Management Council. The Council reviewed the division s budget report as of September 30, 2017 and noted the following: (1) Championships overall were under budget; (2) Additional revenue of $1.3 million from selling the NCAA controlling interest in Arbiter; and (3) Non-championship initiatives were over with the approved expenses for Gameday the DIII Way and related partnership with the Disney Institute. In addition, the Council reviewed the division s long-term budget forecast and noted a projected surplus through the current broadcast agreement ( ). The Council noted the previously approved membership dues increase (2016 NCAA Convention legislation) was not included in the budget forecast. The Strategic

Staff Liaisons: Brown, Williamson Council Reps: Akotaobi, Baker-Watson, RoyUdelhofen, Tompson-Wolfe, Young (1) Subcommittee for Legislative Relief. (a) Approval of NCAA Division III Management Council Subcommittee for Legislative Relief Policies and Procedures. Management Council. The Council approved the updated policies and procedures document to clarify that three subcommittee members constitutes a quorum. Presidents Council. No action was necessary. (b) Mount St. Joseph Waiver Appeal. Management Council. The Council upheld the subcommittee s decision to deny the waiver appeal submitted by Mount St. Joseph University. For the season, the subcommittee provided a waiver to Mount St. Joseph to conduct the Lauren Hill Tip-Off Classic as a regular season contest prior to the first permissible start date. A condition of the waiver required that each participating institution lose an exempted exhibition contest which Mount St. Joseph appealed. In denying the waiver appeal, the subcommittee noted a lack of compelling mitigation. Staff Liaisons: Brown, Suscha Williamson Council Reps: Bankston, Davis, Leighton, Mooney, Vienna, Walsh, Warren Presidents Council. No action was necessary. (2) Playing and Practice Seasons Subcommittee. Management Council. The Council reviewed the subcommittee s report. No action was necessary. Presidents Council. No action was necessary.

(a) Noncontroversial Legislation NCAA Bylaw Division III Committees Composition Requirements NCAA Women s Ice Hockey Committee Composition. Management Council. The Council approved the committee s recommendation that the composition requirements for the Women s Ice Hockey Committee be revised as follows 5, consisting of including three members from the East region and two members from the West region/ Independents (one coach from each region). Presidents Council. No action was necessary. (b) Term Extension for the Division III Men s Golf Committee. Management Council. The Council approved the committee s recommendation that William Gorman s term be extended by one year to better stagger committee composition. Mr. Gorman s term, along with two other committee members, was set to expire August 31, The recommendation extends his term a year. Presidents Council. No action was necessary. (c) Days off Between the Team and Individual Portions of the Men s and Women s Tennis Championships. Management Council. The Council reviewed the committee s recommendation that a day off be added between the team competition and the start of the singles/doubles portion of the Division III Men s and Women s Tennis Championships. The team competition dates will remain on Monday through Wednesday, with the off day on Thursday and the singles and doubles competition taking place Friday through Sunday. Due to the overall financial impact, the Council approved forwarding this request to the Strategic Planning and Finance Committee. Presidents Council. No action was necessary. (d) Championships Participation Obligation to Compete. Management Council. The Council noted the committee reviewed and supported, in principle, a recommended policy adjustment regarding occasions when NCAA member schools decline to participate in an NCAA championship for various reasons (e.g., a state-imposed travel ban, school-imposed restriction, etc.). The recommendation requires a team that opts not to participate in the NCAA championship to notify the

34 Summary of Fall 2017 Summary of Actions Page No. 8 championships staff at least 48 hours before the published deadline for conferences to submit their automatic qualifier. The recommendation also introduces to-be-determined penalties (e.g., fines and/or withholding from championship participation for the following year) and appellate procedures for failure to meet the deadline or withdrawing from the championship at any point after selections are announced. Staff noted that because this is an Association-wide matter, the proposal will not be finalized until championships oversight groups in Division I and II also complete their review. Presidents Council. No action was necessary. (e) Wrestling Regional Alignment. Management Council. The Council noted the committee approved recommended regional alignments effective with the season that accommodate growing sport sponsorship and help ensure geographic proximity, balanced championship access, conference affiliation, and competitive considerations.

(a) Approval of Official Interpretation Independent Medical Care Athletics Director Serving as a Coach. Management Council. interpretation: The Council approved the following official

35 Summary of Fall 2017 Summary of Actions Page No. 9 Independent Medical Care Athletics Director Serving as a Coach (III). The Division III Interpretations and Legislation Committee confirmed that a director of athletics who is also a coach may not serve as the sole supervisor nor have sole hiring/firing authority over an institution s primary athletics health care provider. Therefore, a director of athletics who is also a coach may serve as a supervisor for the primary health care provider, provided the supervisory resonsibilities are shared with another institutional staff member that is not a coach. It would also be permissible for a director of athletics who is a coach to maintain supervisory responsibilities over the primary health care provider, if an institution creates an appeal or oversight mechanism, external to the athletics department, to evaluate the merits of any negative employment decisions. Finally, an institution could permissibly create an administrative firewall to ensure that decision-making by primary athletics care providers is always autonomous and unchallengeable. Presidents Council. No action was necessary. (b) Approval of Official Interpretation Scrimmage, Exhibition, or Joint Practice Exemptions Contest and Date of Competition Sports. Management Council. interpretation: The Council approved the following official Scrimmage, Exhibition, or Joint Practice Exemptions Contest and Date of Competition Sports (III). The Division III Interpretations and Legislation Committee confirmed that the two annual exempted exhibitions, scrimmages or joint practices shall be applied as a contest (single game) or date of competition (any contest(s) on a single date). The contest or date of competition classification is dependent on whether a sport calculates its maximum limits via contests or date of competitions. Presidents Council. No action was necessary. (c) Incorporation of Official Interpretation Organized Competition Player Agreement Before Initial Collegiate Enrollment (III). Management Council. The Council approved the incorporation of the following official interpretation [Reference: 4/21/17, Item No. 2] into the legislation. Organized Competition Player Agreement Before Initial Collegiate Enrollment (III). The Division III Interpretations and Legislation Committee confirmed that a player agreement to compete with an amateur team, where no payment is provided, is not competition pursuant to the signing of a contract that would constitute participation in organized competition before initial collegiate enrollment. Therefore, an individual in this circumstance shall not be charged with a season of participation nor be required to serve an academic year of residence. Presidents Council. No action was necessary.

36 Summary of Fall 2017 Summary of Actions Page No. 10 (d) 2019 Convention Legislation Eligibility Full-time Enrollment Exceptions Final Semester/Quarter Final Term Before Experiential Learning Requirement NCAA Bylaw Management Council. The Council referred back the committee s recommendation to sponsor Convention legislation to permit a studentathlete to practice and compete while enrolled in less than a full-time program of studies during the final term or quarter of the student s baccalaureate degree program before participating in an experiential learning requirement (e.g., student teaching, internship, clinical, capstone project, etc.), provided the student-athlete is carrying (for credit) all courses necessary to complete degree requirements other than that experiential learning requirement. The Council requested additional information in regards to the number of related interpretative requests and legislative relief waivers. Presidents Council. No action was necessary. (e) Convention Proposal Grouping and Voting Method for Management Council. The Council forwarded to the Presidents Council a recommendation to designate that votes for all proposals at the 2018 Convention be taken using the roll-call method, regardless of the proposal s grouping (President Council or General) and approve the voting order and groupings. [See Page No. 19; Item b] While the Presidents Council is responsible for establishing the order of proposal voting, as well as the method for conducting those votes, the Interpretations and Legislation Committee conducts an initial review and makes a recommendation on both issues. Since the electronic voting units and technology permit the recording of all votes in an expeditious manner, the committee agreed that votes for all proposals (presidential and general groupings) should be taken using the roll-call method, as it provides greater transparency for the membership. Presidents Council. The Presidents Council approved the Management Council s recommendation. (f) Review Division I and II Official Interpretations. Management Council. The Council noted the committee reviewed official interpretations issued in Divisions I and II between February 1 and August 31, 2017, and identified one interpretation [Division I Official Interpretation Reference 7/11/2017, Item No. 2] for additional discussion. This interpretation identified permissible nutritional supplements an institution may provide to student-athletes. Currently, Division III institutions may not provide nutritional supplements to student-athletes unless they are part of a permissible meal incidental to participation. The

37 Summary of Fall 2017 Summary of Actions Page No. 11 committee determined that student-athlete well-being should guide this discussion and requested that staff gather feedback from the Sports Science Institute (SSI) and the Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports (CSMAS) for review at a future meeting. Presidents Council. No action was necessary. (g) Recruiting Advertisements. Management Council. The Council noted the committee reviewed the question of what constitutes a recruiting advertisement for the purposes of Bylaw (Recruiting Advertisements). The committee agreed that the application of Bylaw is specific to promotions designed to solicit the enrollment of prospective student-athletes but noted that the location of the advertisement is the distinguishing factor in analyzing if an advertisement violates the legislation. As such, the committee instructed staff to continue with permissive responses when the advertisement in question is not placed at events involving prospective student-athletes, two-year or high school game programs, or aired during two-year college or high school contests. The committee agreed that a more holistic review of the limitations on advertisements and promotions may be needed. Presidents Council. No action was necessary. (h) Receipt of Educational Expenses Pre-enrollment. Management Council. The Council noted the committee reviewed the question of whether a prospective student-athlete can receive secondary educational expenses for his or her athletics ability without impacting his or her eligibility. The committee reviewed the pre-enrollment legislation in both Divisions I and II and agreed that a more flexible legislative standard similar to Divisions I and II may be warranted. The committee advised staff to draft a proposal based on the Division I legislation for review at a future meeting. Staff Liaisons: DiBiase, Jones, Orr Council Rep: Mooney Presidents Council. No action was necessary. (6) Membership Committee. College of St. Elizabeth Appeal. Management Council. The Council approved the committee s recommendation to deny the College of St. Elizabeth s waiver request regarding Bylaw (minimum contests and participants). Specifically, the institution failed to meet minimum sports-sponsorship requirements in women s tennis. In denying the waiver, the committee noted a lack of compelling mitigation. Due to the waiver being denied, the institution will be placed on probation for a five-year period beginning September 1, 2017.

(a) Noncontroversial Legislation NCAA Bylaw Committees Association-Wide Committees General Committees Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports, Committee on Composition Division I Representation. [See page No. 20, c (1)] Management Council. The Council adopted noncontroversial legislation to amend Bylaw (composition) to increase the size of the Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports from 22 to 23 members; further, to specify that the additional member shall be a member of the Division I Council. Presidents Council. No action was necessary. (b) Legislation NCAA Bylaw Executive Regulations Eligibility for Championships Ineligibility for Use of Banned Drugs Banned Drugs. Management Council. The Council provided feedback on the 2019 NCAA Convention legislative proposal that would align the NCAA s current banned drugs at championships with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). The Council requests a comparison chart when it considers a formal endorsement of this proposal during its April 2018, meeting. Presidents Council. No action was necessary. (c) Concussion Safety Protocol. Management Council. The Council discussed CSMAS s request, approved by the Board of Governors, for greater consistency among all NCAA members related to concussion safety protocol review. The Council discussed the use of the NCAA Concussion Safety Protocol Checklist

41 Summary of Fall 2017 Summary of Actions Page No. 15 as well as possible next steps. Currently, per legislative mandate, the Division I Autonomy Five institutions annually submit their concussion protocol checklist to an independent review board. The Council will discuss next steps at a future meeting. Presidents Council. No action was necessary. (d) Standing Review Committee. Management Council. The Council noted the committee created a standing subcommittee to assist with review and endorsement of future interassociation recommendation documents. This subcommittee will be composed of current committee members, and will include a physician, an athletics trainer, a researcher, an athletics administrator, a governance representative and a student-athlete. The student-athlete position will have a one-year term that rotates through each division, while all other positions would be on staggered, two-year terms.

