Overland Park, KS.- Junior Ryan Sprock was chosen as a semifinalist for the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year award, as announced by the College Baseball Hall of Fame Tuesday. Earlier today, Sprock was announced as being a member of the All-CAA First Team as well.
“This may be the most competitive semifinal list we’ve had since the award was created as there is no clear-cut favorite yet to win the award in 2025,” said Olerud Award chairman George Watson. “The next two weeks are going to be vital in determining not only who our finalists will be, but also to see whether someone puts on a late-season surge to rise to the top.”
Earlier this season, Sprock earned the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Week award for his performances against both #4 North Carolina and Towson. The junior got it done from both sides of the ball as he collected his first save of the season on the mound against Towson and finished his week 7-for-14 (.500) at the plate with two home runs, six runs scored and four RBI.
On the mound, Sprock has been the top arm out of the Phoenix bullpen. Sprock has a team-low ERA of 1.69 and a team low WHIP of 0.81. The junior has made 13 relief appearances and been a part of three Elon shutouts. His four saves lead the club and his strikeouts to walk ratio of 3:1 is also tops on the Phoenix.
In the batter’s box, Sprock has been the top power hitter in the Phoenix lineup. He leads the club in doubles, home runs, Rbis and total bases. Sprock is also top 10 in the CAA in all previous categories mentioned apart from doubles. He has set career bests in batting average, hits, doubles, home runs, RBIs and total bases this season.
Sprock and the Phoenix will match up against #3 Campbell in the first round of the CAA Championships tomorrow. First pitch against the Camels will be at 4 PM.

NCAA President declares who’s in charge of NIL
Speaking in Indianapolis, hometown of its headquarters, NCAA President Charlie Baker divulged that college athletics’ top governing body … will not be governing NIL, if the House Settlement finally passes as expected.

Speaking in Indianapolis, hometown of its headquarters, NCAA President Charlie Baker divulged that college athletics’ top governing body … will not be governing NIL, if the House Settlement finally passes as expected.
During the Knight Commission’s annual spring meeting, held this day inside Indianapolis’ downtown Marriott, Baker told the assembled crowd that college athletics’ Power Conferences — ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 and SEC — would have oversight of implementing the rules of the long-awaited House Settlement — if the measure is granted final approval in the coming days or weeks in the Oakland, California, courtroom of U.S. District Court of Northern California Judge Claudia Wilken.
Baker, as detailed by Front Office Sports, among other outlets, disclosed that the Power Conferences would have oversight of the revenue-sharing distribution component, as well as of the vetting of Name, Image and Likeness. (NIL) deals.
The settlement, in the range of $2.8 billion and already agreed to by both sides but awaiting Wilken’s stamped approval, not only outlines the revenue-distribution component moving forward, with the measure set to start at up to $20.5 million in distribution per participating school July 1 of this year, but also provides backpay compensation from the NCAA as part of the settlement terms.
Additionally, the future vetting of NIL deals would include a third-party arbiter — Deloitte, which would be in charge of determining fair-market value of NIL deals for student-athletes in excess of $600.
The news about the NCAA’s imminent step-back process arrives as all the Power Conferences hold their own various spring meetings. The ACC’s meetings concluded last week in Florida; the Big Ten’s are presently in session in Los Angeles and next week, the SEC meets in Sandestin, Florida, for its annual gathering of all conference leaders, including SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey, as well as every member school’s president, athletics director and head football coach, among other dignitaries. Big 12 Conference meetings also are scheduled in the coming days.
Baker, as quoted in the Front Office Sports report, says, “The Power Conferences’ response is to create an entity, the College Sports Commission. The point behind that (College Sports Commission) was to create an entity that would see the cap management system and and the third-party NIL system, have rules associated with both; create enforcement parameters for violating those rules under the rubric that would be the theoretical injunction.”
In layman’s terms: it’s a step from college’s athletics latest, emerging power structure to lend some semblance of guardrails and oversight in the upcoming revenue-sharing era in order to slow down or thwart what essentially is the current “pay-for-play” system, as an NCAA official detailed earlier this month at the National Football Operations Organization’s annual meetings in Frisco, Texas, and as FootballScoop previously detailed.
ESPN has previously reported that the CEO of the fledgling, not-yet-fully-formed College Sports Commission, would be granted power moving forward to dole out discretionary punishments if it is determined that a school violated or circumvented the parameters of the House Settlement revenue-sharing agreement and corresponding terms.
Every conference, in same fashion, is not only confronting the expected knowns of the proposed House Settlement but also dealing with the still-gray areas; indeed, without federal regulations or oversight, state laws continue to take centerstage, such as Tennessee’s Danny White, the school’s fourth-year athletics director and former UCF boss, indicating the Vols would adhere to the state’s regulations and not the more stringent cap of the $20.5 million proposed by the House Settlement — a number that sources told FootballScoop was a step in the right direction favored by Sankey for a potentially more equal playing field in the league.
Additionally, the Power Conferences continue to game plan strategy surrounding the upcoming 12-team College Football Playoff, the last agreed-upon format, as well as the imminent expansion of the field to at least 14 if not 16 teams in 2026.

