Subcommittee
• Effective: Immediate
• In FCS, to specify that in-person contact with a PSA who is
participating in an all-star contest shall not be made from the
time the PSA arrives in the locale of the contest until he returns
to his home or to his educational institution. Coaches may not
attend an all-star contest or other activities associated with such
a contest. (practice, banquet, clinic)
• Rationale: Promotes healthy recruiting environment, protects the
integrity of the recruiting process by minimizing influences of
third parties. Maintains focus regular season as sites for evals.
• Source: D1 BOD (PAG, LC, FRS)
• Effective: Immediate
• In FCS, to permit an institution to provide meals for up to four
family members accompanying a PSA.
• Rationale: Used to be able to pay for 2 parents/legal
guardians – this excludes other family members who
accompany the PSA (aunts, siblings). Flexibility to provide others
meals w/out requiring a waiver. Limited additional expense.
• Source: DI BOD (PAG, LC, FRS)
• Effective: Immediate
• In FCS, to permit a student-athlete to participate in eight hours
per week of required weight-training, condition and review of
practice and game film (not to exceed two hours per week)
during an eight-week period during the summer.
• Have the same academic requirements as MBB/WBB.
• Must be in summer school or be meeting academic thresholds.
• Rationale: Enhances S/A & Coach relationship. Provides athletic
and academic improvement opportunities, which contributes to
retention.
• Source: DI BOD (LC)
• Effective: Immediate
• In MBB/WBB to eliminate the evaluation period for certified
nonscholarship events that may occur in May in the event of
conflicts with weekends in April.
• Rationale: April recruiting weekends may conflict with Easter or
the PSA/SAT test, and May is busy for coaches, so they are
limiting evals at nonscholarship events to one weekend in April,
if necessary, rather then extending the evals into May.
• Source: Committee of Competitive Safeguards/Medical
• Effective Date: August 1, 2014
• Member institution shall submit data detailing student-athlete
catastrophic fatalities, near fatalities, and catastrophic injuries
to the NCAA on an annual basis.
• Rationale: Most institutions already report. Knowing the details
is critical to implementing prevention interventions. Would be
captured through an online portal.
• Source: Committee of Competitive Safeguards/Medical
• Effective: August 1, 2014
• Institutional shall designate a physician to serve as team
physician for each of it’s teams, shall be a medical doctor or
osteopathic physician with a current license in good standing to
practice medicine in the state in which the institution is located;
and he/she shall be authorized to oversee the medical services
for injuries and illnesses incidental to S/A’s participation.
• Rationale: Student-athlete Well-Being – institution must provide
a safe environment for S/A’s. A physical or his/her designee is
required for medical exams and concussion return to play
legislation. This would ensure institutions are meeting minimal
requirements.
• Source: Committee of Competitive Safeguards/Medical
• Effective: August 1, 2014
• To specify that each head coach and any other coach (strength)
who is employed full time by the institution shall maintain current
certification in first aid, cpr, and aed use.
• Rationale: The certification requirement is intended to provide
initial care until more skilled responders arrive. It is not intended
to replace appropriate medical care and coverage. The growth
of practice opportunities that includes year round exposures
and extensive out-of-season sessions has greatly increased the
likelihood that coaches will be the first to respond.
• Source: Committee of Competitive Safeguards/Medical
• Effective: August 1, 2014
• To specify that any individual who designs, conducts or monitors
strength and conditioning activities is required to maintain
strength and condition coach certification through a nationally
recognized certification program.
• Rationale: Based on the number of sudden deaths that have
occurred during conditioning sessions, a minimum standard is
appropriate.
• Source: Committee of Competitive Safeguards/Medical
• Effective: August 1, 2014
• In football, to require at least three continuous hours of recovery
time for S/A’s between any sessions occurring during the
preseason practice period and after the five day
acclimatization period.
• Rationale: Research supports heat acclimatization over a 14
day period. Three hours generally provides adequate recovery
time.
• Source: Committee of Competitive Safeguards/Medical
• Effective: August 1, 2014
• To specify that a S/A who, as a result of a drug test
administered by the NCAA, is found to have used a substance in
the banned drug class of street drugs, shall be charged with the
loss of competition during a minimum of 50% of a season in all
sports.
• The committee recommended a reduction in the penalty for a
marijuana positive drug test, as it us bit a performance
enhancer. Allows institutions to intervene and assistant S/A
behavior. A 50% withholding is still one of the most severe
standards of any sports-governing body.
• Effective August 1, 2014
• To add women’s triathlon as an emerging sport for women and
establishes legislation related to the sport.
• Intent: To limit printed recruiting material that may be provided
to PSA’s to
• general correspondence (no restrictions on design/content, except for
size),
• educational material provided by the NCAA,
• nonathletics institutional publications
• Questionnaires
• Camp/clinic information
• To specify that there are no content restrictions on attachments
to electronic correspondence, except that video and audio
materials may not be created for recruiting purposes and may
not be personalized to include a PSA’s name/likeness.
• Recruiting Materials and Electronic correspondence may not be
send until September 1st at the beginning of the junior year.
MBB is currently June 15th.
• Size restrictions on paper and envelopes. Other restrictions are
gone.
• Camp brochure restrictions are gone.
• Intent: In sports other than basketball, xc/track, football, and
swimming/diving –
• To specify that telephone calls to an individual may be made at an
institution’s discretion beginning September 1st at the beginning of his/her
junior year in HS
• To permit any form of electronic correspondence (email, text) to be sent to
a PSA
• Swimming remains July 1st after Junior year. After that, calls
may not be made more than once per week.
• XC/Track remains July 1st after Junior year. After that, there is
no limit for calls during a contact period.
• Cannot text in track and swimming.
• Intent: To permit an institution to provide student-athlete
financial aid that includes a board allowance that consists of
three meals per day or the institution’s maximum meal plan that
is available to all students, whichever is greater.
• Rationale: Some institutions are no longer offer meal plans that
are based on a specific number of meals (21 per week).
Permits S/A’s who dine in institutional facilities to receive the
same meal plan benefits that are available to other students.
• To eliminate the certification requirements related to institutional
financial aid. (We not longer have to certify in writing that the
award was granted without regard to athletics ability –
noncounter form)
• Rationale: The proposed elimination of noncounter certification
form is intended to ease the burden of having the FAR and FA
certify it was awarded without regard to eligibility.
• Intent: To eliminate the requirement that an institution’s athletics
director compile and sign the squad list, further, to specify that
the AD may designate another individual to sign the form for
each sport.
• Intent: To specify that an institutional staff member or any other
individual outside the institution with whom the institution has
made arrangements must count against coaching limits in the
applicable sport as soon as the individual participates (in any
manner) in:
• Providing technical or tactical instruction related to the sport to a studentathlete at any time
• Making or assisting in making tactical decisions related to the sport during
on-court or on-field practice or competition
• Any off-campus recruiting activities.
• Rationale: More clearly identifies and defines those actions that
will result in an individual being included In the coaching
limitations in a particular sport.
• Intent: To specify that an institution may provide meals to S/A’s
incidental to practice activities during the playing season and
while a S/A is representing the institution in noncompetitive
events (SACC, media appearances); further to specify that an
institution may provide snacks to S/A’s at any time.
• Rationale: This proposal permits an institution to provide meals
to all student-athletes (scholarship and nonscholarship) at its
discretion in conjunction with practice activities during the
playing season and noncompetitive events. In addition, it will
allow institutions to provide snacks to student-athletes at their
discretion.
