MSU names Palumbo interim athletic director amid leadership transition

Michigan State has named Jon Palumbo as interim athletic director, effective immediately, to replace J Batt who is departing for Kentucky. Palumbo, MSU’s executive deputy athletic director/COO and head of Spartan Ventures, previously led MSU athletics after arriving from Georgia Tech and has prior AD experience at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. Batt’s exit comes with a $3.95 million buyout from Kentucky as MSU searches for a permanent replacement.

NCAA stays course on transgender athlete rules after high court ruling

NCAA president Charlie Baker says the association will not change its transgender-athlete rules after the Supreme Court upheld state bans, arguing the policy already aligns with federal standards and that changes would be driven mostly at the state level; the ruling reinforces bans on transgender girls in women’s sports under Title IX, while litigation continues elsewhere, and Baker noted very few NCAA athletes are transgender.

Pac-12 debuts a new era with nine full-time members

Two years after realignment chaos erased the old Pac-12, the revamped conference launches with nine full-time members—Washington State, Oregon State, Gonzaga, Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, Utah State and Texas State—with Gonzaga the lone non-football school. It adds 12 affiliate programs across five sports and will host its men’s and women’s basketball tournaments at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena for the next two seasons, while aiming to compete for the Group of Six CFP bid in football and to be a top mid-major in men’s basketball.

Wisconsin bets on a familiar face for AD, but relief may be limited

Jim Polzin argues that Wisconsin’s hiring of former Nebraska deputy athletic director Shawn Eichorst as athletic director is a safe, familiar choice that could provide short-term stability, but it likely offers little relief from deeper issues facing UW athletics and may not address broader concerns about the hiring process or long-term performance.

Five-year window looms over college lacrosse as 5-in-5 rule passes

The NCAA Division I Cabinet approved the 5-in-5 age-based eligibility model, granting up to five years of eligibility for players who enroll by age 19, a move that creates uncertainty about roster caps, recruiting, and budgets across conferences (notably the Ivy League and Patriot League) and by institution (including service academies). Coaches expect varied impacts and possible reductions in Class of 2028 commitments (roughly 5–10% fewer this fall, with adjustments later) rather than a uniform overhaul. The NIL landscape in lacrosse remains limited and largely donor-driven, while other DI sports policy discussions (e.g., soccer) advance separately. Overall, the exact effects on rosters and recruiting will depend on program and conference choices, and “unanswered questions” abound as schools navigate implementation challenges.

Congress Targets the SEC and Big Ten in College Sports Antitrust Push

A Pat Forde column argues the Protect College Sports Act could reshape college athletics by curbing the SEC and Big Ten's dominance through antitrust exemptions and governance guardrails on transfers and eligibility, a move supported by many other conferences despite the majors' resistance; it traces a history of realignment that widened the revenue gap and warns that congressional action could either limit power or spur a breakaway mega-league, with media rights and national appeal hanging in the balance.

Midterm Pressure Dims Prospects for Protect College Sports Act

The Protect College Sports Act cleared a 19-9 vote in the Senate Commerce Committee, but sources say it’s unlikely to move before the midterm elections. With only about 39 session days left and the Senate’s limited bandwidth, insiders expect no floor action before November, meaning momentum may fade and the bill could reset if it stalls until after Election Day.

Senate set to vote on Protect College Sports Act, reshaping college athletics antitrust rules

The Protect College Sports Act cleared the Senate Commerce Committee 19-9 and is on track for a full Senate vote; it would address antitrust issues in college sports and could tighten NIL payouts by closing a loophole, a move opposed by the SEC and Big Ten; the House would consider it next, with the President potentially signing if it passes.
