1. Request from University of Oklahoma regarding an expense waiver. The Administrative Committee granted an NCAA Bylaw 16.12.1 Expense Waiver Incidental to Participation request to the University of Oklahoma, to allow the institution to reimburse the cost of a meal (valued at $35 per person) for the siblings of current student-athletes who attended a banquet where the student-athletes were being honored for receiving newly endowed scholarships. The Administrative Committee previously approved a request from the institution to provide the cost of admission to a basketball game and the subsequent awards banquet to the immediate family members of former student-athletes for whom the newly endowed scholarships were being named. In granting this request the committee noted it would have been permissible for the institution to use its Student-Athlete Opportunity Fund if institutional/conference policy would have permitted.

2. Request from the University of Missouri, Columbia regarding an expense waiver. The Administrative Committee approved an NCAA Bylaw 16.12.1 Expense Waiver Incidental to Participation request from the University of Missouri, Columbia, to allow the institution to reimburse a football student-athlete for the cost of purchasing a tuxedo ($132.99), which he wore to two black tie regional/national awards ceremonies at which he was honored. In granting this request, the Administrative Committee noted the student-athlete was unaware that the institution could have paid the tuxedo rental cost, the cost of renting a tuxedo was in fact more than the cost to buy one, and it would have been permissible for the institution to use its Student-Athlete Opportunities Fund had such a use not been in conflict with institutional rules.

3. Academics/Eligibility/Compliance Replacement Appointment. The Administrative Committee appointed Warde Manuel, director of athletics, University at Buffalo, the State University of New York, to the Division I Academics/Eligibility/Compliance Cabinet replacing Michael Thomas as the Mid-American Conference representative.
