The Pac-10 voted to sponsor several NCAA legislative proposals. Here's an update on their status.
• 2009-13 allows track and field volunteer coaches to place and receive telephone calls involving prospects. The Legislative Council preliminarily opposes it.
• 2009-26 allows unofficial visits to occur during dead periods if a prospect has signed a NLI.
• 2009-32 would permit unlimited telephone calls to prospects during contact periods in all sports.
• 2009-41 would eliminate printing of any athletics department publication except game programs.
• 2009-43 would allow electronically transmitted correspondence with prospects beginning May 1 of the prospect's senior year of high school once a financial deposit has been received by the institution. The Legislative Council preliminarily supports it.
• 2009-73 pretty much precludes lodging student-athletes at a hotel the night before a home game. The Pac-10 voted in October to withdraw it.
• 2009-82 limits the number of women's rowers who can compete on an outside team foreign tour. The legislation originally limited this number to no more than 2; in October, we modified the proposal to raise the limit to no more than 4.
• 2009-87, which precludes institutional or conference foreign tours, has been withdrawn.
The Pac-10 also voted to sponsor legislation to count non-traditional segment competition against traditional segment limits, but withdrew it before publication of the POPL.
