3 NCAA Division I Council-Governance Publication of Proposed Legislation The Council-Governance POPL presents all proposed amendments to the NCAA legislation in areas of Council governance that have been properly sponsored for the legislative cycle. The publication is produced directly from the Legislative Services Database for the Internet (LSDBi) each time it is downloaded. Therefore, the content of the publication may change each time it is accessed from the NCAA webpage. As modifications or corrections are made to proposals during the sponsor modification period, updates will be made to LSDBi and those changes will be reflected in the POPL. Because the POPL is generated directly from LSDBi each time it is downloaded, there is no table of contents or index; however, users may use the "Bookmark" feature of the Adobe Reader to quickly scan the proposal numbers and titles and go directly to those proposals within the document. Users may also use the "Search" feature to find particular proposals. The proposals are presented by topical area by bylaw numbers and by proposal number within topical areas. Division I Council-Governance Legislative Process for the Legislative Cycle The following provides key deadlines and information regarding the NCAA Division I Council-governance legislative process. For more information regarding the legislative process, see NCAA Division I Constitution September 1 (5 p.m. Eastern time): Deadline for conference-sponsored, nonautonomy proposals. Only the 32 multisport conferences may submit proposals into the legislative cycle. Decisions on whether a proposal should be placed in the autonomy legislative process or Council-governance legislative process are initially determined by NCAA staff in consultation with the sponsoring conference(s). If agreement is not reached, the NCAA Division I Board of Directors has authority to determine if a proposal is "out of order." September 21: Deadline for Council standing committees (e.g., Football Oversight) and other committees that report to the Council (e.g., Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports) to provide feedback on submitted proposals to NCAA Division I Legislative Committee.

7 Organization No ORGANIZATION -- BOARD OF GOVERNORS -- INDEPENDENT MEMBERS Intent: To amend legislation related to the NCAA Board of Governors, as follows: (1) Increase the number of members from 20 to 25 by adding five independent voting members; (2) Define an independent member; (3) Specify that an independent member shall be appointed to a three-year term that is renewable for an additional three-year term, and that an independent member who has served two terms shall not serve further; (4) Specify that the Board of Governors shall issue a call for nominations when a vacancy for an independent member occurs; and (5) Specify that the Board of Governors shall serve as the final authority for the selection of and additional duties assigned to independent members. A. Constitution: Amend 4.02, as follows: 4.02 Definitions and Applications. [ through unchanged.] [Dominant provision, all divisions, common vote] Independent Member of the Board of Governors. An independent member of the Board of Governors shall be an individual who is not salaried by an NCAA member institution, conference or affiliated member, and shall be verified as independent by the Board of Governors. [ through renumbered as through , unchanged.] B. Constitution: Amend 4.1, as follows: 4.1 Board of Governors. [Dominant provision, all divisions, common vote] Composition. The Board of Governors shall consist of members. The NCAA president and the chairs of the Division I Council and the Division II and Division III Management Councils shall be ex officio nonvoting members, except that the NCAA president is permitted to vote in the case of a tie among the voting members of the Board of Governors present and voting. The other voting members of the Board of Governors shall include: [4.1.1-(a) through (c) unchanged.] (d) Two Division II chancellors or presidents from the Division II Presidents Council; and (e) Two Division III chancellors or presidents from the Division III Presidents Council; and (f) Five independent members (see Constitution ) Duties and Responsibilities. The Board of Governors shall: [4.1.2-(a) through (k) unchanged.] (l) Review and coordinate the catastrophic-injury and professional career insurance (disabling injury/illness) programs; and (m) Compile the names of those individuals associated with intercollegiate athletics who died during the year immediately preceding the annual Convention; (n) Issue a call for nominations when a vacancy for an independent member occurs on the Board of Governors; and (o) Serve as the final authority for the selection of and additional duties assigned to independent members of the Board of Governors Election/Term of Office. [ unchanged.] Terms Term of Office. (a) President or Chancellor Members. The terms of service office of president or chancellor members of the Board of Governors shall coincide with their service on the applicable divisional presidential governing body, unless otherwise specified by that governing body. Date Printed: 11/18/2018 1

