As you may have heard, the override of Proposal 2005-054 succeeded--with 70% of Division I favoring the override, with only 30% opposed to it. Even though the proposal has been overridden and will disappear when the 2007-08 NCAA Manual is printed, in order to maintain a consistent application of the rule through the 2006-07 academic year, NCAA 14.1.9.1 will remain in effect for student-athletes who have transferred or plan to transfer during the 2006-07 academic year.
Student-athletes who transfer on or after August 1, 2007, will be subject to the legislation in place prior to the adoption of Proposal 2005-054.
The attempt to override the Board's decision to defeat Proposal 2005-128 (which would have allowed FCS members to play 12 football games every season) failed, with only 48% of that subdivision favoring the override.
The NCAA has also posted a brief story about the Management Council's legislative action. More to come after today's Board of Directors meeting.
