Status: Board of Directors Consideration
Intent: To specify that members of the Division I Presidential
Advisory Group who represent NCAA football championship subdivision conferences
shall have the authority to act on behalf of the football championship
subdivision members of the Board of Directors on legislative issues specific to
championship subdivision football.
Bylaws: Amend 21.7.8.1.3, as follows:
"21.7.8.1.3 Duties. The Division I Presidential Advisory Group shall advise and provide input to the seven members of the committee who serve on the Board of Directors. In addition, members of the Division I Presidential Advisory Group who represent football championship subdivision conferences shall have the authority to act on behalf of the football championship subdivision members of the Board of Directors on legislative issues specific to championship subdivision football in accordance with Constitution 5.3.2.2.4 (see Constitution 5.1.4.3.4)."

Effective Date: August 1, 2007
Proposal Category: Amendment
Topical Area: Committees
Rationale: Under the present representative governance structure,
only four football championship subdivision conferences have seats on the Board
of Directors. As a result, a minority of football championship subdivision
conferences control the fate of legislation that affects the entire
subdivision. Such a situation can result, and indeed has resulted, in the
defeat of legislation that enjoys the support of the majority of football
championship subdivision conferences. Moreover, the current voting procedures
used for football championship subdivision specific issues places the four
football championship subdivision representatives on the Board of Directors in
an extremely difficult position when the opinion held by the majority of football
championship subdivision conferences is contrary to the position held by the
conference represented by the Board member. This proposal addresses these
concerns and gives all football championship subdivision conferences an equal
voice in the decision-making process by providing the football championship
subdivision members of the Presidential Advisory Group the authority to act on
football championship subdivision specific legislation.
Estimated Budget Impact: None.
Impact on Student Athlete's Time: None.
Position Statement(s)
Football Issues Committee: The committee supports the proposal.

Effective Date: August 1, 2007
Proposal Category: Amendment
Topical Area: Administrative Regulations
Rationale: The adoption of NCAA Proposal No. 2006-14 eliminated the
event certification program in basketball, thereby resulting in the elimination
of the certification process for more than 90 percent of the total number of
events. Additionally, during the 2005-06 academic year, only nine events in all
other sports were certified and only 11 events sought certification for
2006-07. Given the limited number of opportunities in these other sports,
eliminating the certification process will foster competitive equity.
Estimated Budget Impact: None.
Impact on Student Athlete's Time: None.
