  1. The committee reviewed a letter from Tony Capon, Faculty Athletics Representative from the University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown, regarding the question of student-athletes applying in their last year of undergraduate enrollment and . The committee noted that the only criteria which applies equitably among all applicants is the fours seasons of competition within five years.

 

  1. The committee denied a request from Justin D. Anderson, a 1992 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship awardee, to have the scholarship awarded to him. Mr. Anderson was not notified of his award by his university in 1992, and thus was not aware that he was a recipient. The committee noted that this was unfortunate, but could not make amends because the funds had been distributed to an alternate.
