#5: More from MIT AD/Head of DAPER G. Anthony Grant’s Small College Conversation on how athletics is leaning on the academic prowess across the institute to bolster the student-athlete experience.
➤ MIT’s FAR Anette Hosoi, a professor of mechanical engineering, and a colleague helped MIT in the design of its now-renovated athletic weight room to integrate data collection and wearable technology. “When I was going out and talking to donors about the project, we talked about the fact that because we're at MIT, we don't want to just have a space where you just have the utilitarian weights that you throw around and whatnot. But our students really want that data collection. They want to know, am I really progressing? If I'm coming back from an injury and you're saying that I have to only be at 60% of a lift, what is really 60%? I want to know that. Also, we need to be very efficient with our time and so we need to use that data that we're able to get in order to tailor the workouts to make sure that student-athletes are getting what they need when they're in that space.”
➤ Grant also notes the department has been exploring how to use AI to streamline certain processes. “At the end of the day, because higher ed landscape budgets are shrinking, we have to do more with less. Even at a place like MIT, we don't have as much staff as you would think that we would need for a program that just from the varsity side has 33 sports. We don't have it. So while I would like to increase the staff, the landscape right now is not allowing me to do so. So where it makes sense, I want to incorporate technology in order to make up, to a certain extent, to the head count that I'm not able to provide at this point in time.” (link)
#4: Caltech Men’s Basketball HC Doc Eslinger will depart to become an AC at an Ivy League (DI) institution, per HoopDirt’s Adam Nelson. (link)
#3: Johns Hopkins elevates Assoc. AD for Business Operations/SWA Kelly Mannix and Assoc. AD for Leadership and Sports Performance Allison Fondale to the Senior Assoc. AD level. (link)
#2: Hiram has pulled more than $47M from its $56M endowment fund and is currently eliminating eight academic majors to stabilize its budget, as it works to close budget shortfalls. Former Hiram President David Haney cautioned that administrators must focus on cutting expenses rather than utilizing restricted donor capital to bridge enrollment gaps: "What a lot of these small colleges do is they think that things are going to turn around. 'If we just invest in new athletic facilities, everything is going to be fine.' In most cases, that doesn’t happen. To me, that’s why borrowing from the endowment and taking out debt is not the way to go about it." More from Bloomberg’s Amanda Albright and Elizabeth Rembert. (link)
#1: The DIII Committee on Infractions has found that Loras awarded close to $215K in financial aid paid for by a donor to four Colombian baseball student-athletes during 2024-25 and 2025-26. The student-athletes received 97% of their cost of attendance covered through a $28K international student award and another $24K in a private award that was funded by a donor who knew the four student-athletes through his work with a “youth baseball charitable organization.” The funds were then facilitated through a new private award created with the help of the former president and former VP of advancement. Penalties include two years probation, a $2,500 fine, public reprimand and comprehensive compliance education. (link)
