Five years from now, if you're not looking back on your current approaches and wondering what the heck you were thinking, then you're not growing as an athlete or coach. Learn more: https://t.co/UuD7QkJkSP

🚨NCAA Eligibility Proposal Update 2026 Season

The NCAA is reviewing new eligibility rules that could impact college baseball recruiting and roster management. Key changes include stricter transfer portal windows, updated academic progress requirements, and phasing out extra COVID-19 eligibility. Student-athletes, parents, and coaches—stay informed to avoid surprises during the recruiting process.

CBI makes it easy to track these changes and understand how they affect your target programs. Use our tools to audit rosters and plan ahead.

Try the Team Roster Turnover Dashboard (tablet/laptop) to understand how these changes might impact your target school(s).

The DI Board of Directors directed the DI Cabinet to continue work on the age-based, 5-year eligibility concept.

Big note: Players who exhausted eligibility this year under current rules - even those 4-year seniors - will not receive an additional/5th season. Not retroactive.

Holden Peacock @holdenpeacock1 ( DCAT & OWB alum) hit walk-off 2 strike missle (4-6 on the day) for Macalester in extras in riveting 8-7 win. Great to see him and OWB alum Josh Planko. Both having awesome seasons. @OldWorldBBall

So great to catch up with Twins Baseball Operations Chief Jeremy Zoll (was Youngest GM in baseball at 34!) @twins during the Twins/Sox game! One of my all-time favorite players to coach. Most relentless work ethic I’ve seen. #hustlealwaysplays

After multiple flight cancellations from DC (after Headfirst Camp) and over 30 hrs of delays/re-schedulings, I was able to get to Copenhagen (what a city!) en route to meet the Old World Baseball Team in Venice Sunday @OldWorldBBall. Love it here, but can’t wait to play some ball. Happy 4th!

With the House settlement’s approval, a thread…

The settlement - negotiated by plaintiffs seeking back-NIL pay and NCAA/power leagues - has 3 main parts:
1) $2.8B in back-pay to ex-athletes 
2) $20B+ in rev-share to future athletes 
3) New roster rules & enforcement arm