The Councils reviewed responsibilities associated with Convention proposal speaking assignments and took formal positions on membership-sponsored proposals as presented below. (1) Division III Committees Eligibility of Membership Student-Athlete Advisory Committee Change in Composition. Presidents Council. The Presidents Council opposes the original membership proposal and approved the Management Council s recommendation to sponsor an

43 Summary of Fall 2017 Summary of Actions Page No. 17 amendment-to-amendment designed to spur more interaction with SAAC representatives from all Division III conferences without increasing the committee s size. The proposal would provide funding for SAAC representatives from all conferences (and the group of independents) to attend a summer meeting and play a more active role throughout the year. Management Council. The Council recommended to Presidents Council an amendment-to-amendment to formally designate a student-athlete liaison from each partner conference that does not have a member currently serving on national SAAC. This student-athlete, who will be termed a partner conference SAAC student-athlete liaison will have regular conference calls with the SAAC members as well as designated opportunities for in-person SAAC attendance. The liaison appointment would occur through a recommendation by the conference commissioner in consultation with the national SAAC executive committee and NCAA staff. Nominations Committee. The Nominations Committee opposes the original membership proposal. Increasing the committee size to 44 members will significantly impact the effectiveness of the committee and further result in a substantial budget impact. Increasing the number of members also increases the number of SAAC members that must be selected each year, resulting in large slates of nominees. This increase directly impacts the workload of the Nominating Committee since it is charged with identifying diverse committee members (e.g., sport, gender, ethnicity). Finally, some conferences struggle with submitting a full slate of nominees; this problem could be compounded by doubling the size of the committee. (2) Playing and Practice Seasons Annual Contest Exemptions Alumni Contest. Presidents Council. No action was necessary. Management Council. The Council took no position. Alumni contests serve a distinctly different purpose than preseason scrimmages as they allow current players and alumni to stay connected through friendly competition. Further, they allow institutional admission and development offices to stay connected with alumni. Regardless, current rules don t preclude an alumni contest, and thus the proposal would add an exempted contest. Further, with the current standardization of exemptions only being implemented in Sept. 2017, it s too soon to assess the true impact of this newly created legislation. Playing and Practice Seasons Subcommittee. The subcommittee recommended the Management Council support this proposal. While the proposal does add an additional exemption to the legislation, the alumni competition is generally not competitive in nature and serves a different purpose than that of scrimmages, exhibitions and regular season competition. Additionally, the legislation would benefit the development/advancement offices at an institution, by creating additional opportunities to engage alumni.

44 Summary of Fall 2017 Summary of Actions Page No. 18 (3) Playing and Practice Seasons Basketball First Permissible Contest November 8. Presidents Council. No action was necessary. Management Council. The Council supports this proposal. The proposal establishes an earlier first contest date in basketball, which would allow for more balance in institutions schedules. More game dates would be allowed in the first semester, which could create fewer contests in the second semester and a better balance between semesters. Playing and Practice Seasons Subcommittee. The subcommittee recommended the Management Council support this proposal. The proposal would allow for more flexibility in scheduling throughout the season, which would allow institutions to provide student-athletes with additional time-off during the winter break or at other times throughout the season. Further, the legislation is permissive in nature and institutions would not be required to conduct their first contest on November 8. Although in support of the proposal, the subcommittee recognized that the proposal may impact the availability of facilities and personnel with fall sports concluding around the same timeframe. Men s Basketball Committee. The committee recommended the Management Council support this proposal. The committee recognized that the proposal allows more flexibility in scheduling contests while not lengthening the season. The committee recognized that the proposal has an impact on the facility availability for other fall sports completing their season. Women s Basketball Committee. The committee recommended the Management Council support this proposal. In particular, the committee noted that the proposal does not extend the season beyond 19 weeks. Further, it provides teams flexibility in scheduling and reduces the chance of needing to participate in three contests within one week. Finally, the committee noted that the legislation is permissive and therefore an institution would not be required to start on November 8. (4) Playing and Practice Seasons Ice Hockey First Permissible On-Ice Practice Date Second Monday in October. Presidents Council. No action was necessary. Management Council. The Council supports this proposal. The Council agreed that an earlier first on-ice practice date in ice hockey will allow student-athletes and teams more time to properly prepare for contests within the existing 19-week season. Playing and Practice Seasons Subcommittee. The subcommittee recommended the Management Council support this proposal. The proposal would allow ice hockey student-athletes to be better prepared for on-ice competition without expanding the overall length of the playing season.

45 Summary of Fall 2017 Summary of Actions Page No. 19 Women s Ice Hockey Committee. The committee recommended the Management Council support this proposal. The committee cited safety concerns based on data from athletic trainers and the desire to provide additional time for teams to prepare and condition at the beginning of the season. The committee noted that the proposal does not lengthen the season and does not mandate when institutions must use their 19 weeks, but rather provides institutions the flexibility of beginning onice practices one week earlier. The committee also noted the proposal could result in a cost savings if institutions choose to begin practices earlier in the fall instead of having the team return to campus in January before classes resume (when student-athletes are already in playing condition) and possibly incurring costs for housing and food. The committee did discuss concerns about a possible negative effect on student-athletes who participate in more than one sport, but the committee ultimately supported the proposal to help ensure the safety of studentathletes during preseason training sessions. Men s Ice Hockey Committee. The committee recommended the Management Council support this proposal. This proposal will better prepare ice hockey student-athletes for the first game. Currently, there is not adequate practice time available prior to the first permissible contest date. This would allow for proper acclimatization for any new players to their respective programs. Furthermore, this would better prepare the players whose programs are participating in allowable scrimmages or exhibitions. Currently, student-athletes could play in a scrimmage or exhibition with as little as five days to prepare. Having an acclimatization period of ten days seems more beneficial to the student-athlete s safety. Finally, the committee recognized that this proposal would have a budgetary impact for institutions that do not own their own arena, but still believed it was in the best interest of student-athletes. b. Proposal Groupings. [See Page No. 10, Item (5) (e)] Presidents Council. The Presidents Council approved the recommendation of Management Council regarding the 2018 Convention proposal groupings and voting order. The Council also approved roll-call voting for all proposals. Management Council. The Council recommended the following proposal grouping and voting order for the 2018 Convention as well as designating roll-call voting for all proposals.

M Championships Ineligibility for Use of Banned Drugs Penalty Illicit Drugs. Management Council. The Council approved, in legislative format, a proposal to specify that a student-athlete who, as a result of a drug test administered by the NCAA, tests positive for use of a substance in the banned drug class illicit drugs shall be ineligible for competition during 50 percent of a season in all sports. Presidents Council. No action was necessary. 5. DIVISION III INITIATIVES AND UPDATES. a. Ad Hoc Committee for Management Council Leadership Nomination Process Management Council. The Council delayed discussion until its January meeting. Presidents Council. No action was necessary. b Division III Graduation Rates. Management Council. The Council noted that Division III student-athletes continue to graduate at higher rates than their peers in the student-body, according to the most recent NCAA Academic Success Rate (ASR) data. The division s federal graduation rate (FGR) is consistently 69% while the academic success rate (ASR) is consistently 87%. Over the eight-year data collection, 278 institutions (62% of the membership) have submitted data at least once. Football student-athletes, and in particular African-American football student-athletes, have significantly lower graduation rates than other sports. The FGR for African-American student-athletes was 36%. [See the Diversity and Inclusion Working Group report.] Presidents Council. No action was necessary. c. Diversity and Inclusion Working Group. Management Council. The Council received a request from the working group to consider 2019 NCAA Convention legislation to establish the annual mandatory reporting of studentathlete graduation rates. The working group has been evaluating the viability and value of mandatory student-athlete graduation data collection, including weighing the potential administrative burden, in part because the graduation rates of African-Americans and football players has been considerably lower than other groups and sports for eight consecutive years. The working group believes mandatory data collection would provide the following benefits: (1) A census of valid and reliable data allows for legally and scientifically defensible evidenced-based policies. (2) Enhancement to the Institutional Performance Program (IPP), the free self-assessment and benchmarking tool provided by the NCAA.

48 Summary of Fall 2016 Summary of Actions Page No. 22 (3) Institutions are currently required to submit similar data, per federal regulations, so the submission to the NCAA may not be overly burdensome. (4) A mandatory collection will enable Division III to tell its very positive academic story and highlight its philosophy. The current data shows that overall Division III student-athletes graduate at a higher rate than the overall student-body, as well as student-athletes in other NCAA divisions. The Council recommended the Presidents Council endorse the working group s efforts to continue analyzing the existing data, and further discuss the value of a mandatory studentathlete graduation data collected. If supported by Presidents Council, the Council will continue to discuss this issue at its January meeting. The Council noted an area of concern may include administrative burden, and the importance of providing concrete suggestions to overcome this burden. Presidents Council. The Council encouraged the working group to explore crafting a legislative proposal for the 2019 NCAA Convention regarding mandatory student-athlete graduation rate reporting. The Council noted that mandatory data collection could provide valid and reliable data to support evidenced-based policies; enhance the NCAA Institutional Performance Program; and enable the division to more clearly articulate its overall success and commitment to academics. The Council also noted that much of the data are similar to what institutions are currently required to submit to the federal government and to the Association, so any mandate may not prove to be overly burdensome. d. Faculty Athletic Representatives (FAR) Engagement Working Group. Management Council. The working group outlined its next steps and proposed recommendations: (1) Create an information sheet detailing the value added to the student-athlete experience through a highly engaged and long-tenured FAR; (2) Develop a best-practices guide for institutions and conference offices; (3) Develop and implement a seamless education model to orient new FARs and support them through their initial tenure in the position; and (4) Explore potential legislation to further codify the expectations of the role of the FAR in the governance and operation of athletics at the campus, conference and national level. Presidents Council. No action was necessary. e. LGBTQ Working Group. Management Council. The Council heard that the working group recently distributed a series of surveys to better understand the current landscape and climate surrounding LGBTQ issues on Division III campuses and conferences.

