Here's how the NCAA responded to Judge Wilken's pushback on roster limits (#563)

Also in this newsletter:

• President Donald Trump is going to announce a commission on college athletics. What does that mean? And what will they be tasked with doing?

• Isaac Howard is unlikely to sign with the Tampa Bay Lightning. But could the Lightning explore a trade?

• Matt Smaby will likely join the UND staff after the Clark Cup Playoffs, according to Brad Schlossman.

• Joel Quenneville is the new head coach in Anaheim, but David Carle was a serious candidate before he signed his extension with Denver.

• What would this year’s NCAA Tournament look like if the NCAA used the NPI instead of the Pairwise?