Power Conferences–Not the NCAA–Will Police NIL Going Forward

In a seismic shift for college athletics, NCAA President Charlie Baker confirmed Tuesday that if the House v. NCAA settlement is approved, the NCAA will no longer enforce rules surrounding player compensation.
According to a report from Front Office Sports’ Amando Christovich, the Power Four conferences—SEC, Big Ten, ACC, and Big 12—will enforce the proposed athlete compensation model, including revenue-sharing caps and the regulation of NIL collective deals.
Baker’s comments, made at a Knight Commission event in Indianapolis, serve as a formal passing of the baton as the NCAA prepares to exit the amateurism enforcement business.

The House settlement, still pending final approval from Judge Claudia Wilken, includes $2.8 billion in back damages to athletes and opens the door for schools to share up to $20.5 million annually with athletes. It also establishes a third-party clearinghouse—nicknamed “NIL Go”—to monitor NIL deals for market value and pay-for-play violations.
That clearinghouse will be run by Deloitte but governed by a newly formed “College Sports Commission,” created and overseen by the Power Four—not the NCAA. This commission will also adjudicate rule violations through a binding arbitration process, not open court.
However, while the NCAA escapes direct legal exposure, as the burden will now fall on the conferences, leaving antitrust lawsuits, which have dogged the NCAA for decades, to soon become targeted at the leagues themselves.
The Power Four have already circulated a “membership agreement” requiring schools to abide by the settlement terms and waive their right to sue. Some athletic departments are calling it a legal landmine.
“There’s a general consensus that it’s a mess—and going to keep me busy,” said attorney Darren Heitner.
The decision signals a fundamental realignment: the NCAA keeps control of eligibility and championships, while the Power Four effectively becomes college sports’ new regulatory authority. Whether they succeed where the NCAA failed remains to be seen, but July 1, the proposed launch date, is coming fast.

Arkansas transfer Boogie Fland has committed to UF following a two-day visit, Fland told ESPN today. The former five-star recruit is represented by former Florida Gators star Mike Miller.
Fland flirted with the idea of turning pro and attended the NBA Draft Combine but withdrew his name Sunday. The 6’2 guard ranked No. 42 in ESPN’s pre-draft rankings and was a projected second round pick.

How He Got to Gainesville
The New York native was a five-star recruit and McDonald’s All-American coming out of Archbishop Stepinac High School. Fland averaged 15.1 points, 5.7 assists and 3.4 rebounds over his first 18 games, before injuring his hand against Florida, ironically.
Fland was highly sought after in the portal and according to 247Sports transfer portal rankings, he is a five-star transfer portal prospect and the eight-best overall player in the portal.

According to Jon Rothstein, Fland was focused on the draft and only entered the portal to keep his options open. The decision to withdraw from the draft was likely due to his second-round draft grade and possible NIL earnings.
When Fland entered the transfer portal just before the late April deadline, Florida was already mentioned as a possible destination. The interest became concrete after Denzel Aberdeen left Florida for Kentucky, leaving a spot open for Fland at point guard.
What’s Next
Fland joins Princeton transfer Xaivian Lee and Ohio University transfer AJ Brown as the Gator’s latest additions. This trio hopes to replicate the production Florida received from Walter Clayton Jr. Will Richard and Alijah Martin.
With Fland’s commitment, the Gators could be favorites to win it all again – especially if starting forward Alex Condon withdraws his name from the NBA draft and returns. Florida center Rueben Chinyelu announced Monday he is withdrawing from the draft and will be back with the Gators for another season.
