The report isn't available yet, but the NCAA web site has a story. Among the highlights of yesterday's Board meeting:
• The Board took no action on Proposal 2008-046 (which adds a 14th week to the beginning of the baseball season) and Proposal 2008-059 (which adds sand volleyball to the list of emerging sports for women). Last month, the Legislative Council sustained its action approving both measures. Both proposals will now go to a vote of the Division I membership at the 2010 NCAA Convention in Atlanta. To overturn the measures, a five-eighths majority of those present and voting must vote to override the action of the Legislative Council.
• The Board reviewed a series of recommendations from the Basketball Academic Enhancement Group, accepted the group’s final report (there's also a summary), and is expected to sponsor specific legislative proposals related to the recommendations for consideration in the 2009-10 legislative cycle. The specific proposals will be developed in the next few months and introduced by the Board in October.
• Continuing the efforts to improve dialog between men's basketball coaches and campus officials, the Board decided to ask the NABC executive director to report twice a year to the Board on the progress of the sport and any new issues and challenges faced by the coaches.
