Status: Board of Directors Consideration
Intent: In women's basketball, to specify that the one permissible
telephone call in April of a prospective student-athlete's junior year in high
school may not be made until the Thursday after the conclusion of the NCAA Women's
Final Four.
Bylaws: Amend 13.1.3.1.3, as follows:
"13.1.3.1.3 Exception -- Women's Basketball. In women's basketball, telephone calls may be made to a prospective student-athlete [or the prospective student-athlete's relatives or legal guardian(s)] as follows:
"(a) one One telephone call to a prospective student-athlete [or the prospective student-athlete's relatives or legal guardian(s)] may be made during each of the months of April and of the prospective student-athlete's junior year in high school on or after the Thursday after the conclusion of the NCAA Division I Women's Final Four.
"(b) One telephone call during the month of May of the prospective student-athlete's junior year in high school.
"(c) One telephone call may be made on or after June 1 through June 20 of the prospective student-athlete's junior year in high school. and
"(d) one One telephone call may be made on or after June 21 through June 30 of the prospective student-athlete's junior year in high school.
"(e) In addition, only three Three telephone calls to a prospective student-athlete [or the prospective student-athlete's parents or legal guardian(s)] may be made during the month of July following the prospective student-athlete's junior year in high school, with no more than one telephone call per week [see Bylaw 13.1.7.2.2-(c)];.
"(f) thereafter Thereafter, staff members shall not make such one telephone calls call more than once per week.
13.1.3.1.3.2 Additional Restrictions -- Additional Communication with a Parent or Legal Guardian Who Serves on Staff of a Nonscholastic Team. An institution may not have any additional communication with a parent or legal guardian of a prospective student-athlete who serves on the staff of his or her daughter's nonscholastic team unless the parent or legal guardian also serves as a head coach of his or her daughter's scholastic team and the additional communication is unrelated to recruitment of his or her daughter."

Effective Date: Immediate
Proposal Category: Amendment
Topical Area: Recruiting
Rationale: Coaches
are pressured to call junior prospects on April 1, which in many years occurs
during the Women's Final Four. As a result, many coaches leave the Final Four
or do not attend the associated events. By precluding telephone calls to
juniors in April until Thursday after the conclusion of the Final Four, coaches
can celebrate their sport by attending all activities and still have adequate
time in the month to place permissible recruiting calls. This proposal is being
recommended as noncontroversial with an immediate effective date. The
recommendation is appropriate because broader consultation and debate are
unlikely to improve the proposal in any substantial way, significant
disagreement or alternative points of view will not be generated and there does
not appear to be a significant impact on existing legislation or proposed
legislation.
Estimated Budget Impact: None.
Impact on Student Athlete's Time: None.
Position Statement(s)
Academics/Eligibility/Compliance
Cabinet: The cabinet unanimously supports Proposal No. 2006-33.
Precluding telephone calls to juniors until the conclusion of the Division I
women's basketball championship will encourage women's basketball coaches to
remain engaged and in attendance at the sport's championship. This proposal
also is supported by the WBCA.

