Olympics 'FOMO' behind Prathamesh Jawkar's swap from compound to recurve archery

“When I started archery, my coach had told me that my bow arm, its joint structure, was ideal for compound and not good for recurve. I considered myself physically incapable of doing recurve. But then at the Paris Olympics, there were so many archers, men and women, with different body structures. They were shooting at […]

Olympics 'FOMO' behind Prathamesh Jawkar's swap from compound to recurve archery


“When I started archery, my coach had told me that my bow arm, its joint structure, was ideal for compound and not good for recurve. I considered myself physically incapable of doing recurve. But then at the Paris Olympics, there were so many archers, men and women, with different body structures. They were shooting at the highest stage. I thought if I was mentally capable of performing in high-pressure situations, then my arm won’t come in the way of this journey,” the Asian Games gold medallist recalled.It’s been six months since he made the shift to recurve. While he chose to remain tight-lipped about his new compound coach, Prathamesh admits that there’s been some teething trouble. When Prathamesh — who had beaten then-World No. 1 Mike Schloesser of Netherlands in 2023 to win the World Cup in Shanghai —started out in the sport, he had made up his mind that recurve archery was never an option for him.

Prathamesh will be using 2025 to prepare himself and participate in local tournaments to test the waters, all with that ultimate Olympic goal in mind.“I thought come the 2028 Olympics, I would have been at the peak of my career. But we got to know last year that compound archery wouldn’t be a part of the Los Angeles Olympics, at least. That was harsh news for me, but I’d made up my mind that I would have to settlen for a life without the Olympics,” he explained. “Lot of archers have shifted from recurve to compound because that’s the easy way out to get medals. But moving the other way sends a good signal to all of those archers that they can come back and boost India’s chances to win at the Olympics,” the Dronacharya Awardee told  Sportstar. “The main aim is to make the Indian team for the 2026 World Cups and the Asian Games,” he concluded. “It’s a challenge. I’m going to feel really good if I pull this off and show that I can do the things which people think are impossible.”“I decided to go and watch the Paris Olympics, just for the experience of it. It was really incredible. I felt FOMO (fear of missing out) while being there, that I’m missing out on the greatest stage for an athlete. When I was watching the men’s recurve gold medal match, I decided I really wanted this and I would give up anything to get it,” the 21-year-old told  Sportstar on Thursday, after World Archery officially announced his shift.In attendance was Prathamesh Jawkar, one of India’s best archers. He was there at the Esplanade des Invalides as a spectator because his discipline – compound archery – is not part of the quadrennial event.

Challenges ahead

But it was that gold medal match which prompted the youngster from Maharashtra’s Buldhana to take a giant leap of faith.For someone whose target has always been to help India win that elusive medal in archery at the Olympics, the International Olympic Committee’s decision to not include compound in the 2028 Los Angeles Games was a bitter pill to swallow.

On August 4, 2024, South Korea’s Kim Woo-jin beat USA’s Brady Ellison 6-5 to clinch the gold medal in men’s recurve archery at the Paris Olympics.

According to former SAI High Performance Director (Archery) Sanjeeva Kumar Singh, this development bodes well for a lot of archers who usually shift in the other direction. “It hasn’t been smooth. Recurve needs a lot more strength. Compound archery has a mechanical bow so you don’t get tired easily. I had to build my strength from zero because it’s really hard to pull the bow. I still haven’t developed the power to shoot higher scores. There have been a lot of painful days for me in these past few months,” he said. “It’s the right decision. Prathamesh has performed really well at the world level. When you look at the Olympics, it depends whether the athlete can take on the pressure. The winning mindset, good body structure, the perfect T-stance – he has it all. What is required is the right coaching,” the Olympian — who represented India in the 1988 Seoul Games — added.