The Presidents Council also endorsed the pilot. l. Feedback from Conference Meetings. Management Council. The Council reviewed reports from conference visits. No action was necessary. Presidents Council. No action was necessary. 6. ASSOCIATION-WIDE UPDATES AND ISSUES. a. Board of Governors (BOG) Update. (1) Sexual Violence Prevention Policy. Management and Presidents Council. The Councils received a report on the newly approved sexual violence prevention policy, which requires institutions on an annual basis to have the president, athletics director and Title IX investigator attest to the fact that the institution has provided education on sexual violence to athletics staff and student-athletes. (2) Committee to Promote Cultural Diversity. Management and Presidents Council. The Councils received an update noting the BOG voted to make this a permanent committee. The roster, comprised of nine individuals, three from Division III, will be finalized in (3) Championships Alcohol Pilot. Management and Presidents Council. The Councils received an update on the current championships alcohol pilot and discussed next steps. Pilot data from the first two years have shown a reduction in alcohol-related citations and incidents. Spectators appear to be less likely to binge drink in the parking lot since they have access to alcohol in the venue. The championships alcohol pilot only allows the sale of beer and wine at select Division I championships, including the joint men s lacrosse championship with Divisions II and III. The sale of alcohol can only occur at venues that already sell alcohol, have the proper security, and can only take place in concession areas. Staff noted that revenue is minimal as most venue contracts

51 Summary of Fall 2016 Summary of Actions Page No. 25 retain concession sales. However, potential revenue from alcohol sales could encourage more bids from potential hosts. The Council requested staff to collect and share data that more closely delineates the sale of alcohol and spectator experience. The Division III Championships Committee also discussed the pilot and possible next steps during its September in-person meeting. The committee tasked staff to conduct some fact finding (e.g., how many Division III schools currently sell alcohol, how many of Division III future venues sell alcohol, how many venues would meet the minimum championship alcohol pilot parameters, etc.). The committee will review this data during its February in-person meeting and provide an update to the Councils in April. Staff reminded the Councils that the sale of alcohol at championships is a federated decision, and it would take a separate membership vote to permit the sale of alcohol at championships in Division III. b. Sport Science Institute (SSI) updates. Management and Presidents Council. The SSI staff shared the Uniform Standards of Care Process recently approved by the Board of Governors. This process provides a more defined process and the intentional engagement of the governance structure and membership around interassociation recommendations, best practices and guidelines. Staff also shared SSI s strategic priorities timeline. The timeline is a collaboration effort between SSI and the governance staff. While the timeline is fluid, SSI has ensured that it will inform the Councils of changes, as its goal is to keep the Councils informed of SSI s strategic priorities and anticipated outcomes. The Councils also heard an update on the Substance Abuse Prevention and Intervention Tool Kit distributed this summer to the membership. In 2014, the Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sport Committee(CSMAS) requested the Councils support the elimination of street drug testing at championships, as it didn t believe this type of testing was a true deterrent. The Councils didn t support the request and noted the need for more educational tools to address substance abuse prevention and intervention. This tool kit satisfies this specific request by the Councils. SSI noted that CSMAS, during its December meeting, again may discuss the elimination of street drug testing at championships. CSMAS will update the Councils on its discussion in April. c. Research and Analysis of Student-Athlete Insurance and Health Care Delivery Processes. Management Council. The Council received an update noting the NCAA has been conducting research and surveys with members of the Association, including Division III, to ultimately develop a resource of effective practices to assist institutions with studentathlete insurance. Key initial survey findings to improve effectiveness include institutions conducting a primary insurance verification and developing a relationship with local insurance providers. Next steps include the NCAA digesting the research and data, and publishing a matrix resource in six months. d. Litigation Update. Management Council. The Councils received a litigation update. No action was necessary.

OTHER BUSINESS. Discuss Presidents/Chancellors Advisory Group Membership Policy. Presidents Council. The Presidents Council discussed the role and makeup of the Division III Presidents/Chancellors Advisory Group, noting that it allows conferences not represented on the Presidents Council or Management Council to have presidential voices heard regarding key Division III issues. Currently, presidents can be appointed to the Presidents Advisory Group if their conference already has a member on the Presidents Council or Management Council, provided the second president represents a minority group (race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.) to ensure a diversity of viewpoints. The Presidents Council will continue its evaluation of how to better ensure President s Advisory Group members have the opportunity to make meaningful contributions to the Council, and to better prepare them for potential roles on the Presidents Council.

55 REPORT OF THE NCAA DIVISION III ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE NOVEMBER 30, 2017, ELECTRONIC MAIL ACTION ITEM. None. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS. Waiver for Madison Burns to serve on the Division III Management Council. The Administrative Committee approved a waiver, on behalf of the Division III Management Council, allowing Madison Burns, a SAAC student-athlete from Randolph-Macon College, to serve on the Council. Under NCAA Constitution (Exception Student-Athlete Advisory Committee), Division III legislation prohibits two individuals from the same institution from serving on the Presidents Council and Management Council simultaneously, but allows the Council to waive this prohibition in the case of SAAC nominees to the Management Council. This waiver is necessary as Robert Lindgren, president of Randolph-Macon College, is a current Division III Presidents Council member. Staff noted no concerns with applying the exception at this time and felt that allowing SAAC to freely choose its own representatives through the standard selection process is important for insuring quality student representation on the Management Council.

59 DIVISION III STRATEGIC POSITIONING PLATFORM SUPPLEMENT NO. 1b DIII Mgmt Council 01/18 NCAA Mission What the brand wants to accomplish To govern competition in a fair, safe, equitable and sportsmanlike manner, and to integrate intercollegiate athletics into higher education so that the educational experience of the student-athlete is paramount. DIII Positioning Statement Who we are Follow your passions and discover your potential. The college experience is a time of learning and growth a chance to follow passions and develop potential. For student-athletes in Division III, this happens most importantly in the classroom and through earning an academic degree. The Division III experience provides for passionate participation in a competitive athletics environment, where student-athletes push themselves to excellence and build upon their academic success with new challenges and life skills. And student-athletes are encouraged to pursue the full spectrum of opportunities available during their time in college. In this way, Division III provides an integrated environment for student-athletes to take responsibility for their own paths, follow their passions and find their potential through a comprehensive educational experience. DIII Attributes What we stand for Proportion: appropriate relation of academics with opportunities to pursue athletics and other passions. Comprehensive Learning: opportunity for broad-based education and success. Passion: playing for the love of the game, competition, fun and self-improvement. Responsibility: development of accountability through personal commitment and choices. Sportsmanship: fair and respectful conduct toward all participants and supporters. Citizenship: dedication to developing responsible leaders and citizens in our communities. NCAA Brand Attributes Balance Learning Spirit Character Fair Play Community Audiences Who we are addressing Student-Athletes / Parents DIII Internal Constituencies General Public / Media Audience Benefits Key benefits of the DIII experience - Continue to compete in a highly competitive athletics program and retain the full spectrum of college life. - Focus on academic achievement while graduating with a comprehensive education that builds skills beyond the classroom. - Access financial aid for college without the obligations of an athletics scholarship. - Opportunities to play more than one sport. - Be responsible for your own path, discover potential through opportunities to pursue many interests. - Academics are the primary focus for student-athletes. Shorter practice and playing seasons, no red-shirting and regional competition minimize time away from their academic studies and keep student-athletes on a path to graduation. - Student-athletes are integrated on campus and treated like all other members of the general student-body, keeping them focused on being a student first. - Participation in athletics provides valuable life lessons for student-athletes (teamwork, discipline, perseverance, leadership, etc.), which often translate into them becoming better students and more responsible citizens. - Division III institutions develop student-athlete potential through a comprehensive educational approach. - Division III institutions offer athletics for the educational value and benefit to the student-athlete, not for the purposes of revenue generation or entertainment. - Participation in athletics provides valuable life lessons for student-athletes (teamwork, discipline, perseverance, leadership, etc.), which often translate into them becoming better students and more responsible citizens. - Student-athletes compete in a highly competitive athletics program and retain the full spectrum of college life. - Student-athletes do not receive monetary incentive to play sports but rather participate for the love of the game. Reasons to Believe Supporting features of DIII 1. Comprehensive educational experience. Division III institutions develop student-athlete potential through a holistic educational approach that includes rigorous academics, competitive athletics and opportunity to pursue other interests and passions. 2. Integrated campus environment. About one-quarter of all students at Division III institutions participate in athletics. Those participating in athletics are integrated into the campus culture and educational missions of their colleges or universities: - Student-athletes are subject to admission and academic performance standards consistent with the general student body; - Student-athletes are not provided any special housing, services or support from their institution different from other students or student groups; - Athletics departments are regulated and managed through the same general procedures and practices as other departments of the institution. This integration of athletics allows the student-athletes to take full advantage of the many opportunities of campus life and their entire collegiate experience. 3. Academic focus. Student-athletes most often attend a college or university in Division III because of the excellent academic programs, creating a primary focus on learning and achievement of their degree. The division minimizes the conflicts between athletics and academics through shorter playing and practice seasons, the number of contests, no red-shirting or out-of-season organized activities, and a focus on regional in-season and conference play. 4. Available financial aid. Three-quarters of all student-athletes in Division III receive some form of grant or non-athletics scholarship. Student-athletes have equal opportunity and access to financial aid as the general student body but are not awarded aid based on athletics leadership, ability, performance or participation. - Division III does not award athletics scholarships. Without the obligation of an athletics scholarship, student-athletes can emphasize academics, athletics and other opportunities of college life appropriate to the necessary commitment and their own passions. 5. Competitive athletics programs. Student-athletes do not receive any monetary incentive (athletics scholarship) to play sports in college. They play for the love and passion of the game and to push themselves to be their best, creating an intense, competitive athletics environment for all who participate. 6. National championship opportunities. Division III has more than 170,000 student-athletes competing annually, with access to 38 different national championships. These competitions provide an opportunity for student-athletes to compete at the highest level and fulfill their athletics potential. 7. Commitment to athletics participation. Division III institutions are committed to a broad-based program of athletics because of the educational value of participation for the student-athlete. The division has a higher number and wider variety of athletics opportunities on average than any other division in the NCAA, emphasizing both competitive men s and women s sports.

67 REPORT OF THE NCAA DIVISION III STRATEGIC PLANNING AND FINANCE COMMITTEE NOVEMBER 2, 2017, TELECONFERENCE SUPPLEMENT NO. 3a DIII Mgmt Council 01/18 ACTION ITEMS. 1. Legislative Items. None. 2. Nonlegislative. a. Tennis Championship. (1) Recommendation. Approve the addition of a day off between the team competition and the start of the singles/doubles portion of the Division III Men s and Women s Tennis Championships. The team competition dates will remain Monday through Wednesday, with the off day on Thursday and the singles and doubles competition taking place Friday through Sunday. (2) Effective date. September 1, (3) Rationale. A day off would provide the student-athletes with additional recovery time to prepare for the singles and doubles competition. During the 2017 championships, the committees observed that a number of studentathletes competing in the team portion were also selected to compete in the individuals tournament. The committees feel that a day off would allow not only proper recovery time, but would also provide a more competitive environment for these student-athletes. Importantly, the NCAA travel department noted that additional per diem would not be a factor for travel parties under this recommendation. Studentathletes and nonstudent-athletes receive 4.5 days per diem for the team tournament and 4.5 days for the singles and doubles tournament. If a studentathlete competes in both, he or she would receive nine total days of per diem, which would cover the day off regardless of when that student s competition ended. It also would not affect per diem on days of travel. The only budget impact would come from an additional day of per diem and lodging for the committees, NCAA staff members and officials. Based on last year s costs and per diem, the committee believes this would require a $5,000 increase. (4) Estimated budget impact. $5,000. (5) Estimated student-athlete impact. The recommendation would positively affect student-athletes, as it would allow optimal recovery time during the championship week.

