The Michigan House of Representatives has proposed a change to the way the state allocates funding to public universities. The proposed plan would tie state funding to the number of full-time Michigan residents enrolled in a university.
Some state schools, like Central Michigan University and Eastern Michigan University, would get more in yearly funding. But two major research universities, the University of Michigan and Wayne State University, would lose millions of dollars.
U of M would lose more than 12% of its funding, which is nearly $40 million during the first fiscal year the policy is in place, losing another $125 million over the next three years. Wayne State would lose about 4% or $8 million during the first year, and another $29 million over the next three years.

UConn has found its new director of sports performance for men’s basketball.
The Huskies have hired Gavin Roberts, who served as head strength and conditioning coach for Purdue men’s basketball the past three years. Roberts’ hire is pending the completion of the university’s employee onboarding process.
Roberts, 31, was assistant director of sports performance at Western Michigan prior to his time at Purdue. At UConn, he will be responsible for all in-season and off-season aspects concerning strength, conditioning, nutrition and wellness training for the men’s basketball student-athletes.
How the NCAA s new transfer rules are changing recruiting and creating chaos in college basketball

There is havoc in men’s college basketball, a diaspora of players leaving programs that shows no sign of ending soon.
Roughly one out of every three players who donned a uniform this past season has entered the NCAA’s transfer portal. That’s over 1,600 players, enough to field about 120 teams, and some believe that number could still swell to double the total from a year ago when the portal had over 1,000 entrants for the first time.
The reasons are clear: the NCAA’s decision in October to grant an extra year of eligibility to all current student-athletes, coupled with a more recent ruling that allows players to transfer one time without penalty. While the rule changes were meant to benefit student-athletes, they have created chaos.
