Section One
Actions taken on items considered only by the
Board of Directors.
1. Update from
the Knight Commission. [Reference BD Supplement No. 2.]
BOARD ACTIONS:
a. Received a presentation from the
co-chairman of the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics and learned
that since its establishment in 1989, the commission has continued to “monitor and
report on progress in increasing presidential control, academic integrity,
financial integrity and independent certification of athletic program”;
and
b. Heard that the commission supports
implementation of a number of the initiatives identified by the Presidential
Task Force on the Future of Division I Intercollegiate Athletics, especially in
the areas of fiscal responsibility and presidential leadership, and hopes to
continue to play a supportive, yet critical role, with regard to
intercollegiate athletics.
2. Report of the
Division I Presidential Advisory Group’s (PAG) January 3, 2007,
conference call. [Reference BD Supplement No. 7.]
BOARD ACTION: Received a report from the Division I Presidential
Advisory Group regarding the January 3, 2007, conference call and heard
comments from the group’s chair throughout the meeting regarding
pertinent points raised by the group.
3. Report
from the Committee on Academic Performance (CAP) January 4-5 meeting.
[Reference BD Supplement No. 8.]
BOARD ACTION:
a. Occasion-Two
Historical-Penalties.
(1) Reviewed
a recommendation from the Committee on Academic Performance to establish a two-tiered
structure for Occasion-Two Historical-Penalties, which emphasizes improvement
and imposes significant penalties in the areas of financial aid and playing and
practice seasons, the terms which are set forth below:
(a) First
tier of penalties. Applies
to teams that demonstrate significant improvement yet do not favorably meet a
second review factor. (e.g., by sport review or institutional
characteristics.).
i. Such
teams would be subject to scholarship sanctions of either a 5 percent reduction
in the amount of aid awarded or the total number of contemporaneous penalties
earned, whichever is greater.
ii. Further,
such teams shall be subject to a reduction of four hours of practice time per week,
which must be replaced by four hours of additional academic-support activities.
(b) Second
tier of penalties. Applies
to teams that do not meet the “improvement review.”
i. Such
teams would be subject to scholarship sanctions of either a ten percent
reduction in the total amount of aid awarded or the total number of
contemporaneous penalties earned, whichever is greater.
ii. Additionally,
such teams shall be subject to a reduction of practice time of one full day per
week and that time shall be replaced with academic-related activities.
(2) Approved
a motion to establish the recommended Occasion-Two Historical-Penalty
Structure. (Unanimous Voice Vote.)
b. NCAA
Division I Academic Performance Program (APP) Supplemental Support Fund.
(1) Reviewed
a recommendation from the committee to establish the Division I Academic
Performance Program (APP) Supplemental Support Fund, which is intended to
foster student-athlete academic success at limited-resource institutions by
reallocating the 4.25 percent annual incremental increase to the NCAA Division
I Academic Enhancement Fund to award to grant recipients annually. [Note: Monies allocated to the fund but not
awarded will be returned to the fund annually for general distribution.]
(2) Learned
that through an applicant process, grants will be awarded to institutions that
identify innovative solutions to barriers preventing student-athletes’
retention and progress toward degree completion and that such progress will be
measured by team APR and GSR improvement.
(3) Approved
a motion to table consideration of the establishment of this supplemental
support program until the April 2007 Board of Directors meeting to allow time
to receive feedback from the PAG and other constituent groups.
[Vote: For 9:
4. Update on the
efforts of the Baseball Enhancement Working Group.
[Reference BD Supplement No. 9.]
BOARD ACTIONS:
a. Received a report on the group’s
efforts to address the Board’s concerns regarding academic performance in
baseball by reviewing such factors as the one-time transfer exception, financial
aid limits, playing and practice season limits and the overall culture of the
sport;
b. Learned that preliminary findings
appear to show baseball student-athletes have fairly strong academic
backgrounds but make slow progress toward a degree and have a tendency to
change schools or leave college early and often; and
c. Heard that the group is exploring
options to address concerns about student-athlete movement, credit-hour
production and two-year college transfer issues, which will be shared with the
Board of Directors at its April meeting.
5. Review of
initiatives recommended from the Presidential Task Force on the Future of
Division I Intercollegiate Athletics. [Reference BD
Supplement No. 10.]
