College Athletic Advisor

What we do at collegeathleticadvisor.com

Thursday is a paid holiday. Because Flavor Flav said so.

I see leadership at Maryland has stayed consistent... can't imagine the folks who think calling the police on student journalists is a good idea are going to make an especially intelligent football hire

Columbia will open its season without its head coach on the sideline, as Megan Griffith is suspended for the Lions' first three games, the university announced today. Our Ivy League beat reporter, @jennhatfield.bsky.social, explains what we know about the situation. #NCAAWBB

This is why I'm no longer on Twitter at all other than maintaining my account so no one ELSE can use it. bsky.app/profile/anil...

US Soccer could have put a stop to this long ago if they actually cared about cleaning up the sport and protecting youth players. Not that anyone involved has any, but it is an eternal shame to everyone involved - doubly so for the parents.

Another look at the abomination that is the "Protect College Sports Act" defector.com/the-protect-...

A nepotism hire we can all support!

Good morning MSP!

Wheels down in MSP for the NACAC Conference!

Having a pretty tough time thinking of a circumstance where I would advise a student to attend Cornell right now...

What a week! This WEEK... advisees committed for 2027 to schools in the Big Ten, Big 12 & two advisees committed and got likely letters to an Ivy League college. I'm big on staying anonymous in the process, these kids get there because they're the right fit, but it's SO exciting to be part of it!

Amazing. Also--you never know what will make an impact, no matter how small it seems.

In my professional opinion, the Protect College Sports Act is bad, actually, and I hope it doesn't pass. www.extrapointsmb.com/p/the-protec...

John Gagliardi approves www.footballscoop.com/2026/09/18/d...

Really looking forward to SEC Shorts this week!!

It is very important to make sure congress doesn't pass this awful bill. newrepublic.com/article/2155...

Seriously, is there any way to hold absolutely awful abusers accountable and keep athletes safe?

EXCLUSIVE: Vlatko Andonovski is the new Chief Soccer Officer of the Chicago Stars. The ex- #USWNT coach will oversee the entire technical department. Why Chicago? And how did the last-place #NWSL team secure him after his recent exit from Kansas City? Details on @espn.com 👇

The SWAC is going nationwide. SWAC TV is expanding its reach with a free streaming channel, giving fans greater access to live sports and original programming without a paywall. The rollout begins this weekend. READ: hbcusports.com/2026/09/17/s...

4-5 years into the Paying Players (Legally) Era we finally get this, feels like an essential document to understanding the sport that we're going to need updates on every year

Oh just HRC sharing your story @emmabaccellieri.bsky.social!!!

This is a great time to call your senator and tell them to vote NO on the Protect College Sports Act abomination. @murray.senate.gov

No Manning should be able to go out in public for a long time defector.com/arch-manning...

Inside Team USA's 12th FIBA World Cup championship www.theixsports.com/uncategorize...

Washington & Jefferson vs. Keystone was called as a 42-0 W&J win at halftime. Field was a little damp.

Parents make all kinds of choices about their children's education, and it mostly works out! But turning kids over to Alpha School is basically child endangerment. @benjaminjriley.bsky.social has the receipts and it's bad. buildcognitiveresonance.substack.com/p/special-re...

Honestly, attorneys are going to look back at this era of college sports as their golden age.

There have been a host of problems during Cathy Engelbert's time leading the WNBA. Badly negotiated media deals, badly negotiated labor deals, badly negotiated capital campaigns... As I wrote, the NBA owners put her in a bad position. Again and again. wagesofwins.substack.com/p/the-princi...

Wow. What a week 1 for college football...

I'm sure we all had "Michigan storms the field after beating Western Michigan" on our bingo cards...

Way to go @ncaa.bsky.social, now you've got conferences suing their own members with rosters THIS WEEKEND on the line... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rtd9... It's time for Charlie Baker to resign and educators to regain control of the association.

Always good to have eligibility uncertainty for an entire division with the season underway...

Minor typo: Northeastern State won by 52-0 in the biggest D2 vs D2 blowout.

I felt this in my bones youtu.be/1xhcCmRkAoY?...

This was entirely avoidable.

Court puts extra year of college eligibility on hold, creating uncertainty for NBA hopefuls hoopswire.com/court-colleg...

We should not be making sports harder for anyone, including this woman.

I can't see how this is sustainable. The NCAA needs to sort this out and stop doing eligibility changes mid-summer.

Got students "waffling" and indecisive about whether they want to play their sport in college? Here's how you can help! collegeathleticadvisor.com/addedtime/

The "Protect College Sports Act" advanced out of committee. It now has the backing of all 4 "Power Conferences" and is opposed by people who care about student-athletes, the Congressional Black Caucus and the Urban League. Get the whole story here: collegeathleticadvisor.com/addedtime/sp...

When you're reaching out to a coach for the first time, it's important ask a question that helps you in your college search! You can download this and other useful recruiting resources at collegeathleticadvisor.com/counselorres...

Game ready!

As a Michigan alum, I don't love Warde Manuel, but dumping him as he continues to rebuild the Michigan athletic department laid waste by previous guys would be peak UofM bad leadership www.espn.com/college-spor...

Taking a World Cup break to share that the Pac12 has learned absolutely nothing from the last 5 years. Commissioner Teresa Gould maps out the Pac-12's next frontier share.google/wGv9C2i8YSOw...

Wow. This World Cup is exceeding the hype every time...

It's worth mentioning that Christine Brennan has been disgusting for decades. Her career is a monument to serving the powerful without conscience or critique.