8 (b) Independent Members. An independent member of the Board of Governors shall be appointed to a threeyear term that is renewable for an additional three-year term. An independent member who has served two terms shall not serve further on the Board of Governors. [ unchanged.] Source: NCAA Board of Governors (Commission on College Basketball Association-Wide Issues Topical Working Group) Effective Date: August 1, 2019 Topical Area: Organization Rationale: The Commission on College Basketball recommended that the NCAA restructure its highest governance body, the Board of Governors, to include at least five independent members with the experience, stature and objectivity to assist the NCAA in re-establishing itself as an effective, respected leader and regulator of college sports. One independent member will also serve on the Board of Governors Executive Committee. The current Board of Governors includes 16 institutional presidents or chancellors representing each division as voting members, the chairs of the Division I Council and the Division II and III Management Councils as ex-officio nonvoting members, and the NCAA president (who may vote in case of a tie). Like public companies, major nonprofit associations typically include outside board members to provide objectivity, relevant experience, perspective and wisdom. Board members with those qualities will provide valuable insight to the NCAA as it works towards the restoration of public confidence in college basketball and college sports in general. The Board of Governors will issue a formal call for nominations to fill vacancies; appoint the Board of Governors Executive Committee as the nominating committee; and serve as the final authority for the selection of and additional duties assigned to independent members. Estimated Budget Impact: $25,000 each fiscal year [committee expenses (e.g., travel, hotel, per diem) for the five independent members to attend Board of Governors in-person meetings (four times per year)]. Impact on Student-Athlete's Time (Academic and/or Athletics):. Jul 30, 2018: Aug 7, 2018: Sponsored by the Board of Governors NCAA Membership No NCAA MEMBERSHIP -- CONDITIONS AND OBLIGATIONS OF MEMBERS -- EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION REVIEW Intent: To specify that an active member institution and a member conference shall complete an equity, diversity and inclusion review at least once every five years and provide written confirmation of completion to the national office. A. Constitution: Amend 3.2, as follows: 3.2 Active Membership. [3.2.1 through unchanged.] Conditions and Obligations of Membership. [ through unchanged.] Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Review. An active member institution shall complete an equity, diversity and inclusion review at least once every five years and provide written confirmation of completion to the national office.

[ unchanged.] Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Review. A member conference shall complete an equity, diversity and inclusion review at least once every five years and provide written confirmation of completion to the national office. [ through renumbered as through , unchanged.] [3.3.5 through unchanged.] Source: NCAA Division I Council (Strategic Vision and Planning Committee) Effective Date: August 1, 2019 Topical Area: NCAA Membership Rationale: The Division I membership is committed to a having a diverse and inclusive culture. As noted in the Presidential Pledge and Commitment to Promoting Diversity and Gender Equity in Intercollegiate Athletics, institutions and conferences have committed to establishing initiatives for achieving ethnic and racial diversity, gender equity and inclusion. Further, the pledge outlined a commitment to engage in regular diversity, inclusion and equity reviews to inform campus policy and diversity initiatives. Divisions II and III have a mechanism in place for equity, diversity and inclusion reviews once every five years through their respective NCAA mandated selfstudy instruments. This proposal will hold Division I institutions and conferences to the same standard, but will do so by way of an institution-driven and monitored process. Each institution and conference will determine how to conduct the review and determine what follow up actions might be needed. The only document shared with the national office will be the written confirmation that the review has been completed once every five years. Estimated Budget Impact: Costs associated with completing the review. Impact on Student-Athlete's Time (Academic and/or Athletics):. Sep 28, 2018: Legislative Authority and Process No LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY AND PROCESS -- DIVISION I COUNCIL-GOVERNANCE PROCESS -- LEGISLATIVE CONCEPTS REQUIREMENT Intent: To specify that: (a) A conference must submit a legislative concept under consideration for sponsorship as an amendment to the national office by 5 p.m. Eastern time July 15; (b) A conference shall submit an amendment by November 1; and (c) A conference may sponsor an amendment only if it submitted a concept of the amendment by the preceding July 15 deadline. Constitution: Amend , as follows: Process for Areas of Council-Governance and Football-Specific Legislation. [ through unchanged.] Submission Deadlines. Date Printed: 11/18/2018 3

