The NCAA’s recent legal settlement is reshaping college sports by introducing strict limits on team sizes, particularly affecting Olympic sports. While major sports like football and basketball are set to receive more resources and roster spots, Olympic sports may face cuts in funding, scholarships, and team sizes. This shift could reduce college opportunities for athletes in non-revenue sports, potentially limiting the future pipeline for U.S. Olympic teams. The changes have led to concern and opposition from athletes, families, and coaches, who fear the divide will increasingly favor a few high-revenue sports while leaving fewer options for others.

As summer wraps up and the school year begins, the recruiting process enters a new phase. While summer showcases are a prime time for college coaches to scout talent on the road, fall and winter prospect camps present a crucial opportunity for athletes to reinforce connections made over the summer. With key decision deadlines approaching in November, these camps offer a chance for athletes to get back in front of coaches, show their interest in a program, and potentially secure a spot on the team. Here's why these camps matter and how athletes can maximize their impact.

The recent tragedy involving the Tufts Lacrosse team is a sobering reminder of the delicate balance in collegiate athletics, particularly in Division III where restrictive offseason rules limit official training to just 24 days. While these rules aim to protect student-athletes’ academics and well-being, they can also lead to unsafe conditions when athletes push themselves in unsupervised, voluntary workouts. This incident raises important questions about whether more structured, year-round training with proper oversight could better safeguard the health and safety of athletes.

We’re excited to announce the release of this year’s Guide for the College-Bound Student-Athlete! This comprehensive resource, published by the NCAA, is an essential tool for student-athletes, parents, and, most importantly, independent education consultants and counselors who help guide high school athletes through the complex college admissions process.
