff, alumni, university stakeholders, and community members to develop new branding that is as strong and unique as our university, while still honoring our deep A&M connection.” (link, link)
#3: Sonoma State Interim AD Joan McDermott sits down with The Press Democrat’s Gus Morris to dive into the Seawolves’ revival and athletics set to return in 2027-28. McDermott’s next top priority is hiring the HCs that will lead SSU’s 10 sports as soon as possible. “It is a challenge, but this is a great place, and I think we’re going to have some coaches who are very excited to be here and recruit some talented athletes. It’s going to take work, of course, but we’re looking for people who are really enthusiastic and really believe in this place and believe in themselves.” More notable comments from McDermott…
➤ Financially, McDermott believes this era of athletics will differ as there will be more focus on outside fundraising efforts and a greater emphasis on fiscal responsibility. Fundraising and naming rights are two avenues she has been exploring to upgrade facilities that have not been fully operational since athletics ceased at the end of 2024-25. On the excitement from alumni: “This place, maybe more than some of the other places where I’ve worked, the alumni are so passionate about it. They’re really excited and they really want to support the program and it will take that, it will take the alumni helping and the community helping, on and off campus.”
➤ Notably, baseball, one of SSU’s most storied programs, is not a part of the initial cohort of 10 sports. McDermott: “It is a challenge, but this is a great place, and I think we’re going to have some coaches who are very excited to be here and recruit some talented athletes. It’s going to take work, of course, but we’re looking for people who are really enthusiastic and really believe in this place and believe in themselves.” More. (link)
#2: The LSC has invited Texas Wesleyan (NAIA) to join the league and transition to DII. The Rams will apply to enter the provisional membership process in October. President Emily Messer: “This invitation reflects our university's investment in our student-athletes by their coaches, staff and supporters. We are honored to take this next step, and we are ready for it. Competing in the Lone Star Conference means competing among the best in Division II, and that is exactly where Texas Wesleyan belongs.” (link)
