On July 11, 2024, a Third Circuit panel held in the seminal decision Johnson v. NCAA that NCAA athletes can be employees of universities for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) solely by virtue of their participation in interscholastic athletics. As part of its decision, the Third Circuit rejected the “frayed tradition” of amateurism as a defense to shield FLSA claims from college athletes.

Are we paying attention to what is happening to the smaller, private college sports programs? Great Forbes article by #PennGSE Professor Dr. Karen Weaver at the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education as an introduction to the changing landscape of collegiate athletics. So much of the focus is on NCAA Division I programs, but that narrow view leaves out so much of the post-secondary athletic population. Playing sports in college is an honor that so few high school athletes experience. So, when the opportunity arises, how are students able to maximize their chance to continue to play? NCAA Divisions I, II, and III are certainly options, but we also have to keep NAIA and NJCAA schools in the conversation. If the research is showing that NCAA DIII schools are in jeopardy, what then is the fate of programs in the other athletic organizations? In Baltimore City schools, student-athletes comprise the largest number of graduates in the district. I work with these students every day. I only hope that they continue to have a college - NCAA DII or DIII, as well as NAIA and JUCO - to attend and live out their aspirations as students and athletes. #LinkedInsports

I've been privileged to run off season HS lacrosse for two decades. Over the years I have seen a lot of changes in travel lacrosse, most of them not good. For those who are new to travel lacrosse, here is a test to rate a club. Each yes is worth 1 point. 1. Does the club have a comprehensive website with online resources and registration? 2. Are all staff background checked? 3. Has the club been in operation ten or more years? 4. Does the staff have collegiate playing experience? 5. Do any of the staff have families with children of their own, 15 years old or older? 6. Has the club have a substantial amount of NAIA/NCAA commits? 7. Does the club have a NCAA Coaches on staff? 8. Does the club aid in recruiting and have a written guide for families? 9. Does the club have an enforce a code of ethics? 10. Does the club have a written playing time agreement? 0-2 stay away 3-4 poor 5-7 fair 8-9 good 10 very good
