Status: Board of Directors Consideration
Intent: To exclude from the Academic Performance Rate cohort,
student-athletes who have graduated (or completed all graduation requirements)
and have eligibility remaining.
Bylaws: Amend 23.02.1 by adding new 23.02.1.1, page 397, as follows:
"23.02.1 Academic Progress Rate. The Committee on Academic Performance shall have the authority to determine the minimum acceptable academic progress rate (APR), which shall include a calculation that accounts for currently enrolled student-athletes receiving institutional financial aid based in any degree on athletics ability or, for those institutions or teams that do not offer athletics aid, recruited student-athletes who:
"(a) on or after the varsity team's first date of competition in the championship segment are listed on the varsity team's roster; or
"(b) have exhausted eligibility and returned to the institution as a fifth-year student to complete a baccalaureate degree.
"The rate shall account for the institution's success in retaining and graduating all such student-athletes. Further, the rate shall account for the academic eligibility of the student-athletes including all applicable NCAA, conference and institutional academic eligibility requirements. The Committee on Academic Performance shall publish an explanation of the APR calculation to the membership annually.
"23.02.1.1 Exception. Student-athletes who have graduated (or completed all graduation requirements) and have eligibility remaining shall not be included in the APR calculation."

Effective Date:
Proposal Category: Amendment
Topical Area: Academic Performance Program
Rationale: Currently, student-athletes who have graduated and have
exhausted athletics eligibility are not included in the APR calculation.
However, student-athletes who have graduated and have eligibility remaining are
included in the APR calculation. A student-athlete who
has graduated, regardless of his or her athletic eligibility status, has met
the ultimate academic goal of graduation and should not be included in the APR
calculation.
Estimated Budget Impact: None.
Impact on Student Athlete's Time: None.
Position Statement(s)
Committee on Academic Performance: The committee opposes
Proposal No. 2005-97. Available data demonstrate that student-athletes who have
graduated but remain in the cohort are earning 94 percent of their possible APR
points. Removal of post-graduates from the APR cohort would mean that, while
some teams may benefit from eliminating a few post-graduate student-athletes
who did not earn the eligibility point from the cohort, many teams would be
negatively affected. In addition, the committee noted that, from a
competitive-equity standpoint, student-athletes representing an institution in
athletics competition should be held to a minimum standard of academic
performance.
Status: Board of Directors Consideration
Intent: To permit a student-athlete who is a professional in one
sport to receive institutional financial assistance for participation in a
second sport.
A. Bylaws: Amend 12.1.2, page 74, as follows:
"12.1.2 Amateur Status if Professional in another Sport. A professional athlete in one sport may represent a member institution in a different sport. However, the student-athlete cannot and may receive institutional financial assistance in the second sport. unless the student-athlete:
"(a) Is no longer involved in professional athletics;
"(b) Is not receiving any remuneration from a professional sports organization; and
"(c) Has no active contractual relationship with any professional athletics team. However, an individual may remain bound by an option clause in a professional sports contract that requires assignment to a particular team if the student-athlete's professional career is resumed.
"12.1.2.1 Professional at Later Date. If the individual later becomes involved in professional athletics while still a student-athlete with remaining eligibility, the individual would be considered to have violated the principles of ethical conduct per Bylaw 10, thus rendering the individual ineligible for intercollegiate competition."
B. Bylaws: Amend 15.01.6, page 198, as follows:
"15.01.6 Institutional Financial Aid to Professional Athlete. It is permissible to award institutional financial aid to a student-athlete who is under contract to or currently receiving compensation from a professional sports organization, provided the student-athlete has completed his or her four seasons of competition, the student-athlete receives no more than five years of aid and such aid is received within six years after initial collegiate enrollment."
C. Bylaws: Amend 15.3.1.4, page 207, as follows:
"15.3.1.4 Institutional Financial Aid to Professional Athlete. It is permissible to award institutional financial aid to a student-athlete who is under contract to or currently receiving compensation from a professional sports organization in the same sport, provided the student-athlete has completed his or her four seasons of competition, the student-athlete receives no more than five years of unearned aid and such aid is received within six years after initial collegiate enrollment. A professional athlete in one sport may represent a member institution in a different sport and may receive institutional financial assistance in the second sport.
"15.3.1.4.1 Exception for Former Professional Athlete in the Same Sport. A former professional athlete may receive institutional financial aid in the same sport, provided the following conditions are met:
[15.3.1.4.1-(a) through 15.3.1.4.1-(c) unchanged.]
"15.3.1.4.1.1 Later Professional Involvement. If the individual later becomes involved in professional athletics while still a student-athlete with remaining eligibility, the individual would be considered to have violated the principles of ethical conduct per Bylaw 10, thus rendering the individual ineligible for intercollegiate competition."