Approve funding for a one-year pilot in which the NCAA Eligibility Center will review the participation history of all Division III international first year ice hockey student-athletes. (2) Effective date. September 1, (3) Rationale. The Division III membership has noted the difficulty in certifying international student-athletes due to language barriers and unfamiliar educational systems. In response, staff has collaborated with the Eligibility Center (EC) to propose a sports participation review history of all international, first year men s and women s ice hockey players. On August 1, 2018, or later, institutions that sponsor men s and/or women s ice hockey must submit the names of the international first-year student-athletes on their men s and women s ice hockey rosters to the EC. All student-athletes must complete the Eligibility Center s free, online Profile Page to provide baseline information and obtain a unique NCAA ID number, and be accepted by and paid a deposit to the institution. Upon receipt of the roster, the EC will reach out to the international student-athletes for necessary additional information to review the sports participation history. The review will include an assessment of the teams and leagues with which a prospective student-athlete participated, evaluation of any compensation or other benefits associated with athletics participation and evaluation of possible agent involvement. Reviews will be completed in the order received and may require institutional involvement to address questions. The review will not include any evaluation of delayed collegiate enrollment (Division III Bylaw ). (4) Estimated budget impact. $10,000 for approximately 74 participation history reviews at $135 each. (5) Estimated student-athlete impact. None. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS. 1. Report from the June 27, 2017, in-person meeting. The committee approved the report from its June 27, 2017, in-person meeting. 2. Budget. The committee reviewed the final budget, the budget-to-actual report as of September 30, 2017, and the future budget model. The final budget reflects a $4.3 million overall surplus due to unanticipated revenue (allocation due to

69 Report of the Division III Strategic Planning And Finance Committee November 2, 2017 Page No. 3 investment sale for litigation settlement, allocation due to Arbiter sale, and championship travel expense adjustment). As anticipated, the nonchampionship budget was approximately $250K over budget due to expenses related to the Gameday the DIII Way sportsmanship initiative and partnership with the Disney Institute, which received prior approval from the governance structure. 3. Division III Conference Grant Program. a Conference Grant Spending Summary. During , a total of $2,537,821 was distributed to 42 conferences plus the Association of Division III Independents. The amount each conference received ranged from $47,015 to $88,303 with an average distribution of $59,093. The conference distribution amount is annually calculated with a formula that utilizes the number of member schools within each conference. b. Failure to Meet Grant Requirements. During the review of the impact forms, nine conferences did not properly use grant funds, based on the established conference grant policies and procedures. The subcommittee reviewed these findings and issued a warning letter regarding the following concerns: (1) Centennial Conference (Centennial). Issue: Tier One Compliance. Within Tier One, there is an annual requirement to spend grant dollars in the area of rules compliance. The Centennial did not spend dollars in this area during Corrective Action: No exceptions are given that would allow zero expenses in the compliance area. This was a first-time offense in this area of Tier One. A warning letter issued. (2) City University of New York Athletic Conference (CUNYAC). Issue: Tier One Faculty Athletics Representative (FAR). Within Tier One, there is an annual requirement to spend grant dollars in the area of FAR professional development. The CUNYAC did not spend dollars in this area during Corrective Action: As a result of this year s identified issue, combined with previous Tier One warnings issued in the past five years, the subcommittee will withhold $690 of the Tier Four administrative stipend from the grant fund allocations. This amount represents 23 percent of the $3,000 allocated for the administrative stipend. Because the policy violations, in the past and in this instance, have occurred in Tier One, the 23 percent penalty is directly correlated to the overall percentage of value that is allocated to Tier One within the grant program.

70 Report of the Division III Strategic Planning And Finance Committee November 2, 2017 Page No. 4 (3) College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW) Waning Rescinded. Staff note: During the initial staff review, the CCIW appeared to have an issue within Tier One related to the use of ethnic minority professional development funds. Further documentation from the conference proved proper spending in this area. As a result, NCAA staff rescinded the warning. (4) Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA). Issue: Tier Two. A conference school used $1,586 for equipment in its weight room. This usage constitutes a capital expense that does not advance the strategic goals of Division III, and should have been funded by the institution and not through strategic grant dollars. Beyond the limited exceptions in the areas of technology and athletic training room improvements that are identified in the policies, capital expenses are prohibited. Corrective Action: This was the first-time offense of any kind in the past five years. Accordingly, a warning letter was issued. (5) New England Women s and Men s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC). Issue: Tier One Campus Sports Information Director (SID). Within Tier One, there is an annual requirement to spend at least $1,000 in the area of campus SID professional development. The NEWMAC did not spend any dollars in this area during Corrective Action: As a result of this year s identified issue, combined with previous Tier One warnings issued in the past five years, the subcommittee will withhold $690 of the Tier Four administrative stipend from the grant fund allocations. This amount represents 23 percent of the $3,000 allocated for the administrative stipend. Because the policy violations, in the past and in this instance, have occurred in Tier One, the 23 percent penalty is directly correlated to the overall percentage of value that is allocated to Tier One within the grant program. (6) Northern Athletics Conference. Issue One: Tier One Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). Within Tier One, there is an annual requirement to spend grant dollars to support the conference SAAC equal to at least $200 times the number of institutions. The Northern Athletics Conference did not spend the required $2,400 and instead only spent $674 in this area.

71 Report of the Division III Strategic Planning And Finance Committee November 2, 2017 Page No. 5 Issue Two: The conference did not submit its report until Friday, August 4 at 8 a.m. While the commissioner cited some personal issues, there was no communication at all prior to the July 15 th deadline. The commissioner was informed of the $500 per week late fine policy. Corrective Actions: As a result of this year s first identified issue, combined with previous warnings issued in the past five years, the subcommittee will withhold $690 of the Tier Four administrative stipend from the grant fund allocations. This amount represents 23% of the $3,000 allocated for the administrative stipend. Because the policy violations, in the past and in this instance, have occurred in Tier One, the 23% penalty is directly correlated to the overall percentage of value that is allocated to Tier One within the grant program. Per grant policies, there is a fine of $500 per each week that the report is late. As such, the subcommittee will withhold $1,500 of the Tier Four administrative stipend from the grant fund allocations. In total, $2,190 will be withheld from the Tier Four administrative stipend in the allocations. (7) Presidents Athletic Conference (PAC). Issue: Tier One Ethnic Minority. Within Tier One, there is a biennial requirement to spend dollars in the area of ethnic minority professional development. The PAC did not spend any money in this area during or Corrective Action: This was the first-time offense of any kind in the past five years. Accordingly, a warning letter was issued. (8) Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC). Issue: Tier One FAR. Within Tier One, there is annual requirement to spend grant dollars in the area of FAR professional development. The SCAC did not spend dollars in this area during Corrective Action: This was the first-time offense in this area. Accordingly, a warning letter was issued. (9) Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC). Issue: Tier Two. A conference school used $500 to improve the women s locker room visual appeal. This use constitutes a capital expense that does not advance the strategic goals of Division III, and should have been funded by the institution and not through strategic grant dollars. Beyond the

72 Report of the Division III Strategic Planning And Finance Committee November 2, 2017 Page No. 6 limited exceptions in the areas of technology and athletic training room improvements that are identified in the policies, capital expenses are prohibited. Corrective Action: This was the first-time offense of any kind in past five years. Accordingly, a warning letter was issued. c. Failure to Submit Third Party Review Form. The committee noted that one conference failed to submit its Third Party Review Form by the October 15 deadline. The conference grant policies and procedures dictate defined penalties that include an automatic Level II assessment. While the committee agreed that this assessment should occur, it also noted that it did not assume that funds had been used inappropriately or inconsistently with the grant policies and procedures. d. Proposed Amendment to Tier One of the Conference Grant Policies. The committee approved the recommendation to modify language for Tier I. In the past, there has been continued confusion around the odd year, even year conference office requirements that are detailed within Tier One. The simplified policy rewording continues to meet the original intent of the strategic goal within this area of funding and maintains the limitation that no more than 25% of the Tier One total amount can be spent within the Conference Office Staff category. The new policy language states conference office staff funds may include the following: (1) Attendance at D3CA summer meetings; (2) CoSIDA and/or ECAC SIDA meetings; (3) NCAA Convention; (4) NCAA Regional Rules Seminars; (5) Women s Leaders in College Sports Convention; (6) NCAA Equity and Inclusion Forum; (7) NCAA Women s Leadership Symposium; (8) Women s Leaders in College Sports Institutes (Administrative Advancement, Leadership Enhancement and Executive); and (9) Title IX seminars, generally. The conference office must use some Tier One dollars to provide the conference SID with professional development programming at least every other year. No more than 25% of the Tier One total amount can be spent within the Conference Office Staff category. 4. Division III Initiatives Budget Impact. a CoSIDA Student Program. The committee received an update on this new

73 Report of the Division III Strategic Planning And Finance Committee November 2, 2017 Page No. 7 b. initiative. The budget for 2017 was $6,600 to fund six female and/or ethnic minority students with an interest in a career in athletics communication to attend the CoSIDA convention. c New Athletics Directors (AD) Orientation. Twenty-four participants participated in the new AD Orientation program in Orlando, June The overall participant feedback was positive. d Senior Woman Administrator (SWA) Program. Twenty-nine attended this year s SWA program in conjunction with the Women Leaders in Sport Convention. The program budget was approximately $85,000. e Faculty Athletics Representatives (FAR) Institute. Twenty-one attended this year s FAR Institute, a decrease of approximately nine from previous years. The program budget was $85, Division III Membership-wide Survey. The committee reviewed a first draft of the 2018 Division III Membership-wide Survey. The survey provides Division III institutions an opportunity to express their opinions concerning the current future policies and priorities of Division III and will be sent in the spring of The President and Management Councils will review a revised draft during their January meetings Division III Legislation SAAC Composition. The committee reviewed a membership legislative proposal, as well as a Presidents Council sponsored amendment-to-amendment regarding the national SAAC committee composition. It noted that either proposal, if passed by the membership, will have a budget impact. 7. Update on Association-wide Strategic Plan. The committee received an update on the Association-wide strategic plan. The Association is currently in an RFP process to help with the development of this plan. The goal is to have a draft plan to share with the membership at the 2019 NCAA Convention. 8. Future Meetings. The Strategic Planning and Finance Committee will hold its in-person meeting Tuesday, March 27, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the NCAA national office. 9. Adjournment. The teleconference adjourned at 2:55 p.m.

79 SUPPLEMENT NO. 4b DIII Mgmt Council 01/18 ACTION ITEMS. None. REPORT OF THE NCAA DIVISION III CHAMPIONSHIPS COMMITTEE OCTOBER 24, 2017, TELECONFERENCE INFORMATIONAL ITEMS. 1. Recent reports. The committee approved reports from its September in-person meeting and October 5 electronic mail as submitted. 2. Sport committee reports. a. Field hockey. The committee did not support a request from the Division III Field Hockey Committee to increase the per diem reimbursement for the 2017 Division III Field Hockey Championship, which will be held jointly with the Divisions I and II championships. The Championships Committee acknowledged a few instances in the past when per diem reimbursement was modified for a celebratory combined championship (essentially to accommodate lodging in a more expensive locale) but also noted that the Division III championships at most combined events (women s rowing and men s lacrosse, for example) retain the Division III reimbursement rate. Accordingly, the committee saw no compelling reason to increase the per diem reimbursement for the 2017 field hockey championship. b. Women s golf. The committee revisited an issue it had considered at its September inperson meeting regarding whether to permit two coaches to give advice during championships competition. The proposal came from the Division III Men s Golf Committee, but the Championships Committee tabled the request in order to allow the Division III Women s Golf Committee to weigh in on the matter. After consideration, the Women s Golf Committee indicated it would prefer not to enact the change in the middle of the academic year without more notice to institutions, as many compete in fall tournaments. The committee also prefers that institutions sponsoring women s golf be surveyed like the men s golf coaches were in advance of the recommendation. As such, the Championships Committee agreed that the men s request remain tabled until feedback from the women s coaches is obtained. 3. Women s ice hockey misconduct appeal. The committee considered an institution s appeal of misconduct penalties the Division III Women s Ice Hockey Committee assessed for an incident that occurred during the 2017 Division III Women s Ice Hockey Championship in Adrian, Michigan. The Championships Committee supported all of the penalties the ice hockey committee imposed except for the per diem reimbursement for the official travel party, which the Championships Committee reduced from 3.5 days to 1.5 days.