10 Concept. A conference must submit a concept under consideration for sponsorship as an amendment to the national office by 5 p.m. Eastern time July Amendment. An amendment sponsored by the Council or a conference listed in Constitution (a), (b) or (c) or a football-only conference as described in Constitution must be submitted to the national office by 5 p.m. Eastern time September 1. The Council may introduce an amendment by 5 p.m. Eastern time November 1. A conference may sponsor an amendment only if it submitted a concept of the amendment by the preceding July 15 deadline. From the submission deadline until 5 p.m. Eastern time February 1, the sponsoring conference or Council may refine and change its proposal in any manner that is germane to the original proposal Amendment-to-Amendment. An amendment to an amendment identified for a vote in January may be submitted to the national office until 5 p.m. Eastern time December 15. An amendment to an amendment identified for a vote in April may be submitted to the national office until 5 p.m. Eastern time February 1. Any such amendment shall not increase the modification of the provision to be amended in the original proposal Notification to Membership Initial Notification. Proposed amendments shall be available on the NCAA website for membership review and comment not later than October 1 November Official Notice. Proposed amendments and amendments-to-amendments shall be available on the NCAA website for membership review and comment not later than February 8. [ through unchanged.] Source: NCAA Division I Council (Legislative Committee) Effective Date: Immediate Topical Area: Legislative Authority and Process Rationale: In the current legislative process, some proposals that are submitted at the last minute have not been fully developed at the conference level, let alone the national level. In addition, many times, similar proposals are submitted by different conferences. Sometimes the conferences can agree to combine the proposals, but oftentimes internal conference procedures do not allow time for compromises to be made. By establishing a concept deadline early in the legislative cycle, the NCAA staff will have the opportunity to work with conferences to refine and, potentially, combine concepts before they are submitted as proposals. The Legislative Committee and specific subject matter committees could review the concepts and provide feedback to the conferences before the conferences make a final decision to submit a proposal. This process could result in a decrease in the volume of proposals submitted and an increase in the quality and national significance of the final proposals. Estimated Budget Impact:. Impact on Student-Athlete's Time (Academic and/or Athletics):. Sep 28, 2018: Athletics Personnel No ATHLETICS PERSONNEL -- GRADUATE ASSISTANT AND VOLUNTEER COACHES -- FCS Intent: In championship subdivision football, to permit an institution to use the services of two coaches who may serve as either graduate assistant coaches or volunteer coaches, as specified. A. Bylaws: Amend 11.01, as follows: [Federated provision, FCS only] Date Printed: 11/18/2018 4