NCAA Eliminates Sport-Specific Scholarship Caps, Introduces Roster Limits Under House Settlement – WRHI

On June 23, 2025, the NCAA Division I Board of Directors passed a landmark rule change: sport-specific scholarship limits will be abolished for schools opting into the House v. NCAA settlement. Instead, institutions must now adhere to maximum roster-size caps for each sport, but are free to […]

On June 23, 2025, the NCAA Division I Board of Directors passed a landmark rule change: sport-specific scholarship limits will be abolished for schools opting into the House v. NCAA settlement. Instead, institutions must now adhere to maximum roster-size caps for each sport, but are free to award scholarships to any or all rostered athletes. The reforms take effect July 1, 2025.

Why This Matters

  • Scholarship flexibility: Coaches can decide how many scholarships to award—full or partial—without being constrained by old sport-specific caps.
  • Roster management: Roster limits aim to prevent schools from inflating team sizes to capitalize on new NIL revenue without adding coaching/staff support.
  • Gender equity boost: The change is expected to more than double women’s scholarships in many sports, helping level the playing field.

Per NCSA, adjustments reflect historical average roster sizes, ensuring the new limits are realistic and manageable — especially in football, where the cap rises from 85 to 105.

New Maximum Roster Limits (2025–26)

Sport (Division I) Old Scholarship Limit New Roster Limit
Tumbling (W) 14 55
Baseball (M) 11.7 34
Basketball (M) 13 15
Basketball (W) 15 15
Beach Volleyball (W) 6 19
Cross Country (M) 5 17
Cross Country (W) 6 17
Field Hockey (W) 12 27
Football (M) 85 105
Golf (M) 4.5 9
Golf (W) 6 9
Gymnastics (M) 6.3 20
Gymnastics (W) 12 20
Ice Hockey (M) 18 26
Ice Hockey (W) 18 26
Track (M) 12.6 45
Track (W) 18 45
Lacrosse (M) 12.6 48
Lacrosse (W) 12 38
Rowing (W) 20 68
Soccer (M) 9.9 28
Soccer (W) 14 28
Softball (W) 12 25
Stunt (M/W) 14 65
Swim (M) 9.9 30
Swim (W) 14 30
Tennis (M) 4.5 10
Tennis (W) 8 10
Triathlon (W) 6.5 14
Volleyball (M) 4.5 18
Volleyball (W) 12 18
Water Polo (M) 4.5 24
Water Polo (W) 8 24
Wrestling (M) 9.9 30
Wrestling (W) 10 30

Broader Implications

  1. Impact on Walk-Ons: With full scholarship coverage possible, many walk-ons could be replaced by fully-funded athletes. Teams will need to balance roster limits against resource constraints.
  2. Financial Rebalancing: Departments must prepare for potentially tens of millions in new scholarship funding. Some schools are already adjusting budgets to support expanded scholarships.
  3. Gender Equity: Earlier scholarship caps often favored men’s revenue sports. These roster limits could lead to more equitable investment in women’s programs.
  4. Legal and Compliance Aspects: The settlement grandfathers current athletes, protecting their roster spots even if teams later shrink. NIL deal transparency rules also take effect alongside these reforms.

 Timeline

  • House settlement court approval: June?5,?2025
  • NCAA Board vote and formal adoption: June?23,?2025
  • Reforms take effect: July?1,?2025

Conclusion

The NCAA’s shift from scholarship caps to roster limits marks a seismic change in college athletics. By empowering schools with flexibility while maintaining roster discipline, these reforms are set to reshape recruiting, financial planning, and athlete opportunities—ushering in a truly new era of college sports.

Malala turns her fight for equality to women in sports

By George Ramsay, Amanda Davies and Aleks Klosok, CNN (CNN) — Malala Yousafzai is known by millions around the world as an activist and human rights campaigner, a voice of power and inspiration who survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban at age 15.

Malala turns her fight for equality to women in sports

By George Ramsay, Amanda Davies and Aleks Klosok, CNN

(CNN) — Malala Yousafzai is known by millions around the world as an activist and human rights campaigner, a voice of power and inspiration who survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban at age 15. Perhaps less well known is her life as a sports fanatic.

But take any major women’s sports event from the past few years and you can bet on Yousafzai being in the stands, whether that’s cricket, soccer, basketball, netball or the Olympic and Commonwealth Games. She even chose to spend a freezing Valentine’s Day evening with her husband, Asser Malik, watching American rugby star Ilona Maher turn out for English club side Bristol Bears.