The committee reviewed the impact of changes made to the financial aid review criteria established prior to the reporting cycle where the sport filter was introduced. Across three reporting cycles, the sport filter has resulted in 155 Level I reviews. Fortyfive of those were institutions reviewed for the first time and 31 of the 155 would not have triggered a review under the previous review criteria. Overall, 263 institutions, 59 percent of the Division III membership have triggered a review by the committee across the 13 years of the reporting program. The committee endorsed the current review criteria noting its effectiveness in identifying potential compliance issues at a broader range of institutions than the previous review criteria. Findings from further analyses will be presented at future committee meetings. 5. Review of Division III financial aid interpretive requests. The committee reviewed a summary of interpretive requests received by the Academic and Membership Affairs staff between January 1, 2017 and August 1, NCAA Bylaws (No Relationship to Athletics Leadership, Ability, Participation or Performance) and (Athletics Staff Involvement) were the most commonly cited within the requests. This will become a standing item on future committee agendas.

90 Report of the NCAA Division III Financial Aid Committee November 13-14, 2017, Meeting Page No Division III financial aid compliance resources. The committee reviewed three currently available compliance resources Staying Compliant with Division III Rules, Division III Consistent Financial Aid Package Resource, and Division III Financial Aid from Outside Sources. The committee noted the importance of these documents and encouraged staff to continually look for opportunities to disseminate them broadly across the Division III membership. 7. Review of major infractions cases. The committee reviewed the latest financial aid major infractions cases involving Methodist University and Elmhurst College. 8. Financial aid hot topics: review of the Maryland ban on scholarship displacement. The committee reviewed available information on the Maryland state legislation banning scholarship displacement at public colleges and universities. Displacement is a process where a student s institutional aid amount could be reduced when the student has received outside aid. The committee discussed the potential consequences of this legislation on other states, private higher education institutions and compliance with Division III financial aid bylaws. The committee agreed to continue to track the issue at future meetings. 9. Review of financial aid items from the 2018 Division III membership survey. The committee members reviewed the draft of the financial aid regulations section of the survey. Their suggestions included the potential addition of two questions and an opencomment field. The two proposed questions covered the topics of the adequacy of financial aid compliance resources and the potential of expanding the financial aid reporting program data collection beyond first-year students. 10. Introduction to Tableau (a data visualization tool). NCAA staff demonstrated how Tableau could be used with the currently warehoused financial aid data. The committee agreed that the most immediate and relevant use of the tool would be at their Level II review meeting where data trends for institutions under review could be easily examined. The committee also discussed the possibility of using Tableau as a replacement for the institution-level Summary Report that is created on an annual basis. The possibility of integrating the warehoused financial aid data with the Division III Institutional Performance Program (IPP) was also discussed. The committee noted potential issues with this, including relevance and confidentiality, but agreed to continue discussion at future meetings.

92 SUPPLEMENT NO. 6a DIII Mgmt Council 01/18 REPORT OF THE NCAA DIVISION III INTERPRETATIONS AND LEGISLATION COMMITTEE OCTOBER 19, 2017, TELECONFERENCE KEY ITEMS. The committee began its review of the 2018 NCAA Convention Proposals Question and Answer guide. ACTION ITEMS. 1. Legislative items. None. 2. Nonlegislative items. Approval of Official Interpretation Varsity Coach Involvement with an Institutional Club or Non-NCAA Sponsored Varsity Team. (1) Recommendation. That the Management Council archive an official interpretation (4/22/2016, Item No. 2b) and approve the following official interpretation: Varsity Coach Involvement with an Institutional Club or Non-NCAA Sponsored Varsity Team (III). The Interpretations and Legislation Committee determined that a member institution's coach may not be involved in any capacity outside the declared playing and practice season with an institutional club or non-ncaa sponsored varsity team, in any sport, if the institutional club or non-ncaa sponsored varsity team includes a student-athlete from that coach's sport. [References: NCAA Division III Bylaws (out-of-season athletically related activities), (involvement of coaching staff) and an Official Interpretation (12/12/1994, Item No. 14), which has been archived.] (2) Effective date. Immediate. (3) Rationale. During its September 2017 meeting, the Interpretations and Legislation Committee reviewed an interpretive issue pertaining to the application of the playing and practice seasons legislation for varsity sports that are not sponsored by the NCAA. Specifically, the committee discussed whether a coaching staff member who coaches an institution s NCAA sponsored men's volleyball team, is permitted to coach an institution s men's varsity beach volleyball team that includes current volleyball student-

93 Report of the NCAA Division III Interpretations And Legislation Committee October 19, 2017, Teleconference Page No. 2 athletes. The committee requested staff amend the official interpretation [Reference: 4/22/2016, Item No. 2b] to reflect that an institution's coach may not be involved in any capacity outside the declared playing and practice season with an institution's non-ncaa sponsored varsity team, in any sport, if the varsity team includes a student-athlete from the coach's NCAA sport. This interpretation clarifies that distinction. (4) Estimated budget impact. None. (5) Student-athlete impact. None. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS. 1. Review September Report. The committee reviewed and approved the report from its September in-person meeting NCAA Convention Question and Answer Guide. The committee began its review of the 2018 NCAA Convention Proposals Question and Answer guide and offered questions for staff to include therein. 3. Future Meetings.

95 SUPPLEMENT NO. 6b DIII Mgmt Council 01/18 REPORT OF THE NCAA DIVISION III INTERPRETATIONS AND LEGISLATION COMMITTEE NOVEMBER 16, 2017, TELECONFERENCE ACTION ITEMS. 1. Legislative items. a. Convention Legislation Amateurism Pre-enrollment Educational Expenses NCAA Bylaws and Nonlegislative items. None. (1) Recommendation. That the Management Council sponsor Convention legislation to permit individuals to accept educational expenses prior to collegiate enrollment from any individual other than an agent, professional sports team/organization or representative of an institution's athletics interests, provided such expenses are disbursed directly through the recipient's educational institution. (2) Effective Date. August 1, (3) Rationale. Current legislation precludes prospective student-athletes from receiving educational expenses for secondary education when athletics participation is considered. This standard is more restrictive than the standard that is imposed on current student-athletes who are permitted to receive such assistance in recognition of high school athletics leadership, ability, participation or performance from an established and continuing program. It seems inconsistent that prospective student-athletes should be held to a higher standard than current student-athletes as it relates to the receipt of educational expenses to attend a secondary institution. This proposal would allow for consistency in application between prospective student-athletes and current student-athletes. (4) Budget Impact. None. (5) Student-Athlete Impact. None. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS. 1. Review October Report. The committee reviewed and approved the report from its October 19, 2017, teleconference.

96 Report of the NCAA Division III Interpretations And Legislation Committee November 16, 2017, Teleconference Page No Review Noninstitutional Sport Specific Facilities Outside the Playing Season. The committee discussed whether providing student-athletes access outside the playing season to noninstitutional facilities specific to their sport should be considered an extra benefit, if the institution does not have those sport specific facilities. The committee agreed that providing student-athletes access outside of the playing season, and during the academic year, is not an extra benefit but rather, a benefit incidental to student-athlete participation in intercollegiate athletics. To provide clarification to the membership, the committee instructed staff to draft an official interpretation for its review at a future meeting NCAA Convention Question and Answer Guide. The committee continued its review of the 2018 NCAA Convention Proposals Question and Answer guide. 4. Other Business. None. 5. Adjournment. The committee adjourned at 1:04 p.m. Eastern time.

Welcome and Announcements. The chair commenced business at 1:08 p.m. Eastern time Thursday, October 18, Roster and Conflict of Interest. Committee members were reminded of the NCAA Conflict of Interest Policy and proper procedures for recusal if a conflict of interest might arise. Committee members followed the recusal procedures during all deliberations. 3. Review August 2017 Teleconference Report. The committee reviewed and approved its August 2017 teleconference report. 4. Sports Sponsorship During Exploratory Year. The committee discussed institutions who are in the exploratory year of Division III membership and are not meeting sportssponsorship requirements prior to application to the provisional/reclassifying membership process. The committee noted that previously, the requirement to meet sports-sponsorship minimums prior to an institution submitting an exploratory year application was removed. NCAA staff requested that committee members begin thinking about actions staff can take when confronted with an institution in the exploratory year that is not meeting requirements in preparation for its application for membership. 5. Sports-Sponsorship Waiver Request Sweet Briar College. The committee denied a request from Sweet Briar College for a waiver of NCAA Bylaw (sports sponsorship), Bylaw (institution with enrollment of 1,000 students or fewer) and Bylaw (minimum contests and participants). Specifically, the institution failed to meet minimum sports-sponsorship requirements in women s cross country, women s golf, women s lacrosse and women s swimming and diving. As a result of these deficiencies, the institution also failed to sponsor the minimum of three team sports and failed to sponsor a winter sport. In denying the waiver, the committee noted the institution previously received a one-time waiver for the academic year and currently has a lower undergraduate enrollment than during that academic year. The committee also noted that the institution s recruitment numbers are not trending positively and the institution did not endeavor to sponsor more than the minimum number of contests. As a result of the

98 Report of the NCAA Division III Membership Committee October 18, 2017, Teleconference Page No. 2 denial, the institution will be placed on probation for a five-year period retroactive to September 1, The committee also required the institution to submit sportssponsorship results for all sports at the close of each sport season and waived the typical requirement that the institution complete the Athletics Program Assessment at the end of the academic year. 6. Sports-Sponsorship Waiver Request City College of New York. The committee denied a request from City College of New York for a waiver of Bylaw (minimum contests and participants). Specifically, the institution failed to meet minimum sports-sponsorship requirements in women s indoor and outdoor track and field. In denying the waiver, the committee noted that while they understand the difficulties associated with losing a member of the athletic training staff, that the health and safety of student-athletes is of paramount concern and necessitates an expanded reach for qualified individuals to fill the role. The committee also noted an imbalance in the number of female student-athletes as compared to the male student-athlete population and encouraged the institution to enhance recruitment efforts. As a result of the denial, the institution will be placed on probation for a five-year period retroactive to September 1, Athletics Consortium Waiver Request Newbury College. The committee reviewed and approved the request from Newbury College to form an athletics consortium with Hellenic College Holy Cross. In approving the request, the committee noted that the institution has held an academic relationship with the consortium institution since 2000 and was previously approved for an athletics consortium by Newbury s athletics conference. 8. Review of Year-Four Exit Form. The committee reviewed comments and feedback from the exit form of Bryn Athyn College, one of the most recent membership process graduates. The committee was pleased at the feedback provided by the institution and agreed that the recently updated exit form questions have been invaluable in eliciting information on the membership process from new active members. 9. Reminders and discussion for mentors traveling to campus visits. Staff reminded the committee members who are traveling to campus visits to coordinate with their respective staff liaisons and informed the committee that resources for the campus visit are forthcoming. 10. Other business. Staff and the chair thanked the committee members who traveled to campus visits. The staff also noted that Jonathan Harper, Newbury College; and Steven Rackley, Alma College, will be joining the committee as new members. The new members will sit in on upcoming teleconferences as part of their orientation process prior to officially joining the committee.

