It’s informative to look at where the growth in women’s sports has come from on a sport-by-sport basis, and how that has changed over time. Here is total girls’ high school sports participation in four-year intervals for the dozen most popular sports of the last 20 years, according to data from the National Federation of State High School Associations: >> Worth Noting: "Maybe the most interesting bellwether of Title IX’s progress in growing women’s sports — and particularly in diversifying which sports girls have access to or see themselves playing — is basketball. As noted, it remains the third-most-popular sport to play at the high school level, with around 400,000 participants and a 12 percent share of all female high school athletes. But that share has been dropping steadily with time, from an enormous 45 percent in 1971-72 to just 23 percent a decade later, 15 percent in 2006-07 and now even less than that." >> Read More   A MESSAGE FROM BLUEFRAME TECHNOLOGY   Did you know BlueFrame Technology has advanced integrations with top automated cameras like the Hudl Focus?

Champs Committee Recap by Justin Whitaker, NCAA "Aiming to return to pre-COVID-19 pandemic operations, the Division III Championships Committee is recommending a collection of budget initiatives, including per diem increases in all sports and the expansion of some brackets and travel parties. At its meeting Monday and Tuesday at the NCAA national office in Indianapolis, the committee recommended the Strategic Planning and Finance Committee approve funding Friday for the initiatives. Among the recommended initiatives, the committee backed an increase to the per diem for all sports from $100 to $115 and an increase to the host per diem from $40 to $50. >> Notable: "Sport committees generally feel that the current bench limits are adequate, but feedback has consistently shown that the student-athlete experience is negatively impacted when teams reach the NCAA championships and some student-athletes are not allowed to be in uniform on the bench with the team. As a result, the committee made a recommendation to the Division III Management Council to allow all student-athletes permitted in the bench area to be in uniform and to participate in warmups. The current bench size, squad size and travel party limits will remain unchanged." >> Continue Reading RULES 3. Track & Field Rules Committee Recap "The Men's and Women's Track and Field Rules Committee during its in-person meeting this week in Indianapolis recommended participants have one minute to initiate their attempt in field events, beginning with the 2022-23 academic year. The new proposal for field event athletes to initiate their trial within one minute after their name is called would put NCAA rules in line with World Athletics rules. Currently, field athletes have 30 seconds to initiate their trial. Elsewhere ...  Committee members proposed that officials may use video review, if available, in all field events, beginning with the 2022-23 academic year, to see whether an infraction or violation occurred.   The committee recommended eliminating mixed-gender competitions.

NEWS 6.  Lightning Round    News Western Connecticut State University president John Clark is stepping down amid a financial crisis that resulted in a depletion of 99 percent of university reserves in recent years. Clark, who has been president since 2015, will officially exit on July 14.