Now, Yousafzai – mononamously referred to as Malala – is turning her fandom into a platform to invest in women’s sports around the world, both on a professional and amateur level.

Recess is her latest initiative intended to enhance the rights of women and girls through sports, a concept which you could say has been in the pipeline since Yousafzai’s childhood in Pakistan.

“I remember in school recess time when boys would go off to the local cricket playground and girls had to stay behind,” she said in an exclusive interview with CNN Sports. “From that point onwards, I knew that sports was something that girls did not have easy access to.”

And in today’s global climate, a time of conflict and heightened political tension, Yousafzai believes that sports play a more crucial role than ever before.

“I think about young people and how their lives are at risk, how children are killed, they’re starved, and girls’ rights are taken away in Afghanistan,” she said. “Just looking at the tensions around the world, we can only hope and pray for peace and encourage everybody to put down their weapons and think about the hope for humanity.

“We are capable of dialogue, we are capable of coming together, and sports, in history, in the current times, have proven to be that powerful way of bringing communities together. … We could be competitive, but at the same time, when the game is over, we can hug each other, shake hands, and recognize that we’re all one humanity.”

A longtime and committed campaigner for women’s education, Yousafzai became an internationally recognized figure after she was shot in the head by the Taliban while riding a bus home from school.

Airlifted to a hospital in Birmingham, England, for lifesaving treatment, she had months of surgeries and rehabilitation before recovering and making the UK her new home with her family.

Undeterred by the experience, Yousafzai founded the Malala Fund in 2013 to champion educational rights for girls, and the following year became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 17.

Recess, launched on Tuesday to coincide with her appearance at the Billie Jean King Power of Women’s Sport Summit in London, is Yousafzai’s latest initiative dedicated to women’s and girls’ rights. This time, she is doing it alongside her husband, who has experience setting up a cricket franchise in Pakistan and working with the country’s cricket board.

“We were looking for an opportunity where we could bring in our expertise, our platform to benefit women’s sports in general, just because of the lack of investments, lack of opportunities,” Yousafzai said.

Among those contributing to the initiative as advisors are Billie Jean King and wife Ilana Kloss, people who “believe in women’s sports as a business opportunity, and who believe that women’s sports can help us promote gender equity,” Yousafzai added.

She and Malik identify the NWSL and WNBA as two leagues in which they are looking to invest, partly because of the “huge potential” for growth, Yousafzai said, and partly because getting involved in established leagues can “help us really test the economics and the mission side of our work.”

The approach will be multipronged, focusing on women’s professional sports in recognized and emerging markets, but on increasing the number of girls involved in sports around the world.

By age 14, girls drop out of sporting activities at double the rate of boys, according to the Women’s Sports Foundation, due to limited opportunities, social stigma and a lack of role models, among other reasons.

“For women’s sports to grow everywhere, we have to have a different approach for different places,” Malik told CNN Sports. “And obviously, Recess’ approach is to treat them like a proper business and to go in and prove that it’s a great business case, so that more capital comes in and it grows.”

Away from boardrooms, Yousafzai, like many who grow up in Pakistan, is an avid cricket fan. She’s also a keen golfer and admits to thinking about the sport “every week almost,” even reliving her best shots to Malik after a round in precise detail.

From her perspective as a fan, the 27-year-old has seen the impact of athletes like Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark, who has brought increased audiences to the WNBA. It’s figures like Clark, she believes, who can act as role models and encourage more girls to take up sports, purely off the back of their performances alone.

“They have a huge impact without actually saying much,” Yousafzai said. “I don’t think we need to ask them about every topic and every issue – the fact that they’re on the field and they’re on the court is already changing perspectives.

“It’s empowering girls. It’s sending a powerful message to women, to all of us, that the sky’s the limit, and women’s sports will thrive. We will have more equal opportunities for women and girls and we can imagine a world where girls are empowered.”

