NCAA Digest
A link to the online Sport Sponsorship and Demographic Form was sent via e-mail May 21 by NCAA Membership Database Manager Michelle Vaughn to directors of athletics and conference commissioners. The e-mail also included a user ID and password.
Once accessed, the online form will display only sports that an institution reported it sponsored last year, permitting the institution to confirm or edit the list of sports it will sponsor during the coming academic year.
The form also solicits information appropriate to the institution’s membership division, and requests gender and ethnicity data previously solicited separately by the NCAA research staff.
As in past years, the deadline for submitting the form is August 15.
The recommendation to the Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet is described in detail in The NCAA News’ May 18 online report of the wrestling committee’s recent meeting, accessible through the View All Association Updates link at www.NCAA.org.
Dan Guerrero, director of athletics at the University of California, Los Angeles, will chair the group.
The group is expected to make recommendations to the Division I Board of Directors by the end of 2008.
