#7: Minnesota State Colleges and Universities CFO Bill Maki expects eight institutions to see “financial alarm bells” triggered due to low cash reserves by November. Chancellor Scott Olson sent a letter to employees this week stating a quarter of the 33 schools could be in a poor enough financial place to set off a “financial health” warning. Olson: I think we probably will have some campuses that close ... but not institutions. What would probably happen to institutions is that they would align or merge.” (link)

#3: Georgia College AD Wendell Staton will retire at the end of this academic year after almost 18 years leading the Bobcats. President Cathy Cox: “I often joked that the hardest part of my job was trying to bring Wendell out of his shell (and you all know that is said with a laugh). But truly, Wendell's optimism, his big heart, his dedication and commitment to excellence have made a lasting impact on decades of students, coaches, colleagues and supporters. The longest-serving athletics director in the USG, he has also willingly shared his love for GCSU with prospective and incoming families in innumerable visitation programs over the years.

#1: As you likely know by now, the Protect College Sports Act has passed the Senate by a vote of 77-22. Here’s what you need to know…
➤ During the proceedings, the body adopted a number of amendments including increasing the cap on Power 4 conference membership from 19 to 20 members, limiting the scope of federal preemption to allow for personal injury claims and disclosure of funding from persons “relating to intercollegiate athletics from a foreign government, a foreign adversary, a state-owned enterprise, or a sovereign wealth fund” in excess of $600.

➤ Will it pass the House? “That bill is dead,” one Democratic House member tells Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger, who notes the bill faces significant opposition in the lower chamber, where leaders maintain no plans exist to consider the legislation before the November 3 midterms. Still, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) expressed confidence that House Speaker Mike Johnson could take up the measure prior to the election or during the five-week lame-duck session from Nov. 9 to Dec. 17, but House staff members contend the bill will not advance.
➤ A congressional expert explains why: “The House doesn't just take bills because they have passed the Senate. This is personal. Ted Cruz is holding up several House bills in the Senate." Dellenger adds: “It’s personal for another reason: House lawmakers poured years and resources into a separate college sports bill, the House-authored SCORE Act, which failed to gain the necessary votes in the chamber twice last fall and again this past spring. The SCORE Act, friendlier to the NCAA and authored by Republicans, did not even garner enough Republican support. (link)