11 11.01 Definitions and Applications. [ through unchanged.] Coach, Graduate Assistant -- Bowl Subdivision Football. In bowl subdivision football, a graduate assistant coach is any coach who has received a baccalaureate degree and has either received his or her first baccalaureate degree or has exhausted athletics eligibility (whichever occurs later) within the previous seven years and qualifies for appointment as a graduate assistant under the policies of the institution. The individual is not required to be enrolled in a specific graduate degree program unless required by institutional policy. The following provisions shall apply: (a) The individual shall be enrolled in at least 50 percent of the institution s minimum regular graduate program of studies, except that during his or her final semester or quarter of the degree program, he or she may be enrolled in less than 50 percent of the institution s minimum regular program, provided he or she is carrying (for credit) the courses necessary to complete the degree requirements. If the individual fails to complete all degree requirements during the term in which he or she is enrolled in less than 50 percent of the institution s minimum regular program, the result shall be an institutional violation per Constitution An institution may appoint a midyear replacement graduate assistant coach who is enrolled in less than 50 percent of the institution s minimum regular graduate program of studies (or is not yet enrolled), provided the graduate assistant coach has been accepted for enrollment in a graduate program beginning with the next regular academic term; (b) The individual may not receive compensation or remuneration in excess of the value of a full grant-in-aid for a fulltime student, based on the resident status of that individual, and the receipt of four complimentary tickets to the institution s intercollegiate football and basketball games; (c) The individual may receive training table meals as provided to the institution's student-athletes without the value of the meals being included in the individual s limit on remuneration; (d) Graduate and postgraduate financial assistance administered outside the institution (e.g., NCAA postgraduate scholarship) shall be excluded from the individual s limit on remuneration, provided such assistance is awarded through an established and continuing program to aid graduate students and the donor of the assistance does not restrict the recipient s choice of institutions; (e) The individual may not serve as a graduate assistant coach for a period of more than two years except that if the individual successfully completes 24-semester or 36-quarter hours during the initial two-year period, the individual may serve as a graduate assistant coach for a third year; (f) Compensation for employment from a source outside the institution during the academic year shall be excluded from the individual s limit on remuneration, provided the institution does not arrange such employment and the compensation is for work actually performed. The member institution may not arrange on- or off-campus employment opportunities except for summer employment, which is permissible regardless of whether the student remains enrolled in the graduate program during the summer; (g) A graduate student coach may accept employment benefits available to all institutional employees (e.g., life insurance, health insurance, disability insurance), as well as expenses to attend the convention of the national coaches association in the coach s sport, without the value of those benefits being included in the individual s limit on remuneration; (h) The individual may receive cash to cover unitemized incidental expenses during travel and practice for NCAA championship events or postseason bowl contests in accordance with the parameters by which student-athletes may receive such expenses pursuant to Bylaw ; (i) The institution may provide actual and necessary expenses for the individual s significant other and children to attend a postseason football bowl game or an NCAA championship; and (j) The individual may not evaluate or contact prospective student-athletes off campus, regardless of whether compensation is received for such activities. The individual may not perform recruiting coordination functions (see Bylaw ); however, it is permissible for a graduate assistant coach to make telephone calls to prospective student-athletes, provided the coach has successfully completed the coaches certification examination per Bylaw Replacement of Graduate Assistant Coach. The compensation or remuneration set forth in Bylaw shall be charged against an academic year. Once the amount set forth in Bylaw (b) is paid to a graduate assistant coach for that academic year, additional funds may not be spent on a replacement until the start of the next academic year, even though the graduate assistant coach leaves the institution's athletics program during the academic year. Date Printed: 11/18/2018 5

12 [ through unchanged.] Coach, Volunteer. In sports other than bowl subdivision football and basketball, a volunteer coach is any coach who does not receive compensation or remuneration from the institution's athletics department or any organization funded in whole or in part by the athletics department or that is involved primarily in the promotion of the institution's athletics program (e.g., booster club, athletics foundation association). The following provisions shall apply: [ (a) through (e) unchanged.] [ through unchanged.] B. Bylaws: Amend 11.7, as follows: [Federated provision, FCS only] 11.7 Limitations on the Number and Duties of Coaches and Noncoaching Staff Members. [ unchanged.] Recruiting Coordination Functions. The following recruiting coordination functions (except related routine clerical tasks) must be performed by the head coach or one or more of the assistant coaches who count toward the numerical limitations in Bylaw : [ (a) through (b) unchanged.] Exception -- Graduate Assistant Coach -- Bowl Subdivision Football. In bowl subdivision football, a graduate assistant coach may perform the functions set forth in Bylaw (a) (on campus only) and (b) if the coach has successfully completed the coaches' certification examination per Bylaw [See Bylaw (i).] [ through unchanged.] [ through unchanged.] Championship Subdivision Football. There In championship subdivision football, there shall be a limit of 11 head or assistant coaches of any type and two coaches who may be employed by an institution in championship subdivision football serve as either graduate assistant coaches or volunteer coaches. [ through unchanged.] Limitations on Number of Coaches and Off-Campus Recruiters. There shall be a limit on the number of coaches (other than graduate assistant coaches per Bylaw and , student assistant assistant coaches per Bylaw and volunteer coaches per Bylaw ) who may be employed by an institution and who may contact or evaluate prospective student-athletes off campus in each sport as follows: [ unchanged.] Exceptions to Number Limits. No individual other than coaches designated to fill the coaching limits set forth in Bylaw may participate in any manner in the coaching of the intercollegiate team of a member institution during any game, practice or other organized activity, with the following exceptions: [ through unchanged.] Volunteer Coach. In sports other than football, basketball, women s equestrian, women s rowing, swimming and diving and women's triathlon, a member institution may use the services of one volunteer coach (per Bylaw ). Indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, and cross country are separate sports for purposes of this provision. In sports in which the NCAA conducts separate men's and women's championships, a combined men's and women's program may use two volunteer coaches. [ through unchanged.] Volunteer Coach -- Championship Subdivision Football. In championship subdivision football, an institution may use the services of up to two volunteer coaches, dependent on the number of graduate assistant coaches employed by the institution (see Bylaw ). [ through unchanged.] C. Bylaws: Amend , as follows: Date Printed: 11/18/2018 6

