The Pac-10 Summer Meetings are over and the Council voted to sponsor six pieces of NCAA legislation. Here are the intent statements, with the caveat that a couple of these may need some massaging:
• Lodging for home contests
Eliminates the ability for institutions to provide housing at an on- or off-campus location (e.g., hotel, motel, resort) the night before a home regular season contest in all sports unless the competition site is more than 25 miles from its campus.
• Printed media guides
Eliminates publication of printed media guides, recruiting brochures, or any sport-specific publication.
• Foreign tours
Eliminates institutional and conference foreign tours in all sports.
• Non-championship segment competition
In cross-country, field hockey, women's lacrosse, soccer, softball, and volleyball, any intercollegiate competition during the non-championship segment shall count against the maximum contest/dates of competition for the championship segment.
• Contact after financial deposit
Amends NCAA 13.4.1.2.2 to change "room or tuition" deposit to a "financial" deposit.
• Dead period exception
Enables a prospect who has signed a National Letter of Intent with the institution to make an unofficial visit to that institution during a dead period. If the prospect is ineligible to sign a National Letter or Intent, such an unofficial visit may occur if the prospect signed a financial aid agreement with the institution, signed a written offer of admission with the institution, or provided a financial deposit to the institution in response to the institution’s offer of admission.
