@LizRobertshaw @IWLCA @NULax @NU_Sports @NorthwesternU @NCAALAX Thoughts on if every goal should be reviewed in the championship??

Stephen Colbert was awarded the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award for his advocacy for free speech and speaking truth to power. A fitting honor for a champion of our democracy.

RETWEET to congratulate Colbert on this honor!

@D3Direct Can you do this for men’s and women’s lacrosse??

[D3Direct @D3Direct]

HS WBB SA's: 399,067
NCAA WBB SA's: 16,509

1.3% land at D1
1.2% play D2
1.7% go D3

Only ~4.2% play in college

If you have an offer - don't take it for granted

And we've got 2 more NCAA Olympic sports discarded by their host school.

NCAA D3 Marian University has eliminated Men's & Women's Lacrosse.

In just the past 2 WEEKS, we've lost 24 Olympic sports programs — 11 discontinued and 13 due to school closure.

THIS IS A CRISIS

[NIL 𝘯𝘰𝘵 NLI @NILnotNLI]

Some good NCAA news:

• D3 Fitchburg State University is adding Men's Lacrosse

• D3 Utica University is adding Women's Flag Football

At least 21 Olympic sports programs have been added at NCAA member schools this month.

[NIL 𝘯𝘰𝘵 NLI @NILnotNLI]

Every single player on this USA Women’s Gold Medal Hockey team is a current or former NCAA player. 100%.

​Olympic sports bring so much value to universities, regardless of revenue.

Keep eliminating them and we lose a lot.

[NIL 𝘯𝘰𝘵 NLI @NILnotNLI]

Some good NCAA news:

• D3 Keystone College is reinstating its Men's Golf program.

• D3 Kenyon College is adding Men's & Women's Squash

51 Olympic sports programs have been added (8 D1) at NCAA member schools since March — double the amount that have been eliminated.

Connor Hellebuyck:

Never played Tier 1.
Never played in The Brick.
Never played Quebec PW.
Never made a Development Camp.

Did play HS hockey.
Did play NAHL.
Did play NCAA D1.
Did win a Vezina.
Did win Olympic gold.

And yet we’ve got parents stressing over which 8U team

🤯

Elmo is sad to see the #WinterOlympics end, but do you know what that means? The #WinterParalympics are almost here! ELMO IS SO EXCITED! 🥇

🇺🇸 CURLING TEAM MEMBER RICH RUOHONEN: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. We have a constitution. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Erin Jackson has officially made history as the FIRST Black woman to win an individual GOLD medal at the Winter Olympics 🥇🔥

Moral Lesson: Never let anyone tell you where you don’t belong. History is waiting for you to rewrite it.

Kid showed up 10 minutes late to practice last Thursday.
Freshman.
Third week on the team.
Still learning how everything works.

I didn't say anything.
Just moved the practice forward without him.

He jogged up, quiet, and slid into the back of the group.
Everyone kept moving.

During the cool-down, I saw two of our leaders pull him aside by the fence.

Couldn't hear what they said.
Didn't need to.

Just watched them talk — calm, serious, no raised voices.
The kid nodding.
Listening.

Thursday afternoon, 4:47 PM, my phone buzzes:
"Won't happen again, Coach. My bad."

I never tell new coaches this is what's possible because they don't believe me.

They think you have to enforce everything.
Make the call on every situation.
Be the one who holds the line.

But when your architecture is clear — when everyone understands what the goal demands — the team regulates itself.

Those leaders weren't doing me a favor.
They were protecting something they built.

I don't police alignment.
The standard does.

@dtmurtaugh @paulcarcaterra Talk to a D1 Volleyball player from Stanford who is now playing in the ACC! traveled over 33,700 miles. ADs should be finding ways for teams to travel less not more.

[Alise Shuart Barrett @shuarta]

@danarestia Well the NCAA only has recommendations about playing in hot/cold weather. NCAA needs a definite rule.

[Alise Shuart Barrett @shuarta]

It is time for the NCAA to determine what a safe real feel temperature for athletes to practice and compete outside is. It is not enough to recommend how hot or cold it should be. #putathletesfirst

[NCAA Division III @NCAADIII]

Division III is stronger because of women in sport. 🩵

My son texted me the letter "X" at 11 PM.
That is our agreement.
It means: "Things are getting weird. Get me out. But make it look like you are the bad guy."
I called him immediately. I used my "angry dad" voice.
"I told you to clean the garage before you left! Get home right now or you're grounded for a month!"
He hung up, rolled his eyes at his friends, and said, "My dad is such a psycho. I gotta go."
He got in the car. He was safe. He didn't have to be a "snitch" or "uncool."
He just had to be the kid with the annoying dad.
I will wear that badge every single day if it keeps him safe.