13 [Federated provision, FCS only] Telephone Calls. [ through unchanged.] Permissible Callers Institutional Coaching Staff Members -- General Rule. All telephone calls made to a prospective student-athlete (or the prospective student-athlete's family members or coaches) must be made by the head coach or one or more of the assistant coaches who count toward the numerical limitations in Bylaw (see Bylaw ). In bowl subdivision football and women's rowing, such telephone calls also may be made by a graduate assistant coach, provided the coach has successfully completed the coaches' certification examination per Bylaw [D] [ unchanged.] [ through unchanged.] D. Bylaws: Amend , as follows: Employment at Camp or Clinic. [ through unchanged.] [Federated provision, FCS only] Athletics Staff Members. A member institution's athletics staff member may be involved in sports camps or clinics unless otherwise prohibited in this section (see Bylaw ). [D] [ through unchanged.] Institutional or Noninstitutional, Privately Owned Camps/Clinics -- Championship Subdivision Football. In championship subdivision football, an institution's coach (including a graduate assistant coach who has successfully completed the coaches certification examination per Bylaw ) or noncoaching athletics department staff member with responsibilities specific to football may be employed (either on a salaried or volunteer basis) in any capacity (e.g., counselor, guest lecturer, consultant) only by his or her institution's camps or clinics or another four-year, NCAA member institution's camps or clinics. Employment in such a camp or clinic may occur only in June [or any calendar week (Sunday through Saturday) that includes days in June (e.g., May 28-June 3)] and July. It is not permissible for a football coach or noncoaching athletics department staff member with responsibilities specific to football to be employed at a noninstitutional, privately owned camp or clinic. [D] [ through unchanged.] Source: Colonial Athletic Association and Big Sky Conference Effective Date: Immediate Topical Area: Athletics Personnel Rationale: Current legislation allows Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) institutions to employ up to two graduate assistant coaches. This proposal is intended to allow Football Championship Subdivision institutions the same number of coaching personnel afforded to FBS institutions. The proposal provides an opportunity for up to two additional individuals to advance their educational and career pursuits as recent graduates who would like to enter the coaching profession, while also possibly providing additional minority coaching opportunities. Further, the additional coaches would enhance student-athlete well-being and safety by providing technical instruction that could prevent injuries. Not all institutions have sufficient funds to employ two graduate assistant coaches. Therefore, additional flexibility would be available to use the services of volunteer coaches who can provide instruction and evaluate the safety and well-being of student-athletes during practice and competition. Estimated Budget Impact: Will vary by institution and number of coaches in each category. Impact on Student-Athlete's Time (Academic and/or Athletics):. Date Printed: 11/18/2018 7

No ATHLETICS PERSONNEL -- LIMITATIONS ON NUMBER OF COACHES AND OFF-CAMPUS RECRUITERS AND VOLUNTEER COACH -- BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL -- FOURTH COUNTABLE COACH AND NO VOLUNTEER COACH Intent: In baseball and softball, to increase, from three to four, the limit on the number of coaches who may be employed by an institution and who may contact or evaluate prospective student-athletes off-campus; further, to specify that an institution shall not use the services of a volunteer coach. Bylaws: Amend 11.7, as follows: 11.7 Limitations on the Number and Duties of Coaches and Noncoaching Staff Members. [ through unchanged.] Limitations on Number of Coaches and Off-Campus Recruiters. There shall be a limit on the number of coaches (other than graduate assistant coaches per Bylaw and , student assistant assistant coaches per Bylaw and volunteer coaches per Bylaw ) who may be employed by an institution and who may contact or evaluate prospective student-athletes off campus in each sport as follows: Sport Limit Baseball 3 4 Softball, Women's 3 4 [All other sports unchanged.] [ unchanged.] Exceptions to Number Limits.

