TERRORIST ATTACKS
NCAA develops responses to September 11-related issues
Since September 11, a number of issues have arisen about NCAA operating policies and procedures.
Though seemingly trivial compared to the challenges facing all Americans because of the tragedy, athletics administrators still have questions about what to do about the fall playing season, postseason play, recruiting calendars and numerous other situations that may warrant a waiver of the normal application of NCAA legislation.
The NCAA Executive Committee and other groups have addressed some of those questions, while others continue to be deliberated. A summary of the situation appears on page 1.
DIVISION II
Championships panel agrees on spring sports festival for 2004
The Division II Championships Committee has agreed to conduct a spring sports festival in mid-May 2004 that will include the following championships: men's and women's golf, women's lacrosse, women's softball, and men's and women's tennis.
Five spring championships -- baseball, men's lacrosse, women's rowing and men's and women's outdoor track -- will not be part of the first festival.
The spring sports festival will be conducted once every four years. Committee Chair Lisa Colvin said the group will continue to explore the possibility of festivals for winter and fall sports.
Tom Jacobs, NCAA director of championships and liaison to the Division II Championships Committee, said that more than 600 student-athletes will participate.

Sports medicine
Sports medicine handbook mailed to member institutions
The 2001-02 NCAA Sports Medicine Handbook has been mailed to administrators at NCAA member institutions.
The 92-page book is designed to keep member institutions apprised about trends and developments in sports medicine. Revisions of NCAA sports medicine guidelines also are included.
Administrators who received books include athletics directors, CHAMPS/Life Skills coordinators, conference commissioners, faculty athletics representatives, head athletic trainers, head team physicians, liaisons to student-athlete advisory committees and senior woman administrators.
Members may acquire additional books for $6.50 through NCAA publishing ($13 for nonmembers), or they may view and print all or part of the book at no charge by using the "view" option in the publications section of NCAA Online.

Volleyball
Response sought on possible women's volleyball rules changes
The newly formed NCAA Women's Volleyball Rules Committee is seeking input from the membership on potential rules changes. All women's volleyball head coaches will be sent a survey in mid-October.
The completed survey should be faxed (317/917-6800) or mailed (NCAA, P.O. Box 6222, Indianapolis, Indiana 46206-6222) to Keri A. Potts at the national office by November 22. The committee will review the results of the survey at its February 2002 meeting.