Mgmt Council 1st Review; Management Council approved legislation as noncontroversial. (Unanimous Voice Vote) |
Status: Board of Directors Consideration
Intent: To specify that an NCAA violation for competition while ineligible due to a conference rule violation or a violation of NCAA financial aid legislation that relates only to a violation of a conference rule shall be considered an institutional violation, but shall not affect the student-athlete's eligibility.
A. Bylaws: Amend 14.01.3, as follows:
"14.01.3 Compliance with Other NCAA and Conference Legislation. To be eligible to represent an institution in intercollegiate athletics competition, a student-athlete shall be in compliance with all applicable provisions of the constitution and bylaws of the Association and all rules and regulations of the institution and the conference(s), if any, of which the institution is a member. A violation of this bylaw that relates only to a violation of a conference rule shall be considered an institutional violation per Constitution 2.8.1; however, such a violation shall not affect the student-athlete's eligibility. Specific attention is called to legislation affecting eligibility in the following areas."
B. Bylaws: Amend 15.01.5 by adding new 15.01.5.1, as follows:
"15.01.5 Eligibility of Student-Athletes for Institutional Financial Aid. A student-athlete must meet applicable NCAA (see Bylaw 14), conference and institutional regulations to be eligible for institutional financial aid. If these regulations are met, the student-athlete may be awarded institutional financial aid during any term in which a student-athlete is in regular attendance [i.e., was enrolled initially in a minimum full-time program of studies as defined by the certifying institution during that term (see Bylaw 14.1.8.2.1.3 for final term exception and Bylaw 15.2.8 for summer-term exception)] under the following circumstances:
(a) The student-athlete is an undergraduate with eligibility remaining under Bylaw 14.2 (five-year rule);
(b) The student-athlete is a graduate student eligible under Bylaw 14.1.9; or
(c) Within six years after initial enrollment in a collegiate institution (provided the student does not receive such aid for more than five years during that period); however, after the six-year period expires, this restriction shall apply only to unearned athletics aid for which the athletics department intercedes on behalf of the student-athlete.
[Note: See Bylaw 13.1.1.3 for the financial aid implications in the prohibition against contacting student-athletes of another four-year collegiate institution without permission of that institution's athletics director. See Bylaw 14.5.5.4 for financial aid implications related to the academic eligibility of four-year college transfers.]
"15.01.5.1 Effect of Violation of Conference Rule. A violation of Bylaw 15.01.5 that relates only to a conference rule shall be considered an institutional violation per Constitution 2.8.1; however, such a violation shall not affect the student-athlete's eligibility."
C. Bylaws: Amend 15.3.1.1, as follows:
"15.3.1.1 Applicable Requirements. A student-athlete must meet applicable NCAA (see Bylaw 14), conference and institutional regulations to be eligible for institutional financial aid (see Bylaws 15.01.5 and 15.01.6). A violation of this bylaw that relates only to a violation of a conference rule shall be considered an institutional violation per Constitution 2.8.1; however, such a violation shall not affect the student-athlete's eligibility."
D. Bylaws: Amend 15.3.2.1, as follows:
"15.3.2.1 Conformance to Institutional and Conference Regulations. Financial aid awarded by an institution to a student-athlete shall conform to the rules and regulations of the awarding institution and of that institution's conference(s), if any. A violation of this bylaw that relates only to a violation of a conference rule shall be considered an institutional violation per Constitution 2.8.1; however, such a violation shall not affect the student-athlete's eligibility."
Source: NCAA Division I Academics/Eligibility/Compliance Cabinet (Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement).
Effective Date: Immediate
Proposal Category: Amendment
Topical Area: Eligibility
Rationale: Currently, in a case in which a student-athlete competes while ineligible due to a violation of a conference rule or receives financial aid contrary to a conference rule, the institution must request reinstatement of his or her NCAA eligibility even though no violation of NCAA legislation has occurred, other than by the fact that the violation of the conference rule occurred. In these cases, a conference office is in a better position to assess whether a violation of its own rules should affect eligibility and if so, what the appropriate conditions for reinstatement should be. Adoption of this proposal would have no effect on the calculation of a student-athlete's eligibility point toward the institution's Academic Progress Rate (APR). This proposal is being recommended as noncontroversial with an immediate effective date. The recommendation is appropriate because broader consultation and debate are unlikely to improve the proposal in any substantial way, significant disagreement or alternative points of view will not be generated and there does not appear to be a significant impact on existing legislation or proposed legislation.

Intent: To reduce the number of committee members on the Division I Men's and Women's Tennis Committee from 14 to 12.
Bylaws: Amend 21.7.6.3.3.5.3.19, as follows:
"21.7.6.3.3.5.3.19 Tennis Committee, Division I Men's and Women's. The Division I Men's and Women's Tennis Committee shall consist of 14 12 members. Eight Seven members of the committee shall represent men's tennis interests, and six five members shall represent women's tennis interests, including four positions allocated for men, four allocated for women and six four unallocated. No more than one of the eight seven members representing men's tennis interests shall be selected from any one of the eight men's tennis regions in Division I. No more than one of Tthe six five members representing women's tennis interests shall consist of be one member selected from each any one of the six women's tennis regions in Division I."
Source: NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet (Nominating Subcommittee).
Effective Date: Immediate
Proposal Category: Amendment
Topical Area: Committees
Rationale: There has been a change in the selection policies by which automatic qualifiers for singles and doubles are selected for the championship. The committee no longer selects these individuals according to regional affiliation. Therefore, the committee no longer needs as many members. The reduction can be handled through attrition, as four men's subcommittee members' terms are scheduled to expire September 1, 2007. Appropriate regional, subdivisional, and gender representation will be maintained.
Estimated Budget Impact: Cost savings to the Association of
approximately $12,000.

Intent: To specify that medical exceptions for the use of anabolic
agents may be made by the Executive Committee for those student-athletes with a
documented medical history demonstrating the need for regular use of such a
drug.
Administrative: Amend 31.2.3.5, as follows:
"31.2.3.5 Medical Exceptions. Exceptions for the banned-drug classes of stimulants, anabolic agents, substances banned for specific sports, diuretics and peptide hormones and analogues may be made by the Executive Committee for those student-athletes with a documented medical history demonstrating the need for regular use of such a drug."
Source: NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet (Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports).
Effective Date: Immediate
Proposal Category: Amendment
Topical Area: Executive Regulations
Rationale: Currently, there is an exception that allows for the use of specified banned substances to maintain the health of the student-athlete and support the student-athlete's academic success. In the past, anabolic agents were precluded because of the strong prohibition for the use of these substances as performance enhancers. However, testosterone, an anabolic agent, is used in the treatment of medical syndromes involving serious hormonal deficits. To prevent abuse, procedures will be mandated to allow a thorough advance review of the medical use of these substances before use of the anabolic agent. This proposal is being recommended as noncontroversial with an immediate effective date. The recommendation is appropriate because broader consultation and debate are unlikely to improve the proposal in any substantial way, significant disagreement or alternative points of view will not be generated and there does not appear to be a significant impact on existing legislation or proposed legislation.