Learfield and North Dakota State Agree to Long

Bison to grow NIL opportunities through Learfield Impact and addition of on-site NIL Business Manager

FARGO, N.D. – After seeing its powerhouse football program claim a 10th national championship in 14 years, the North Dakota State University athletic department has reached a long-term renewal with Learfield for the locally based Bison Sports Properties team to continue as the exclusive multimedia and sponsorship rights holder of the Bison.

The renewal agreement puts an emphasis on student-athlete marketing opportunities, as Bison Sports Properties will take full advantage of Learfield Impact NIL services and expand the team to include an NIL Business Manager. The new position will be dedicated to maximizing NIL activity and educating Bison student-athletes on NIL, fueling remarkable NIL growth with the ability to leverage authentic storytelling from Learfield content creators and streamlining NIL partnerships through the Compass NIL platform.

“We are excited to build upon our existing relationship with Learfield and continue to drive revenue and exposure for all of Bison Athletics,” said Matt Larsen, North Dakota State Director of Athletics. “The addition of the NIL Business Manager position will greatly enhance opportunities for our student-athletes. When coupled with scholarships, cost of attendance and Alston awards for all student-athletes, we will continue to be leaders in student-athlete support and resources at the FCS and mid-major level.”

Learfield Impact boasts industry-leading NIL expertise and success at its schools with on-site NIL personnel, which have experienced a 350% increase in student-athlete marketing opportunities compared to schools without those resources. At schools outside the Power 4 conferences, NIL Business Managers are generating 400% more NIL-related revenue and a 50% increase in average deal size.

“North Dakota State is an extremely successful athletic program in every aspect, and it is our privilege to extend our partnership,” said Andrew Wheeler, Executive Vice President of Sports Properties at Learfield. “We are fortunate to work with Matt and his team to capitalize on this success across the Learfield enterprise and are excited to enhance NIL opportunities for Bison student-athletes through Learfield Impact.”

NDSU Athletics has been an enterprise-wide client of Learfield since 2020 and continues to maximize Learfield’s digital and data expertise through long-term alignments with licensed merchandise agency CLC, digital ticketing, fundraising and marketing platform provider Paciolan, and digital solutions leader SIDEARM Sports.

Since the multimedia rights partnership began, the Bison have experienced a consistent raising of the bar in sponsorship revenue. Bison Sports Properties has exceeded overall revenue goals with increases in total partnerships and sponsorship revenue for four consecutive years and boasted 4-year revenue growth of more than 120% in traditional sponsorships at the conclusion of the last fiscal year.

Among Learfield’s data and digital tools is Fan365 – its programmatic digital sponsorship and marketing program – which has engaged 80 partners in nearly 200 digital campaigns at NDSU, resulting in 39 million impressions and a click-through rate nearly 250% higher than that of standard display banners.

KIMBALL, S.D. — Several area track and field coaches were bestowed state and regional honors on Monday as the top coaches in South Dakota.

Kimball/White Lake track and field coach Stephanie McCord was named the Class B track and field head coach of the year in Area 3 by the South Dakota Cross Country and Track and Field Coaches Association. Platte-Geddes’s Matt Maxon and Scotland/Menno’s Ken Bruckner were also named the Class A Area 3 head coach and assistant coaches of the year, respectively.

McCord was also recognized in the fall as the state’s girls cross country coach of the year, after KWL won the Class B state team championship, which was the third in five seasons for the Wildkats.

In the spring track season, the Wildkats had athletes place on the podium in 10 events at the state track and field championships. The girls team finished tied for fifth place in the team standings following strong performances in the long-distance races, earning a pair of runner-up finishes and a third-place result.

Platte-Geddes finished with a share of 15th in the Class A boys team standing, securing three podium finishes in the sprint races. Scotland/Menno, on the strength of Trinity Bietz’ throwing double championship, came in eighth in the girls standings in the program’s first year competing in a co-op.

Four SD athletes named to All-American squad

Additionally, the South Dakota High School Coaches Association recognized their selections to the National High School Coaches Association All-American teams, which include two All-American and two honorable mentions for both boys and girls track and field.
