#4: More from Southeastern AD Drew Watson’s Small College Conversation as he discusses NAIA postseason changes and advocacy, as a member of the NAC.
➤ Watson believes the approved changes to remove coaches from selection committees and tighten up the selection criteria are moving the association towards a more objective selection process. Asked if selections may get to a single selection metric: “I think one of the problems with the NCAA model is data doesn't always tell the whole story because it's really tough. We've been trying to look around at different sports and go, what is the perfect metric for this sport? And it's impossible. There is no perfect metric. … I think it's important for us to be able to explain the decisions that we make and not just say, ‘Well, the metric set it.’ Well, no, at the end of the day, it's the selection committee’s decision. If we use that, we could just hit a button, use AI and select the field, but nobody would want that because it probably wouldn't work out in some ways. … I think the national office, I think, has a good group on the process now. They're coming up with a selection committee handbook. There's going to be training for the people that are on those committees, and there's going to be accountability.”
➤ On balancing institutional interests with conference or association advocacy as an AD: “One thing that has continued to be impressed upon me as I go about my career is we are very much advocates for our institution. At times, however, we need to be advocates for the conference or for the NAIA and to step back and say, ‘Okay, this doesn't really work for me, but it's workable. It's not going to kill us, but what's best for the conference?’ … If we do what's best for the conference, then everybody's going to benefit. And that's the same with the NAIA at national levels and legislation.” (link)

As our university continues to grow, we remain committed to creating opportunities for our students to pursue excellence in everything they do. This is an important moment for Simpson University and another reflection of the tremendous momentum we are experiencing across our campus.” (link)
