2006 (July) — The NCAA Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports recommends a different sanction for student-athletes who test positive for street drugs than for those who test positive for performance-enhancing drugs. Under the new proposal, student-athletes who test positive for a street drug are to be withheld from 50 percent of competition in all sports for a first positive, a year for a second positive and lose their eligibility permanently for a third. By comparison, testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs continued to draw a year-long withholding from competition and a one-year loss of eligibility.
1982 (July) — The NCAA Council appoints the Select Committee on Athletic Problems and Concerns to examine the “serious problems affecting college athletics.” The 16-member group made up of university presidents and chancellors, distinguished citizens at-large, athletics directors, faculty athletics representatives and coaches is expected to discuss institutional control, and academic and recruiting abuses.
1982 (July) — The Collegiate Commissioners Association adopts an eight-day signing period in November for men’s basketball and a national letter signing period between December 15 and January 15 for mid-year junior college transfers in football.