Rationale: In addition to the required team administrator, most institutions travel with an athletic trainer, a sports information representative and a team manager. Therefore, 34 individuals is a more appropriate number to ensure that institutions are reimbursed for the necessary number of student-athletes and administrators.

Proposal Category: Amendment
Topical Area: Executive Regulations
Rationale: The increase in the official traveling party from 24 to 27 individuals more closely mirrors the average regular season squad size of 25 student-athletes. Additionally, part of this recommendation is to allow 22 student-athletes to be designated as being eligible for competition, making this consistent with the women's limitations. The proposed increase will provide for a full championship experience for more men's soccer student-athletes. This change is requested as noncontroversial legislation, inasmuch as broader consultation and debate are unlikely to improve the proposal in any substantial way, significant disagreement or alternative points of view will not be generated and there does not appear to be a significant impact on existing legislation or proposed legislation.

Intent: In men's
volleyball, to increase the official traveling party for which expenses shall
be provided for participation in the NCAA National Collegiate Championship from
18 to 21.
Administrative: Amend 31.4.6.3, as follows:
[Common provision, all divisions, divided vote]
"31.4.6.3 Official Traveling Parties. The following are the approved official traveling parties for which expenses shall be provided in accordance with the provisions of this section:
Source: NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet (Awards/Travel Policies/Bylaw 16 Subcommittee).
Effective Date: Immediate
Proposal Category: Amendment
Topical Area: Executive Regulations
Rationale: The current official traveling party limit for men's volleyball does not take into account the recent addition of the highly specialized position of the libero. As a result, institutions do not have the ability to bring additional libero student-athletes to the championship. Institutions could be at a disadvantage in the event of injury to an individual at that position. An increase in the official traveling party allows for additional student-athletes and also accommodates the additional staff, such as coaches, athletic trainers, team managers, sports information representatives and other administrators. Further, this increase makes the men's official traveling party limit consistent with the Division I women's volleyball limit. This change is requested as noncontroversial legislation, inasmuch as broader consultation and debate are unlikely to improve the proposal in any substantial way, significant disagreement or alternative points of view will not be generated and there does not appear to be a significant impact on existing legislation or proposed legislation.

Rationale: Currently, 20 individuals are permitted in the bench area at the men's water polo championship, including a squad size of up to 16 student-athletes in uniform. However, the official traveling party limit is only 19. Institutions typically have three coaches and a certified athletic trainer who accompany the team to all matches. Under the current official traveling party limit, institutions must incur the expense to bring the additional individual, yet that person is allowed to sit in the bench area. Increasing the official traveling party to 20 individuals makes this limit consistent with the limit on the number permitted in the bench area during the championship. Additionally, the increase allows institutions to reward individuals who have continually served and assisted the teams throughout the season. This change is requested as noncontroversial legislation, inasmuch as broader consultation and debate are unlikely to improve the proposal in any substantial way, significant disagreement or alternative points of view will not be generated and there does not appear to be a significant impact on existing legislation or proposed legislation.

Intent: To add anti-estrogens to the list of banned-drug classes and to specify that medical exceptions for the use of anti-estrogens may be made by the Executive Committee for those student-athletes with a documented medical history demonstrating the need for regular use of such drugs.
A. Administrative: Amend 31.2.3.4, as follows:
"31.2.3.4 Banned Drugs. The following is the list of banned-drug classes. The Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports (or a designated subcommittee) has the authority to identify specific banned drugs and exceptions within each class. The institution and student-athlete shall be held accountable for all banned-drug classes.

Rationale: Anti-estrogens include substances such as tamoxifen and clomiphene that may be used to manipulate a sample by masking anabolic steroid use. Anabolic steroid users may use anti-estrogens to minimize side effects of steroid use (the body naturally converts anabolic steroids into estrogens) and to stimulate testosterone production. Current legislation that prohibits the manipulation of urine samples covers the used of anti-estrogens; however, listing the class of anti-estrogens with the other banned classes clarifies its status. In addition, because drugs in the anti-estrogen class may be used for legitimate medical reasons, the class should be eligible for a medical exception review.

Source: NCAA Division I Management Council.
Effective Date: Immediate
Proposal Category: Amendment
Topical Area: Committees
Rationale: The Playing Rules Oversight Panel (PROP) was created to
streamline the oversight of playing rule issues, which are Association-wide.
Currently, there is no established process for selection of playing-rules
editors. The secretary-rules editor serves as the national rules interpreter
for the playing rules committee, is charged with answering questions from
coaches, officials, administrators and the general public, as well as editing
the rules book annually. The secretary-rules editors are not required to be
from a specific division or associated with an NCAA institution or conference.
Because the post is highly specialized and unique, the selection process and
the approval authority should be maintained by the PROP, which is composed of
administrators with playing rules experience. This change is requested as
controversial legislation, inasmuch as broader consultation and debate are
unlikely to improve the proposal in any substantial way, significant disagreement
or alternative points of view will not be generated and there does not appear
to be a significant impact on existing legislation or proposed legislation.
Estimated Budget Impact: None.
