➤ Financially for FY26, the association finished with $6.043M in revenue and $6.296M in expenses, with net income finishing at $765K, 662% over budget, but net operating income finishing below the -$9,500 projection at -$252K. Revenues were over budget on a number of areas: corporate sponsorships by $315K, NJCAA Network by $184K, and other income by $98K. Investment income totaled $666K, up from the initial projection of $125K. On the expense side, championship operations were 334K over the budgeted $286K and employee health insurance was nearly double the projected $235K expenditure at $479K.

➤ The board did approve a motion to provide a designated point of contract for each region’s operational matters. The role of a dedicated region commissioner and regent generated a robust conversation about the intent of this role. EVP for Internal Affairs/Chief Legal Officer Jeff Whtie: “Wherever we land, I believe we need to more clearly delineate where national association responsibilities and control rests and where region responsibilities and control rests. It's not about one dictating terms to the other; it's just about clearing up the communications and the efficiency of operations because, and I can just speak to the compliance function, we get a different type of reaction and collaboration from each of the 24 regions. So a more standardized approach and a common understanding of duties, responsibilities and accountabilities and who reports to whom and when should the national association be making this decision and when should the region be making this decision is not only critically important from an operations perspective, but obviously from a legal perspective as well.”

➤ White on the Protect College Sports Act: “I can say that the more time passes, the more I hear that it seems it's less likely to pass the House. There is no one that I've spoken with that believes it's going to pass in its current form. … If it's going to happen, it's going to be a big push towards the end of the lame duck session, and not surprisingly, there's a lot of personalities at play or in play, and so lots of horse trading that's likely to happen.” If the PCSA does come to pass, White laid out the changes that the NJCAA would have to undertake. First, the board would have to increase to 50 members, with all new members being current student-athletes or former student-athletes in the last decade. The association has plans in place to meet the ombudsman requirement as efficiently as possible with no more than one FTE added to the budget, as the association already meets a number of those requirements.

➤ “The opposition is small. Folks who have their own pocketbooks and influence to protect. The principal opponents are agents who now call themselves ‘Athlete Advocates.’ They do not want their egregious fees reduced, as this bill would do and they do not want to acknowledge there is a difference between professional and student-athletes. Why? Because if passed, the PCSA would leave these agents with a smaller buyers’ market. The agents argue the bill does not give student-athletes a voice. They make this argument knowing that collective bargaining cannot be achieved without changing many federal and state laws.”

➤ “So, this is the first post-election test. Will Congress pass the PCSA and show America that it really cares about high school athletes who cannot get college roster spots because they are competing against 25-year-old fifth- and sixth-year seniors or will they instead side with agents who recruit high school athletes in junior high school? Will Congress show that it also sees beyond just college football and men’s basketball but also cares about track and field athletes, wrestlers and softball players. Americans will know soon enough. In fact, we will know that answer within the next month. … History will remember if you choose wrong. Pass the PCSA.” Full letter. (link)
