Manchester is set to depart DIII and join the Crossroads League (NAIA), pending acceptance into the NAIA. If approved, the Spartans would officially join the league in 2027-28. President Stacy Young: “Throughout this process, we were seeking more than athletic competition. We were looking for partners who share our values and our belief that athletics should be an extension of an institution's educational mission. The Crossroads League's commitment to faith, character development, academic excellence and student success made it an exceptional fit for Manchester. We are excited to begin this new chapter and become part of such a like-minded community.” (link)
The NCAA has been issued a showcause order to be held in contempt of court as a result of the SEC’s alleged violations of a TRO in Louisiana that enjoined NCAA transfer rules for class of 2022 student-athletes and thus “acting in concert and/or participation with the NCAA.” The hearing is set for Thursday. (link)
The Tennessee Court of Appeals has issued an order staying the injunction granted to the plaintiff athletes in the Jalen Washington v. NCAA case, per Boise State professor Sam Ehrlich, who notes: “As with Ohio, those players are now ineligible unless and until the Court of Appeals rules in their favor.” (link)
Following the ruling, NCAA Chief Legal Officer Scott Bearby issued a memo to members that reads, in part: “We are encouraged that each of the three appellate courts to consider these injunctions has recognized the strength of the NCAA's legal arguments and the significant harm caused when ineligible student-athletes are permitted to compete. The decisions reaffirm the importance of preserving a level playing field for the thousands of student-athletes and member schools across Division I that are competing under the membership's rules. Consistent with our approach following the appellate decisions in Wisne and Borovicanin, we will notify courts across the country considering similar requests for injunctive relief of this important development. The Association will separately continue to defend challenges brought by former student-athletes seeking additional eligibility and continue to pursue expedited appellate review of any injunctions that may be entered. The NCAA stands by the membership's eligibility rules and will continue to vigorously defend those decisions in courts across the country.” (link)
Kenyon AD Jason Imperati recaps his first couple of months leading the Owls. “One early priority was identifying the need to retain three full-time sports information professionals. I have also enjoyed being part of the Benson Bowl lighting project, which will create more flexibility for our teams and reduce missed class time for our student-athletes. We are also in the early stages of developing a facilities master plan for athletics, which will help guide our priorities moving forward.” His vision for engagement: “Our vision is for Kenyon Athletics to be a strong partner both on campus and in the surrounding community. … We reevaluated an open position in the department and reworked the job description to create an Assistant Athletic Director for Community Engagement. … My vision for fundraising is to create a collaborative and coordinated approach across the department. It takes coaches, staff, alumni, families and campus partners working together to build relationships and connect people with the priorities of our programs. Operating budgets can only take us so far, and fundraising will play a significant role in shaping the future of Kenyon Athletics.” (link)
Public outcry over the issue of pro athletes attempting to return to college sports is reportedly providing a boost to efforts to pass the Protect College Sports Act, per Semafor’s Burgess Everett. NCAA SVP for External Affairs Tim Buckley said the “outrage” over the topic has “really changed some minds on Capitol Hill about the need for this legislation” and could help shore up support. “The events over the past week have been helpful to help us drive home the point. You don’t need to take our word for it or the conference’s word for it. This piece of legislation gives senators the ability to fix this problem for their constituents.” With Senators having pushed back the legislation’s consideration until September, Everett posits the delay might just improve the bill’s fortunes by helping it accrue 60 votes as the pro player controversy builds. Buckley adds: “The polls are really clear about this and you don’t need to be a political genius to understand it is wildly unpopular … to use college sports as a fallback.” (link)
Puck's John Ourand reports that the PCSA currently has enough votes to pass the Senate, though House action remains unlikely before the November elections. Proponents argue the standoff provides the necessary leverage to finally establish a unified national framework with antitrust protection, with one lobbyist who supports the PCSA telling Ourand: "This has galvanized the SEC, and even the Big Ten, to pass a bill, as imperfect as it might be." Another lobbyist who supports the bill adds: “Lawyers are now lining up to sue the SEC instead of the NCAA. I mean, it’s just a mess. Everybody should want some acceptable guidelines and guardrails on what you can and can’t do. Let’s just have one rule that’s enforceable and has liability protection from the federal government.” (link)

➤ The Landmark will return to the Palestra in January for a men’s and women’s basketball quadruple-header. Commissioner Katie Boldvich: “Gameday at the Palestra has become one of my favorite Landmark traditions, and I’m thrilled that we have the opportunity to continue it. There is something special about bringing our student-athletes to a venue with the history and tradition of the Palestra, and over the last several years, we’ve been able to make this event uniquely ours. To return for a fifth year is exciting on its own, but to do so during the Palestra’s 100th anniversary season makes 2027 even more special.” (link)