15 Rationale: This proposal seeks to add an additional full-time countable coach in baseball and softball by elevating the current volunteer coach position to a full-time countable coach. Expanding the permissible duties and responsibilities of the current volunteer coach to those of a full-time countable coach will enhance student-athlete well-being by permitting another coach to engage in off-campus recruiting activity, thereby significantly increasing the likelihood that a regular full-time coaching staff member will remain on-campus to engage with current student-athletes in practice and other associated activities. In addition, elevating the position and adding another full-time coach will also increase opportunities and enhance the development of emerging coaches entering the profession, promote coaching staff stability, and allow coaching staffs to better and more adequately serve the needs and interests of their student-athletes by reducing the rising student-athlete to coach ratio in both sports. Finally, while this proposal will elevate the volunteer coach position to a full-time countable coach and thereby legislatively eliminate the traditional volunteer coach position, institutions will have the discretion to employ and utilize the services of the new fourth countable staff member position as they see fit. Estimated Budget Impact: Will vary based upon institutional hiring decisions; potential expenses to add two coaching positions. Impact on Student-Athlete's Time (Academic and/or Athletics):. Aug 30, 2018: Sep 28, 2018: Submitted to National Office Amateurism No AMATEURISM -- GENERAL REGULATIONS -- EDUCATIONAL EXPENSES -- PRIOR TO COLLEGIATE ENROLLMENT -- PERMISSIBLE EXPENSES FROM PROFESSIONAL SPORTS ORGANIZATION Intent: To specify that an individual may receive educational expenses or services prior to collegiate enrollment from a professional sports team/organization; further, to specify that the payment for such expenses or services must be disbursed directly to the educational institution providing the educational expense or service. Bylaws: Amend , as follows: Amateur Status. An individual loses amateur status and thus shall not be eligible for intercollegiate competition in a particular sport if the individual: [ (a) through (g) unchanged.] Prohibited Forms of Pay. "Pay," as used in Bylaw above, includes, but is not limited to, the following: [ through unchanged.] Educational Expenses. Educational expenses not permitted by the governing legislation of this Association (see Bylaw 15 regarding permissible financial aid to enrolled student-athletes) Educational Expenses or Services -- Prior to Collegiate Enrollment. A prospective studentathlete may receive educational expenses or services (e.g., tuition, fees, room and board, books, tutoring, standardized test preparatory classes) prior to collegiate enrollment from any individual or entity other than an agent, professional sports team/organization, member institution or a representative of an institution's athletics interests, provided the payment for such expenses or services is disbursed directly to the individual, organization or educational institution (e.g., high school, preparatory school) providing the educational expense or service. A professional sports team/organization may only provide payment for educational expenses and such a payment must be disbursed directly to the educational institution providing the educational expense or service.

16 Source: NCAA Division I Council (Student-Athlete Experience Committee) Effective Date: Immediate Topical Area: Amateurism Rationale: Current legislation allows a prospective student-athlete, in sports other than men's ice hockey and skiing, to receive practice and competition expenses from a professional team or organization; however, a prospective student athlete, in any sport, is not allowed to receive educational expenses from a professional team or organization to support the prospective student-athlete's education. This proposal would expand the current rule that allows pre-enrollment educational expenses to be provided by a variety of other sources.

Bylaws: Amend , as follows: Calculation of Actual and Necessary Expenses -- Individual Sports and Women's Beach Volleyball. In individual sports and women's beach volleyball, the calculation of an individual's actual and necessary expenses shall be based on expenses incurred during each calendar year (January-December), rather than on an event-by-event basis. Source: Pac-12 Conference Effective Date: Immediate; may be applied retroactively to expenses incurred on or after January 1, Topical Area: Amateurism Rationale: Due to the frequency and unique nature of outside beach volleyball tournaments, the beach volleyball coaching community believes that student-athletes in the sport should have the same regulations that apply to individual sports relative to the calculation of actual and necessary expenses. Currently, an individual beach volleyball athlete whose annual expenses significantly exceed her annual prize money may still incur a violation if the prize money exceeds expenses in a single event. Calculation of expenses versus prize money over a calendar year is a more equitable, less bureaucratic approach that does not compromise the values of the collegiate model. Furthermore, this proposal would encourage beach volleyball student-athletes to participate in more outside competitions during permissible times of the year, thereby creating more exposure and growth for the sport.
