I couldn’t agree with Jacob Vigdor more. Evidence suggests that there are only a handful of universities in the country where revenue generating sports (football and basketball) are actually self-sustaining. The vast majority are subsidized by donor, tuition, and state (tax) dollars. Considering the multiple crises that universities are facing we’re going to need to reassess our priorities around college sports. I think it’s increasingly important to reinvest in the core mission of college - research and education.

As we near the finish line of another school year, we want to celebrate our student-athletes and the profound lessons gained through high school sports. While we acknowledge and celebrate these accomplishments, it's also an opportune time to look toward the future of education-based athletics in Indiana. As an Association, we have always aimed to approach the future by listening to our membership and the needs of their school communities. Of course, we are aware that public perception, at times, has suggested otherwise—that we operate behind closed doors. However, that is not the case. We do not exist in an echo chamber. We are active listeners who take action—when appropriate—in response to what we hear. That is why in 2024-25 the Association will conduct a study on what the transfer process may look like in the future. We are spearheading this effort because we empathize with families burdened by making school choice decisions before high school. Furthermore, in today's era of school choice—particularly in urban areas—we realize that families are sometimes forced to reassess the education paths for their children. To be clear, this study is not an avenue to make athletically driven transfers possible. Instead, this study aims to explore solutions that provide families with flexibility while preserving the integrity of our education-based athletic programs. The 2024-25 transfers study will follow the same philosophy that drives the straw polls we conduct at area principal meetings yearly. And it aligns with the same principles that govern our sectional realignment process (https://bit.ly/3RmPcwA). It is another example demonstrating how essential it is for the Association to listen to its membership, understand the needs of our school communities, and take action to protect and preserve the integrity of high school sports in Indiana. Like we always have been, we will continue to be your IHSAA. (Read the entire Spring Spectator Newsletter here: https://bit.ly/3RvAu6j) #ThisIsYourIHSAA #EducationBasedAthletics #HighSchoolSports

Boston College. What a beautiful campus to visit! It is a medium-sized private, Jesuit university in Chestnut Hills, MA. You can get there on a commuter train from Boston. While the Jesuit values are a big part of campus life, non-Catholic students say they fit in just fine here. Some fun facts: -You must apply to one of the four academic divisions on your application: College of Arts and Sciences, Management, Nursing, or Education. The first year experience includes a 48-hour retreat at the cape with 100 other first years. -First years can take core courses called "Complex Problem" and "Enduring Question," which fulfill core requirements. -Professors are accessible, with some even giving out their cell phone number to students. -They are an R1 research institution, so there are plenty of research opps for undergraduates. -If you want to apply, give extra attention to the supplemental essay, as it's important. You may want to consider applying Early Decision, as they filled 55% of their class next year with ED applicants. Also note that their only merit aid offered is in the form of 18 full-tuition scholarships. For need aid, they meet 100% of need. -Traditions include a mud volleyball tournament, a St. Patrick's Day parade, and a big hockey rivalry with BU. They are also on Mile 21 of the Boston Marathon route. Students get the day off on Marathon Monday each year to line the streets and support the runners. -They have interesting housing: they have modulars that were built on campus to help during a housing crisis, but they are so unique that there now is a waitlist for them, and 40% of freshmen live on the Newton campus, which is a short bus ride away.

As we celebrate National School Choice Week, let us take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey of ACE and the school choice movement. ACE Scholarships has played a pivotal role in shaping the future of education, championing Educational Savings Accounts in thirteen states, and expanding school choice in over twenty-five states. This year, we continue to build momentum, with many states considering ESA programs – a historic turning point for the school-choice movement. During this special week, we join state leaders, activists, parents, and schoolchildren in celebrating significant milestones and the promise of a brighter future. At ACE Scholarships , we champion school choice for its transformative impact. We've awarded over 80,000 scholarships across 12 states, providing children with educational freedom and opportunities. We're proud to announce that ACE is administering Utah's new ESA program, providing over $42.5 million annually to 5,000 children. However, there's still much more to be done – especially in jurisdictions resistant to school choice. As we commemorate National School Choice Week 2024, let's focus on those less fortunate. Join us in urging legislators to enact meaningful school choice legislation and support initiatives like ACE Scholarships. This is a pivotal moment in history, and together, we are not just witnessing it; we are writing it. #NationalSchoolChoiceWeek #SchoolChoice #Education #ACEscholarships

WHAT'S YOUR "WHY" Saint Mark's High School brothers, Tyler and Kyle Iudica are proud to continue their Spartan Family Legacy, but what led them to their decision to enroll at Saint Mark's High School from H.B. du Pont Middle School?! "I chose Saint Mark's High School because it felt like home from the start. The open house revealed exciting academic plans, solidifying it as the perfect place for my education. Conversations with coaches were crucial in helping me decide because sports are integral to who I am. Hearing President Tom Fertal express his dedication and plans for improvements, made me know that I was standing in the school of my future." -Tyler Iudica '25 "Choosing Saint Mark's High School was an easy decision for me. It's the only school that felt like home from the first time I stepped on campus. Growing up, attending events with my proud alumni parents created a strong connection. The good class sizes and a range of Honors level courses made the decision even easier. Additionally, the opportunities in the sports programs got me genuinely excited to attend. Saint Marks is a tight-knit community, focusing not just on education but also on forming meaningful connections beyond the classroom." - Kyle Iudica '27 Spartans, what is your "WHY"? Why will you select Saint Mark's for high school? Enrollment agreements for the Saint Mark's Class of 2028 are due February 15th. Completing an enrollment agreement by 2/15 claims any awards that a student has on file, and officially enrolls them in the Class of 2028. Due to the immense interest in Saint Mark's High School, awards that are not claimed by 2/15 will be terminated. Admitted students who do not enroll by 2/15 cannot be guaranteed a seat in the Saint Mark's Class of 2028.

There is a LOT of misinformation in this post, but the backbone: that athletics can be a significant positive for small colleges in terms of building the institution is underappreciated in higher education. Like anything else, doing something badly tends to mitigate benefits, but College Athletic Advisor can help you make your campus more successful by any metric. Athletics can not only build enrollment but attract the students YOU prioritize to build your campus community. Being strategic in implementing a growth strategy that includes athletics is the key! https://lnkd.in/g5x9Nrbt