Effective Date:
Proposal Category: Amendment
Topical Area: Amateurism
Rationale: Many professional athletes receive limited earnings
despite achieving the title of "professional." Not all professional
athletes earn sufficient income to fund their college education and therefore,
such student-athletes should not be prohibited from receiving financial aid while
representing a member institution as an amateur in another sport.
Estimated Budget Impact: Potential Budget Impact.
Impact on Student Athlete's Time: None.
Status: Board of Directors Consideration
Intent: To specify that a student-athlete who is trying out for a
team is not required to complete the NCAA drug testing consent form for 14 days
from the first date the student-athlete engages in countable athletically
related activities or before the student-athlete participates in a competition,
whichever comes first.
Bylaws: Amend 14.1.4 by adding new 14.1.4.3, page 136, as follows:
"14.1.4.1 Content and Purpose. Each academic year a student-athlete shall sign a form prescribed by the Academics/Eligibility/Compliance Cabinet in which the student consents to be tested for the use of drugs prohibited by NCAA legislation. Failure to complete and sign the consent form prior to practice or competition, or before the Monday of the fourth week of classes (whichever occurs first), in sports in which the Association conducts year-round drug testing and prior to competition in all other sports shall result in the student-athlete's ineligibility for participation (i.e., practice and competition) in all intercollegiate athletics (see also Constitution 3.2.4.7). Violations of this bylaw do not affect a student-athlete's eligibility if the violation occurred due to an institutional administrative error or oversight, and the student-athlete subsequently signs the form; however, the violation shall be considered an institutional violation per Constitution 2.8.1.
[14.1.4.2 unchanged.]
"14.1.4.3 Exception -- 14-Day Grace Period. A student-athlete who is "trying out" for a team is not required to complete the form until 14 days from the first date the student-athlete engages in countable athletically related activities or before the student-athlete participates in a competition, whichever occurs earlier."
Source: NCAA Division I Management Council [Academics/Eligibility/Compliance Cabinet (Pacific-10 Conference)].
Effective Date:
Proposal Category: Amendment
Topical Area: Eligibility
Rationale: Proposal No. 2005-8 created a 14-day grace period for
students to try-out for a team prior to being added to the squad list. NCAA
rules require all student-athletes to complete drug testing consent forms prior
to beginning practice activity. This proposal would eliminate extra paper work
and the time required to complete forms until the student-athlete is actually
added to the squad list.
Estimated Budget Impact: None.
Impact on Student Athlete's Time: None.
Position Statement(s)
Academics/Eligibility/Compliance Cabinet: The cabinet
unanimously supports Proposal No. 2005-104. This proposal provides institutions
with a means to avoid spending an excessive amount of time on the completion of
paperwork for student-athletes who ultimately will not remain with an
institution's team. It also is consistent with the adoption of a similar
timeframe for placing student-athletes on the squad list.
Championships/Competition Cabinet: The cabinet reviewed
Proposal No. 2004-104, the cabinet agreed to oppose the proposal as written
because the intent of the drug-testing program is to protect the health and
safety of the student-athletes and to deter the use of substances to gain a
competitive advantage. The cabinet expressed appreciation for the added burden
on administrators to have those student-athletes who are trying out for the
team sign the drug-testing consent form; however, it believes the burden is
outweighed by the increased risk of performance enhancing drug use by
student-athletes who are not held to the same standard of compliance with the
NCAA drug-testing rules as are other student-athletes during this time frame.
Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of
Sports: The committee opposes NCAA Proposal No. 2005-104 as presented.
With an appreciation of the added burden on administrators to have those
student-athletes who are trying out for the team sign the drug-testing consent
form, the committee feels this is outweighed by the increased risk of
performance enhancing drug use by athletes who are not held to the same
standard of compliance with the NCAA drug-testing rules as are other
student-athletes. The intent of the NCAA drug-testing program is to protect
health and safety and to deter the use of substances to gain a competitive
advantage. By their very nature, "tryouts" are competing for a place
on the team, and allowing them to do so without the deterrence of drug testing
places them in a competitive advantage against those returning athletes and at
risk for using harmful substances. In other health and safety matters, these
tryouts must sign a waiver for participation and receive medical coverage, as
do all student-athletes. The committee believes that athletes participating in
any practice, whether as a "tryout" or as a returning team member,
should be treated consistently as it pertains to health and safety issues,
including the policies governing drug testing.
Status: Board of Directors Consideration
Intent: To require an institution to provide information regarding
the Division I initial-eligibility standards to all recruited high school
prospective student-athletes at the earliest practical time, but no later than
the day prior to the student-athlete signing a National Letter of Intent or
written offer of admission and/or financial aid; further, to specify that a
violation of this provision is an institutional violation, but does not affect
the prospective student-athlete's eligibility.
A. Bylaws: Amend 13.3 by adding new 13.3.3., page 105,
as follows:
"13.3 ADMISSIONS AND GRADUATION DATA, AND BANNED DRUG LIST AND INITIAL-ELIGIBILITY STANDARDS
[13.3.1.1 through 13.3.2.2 unchanged.]
"13.3.3 Notification of Initial-Eligibility Standards. Member institutions shall provide to high school prospects and their parents or legal guardians information regarding the initial-eligibility standards contained in Bylaw 14.3. The information shall be provided at the earliest opportunity after the institution begins recruiting the prospective student-athlete, but no later than the day prior to the prospective student-athlete's signed acceptance of the National Letter of Intent or institution's written offer of admission and/or financial aid. An institution may provide the information in hard copy or electronic form (e.g., electronic mail, link to Web site). Violations of this bylaw shall be considered institutional violations per Constitution 2.8.1; however, such violations shall not affect the prospective student-athlete's eligibility."
B. Bylaws: Amend 14.3 by adding new 14.3.6, page 158, as follows:
"14.3.6 Notification of Initial-Eligibility Standards. Member institutions shall provide to high school prospects and their parents or legal guardians information regarding the initial-eligibility standards contained in Bylaw 14.3. The information shall be provided at the earliest opportunity after the institution begins recruiting the prospective student-athlete, but no later than the day prior to the prospective student-athlete's signed acceptance of the National Letter of Intent or institution's written offer of admission and/or financial aid. An institution may provide the information in hard copy or electronic form (e.g., electronic mail, link to Web site).

