The report of this month's Board of Directors meeting isn't posted yet, but many Bothans gave their lives to get us the following information.
∆ As we previously reported, the Board held firm (unanimously so) on its position on Proposal 2007-030-C.
∆ The Board adopted several proposals, using their emergency authority, and all are effective immediately:
• Proposal 2008-005* fiddles with the composition of the Football Issues Committee and Football Championship Committee.
• Proposal 2008-007* defines an "education-impacting disability" and substitutes that term for "learning disabilities" when used in the NCAA lexicon.
• Proposal 2008-008* tinkers with the membership of the Committee on Academic Performance.
The override period for these three proposals ends on October 6, 2008.
∆ Proposals PP-2008-009 and PP-2008-010 alter a couple of polices and procedures of the enforcement process. (These two aren't on LSDBi yet; we'll update this page when those links appear.)
∆ Proposal 2007-109, having to do with institutional videographers and photographers at NCAA events, remains on the table pending further attempts to reach a compromise.
∆ And the Board will sponsor Proposal 2008-009, which requires institutions to submit to the NCAA annually financial data detailing operating revenues, expenses, and capital related to their intercollegiate athletics programs. This would be a condition and obligation of membership in the NCAA, and failure to do so would keep the institution and its student-athletes out of all NCAA Championships.
