INFORMATION

1. |
ISSUE: |
Amendments
to the Criteria for Certified and/or Exempted Events. |
|
Committee’s Action: |
||
|
|
The
committee forwarded recommendations to the Division I committee(s)
responsible for the certification of events (e.g., postseason bowl games,
summer basketball leagues). The
emphasis of the recommendations was to ban the certification or scheduling of
any such events at venues with gambling activities. Although Division III does not have certified or
exempted events, the committee wanted the Management Council to be aware of
its proposals. (1) That such events or
contests shall not be conducted on a property that has gambling activities
(i.e., this would expand the current criteria by including casinos that do
not have a sports book). (2) That participants
representing the Association (i.e., member institutions, student-athletes,
institutional and conference staff members, and/or event game officials) may
not receive lodging or attend any organized activity (e.g., team meals, entertainment
attraction) at a casino or other venue where there are gambling activities
(e.g., trips to dog or horse racing tracks). (3) That gambling education
sessions be provided to participating prospective or enrolled student-athletes
by the sponsoring agency.
Further, that acceptance of sponsorship or advertising arrangements of
any form from gambling entities be prohibited. [Note: Division I postseason bowl games already are
prohibited from accepting sponsorship from a gambling entity.] (4) That certified events
comprised of teams of prospective student-athletes only (e.g., certified
summer tournaments) may not be conducted in a metropolitan area where there
is an open or legal sports book. |

Management Council Action: |
||
|
|
Accepted the information, noting that the inclusion of “in a
metropolitan area” is intended to be broad to keep prospective
student-athletes completely away from locales with open legal sports books. |
|
2. |
ISSUE: |
Amendments
to Sportsmanship Award Nomination Form. |
|
Committee’s Action: |
||
|
|
The
committee approved amendments that include institutional staff members on the
nomination form. As a matter of
policy, staff members known to have been found in violation of the NCAA
principle of unethical conduct by the divisional Committees on Infractions
shall be subject to disqualification. |

National
Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC). |
|
Committee’s Action: |

response to concerns expressed by the committee subsequent to its appearance
before the committee in May 2000. |

|
|
Accepted the information. |

|
Committee’s Action: |

The

the divisional governance groups for the 2002-03 and 2003-04 academic
years. The Sportsmanship Tool
Kit (i.e., CD Rom) shall be mailed to the NCAA membership in November
