Educational Policies and Planning Committee STATEMENT ON INTERCOLLIIGIATE ATHLETICS Made by University Chief Executive Officers following meetings held in Miami, Florida, March 1-2, 1985 A group of university presidents, incluiing members from all nine athleti conferences as well as independent institutions in Division I-A of the NCAA has met to consider the relationship between our academic and athletic program in the context of the NCAA's recent action granting ‘a measure of autonomy t schools competing in Division I-A. We emphasize our collective belief that the integrity of academic institution: rests fundamentally upon the missions of teeching and research, and that th “ presidents of our colleges and universities play a crucial role in protecting tha‘ integrity. Although some progress toward reform within the NCAA has been made in recent years, much remains to be done. We believe that this work should be carried forward within the newly-modified structure of the NCAA. Essential to progress are further reforms that reflect the primacy of our academic ‘priorities. We must improve rule making and enforcement, strengthen the system of governance as it affects universities with jarge programs of intercollegiate athletics, and eliminate practices that lead to the exploitation of student athletes or are otherwise detrimental to their education. Having considered many options, we now respectfully request our colleagues in the NCAA, especially the President's Commission created last year, to consider for implementation: the following specific recommendations: That a Convention of Division I-A institutions, the first with the new DIVISICN I-A CONVENTION autonomy, be held as soon as possible, pieferably in conjunction with the already scheduled special convention of tiie NCAA June 21-22, 1985, and that all presidents of Division I-A institutions be urged to attend. ; GOVERNANCE OF DIVISION I-A That the eleven Division I-A members of the NCAA Presidents’ Commission be requested to develop recomiiendations, for consideration by the Division I-A Convention, to create a Board of Presidents of Division I-A member institutions which would exorcise such power as may be delegated by the Convention for effective operation within the newly granted autonomy. We suggest that the fol lowing issues be among those to be considered oo the Division I-A Corvention and/or the Board eo Presidents: ACADEMIC CONCERNS 5 That freshmen be ineligible to participite in those varsity sports which create substantial threats to successful academic adjustment, such as football and basketball. ; ah That there be no weakening of the requirements governing initial eligibility of student athletes in Division I-A. While we support the efforts of the NCAA working with ovher associations to recast the grade point average and test score requirements into a predictor of academic success, we believe minimum standards as to test scores and : grade point average should be required. That no playing seasons be lengthened further, and that consideration be given to shortening the length of playing seasons and reducing the number ‘of contests to provitle student athletes with a@ more appropriate balance between academic and athletic activities. RECRUITMENT Thet the recruiting practices permittec by the NCAA be revised with the purpose of relieving the pressure on prospective student athletes. RULES AND ENFORCEMENT 4 That the Constitution, Bylaws and Rules of the NCAA be simplified to promote clarity and good sense ani! to provide for enforcement procedures consistent with the spirit of the rules. That consideration be given to esiablis.iing some form of periodic audit by which athletic programs ar: reviewed to achieve greater compliance with the existing rules and to ensure that presidents, faculties and governing boards are better informed of the. problems within their own athletic programs und aware of possibilities for improvement based on accepted principies of good practice. (Note: The reader should note that although all of these recommendations have our overwhelming support and most our unanimous endorsement, a few of us could not attend the entire meeting. Attached is a list of those in attendance.)
