#5: Minnesota State Colleges and Universities CFO Bill Maki expects eight institutions to see “financial alarm bells” triggered due to low cash reserves by November. Chancellor Scott Olson sent a letter to employees this week stating a quarter of the 33 schools could be in a poor enough financial place to set off a “financial health” warning. Olson: “I think we probably will have some campuses that close ... but not institutions. What would probably happen to institutions is that they would align or merge.” (link)
#4: Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ) will host the 2026 Scout Jacksonville Classic Nov. 22–25 at their gymnasium, The Reef, bringing seven NCAA DI men’s basketball and nine DI women’s basketball programs to Jacksonville for Thanksgiving week. AD Jerry Thor: “Our Manta Rays have built a winning atmosphere at The Reef, and this week we get to extend that same energy to Division I basketball on a national stage. This is a great showcase for our venue and for Jacksonville.” (link)
#3: Valley Forge Military College is considering relocating its campus from Pennsylvania to Oklahoma, Florida, or South Carolina due to ongoing legal disputes with Radnor Township over potential land condemnation, according to KOSU’s Lionel Ramos. Board of Trustees Chair John English noted the school prefers joining a state higher education system post-relocation to secure equal public backing alongside peer institutions in Georgia, Alabama, and New Mexico, adding that Oklahoma is now at the top of the list. Oklahoma state Senator Kelly Hines held an interim study with college leadership to discuss absorbing the institution, which currently costs $12K per semester in tuition and fees, while Oklahoma Adjutant General Thomas H. Mancino indicated that existing state National Guard scholarship funding of $12M could potentially be restructured to support incoming cadets. English on a potential move: "We met with the CFO of Oklahoma City; I wanted to hear directly from government leaders that if we were to move here, we're not going to be dealing with condemnation, or people coming after our nonprofit status, or zoning violations or harassment. And we got that, we got that assurance." (link)
#2: Yavapai has been approved to join the NAIA starting in 2027-28, with the Roughriders to join the GSAC. Acting President Doug Berry: “Being accepted into the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) is a proud, historic milestone for Yavapai College, and a natural next chapter for an athletics program that has been winning on the national stage for five decades. … Competing in the NAIA's Great Southwest Athletic Conference, our student-athletes will carry that legacy onto a larger stage. They'll challenge themselves, grow as leaders, and represent Yavapai College and our community with the same grit and excellence that have defined the Roughriders for generations.” (link)
#1: The Protect College Sports Act has passed the Senate by a vote of 77-22. Here’s what you need to know…
➤ During last night’s proceedings, the body adopted a number of amendments including increasing the cap on Power 4 conference membership from 19 to 20 members, limiting the scope of federal preemption to allow for personal injury claims and disclosure of funding from persons “relating to intercollegiate athletics from a foreign government, a foreign adversary, a state-owned enterprise, or a sovereign wealth fund” in excess of $600.

➤ Will it pass the House? “That bill is dead,” one Democratic House member tells Yahoo’s Ross Dellenger, who notes the bill faces significant opposition in the lower chamber, where leaders maintain no plans exist to consider the legislation before the November 3 midterms. Still, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) expressed confidence that House Speaker Mike Johnson could take up the measure prior to the election or during the five-week lame-duck session from Nov. 9 to Dec. 17, but House staff members contend the bill will not advance.
➤ A congressional expert explains why: “The House doesn't just take bills because they have passed the Senate. This is personal. Ted Cruz is holding up several House bills in the Senate." Dellenger adds: “It’s personal for another reason: House lawmakers poured years and resources into a separate college sports bill, the House-authored SCORE Act, which failed to gain the necessary votes in the chamber twice last fall and again this past spring. The SCORE Act, friendlier to the NCAA and authored by Republicans, did not even garner enough Republican support. (link)