106 ATTACHMENT This document details the pros and cons the national Student-Athlete Advisory Committee has considered to date. Please note this is not an exhaustive list. This document is intended to help guide institution and conference discussions and considerations. JULY 15-16, 2017, MEETING and 2017 October Survey ELIGIBILITY ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT AND IMPERMISSIBLE ACADEMIC ASSISTANCE PROS Simpler, does not change much just improves the system and makes it clearer. Support CONS Will allow misconduct violations to be more accurate in the future. ETHICAL CONDUCT SPORTS WAGERING ACTIVITIES SANCTIONS ELIMINATION OF LEGISLATED SANCTIONS PROS Allows for less serious (unintentional) cases of sports wagering to be heard and appealed. Support CONS AMATEURISM -- PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES INSTITUTIONAL, CHARITBLE, EDUCATIONAL OR NONPROFIT PROMOTIONS EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENT PROS Will help student-athletes bring attention to charitable and educational causes. Support CONS Reduces administrative burden.

107 2017 NCAA Division III Student-Athlete Advisory Committee Legislation Chart Page No. 2 ELIGIBILITY -- GRADUATE AND POSTBACCALAUREATE ELIGIBILTY STUDENTS GRADUATING FROM DIVISION III INSTITUTION PROS Limits the ability for DI and DII athletes to transfer to DIII to continue education/career. Support CONS Schools without graduate programs are disadvantaged. Allows more opportunity for student-athletes. Provides student-athletes a chance to achieve new athletic and academic goals. The effect of graduate students coming in and taking time away from current SAs. Allows student-athletes more opportunity to continue playing their sport past the undergraduate level while not limiting them to the institution they can partipcate at. PLAYING AND PRACTICE SEASONS ANNUAL CONTEST EXEMPTIONS ALUMNI CONTESTS PROS Support CONS This exemption could be used at any point in the season. Allows coaches more discretion with using their scrimmages but still having the opportunity for the alumni game (whether competitive or more for fun). Alumni contests are good for fan following and financial support. Gives alumni more opportunities to be involved and continue relationships with alumni. Just dealt with exemptions last year. Next year institutions will ask for this alumni exemption to be lumped into a general exemption. When will it end? There is a difference between contest sports and date-of-competition sports. Could be a potential injury risk for studentathletes. Alumni game would be less serious since it is not a countable contest.

108 2017 NCAA Division III Student-Athlete Advisory Committee Legislation Chart Page No. 3 PLAYING AND PRACTICE SEASONS BASKETBALL FIRST PERMISSIBLE CONTEST NOVEMBER 8 PROS Potentially could mean that student-athletes could have the week after Christmas back if coaches could schedule a game one week earlier and do not have to use that week to get in another game. Student-athletes are ready to play by the time the season rolls around so this proposal will help reduce preseason time, which may feel too long. Gives basketball programs more flexibility in scheduling. Support CONS Could impact gym availability. PLAYING AND PRACTICE SEASONS FOOTBALL ESTABLISHING PRESEASON START DATE 25 DAYS FROM FIRST PERMISSIBLE SATURDAY CONTEST Provides player safety. PROS Support CONS PLAYING AND PRACTICE SEASONS ICE HOCKEY FIRST PERMISSIBLE ON- ICE PRACTICE DATE SECOND MONDAY IN OCTOBER PROS Provides student-athletes with more on ice practice time before the first contest. Support CONS Trainer availability especially with offcampus facilities. Provides player safety. Just had legislation to move the off-ice practice date earlier and had the conversation that allowing that would be a slippery slope.

109 2017 NCAA Division III Student-Athlete Advisory Committee Legislation Chart Page No. 4 ELIGIBILITY OF MEMBERSHIP STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHANGE IN COMPOSITION PROS It can give conferences an equal voice. Provides more opportunity for student-athletes to get involved and to experience the NCAA legislative system. Provides each conference with appropriate representation at the national level. Support Amendment Oppose Original CONS It would be difficult to run a meeting with upwards of 40 people. The issue is that people aren t involved; adding more SAACers isn t the way to get people involved. Meetings would not be productive.

For violations where the value of the benefit is greater than $13,000, the committee directed NCAA student-athlete reinstatement staff to consider on a case-by-case basis whether the circumstances warrant a community service condition greater than 100 hours. The committee affirmed community service hours must be completed within one calendar year of the institution receiving the reinstatement decision or prior to the student-athlete exhausting his or her eligibility (whichever comes first). The committee confirmed the current withholding guidelines and an assessment of culpability of an involved prospective student-athlete or enrolled student-athlete remains applicable to these violations.

The proposal eliminates traditional two-a-day practices, allows the use of footballs during walkthroughs and allows flexibility around daily practice times (e.g. four hours per day, with a maximum of three hours of contact practice).

139 SUPPLEMENT NO. 17 DIII Mgmt Council 01/18 REPORT OF THE NCAA OLYMPIC SPORTS LIAISON COMMITTEE OCTOBER 11-12, 2017, MEETING ACTION ITEMS. None. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS. 1. September 21-22, 2016, meeting and January 13, 2017, teleconference reports. The NCAA Olympic Sports Liaison Committee approved the reports and noted that the recommendation to amend NCAA Bylaw (composition) to specify that one student-athlete from each division shall serve as a voting member of the committee has since been approved and implemented. 2. U.S. Olympic Committee Collegiate Advisory Council overview. U.S. Olympic Committee staff members along with Kevin White, Duke University vice president and director of athletics and chair of the USOC Collegiate Advisory Council, joined the meeting to provide an overview of the council s purpose and recent (first) meeting. The council was formed to enhance engagement between the USOC and collegiate programs, which have served as a significant pipeline of talent development for Team USA. In its first meeting, the council identified two key areas for its initial work: (1) develop operating procedures (e.g., address representation for all key stakeholders); and (2) construct a mission statement to reflect ongoing work. The committee looks forward to following the council s work. 3. Paralympic and adaptive sports. USOC staff presented an update on Paralympic and adaptive sports, which highlighted the impact of collegiate programs on Team USA Paralympic teams. Several ideas of potential collaboration were exchanged, including committee participation in the upcoming Collegiate Para Sport Summit and the designation of a committee member to serve as a liaison to the USOC Paralympic staff. USOC staff proposed that the committee consider a change to its name to reflect the role of collegiate programs in Paralympic and adaptive sports. They also suggested a review of current NCAA bylaws to address Paralympic participation and opportunities for collegiate student-athletes who currently must pursue a waiver of NCAA legislation to compete in Paralympic and adaptive sports events. Given the various ways that Paralympic and adaptive sports participation is currently administered by colleges and universities (i.e., within the athletics department versus outside of athletics), the committee discussed these ideas and suggesions, but took no action. However, the committee will seek input from other NCAA committees (e.g., Disability Subcommittee of the joint NCAA Committee on Women s Athletics and NCAA Minority Opportunities and Interests Committee) regarding these ideas and suggestions.

140 Report of the NCAA Olympic Sports Liaison Committee October 11-12, 2017, Meeting Page No U.S. Olympic Committee update.

144 Report of the NCAA Research Committee September 28-29, 2017, Meeting Page No Nonlegislative items. None. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS. 1. Discussion of the NCAA Graduate Student Research Grant Program process. The committee reviewed the 2017 grant program review process, which was adopted during the 2016 committee meeting. The committee determined the process ran smoothly and would like to maintain the format in the future. Additionally, the committee decided to modify the award structure for the Graduate Student Research Grant Program, beginning in While maintaining the maximum award cap of $7,500, the committee decided to set limits on educational expenses (e.g., graduate units, student fees) and educational hardware (e.g., laptops, tablets, desktop computers); maximums will be set at $2,000 and $1,000, respectively. Research funding remains limited to data gathering, analyses and presentation of findings at academic conferences by the graduate student. Funding to support travel for research dissemination remains restricted to the graduate student grantee and is capped at $1,500 of budget. In addition to updating the 2018 Call for Proposals to outline the new budget structure, sample budgets and narratives will be updated on the NCAA research website to reflect these modifications Graduate Student Research Grant Program selections. The committee reviewed the Graduate Student Research Grant Program proposals and determined that it would fund the following five proposals: a.

External collaborations with United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and National Survey for Student Engagement (NSSE). The committee was informed of two recent external collaborations with the USOC and NSSE. Future USOC collaborations include designing a shared athlete database, beginning with 2018 Winter Olympians. Additionally, NCAA research will work with the USOC Athlete Career & Education staff to design an athlete postretirement survey, similar to SCORE. Future NSSE collaborations include submitting a proposal to the Intercollegiate Athletics as a High Impact Practice Conference (February 2018), reintroducing a sport-specific NSSE item in the 2018 administration, and replicating entitlement measures from the NCAA Study of Student-Athlete Social Environments as an experimental item in NSSE c. NCAA Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) feedback regarding current and former student-athlete sampling. Staff informed the committee about the development of a current student-athlete research panel. This panel would be a representative group of student-athletes from all three divisions who would agree to participate in brief surveys via smart phone a few times per year. During April 2017, the three divisional SAAC boards supported going forward with panel development. While the Divisions I, II and III SAACs believed that campus SAACs could assist with the recruitment of student-athletes to serve on these panels, many felt that the overall campus coordination effort should be overseen by an athletics administrator and not SAAC. The committee asked that the research staff continue to explore the development of such a panel. d. Data visualization tools. The committee was apprised of the research department s efforts in moving a range of datasets into Tableau, which is data visualization software. 4. Ongoing research efforts.

How to read the NCAA Division III legislative proposals. When reviewing legislative proposals, it is important to note that: a. The letters and words that appear in italics and strikethrough are letters and words in the current NCAA Division III rule that would be deleted with the adoption of the proposal; b. The letters and words that appear in bold face and underlined are letters and words that would be added with the adoption of the proposal; and c. The letters and words that appear in normal text are letters and words in the current Division III rule that would remain unchanged with the adoption of the proposal. 2. What appears in the white pages of the NCAA Division III Official Notice? The white pages of the NCAA Division III Official Notice contain the legislative proposals that will be voted on individually at the NCAA Division III business session. Anticipated questions and answers related to each of the proposals appearing in the white pages are contained in this question and answer guide. 3. What is the difference between the Presidents Council grouping and the general grouping of proposals? The NCAA Division III Presidents Council has determined that it will focus primarily on those national issues in Division III athletics that prompt widespread concern among Division III chancellors or presidents. The Presidents Council has identified five proposals that it believes are of particular interest to Division III chancellors or presidents and has included them in the Presidents Council grouping. The remaining proposals are included in the general grouping. All proposals have been identified by the Presidents Council for a roll-call vote. 4. What appears in the blue pages of the Official Notice? The blue pages of the Official Notice contain three types of legislative proposals. The proposals appearing in the blue pages have already been adopted by the authority of the NCAA Division III Management Council. These proposals have an immediate effective date from the time of adoption. These groups of proposals will be ratified by the NCAA Division III membership during the Division III business session. If a delegate objects to the incorporation of any one of these legislative proposals, that objection should be raised prior to the ratification of the

151 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 4 package of proposals. (It is preferred that any delegate intending to raise an objection also inform a member of the NCAA academic and membership affairs staff of that intent before the Division III business session.) The Division III membership would then vote on the proposal in question via a separate action. The question and answer document does not address proposals that are included in the blue pages. The blue pages, however, include an "additional information" section with each proposal that provides additional clarification regarding the proposal. The three types of legislation contained within the blue pages are listed below. (1) Interpretations to be incorporated in the NCAA Division III Manual. These interpretations have already been accepted by the membership and the only issue that is before the membership is whether they should be set forth in the Division III Manual. (2) Noncontroversial legislation adopted by the Management Council. These proposals constitute all of the noncontroversial legislative changes the Management Council has adopted during the past year. The Management Council is permitted to adopt such legislation, if it is necessary, to promote the normal and orderly administration of the Association's legislation. (3) Modifications of wording. These proposals are modifications to current legislation that have been shown to be consistent with the intent of the membership in adopting the current legislation. To approve such a change, the Management Council has determined that sufficient documentation and testimony exists to establish clearly that the original wording of the legislation requires modification to better reflect the original intent.

