REPORT OF THE
MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS
COMMITTEE
ACTION ITEM.
Memorial
Resolutions Committee.
1. Recommendation. Draft an appropriate legislative proposal to
eliminate the Association-wide NCAA Memorial Resolutions Committee by deleting
NCAA Bylaw 21.1.4; reassign the committee’s duties set forth in Bylaw 21.1.4.2
to the Executive Committee; and providing a report during the opening business
session of the annual Convention (Constitution 5.1.2.3.1).
Effective
date:
Immediately.
2. Rationale. The duties and responsibilities currently
performed by the committee are important to the Association. However, the collection of data is primarily
an NCAA staff function. The role and
involvement of the committee is limited to the chair reading the names at the
opening business session at the Convention.
Reassigning the duties to the Executive Committee will continue the
tradition of compiling a list of the names of individuals associated with
intercollegiate athletics who died during the year and recognizing them during
the opening business session of the Convention.
3. Budget Impact. Overall cost savings to the Association due
to the elimination of travel costs for three committee members for one meeting
per year.
