TOP STORY 1. Management Council Recap   by Justin Whitaker, NCAA "The Division III Management Council this week approved several measures at a meeting at the NCAA national office in Indianapolis. Division III's strategic plan, championship budget initiatives and governance-sponsored legislative proposals for the 2023 NCAA Convention were on the agenda during the two-day meeting. The council approved the Strategic Planning and Finance Committee's recommendations from its June meeting, which were aimed at better supporting student-athletes. The championship initiatives include per diem increases in all sports, reimbursement for local ground transportation, a day of rest for select sports, and the expansion of some brackets and travel parties. The council voted to sponsor several legislative proposals for the 2023 NCAA Convention. As a result of the 2022 Division III membership survey and feedback specific to governance committees, the council will sponsor a proposal that adjusts the composition of the Presidents Council, Management Council and six governance committees." >> What They're Saying: "Over two productive days, Management Council continued progress on supporting Division III student-athletes, institutions and conferences," said Michelle Morgan, chair of the Management Council and senior director of athletics at John Carroll.  >> What's Next: The council elected Holly Sheilley, vice president of athletics at Transylvania, as chair and Michelle Walsh, director of athletics and physical education at Vassar, as vice chair effective with the close of the 2023 NCAA Convention. >> Read More A MESSAGE FROM BLUEFRAME TECHNOLOGY   Did you know BlueFrame Technology has advanced integrations with top automated cameras like the Hudl Focus?

But the milestone report also outlines the challenges that remain for women in leadership positions and the allocation of resources at member campuses. Both male and female student-athletes continue to set participation records. Throughout the 2000s, participation rates for male student-athletes slightly outpaced those for females. From 2002 to 2020, men gained nearly 73,000 participation opportunities, while women gained over 67,000. Women hold approximately 25% of all NCAA head coaching and athletics director positions and 30% of conference commissioner positions. >> Quotable: "Now is an important time to take inventory on where we've seen progress across college sports," said Amy Wilson, NCAA managing director of inclusion and the author of the NCAA's Title IX at 50 report. "Though we've made gains in certain areas, we obviously still have work to do. The 50th anniversary of Title IX is a time to celebrate all that's been done and the accomplishments of so many important figures, but it's also an occasion to identify where we need extra attention in the future." >> Continue Reading A MESSAGE FROM BRIGHT CELLARS   Bright Cellars is a monthly wine club that matches you with wines you'll love.