Effective Date:
Proposal Category: Amendment
Topical Area: Recruiting
Rationale: The use of misadvisement,
misinformation or lack of information as mitigating circumstances in
initial-eligibility waivers has increased. Some institutions even cite misadvisement as a mitigating circumstance in multiple
waiver requests. This proposal seeks to reduce instances of lack of information
or misadvisement by requiring institutions to inform
prospective student-athletes of the initial-eligibility requirements at the
earliest opportunity during the recruiting process.
Estimated Budget Impact: Costs associated with the preparation and
distribution of notification materials.
Impact on Student Athlete's Time: None.
Status: Board of Directors Consideration
Intent: To permit an institution to provide local transportation
for a prospect to attend a home athletics contest during an unofficial visit.
A. Bylaws: Amend 13.02.13.2, page 89, as follows:
"13.02.13.2 Unofficial Visit. An unofficial visit to a member institution by a prospective student-athlete is a visit made at the prospect's own expense. The provision of any expenses or entertainment by the institution or representatives of its athletics interests shall require the visit to become an official visit, except for the following:
[13.02.13.2-(a) unchanged.]
"(b) The institution may provide transportation to the prospect, when accompanied by an institutional staff member, to view practice and competition sites and other institutional facilities located within a 30-mile radius of the institution's campus, but. tThe institution may not provide transportation to attend one of the institution's home athletics events (on or off campus) during the unofficial visit. Payment of any other transportation expenses, including providing transportation to attend one of the institution's home athletics events (on or off campus), shall be an institutional violation but shall not cause the visit to become an official visit (see Bylaw 13.6.3)."
[13.02.13.2.1 unchanged.]
B. Bylaws: Amend 13.5.1, page 108, as follows:
"13.5.1 General Restrictions. An institution may not provide transportation to a prospect other than on the official paid visit or, on an unofficial visit, to view a practice or competition site and other institutional facilities and to attend a home athletics contest at any facility (located within a 30-mile radius of the institution's campus) when accompanied by an institutional staff member. However, an institution may not provide transportation to attend one of the institution's home contests (on or off campus) during the unofficial visit. For violations of this bylaw in which the value of the offer or inducement is $100 or less, the eligibility of the individual (i.e., prospective or enrolled student-athlete) shall not be affected conditioned upon the individual repaying the value of the benefit to a charity of his or her choice. The individual, however, shall remain ineligible from the time the institution has knowledge of the receipt of the impermissible benefit until the individual repays the benefit. Violations of this bylaw remain institutional violations per Constitution 2.8.1, and documentation of the individual's repayment shall be forwarded to the enforcement services staff with the institution's self-report of the violation."
[13.5.1.1 unchanged.]
C. Bylaws: Amend 13.5.3, page 109, as follows:
"13.5.3 Transportation on Unofficial Visit. During any unofficial recruiting visit, the institution may provide the prospect with transportation to view practice and competition sites in the prospect's sport and other institutional facilities and to attend a home athletics contest at any facility (located within a 30-mile radius of the institution's campus). An institutional staff member must accompany the prospect during such a trip. Payment of any other transportation expenses, including providing transportation to attend one of the institution's home contests (on or off campus), shall be considered a violation. For violations in which the value of transportation is $100 or less, the eligibility of the individual (i.e., prospective or enrolled student-athlete) shall not be affected conditioned upon the individual repaying the value of the benefit to a charity of her or her choice. The individual, however, shall remain ineligible from the time the institution has knowledge of the receipt of the impermissible benefit until the individual repays the benefit.