152 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 5 Questions and Answers 2018 NCAA Convention Division III Legislative Proposals NCAA Division III Proposal Number (2-1). Title: ELIGIBILITY -- ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT AND IMPERMISSIBLE ACADEMIC ASSISTANCE. Effective Date: August 1, Source: Intent: NCAA Division III Presidents Council [Management Council (Interpretations and Legislation Committee)]. To define pre-enrollment and post-enrollment academic misconduct; clarify the individuals and activities to which the legislation applies; and clarify when an institution must report an academic misconduct violation. Specifically, academic misconduct as an NCAA violation is primarily conditioned first on a finding by the institution that its own policies have been violated, and then if the institutional violation involved any of the following: (1) an institutional staff member or athletics representative along with a student athlete; (2) an erroneous declaration of eligibility; or (3) an alteration of a transcript or academic record (alteration by an institutional staff member would constitute academic misconduct regardless if it violated the institution's policies). Further, if an institution's policies were not violated and academic misconduct was not found, then establish an impermissible academic assistance analysis in lieu of an extra benefit analysis. Question No. 1: Answer: How is the proposed legislation different from the current legislation? This proposal identifies which institutional academic integrity issues must also be reported as NCAA violations. There are four primary areas where the proposed legislation is different than the current legislation. Those four are as follows: 1. The proposed legislation requires an institution to have policies and procedures that address issues of academic integrity for all students.

153 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 6 Institutional Policies and Procedures Current Legislation Not required. Proposed Legislation Maintain and follow policies and procedures regarding academic misconduct that are: written; accessible; and apply to general student body. Content and scope determined by institution. 2. The proposed legislation defines "institutional staff member" and expands a reportable academic misconduct to include when an institutional staff or booster is involved. An "institutional staff member" is: Any individual, excluding a student employee, who performs work for the institution or athletics department, regardless of whether the individual receives compensation for the work. A student employee, however, is an institutional staff member if: a. He or she has institutional responsibilities to provide academic services to student-athletes; or

154 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 7 b. He or she engages in academic misconduct or provides impermissible academic assistance at the direction of a nonstudent employee, a student employee who has institutional responsibilities to provide academic services to student-athletes or a representative of the institution's athletics interests. 3. The proposed legislation eliminates an academic integrity issue from being processed as an extra benefit and substitutes an impermissible academic assistance analysis. Impermissible academic assistance analysis: Focuses on whether student-athletes have been treated consistently with students generally; whereas, the academic misconduct analysis primarily focuses on whether conduct violates an institution's academic integrity policies and procedures. An impermissible academic assistance violation occurs if all the following are present: a. A current or former institutional staff member or representative of an institution's athletics interest provides the impermissible academic assistance;

155 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 8 b. The institution determines that academic misconduct has not occurred pursuant to its policies and procedures; c. The academic assistance or academic exception provided is not generally available to the institution's student body or students involved in the course; d. The assistance is substantial (Determining substantial is a fact specific determination looking at the amount of assistance provided to the student-athlete and whether that assistance was of significant value to the student-athlete.); e. The assistance is not permitted in NCAA Division III Bylaw 16.3; and f. The assistance leads to the certification of a student-athlete's eligibility to practice or compete. 4. Conduct that would constitute both academic misconduct and an extra benefit under the current legislation would, pursuant to the proposed legislation, be either academic misconduct or impermissible academic assistance but not both.

156 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 9 The proposed impermissible academic assistance legislation differs from the current extra benefit legislation as follows: Currently, the extra benefit legislation applies when "academic benefits" are provided to student-athletes that are not generally available to the institution's students. Under the current legislation, institutions could be subject to both an academic misconduct violation and extra benefit violation. Additionally, an extra benefit violation could involve assistance between only students even when a student is not an institutional staff member, and the current legislation does not specify how much assistance could lead to an extra benefit violation. The impermissible academic assistance legislation replaces the application of the extra benefit analysis, providing necessary parameters and clarity to the treatment of academic benefits provided to student-athletes that are not generally available to an institution's student body. Question No. 2: Answer: What are the different types of academic integrity-related offenses that are considered to be NCAA violations? There are four types of academic integrity-related offenses that are considered to be a violation of the proposed legislation: 1. Academic misconduct (as defined and limited by the legislation); 2. The provision or arrangement of impermissible academic assistance by a current or former institutional staff member or representative of an institution's athletics interests to a student-athlete; 3. A departure from academic misconduct policies and procedures in the investigation and adjudication of alleged academic misconduct involving a student-athlete; and 4. Pre-enrollment academic misconduct. The chart below is instructive in determining the analysis for an institution.

157 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 10 Question No. 3: Answer: Question No. 4: Answer: Question No. 5: Answer: Who determines whether certain conduct constitutes academic misconduct at a given institution? The institution determines whether the conduct violated or breached its own policies and procedures regarding academic misconduct. What is alteration or falsification of a student-athlete's transcript or academic record? Alteration or falsification of a student-athlete's transcript or academic record is changing or doctoring transcripts or arranging to receive credit for a course in which a student-athlete did not enroll or complete (i.e., fraudulent academic credit). If a student-athlete on my campus is suspected or accused of being involved in academic misconduct, must I immediately report the issue to the NCAA enforcement staff? No. Before reporting, an institution has the responsibility and obligation to determine whether academic misconduct has occurred pursuant to institutional policies and procedures. However, it is not unusual for an institution to request assistance from the NCAA for interpretive or investigative issues.

158 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 11 Question No. 6: Answer: Once my institution has determined academic misconduct involving a student-athlete occurred, is my institution required to report each and every finding of academic misconduct to the NCAA? No. Not every finding of institutional academic misconduct is a violation. An NCAA academic misconduct violation occurs when: 1. A student-athlete commits academic misconduct alone or in concert with another student(s) who is not an institutional staff member, and the academic misconduct results in: a. The alteration or falsification of a student-athlete's transcript or academic record; or b. An erroneous declaration of eligibility to participate in intercollegiate athletics and the student-athlete subsequently competes while ineligible. 2. A current or former institutional staff member or representative of athletics interests is involved in the academic misconduct involving a student-athlete, regardless of whether the misconduct involved alteration or falsification of a student-athlete's transcript or academic record or an erroneous declaration of eligibility. Question No. 7: Answer: Question No. 8: An institution's academic support services for student-athletes are provided by a unit that reports directly to the institution's provost, outside the athletics department. Would student tutors employed by this unit be considered "institutional staff members" for purposes of the academic misconduct and impermissible academic assistance legislation? Yes. Those student employees whose responsibilities include providing academic services to student-athletes (e.g., tutors) would be considered "institutional staff members" for purposes of the academic misconduct and impermissible academic assistance legislation regardless of whether the academic support services for student-athletes are provided by a unit that reports to a department outside athletics. An institution's athletics department directs all of its student-athletes to use the tutoring services made available through its general nonathletics student support services center. Would student tutors employed by this nonathletics student support services center be considered "institutional staff members" for purposes of the academic misconduct and impermissible academic assistance legislation?

159 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 12 Answer: Question No. 9: Answer: Question No. 10: Answer: Yes. If the institution directs all of its student-athletes to seek tutoring services from the nonathletics student support services unit, the student tutors would be considered "institutional staff members" for purposes of the academic misconduct and impermissible academic assistance legislation. Would a student employee who offers general tutoring to all first-year students be considered an "institutional staff member" for purposes of the academic misconduct and impermissible academic assistance legislation? No. Unless the student employee's responsibilities specifically include the provision of tutoring services for student-athletes, a student employee whose tutoring services are generally available to all students would not be considered an "institutional staff member" for purposes of the academic misconduct and impermissible academic assistance legislation. Can an institutional determination of academic misconduct between a student and student-athlete rise to the level of a violation under the academic misconduct legislation? Yes, but only if the misconduct between the two students resulted in either of the following: 1. An erroneous declaration of eligibility to participate in intercollegiate athletics and the student-athlete subsequently competes while ineligible; or 2. The alteration or falsification of the student-athlete's transcript or academic record. Question No. 11: Answer: What potential scenarios may result in an institution determining, pursuant to its policies and procedures, that academic misconduct has not occurred? The following are examples of situations in which an institution is considered to have determined that academic misconduct did not occur: 1. There is no institutional policy addressing the particular conduct that occurred; 2. The institution is unable to make a determination that misconduct occurred;

160 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No The institution does not conduct or complete its review of the alleged academic integrity issue for any reason (e.g., because the student-athlete departed the institution); or 4. The institution makes a specific determination that the conduct was not academic misconduct. Only a finding that academic misconduct has occurred pursuant to an institution's policies and procedures would preclude further analysis under the impermissible academic assistance legislation. Question No. 12: Answer: Does the proposal change current pre-enrollment academic misconduct legislation? No. The substance of pre-enrollment academic misconduct legislation remains the same. However, the proposal moves the pre-enrollment academic misconduct legislation from Bylaw 10 to Bylaw 14. Proposal Number: (2-2). Title: ETHICAL CONDUCT -- SPORTS WAGERING ACTIVITIES -- SANCTIONS -- ELIMINATION OF LEGISLATED SANCTIONS Effective Date: Immediate. Source: Intent: NCAA Division III Presidents Council [Management Council (Student-Athlete Reinstatement Committee)]. To eliminate the legislated penalty for sports wagering activities. Question No. 1: Answer: What is the current rule regarding student-athlete participation in sports wagering activities? Student-athletes are prohibited from participating in sports wagering activities or from providing information to individuals involved in or associated with any type of sports wagering activities for sports in which the NCAA conducts championship competition, bowl subdivision football or emerging sports for women.

