#10: NCAA DIII leadership provided an update on a number of topics following last month’s Presidents and Management Council meetings. Here’s what you need to know…
➤ On the age-based eligibility proposal before the membership at the 2027 NCAA Convention, only the amendment to remove age 19 as a trigger to determine eligibility will be voted on. The proposal for the legislation to be ruled a division-dominant proposal and require a two-thirds majority, as opposed to a simple majority, was, per Managing Director of DIII Jeff Myers: “reviewed by the parliamentarian, ultimately determined to be out of order and inconsistent with the legislative process and will not be considered at the NCAA convention for a vote.”
➤ Myers on the Presidents Council’s signal to recommend referring the age-based eligibility proposal back to the governance structure: “While they continued to discuss the specifics of that referral, the primary piece, as they discussed that and took a look at it, was that they're currently presented with a binary equation in that it's either the status quo or the model that's been endorsed by Division I and II. The question the councils asked themselves is, ‘Have we taken the time and are there other options that may be more appropriate for Division III?’”
➤ The DIII Analysis Working Group is putting together a third case study on membership segmentation. VP of DIII Louise McCleary: “They are working on it not because they believe or they support it, but because they have heard from different segments of the membership, what would happen if the division subdivided or divided? What would be the implications financially for both institutions and the NCAA? How would playing rules work? How would legislation work? How would championships work? And so the working group is going to take that on to make sure, similar to the eligibility and the NIL case studies, that the membership has the full picture ahead of them if they're considering something in that area.” (link)

#7: Two more notes from NCAA VP of DIII Louise McCleary during this month's webinar. Starting January 1, it will cost $5 to obtain an NCAA ID, which is required for all student-athletes. McCleary: “It was indicated within Governance and Member Services that there needed to be a savings, and the savings was either going to be a reduction to policies, programs, or initiatives that were supported from the survey that went out to the association, or could there be new revenue opportunities? To meet that, what staff and really senior staff, including myself, said, ‘Okay, if there's an opportunity to now charge $5 for that profile account, that would help generate some revenue, which would allow us to limit the number of budget cuts that were needed from our area.'” Also, McCleary expects the joint women's lacrosse championship is likely to continue beyond 2028, similar to the men's lacrosse joint championship.

#2: Alvernia and Marian (WI) announce plans for a “mission-aligned combination” under which Alvernia would acquire Marian. Marian President Aaron Sadoff: “This is an opportunity to enhance Marian's future while honoring the people and traditions that have made this university so special for generations. As we looked ahead to Marian's future, it was important to find a partner who understands and shares our commitment to our Catholic mission, our values, and the Fond du Lac community we call home. We believe Alvernia shares that commitment, and we are excited about the possibilities ahead for our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the communities we serve.” Both institutions will continue to operate as the currently do through the acquisition process.

He will be a tremendous asset as we continue to strengthen Maverick Athletics.” (link)