Effective Date: Immediate
Proposal Category: Amendment
Topical Area: Recruiting
Rationale: Currently, an institution is permitted to transport
prospects to institutional facilities and practice or competition sites located
within a 30-mile radius. Therefore, it is logical to apply the same standard
for competition. Further, such transportation should be consistent with
transportation provided during an official visit.
Estimated Budget Impact: Minimal cost for
transportation within 30-mile radius of main campus.

Intent: In Division I-A football, to permit an institution that
participates in 12 regular season football games to be selected for
participation in a bowl game with a record of six wins and six losses, provided
the institution is a member of a conference that has an existing contractual
affiliation with the sponsoring bowl organization.
Administrative: Amend 30.9.2 by adding new 30.9.2.1, pages 406-407, as
follows:
[Division I-A Only]
"30.9.2 Contest Status. A contest shall be certified only if it serves the purpose of providing a national contest between deserving winning teams. A "deserving winning team" shall be defined as one that has won a minimum of six games against Division I-A opponents and that has more wins than losses. Tie games do not count in determining a team's won-lost record. Further, when forfeiture of a regular-season football victory is required by the Committee on Infractions, a conference or self-imposed by an institution as a result of a violation of NCAA rules, neither of the competing institutions may count that contest in satisfying the definition of a "deserving winning team."
"30.9.2.1 Exception -- 12 Game Season. An institution with a record of six wins and six losses may be selected for participation in a bowl game, provided the institution is a member of a conference that has an existing contractual affiliation with the sponsoring bowl organization and no other team in that conference qualified for bowl participation per Bylaw 30.9.2. The contract between the conference and the bowl organization must be executed prior to the first contest of that season. If an institution competes in 13 regular season contests, the institution must establish a record of seven wins, six losses, or better, to qualify for bowl selection."

Effective Date:
Proposal Category: Amendment
Topical Area: Administrative Regulation
Rationale: Conferences develop and build relationships with bowl
organizations. This exception would allow conferences to continue developing
and building those relationships, and provide certainty for the bowl
organizations, by making more teams from the contracting conference eligible to
participate in the contracting bowl. The bowl organization will evaluate when
it considers an agreement with a conference how attractive a 6-6 team would be
in its market place.
Estimated Budget Impact: May have impact on an
institution whose team qualifies under this exception, and participates in a
bowl game.
Impact on Student Athlete's Time: May have impact on
student-athletes that play for teams that fall within this exception.
Position Statement(s)
Championships/Competition Cabinet: Based on a recommendation
from the Playing and Practice Seasons Subcommittee and the Postseason Football
Licensing Subcommittee, the cabinet agreed to support the proposal as written.
The cabinet received confirmation from the sponsors that the exception only
applies to agreements negotiated between the bowls and their two primary
conference partners, not with any third party conferences with which they may
have signed contingency agreements for teams with 6-6 records. Furthermore, the
cabinet noted that the subcommittee will specifically request that all licensed
bowls notify the subcommittee on annual basis of all conferences with which
they have written contingency agreements.
Football Issues Committee: The committee supports Proposal
No. 2005-144. The proposal helps create additional postseason opportunities for
student-athletes and avoids problems caused by a conference's inability to meet
its agreements with bowl organizations.
Status: Board of Directors Consideration
Intent: To specify that commercial items with names, likenesses or
pictures of multiple student-athletes (other than highlight films or media
guides) may be sold only at the member institution at which the student-athlete
is enrolled, institutionally controlled outlets or outlets controlled by a
charitable or educational organization; further, to specify that items that
include an individual student-athlete's name, picture or likeness (other than
informational items), may not be sold.
Bylaws: Amend 12.5.1.1, pages 78-79, as follows:
"12.5.1.1 Institutional, Charitable, Education or Nonprofit Promotions. A member institution or recognized entity thereof (e.g. sorority or student government organization), a member conference or a noninstitutional charitable, educational or nonprofit agency may use a student-athlete's name, picture or appearance to support its charitable or educational activities considered incidental to the student-athlete's participation in intercollegiate athletics, provided the following conditions are met:

