The NCAA News - News & Features

Publication of proposed legislation to be mailed August 15

The publication will feature 87 proposals properly submitted by the membership. The number of membership proposals was revised from 90 -- the total reported in the July 22 issue of The NCAA News -- to 87 following a recount by the NCAA legislative services staff.

Those 87 proposals were reviewed July 22-24 by the NCAA Legislative Review Committee.

The Initial Publication of Proposed Legislation will be mailed to chief executive officers, faculty athletics representatives, directors of athletics and senior woman administrators at NCAA institutions. Member conferences, affiliated members and corresponding members also receive copies.

The 87 proposals will be presented in the booklet in the order in which they would appear, if adopted, in the NCAA Manual. They will not necessarily appear in the order in which they might eventually be published in the Official Notice of the Convention.

As usual, the proposals carry a statement of intent and the sponsor's statement of rationale. Each also lists a primary contact person identified by the sponsor as the individual who will receive suggestions for changes in or requests to withdraw a proposal.

The intent statements for the proposals will be published in the August 19 issue of The NCAA News.
