MEMORANDUM

April 25, 2003

TO: NCAA Executive Committee.

FROM: Carol Cartwright, Kent State University

David Frohnmayer, University of Oregon

Bette Landman, Arcadia University.

SUBJECT: International Competition/Educational Programs Recommendation.

As recommended by the Executive Committee at its November 2002 meeting, the Ad Hoc Subcommittee on International Competition/Educational Programs, with assistance from NCAA staff, reviewed all educational and athletics exchange initiatives proposed by foreign governments.

The subcommittee recommends:

1. The Executive Committee should support ongoing efforts regarding international television and licensing initiatives pursuant to business powers delegated to the NCAA president.

2. The Executive Committee should fold consideration of the NCAA's role in international matters into the Association's strategic planning process.

It should be noted that individual NCAA institutions and conferences would continue to engage in foreign tours consistent with NCAA by-laws.