"(h) Any commercial items with names, likenesses or pictures of multiple student-athletes (other than highlight films or media guides per Bylaw 12.5.1.8) may be sold only at the member institution at which the student-athlete is enrolled, institutionally controlled (owned and operated) outlets or outlets controlled by the charitable or educational organization (e.g., location of the charitable or educational organization, site of charitable event during the event). Items that include an individual student-athlete's name, picture or likeness (e.g., name on jersey, name or likeness on a bobble-head doll), other than informational items (e.g., media guide, schedule cards, institutional publications), may not be sold; and"

Effective Date:
Proposal Category: Amendment
Topical Area: Amateurism
Rationale: In an effort to address concerns related to
student-athlete exploitation, an individual student-athlete's name, picture or
likeness should not be used in connection with for-sale ventures. Some examples
of these for-sale ventures include jerseys with a student-athlete's name and
bobble-head dolls that are sold in campus stores. It is important to note that
a distinction was made between producing items with a student-athlete's name,
picture or likeness for sale versus providing these items as part of a
marketing or promotional event, such as give-a-ways at games (e.g., posters,
schedule cards, bobble-head dolls). Numerous discussions with institutional
personnel and student-athletes and two national surveys were conducted of
institutional presidents and chancellors and athletics department marketing
personnel. The survey results indicate that although a majority of institutions
are not using student-athletes in this manner, institutions should be held to
the same standards as noninstitutional entities.
Therefore, individual student-athletes should not be used in for- profit
ventures in a manner that may be perceived as exploitive. Finally, no change is
being recommended in regard to allowing student-athletes to be involved in
charitable promotional activities.
Estimated Budget Impact: Potential impact on
those institutions that currently use the name, picture or likeness of
student-athletes in retail sales.
Impact on Student Athlete's Time: None.

Topical Area: Eligibility
Rationale: This proposal would allow a student-athlete to enroll in
a specific graduate degree program at an institution other than the one from
which he or she earned a four-year degree and be immediately eligible for
intercollegiate competition, provided the graduate student has remaining
eligibility. A student-athlete who earned his or her undergraduate degree has
achieved the primary goal of graduation and should be permitted to choose a

Estimated Budget Impact: None.
Impact on Student Athlete's Time: None.
Position Statement(s)
Academics/Eligibility/Compliance Cabinet: The cabinet
unanimously supports Proposal No. 2005-54. In the spirit of student-athlete
well-being, student-athletes that complete their degrees and have eligibility
remaining should be able to transfer and enroll in the graduate program of
their choice without NCAA transfer restrictions.

Intent: In men's basketball, to eliminate the requirement that an
institution publicly disclose information regarding fiduciary relationships
between the institution and prospects' coaches.
Constitution: Amend 6.5, pages 51-52, as follows:
"6.5 Financial Disclosure.
"6.5.1 Men's Basketball. In men's basketball, an institution is required to publicly disclose information regarding financial, contractual or fiduciary relationships between the institution and prospects' coaches as it relates to basketball-related activities. Such information must be provided on a form to the NCAA national office by June 15. The information shall include, but is not limited to, the following:
"(a) Fees provided by the institution and/or institutional staff member to scholastic and nonscholastic coaches for involvement in speaking engagements or camp employment; and
"(b) Game fees provided to noncollegiate club teams that participate on the institution's campus.
"An institution that provides erroneous, incomplete or inaccurate information to the national office shall be limited or prohibited from engaging in summer recruiting activities during the July evaluation period. Further, institutional staff members who refuse to furnish information required by Constitution 6.5 or who knowingly furnish the NCAA or the individual's institution false or misleading information may be subject to a charge of unethical conduct."

Effective Date: Immediate
Proposal Category: Amendment
Topical Area: Ethical Conduct/Institutional Control
Rationale: Due to the recent elimination of the exemptions for
counting exhibition contests against noncollegiate
teams toward the maximum number of contests, the only information that an
institution is likely to disclose is related fees provided by the institution

coaches for involvement in speaking engagements or camp employment. The benefit
derived from such data is minimal in relation to the resources expended to
collect and review this information.
