ISSUE: NCAA Bylaw 18.4.1.5.1 Duration of Ineligibility for
Breach of Protocol.
|
|
Committee
Action:
|
|
Amend NCAA Bylaw 18.4.1.5.1 (ineligibility for use
of banned drugs – durations of ineligibility) to include language that
defines a student-athlete breach of drug-testing protocol (e.g., no-show,
tampering with a sample) as the same as a positive test for a non-street
drug, effective August 2005.

ISSUE: Football Preseason Acclimatization Model
– Research and Educational Materials.
|
|
Committee
Action:
|
|
Recent data suggests that the newly adopted football preseason model
has benefits for the health and safety of student-athletes. It is suggested that Divisions II and
III prepare and distribute educational materials to educate the member
institutions on acclimatization, hydration, recovery and emergency care
guidelines prior to the beginning of the 2004 preseason period.
|
|
Management Council Action:
|
|
The
Council discussed the preseason acclimatization model for football, noting
its desire for additional Division III research and distribution of
educational materials prior to the 2004 preseason. The Council supports an environmental
conditions/injury tracking study involving 25 Division III football playing
institutions in comparison to four institutions from 2003. The study would assess injury rates
and environmental conditions in five different regions with five schools in
each region. The cost (25 institutions
at approximately $40,000) for the additional Division III research would be
split between the Association-wide CSMAS budget and Division III budget.

Committee
Action:
|
|
|
At the
direction of the NCAA Executive Committee, the committee reviewed a draft
survey to assess the campus climate of institutions currently using Native
American mascots, nicknames and logos. The committee noted that the
information requested in the new survey already has been gathered by the MOIC
during its development of the 2002 report; therefore, it will recommend to
the NCAA Executive Committee on Gender and Diversity Issues that the process
not be repeated and the survey not sent.

|
|
|
Committee
Action:
|
|
|
The
committee noted the positions taken by the NCAA president and the Executive
Committee Subcommittee on Gender and Diversity Issues to eliminate NCAA
funding for NYSP. The committee
believes that the Association’s strategic plan; the long-standing use
of NCAA member institution campuses as sites for NYSP activities; and that
the program impacts almost 80,000 individuals by providing access to over 200
campuses are factors to justify continued funding. The committee encourages the parties
to work toward a resolution that recognizes the importance of a continued
NCAA-NYSP relationship.