161 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 14 All sports wagering activity in violation of the rule outlined above constitutes an NCAA violation. Certain types of sports wagering activity result in a minimum penalty mandated by NCAA legislation. Question No. 2: What types of sports wagering activities invoke the minimum legislated sanctions and what are those current legislated sanctions? Answer: The current legislated minimum sanctions are set forth in Bylaw (sanctions). Under Bylaw (a), a student-athlete who engages in activities designed to influence the outcome of an intercollegiate contest in an effort to affect win-loss margins (i.e., "point shaving"), or who participates in any sport wagering activity involving the student-athlete's institution, permanently loses all remaining regular-season and postseason eligibility in all sports. Bylaw (b) states that a student-athlete who participates in any sports wagering activity through the Internet, a bookmaker or a parlay card is ineligible for all regular season and postseason competition for a minimum period of one year from the date the institution determines that a violation has occurred and shall be charged with the loss of a minimum of one season of competition. Additionally, violations of Bylaw (b) must be reviewed individually by the NCAA Division III Committee on Student- Athlete Reinstatement to determine if a withholding penalty beyond one year is warranted. Question No. 3: Answer: Question No. 4: Answer: Does this proposal eliminate the prohibition on sports wagering? No. This proposal eliminates the current, legislated minimum sanctions for sports wagering. Sports wagering will remain impermissible under NCAA legislation, and student-athletes will be deemed ineligible, but the adoption of this proposal provides the Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement authority to develop appropriate guidelines for review of cases on an individual basis and consider the totality of the circumstances. Further, the existing legislated sanctions will be incorporated into the Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement guidelines. Currently, if a student-athlete participates in sports wagering activity through the Internet, a bookmaker, or a parlay card, is the legislated minimum sanction automatically applied? Yes. The legislative minimum sanction (i.e., ineligibility for one season and charge one season) is automatically applied. As governed by the Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement, a student-athlete may receive a

162 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 15 withholding condition greater than the minimum legislated sanction when the circumstances warrant. Question No. 5: Answer: Question No. 6: Answer: Does an institution currently have an opportunity to appeal the legislated penalty for a sports wagering sanction on behalf of a student-athlete? No appellate opportunity exists for the minimum legislated penalty. An institution can appeal a withholding condition greater than the legislated minimum penalty, but the appellate body (Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement) may not issue a withholding condition less than the minimum legislated penalty. Does the Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement currently have discretion to reduce or waive the legislated sanction for sports wagering violations? No. The legislated minimum sanction must be applied to all cases involving sports wagering activity through the Internet, a bookmaker or a parlay card, regardless of the amount wagered (e.g., $5 or $500). Application of Proposed Legislation. Question No. 7: Answer: Question No. 8: Answer: Question No. 9: Answer: If this proposal is adopted, will an institution be able to appeal a sports wagering sanction on behalf of a student-athlete? Yes. If the proposal is adopted, an institution could appeal a sports wagering sanction to the Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement. If this proposal is adopted, will each sports wagering violation be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine the appropriate sanctions? Yes. This proposal would eliminate the automatic application of the legislated sanctions, and each case would be evaluated on an individual basis using the guidelines developed by the Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement. What will happen to the current, legislated sanctions set forth in Bylaw ? The legislated sanctions will be removed from the legislation and incorporated into the Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement guidelines.

163 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 16 Question No. 10: Answer: Question No. 11: Answer: Will this proposal be applied retroactively to violations of the sports wagering legislation? No. Is the same proposal being presented in Divisions I and II? Yes. Bylaw is a common provision across all three divisions and requires a majority vote of each of the three divisions, voting separately, for adoption or amendment. Proposal Number (2-9). Title: DIVISION III COMMITTEES -- ELIGIBILITY OF MEMBERSHIP -- STUDENT- ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE -- CHANGE IN COMPOSITION Effective Date: August 1, Source: Intent: Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference, Great Northeast Athletic Conference and State University of New York Athletic Conference. Allow for each conference and the group of independents to have a representative on National SAAC. Question No. 1: Answer: Question No. 2: Answer: Question No. 3: What is the current composition of the NCAA Student-Athlete Advisory Committee? The SAAC is comprised of 22 student-athletes. This is based on a partner conference system where the 43 conferences and the group of independent institutions are grouped into 22 pairings. There is a student-athlete on the committee from one of the conferences (or independent institutions) in each pairing. When a student-athlete cycles off the committee a student-athlete is chosen from the other partner conference. If this proposal is adopted, how will it impact the current rule? This proposal would eliminate the partner conference structure and have a student-athlete from each conference and the group of independent institutions on the SAAC. Thus, this proposal will increase the composition of the committee from 22 student-athletes to 44 student-athletes. How will this proposal impact the national SAAC budget?

164 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 17 Answer: Question No. 4: Answer: Question No. 5: Answer: This proposal will have an approximate budget impact of $115,000 to account for the increase of approximately student-athletes for attendance at three in-person meetings and attendance at the NCAA convention. These additional funds would come from Division III allocated funds. Currently, how are committee members selected to serve on SAAC? Student-athletes submit their individual nomination and each Division III conference submits a list of recommended names to the NCAA Division III Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee will then select the new SAAC members while considering the necessary composition requirements. Fifty percent of the positions shall be allocated for men and 50 percent allocated for women with at least 25 percent of all positions allocated for ethnic minorities. If this proposal is adopted, how will this change the SAAC selection process? This proposal will not change the SAAC selection process. Members will continue to be selected through the Nominating Committee. Proposal Number Title: DIVISION III COMMITTEES -- ELIGIBILITY OF MEMBERSHIP -- STUDENT- ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE -- PARTNER CONFERENCE STUDENT- ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE LIAISON Effective Date: August 1, Source: Intent: NCAA Division III Presidents Council. To create a Partner Conference Student-Athlete Advisory Committee Liaison structure, as opposed to increasing the size of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. Question No. 1: Answer: If this amendment is adopted, how will the Partner Conference SAAC liaisons be selected? The selection of the Partner Conference SAAC liaisons will be determined by the SAAC in consultation with the NCAA staff and conference

165 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 18 commissioners. The SAAC liaison role will be further defined in the SAAC policies and procedures document. Question No. 2: Answer: If this amendment is adopted, how will it change the current SAAC meeting structure? Currently, SAAC members meet in-person in January, April, July and November and by teleconference in October. If the proposed amendment is adopted, the Partner Conference SAAC liaisons may attend the in-person July meeting, the October teleconference, the January meeting held in conjunction with the NCAA Convention and meetings when the SAAC representative is unable to attend. This proposal will require that SAAC establish a communication process with designated SAAC members following the April and November SAAC in-person meetings. Finally, policies would also require regular review of the conference partner program and the appropriateness of existing partnerships (this review would include consultation with conferences). Question No. 3: Answer: Question No. 4: Answer: How will this proposal impact the national SAAC budget? This proposal will have an approximate budget impact of $20,000 to account for the Partner Conference SAAC liaisons to attend the July SAAC meeting. These additional funds will come from the Division III budget. Conferences or institutions may pay for the liaison to attend the NCAA annual convention and are permitted to use conference grant dollars to do so. What is the process for voting on an amendment to a proposal? The original proposal is moved and seconded and then the amendment is moved and seconded. The membership then votes on the amendment. If the membership approves the amendment, then the membership will vote on the original proposal as amended. If the membership defeats the amendment, then the membership votes on the proposal as originally submitted. Proposal Number (2-4). Title: ELIGIBILITY -- GRADUATE AND POSTBACCALAUREATE ELIGIBILITY -- STUDENTS GRADUATING FROM DIVISION III INSTITUTIONS

166 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 19 Effective Date: Immediate. Source: Intent: NCAA Division III Presidents Council [Management Council, (Subcommittee for Legislative Relief)]. To permit a student that has graduated from an NCAA Division III institution to participate in intercollegiate athletics at the Division III institution of his or her choice provided: (1) The student is enrolled and seeking a second baccalaureate or graduate degree; (2) The student has eligibility remaining (i.e., seasons of participation); and (3) The participation occurs within the applicable 10- semester/15-quarter period set for in Bylaw Question No. 1: Answer: Under the current rule, how may a graduate or postbaccalaureate student participate in intercollegiate athletics at a Division III institution? Currently, a Division III student-athlete who has completed a baccalaureate degree may only participate in Division III intercollegiate athletics at the institution he or she most recently attended as an undergraduate and may only do so if he or she has eligibility remaining and all participation occurs within the applicable 10-semester/15-quarter period. If a student-athlete would like to participate as a graduate or postbaccalaureate student at an institution other than the one he or she most recently attended as an undergraduate, the institution would have to submit a legislative relief waiver on behalf of the student-athlete. The most common waiver is for compelling and exemplary academic success. To qualify for this waiver a student-athlete must have received his/her undergraduate degree in less than four academic years with no breaks in full-time enrollment and a minimum cumulative grade-point average of For student-athletes who do not meet these criteria, an institution may submit a waiver for students who demonstrate extenuating or extraordinary circumstances. Question No. 2: Answer: If this proposal is adopted, how will it impact the current rule? A student who has completed a baccalaureate degree at a Division III institution would be permitted to participate in intercollegiate athletics at the Division III institution he or she most recently attended as an undergraduate or another NCAA Division III institution provided the student: (1) Is enrolled and seeking a second baccalaureate or graduate degree; (2) Has eligibility remaining; and (3) Participation occurs within the applicable 10-semester/15-quarter period. Thus, a legislative relief waiver would no longer be necessary for these students, but the waiver criteria

167 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 20 would remain for students that attend institutions in other divisions or associations. Question No. 3: Answer: Question No. 4: Answer: Question No. 5: Answer: Question No. 6: Answer: Question No. 7: Answer: If this proposal is adopted, how would it impact the recruiting regulations? A Division III student-athlete may not be contacted by an athletics staff member at another Division III institution without first obtaining written permission to do so (may be a self-release). However, if a student has officially withdrawn or graduated from the previous institution and is no longer in season, permission to contact is not required. The proposal would not change these requirements. How many Division III institutions have graduate programs? Based on U.S. Department of Education classifications of institutions, the NCAA staff estimates approximately half of Division III institutions offer at least one graduate level academic program (e.g. M.A., M.S., Ph.D.). There is significant diversity in these offerings across institutions in terms of the number and type of programs. For example, an institution may offer one masters level program in nursing while another offers 20 graduate programs in areas including business, education and the sciences. How many Division III student-athletes are participating in intercollegiate athletics while enrolled in graduate level programs? Based on the 2015 NCAA Growth, Opportunities, Aspirations and Learning of Students Study, the NCAA staff estimates that currently less than onehalf of one percent of Division III student-athletes are enrolled in a graduate level program. Would this proposal allow a student to participate if the student is enrolled in a certificate program? No. This exception only applies for student-athletes enrolled in baccalaureate or graduate degree programs. Does this proposal apply to an institution who is reclassifying or a provisional member? Yes. For purposes of this proposal, an institution in the reclassifying or provisional process is considered a Division III institution.

168 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 21 Question No. 8: Answer: Question No. 9: Answer: Question No. 10: Answer: How many credit hours must a student-athlete pursuing a second baccalaureate degree enroll in to be considered full time and eligible for intercollegiate athletics? A student-athlete enrolled in a second baccalaureate degree must be enrolled in 12 semester or quarter hours to be eligible for intercollegiate athletics and considered full time by the institution. How many credit hours must a graduate student-athlete enroll in to be considered full time and eligible for intercollegiate athletics? The number of credit hours for full time enrollment is determined by each institution for graduate programs. Does this proposal require a student-athlete to have continuous enrollment or may a student-athlete take time off after graduation before enrolling in a second baccalaureate or graduate program? A student-athlete may take time off after earning his or her baccalaureate degree. For example, if a student graduates in May 2018 it is permissible for the student to take several years off and then enroll in a Division III graduate program during the 2021 fall term provided the student has eligibility remaining, and participation occurs within the applicable 10- semester/15-quarter period set forth in Bylaw Proposal Number (2-7). Title: PLAYING AND PRACTICE SEASONS -- FOOTBALL -- ESTABLISHING PRESEASON START DATE 25 DAYS FROM FIRST PERMISSIBLE SATURDAY CONTEST Effective Date: August 1, Source: Intent: NCAA Division III Presidents Council [Management Council (Playing and Practice Seasons Subcommittee)]. To amend the football preseason legislation as follows: (1) The first permissible practice date shall be 25 days before the first permissible Saturday contest date (regardless of the institution's actual first contest date). Expenses may not be provided before this date; (2) A day off shall be provided during the first six days of preseason which includes the five-day acclimatization period; (3) A day off shall be provided during each remaining week of the preseason practice period (prior to

169 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 22 the week of the first contest); (4) On-field activity (a practice session and a walkthrough session) shall be limited to a combined total of four hours in length per day with a practice session not to exceed three hours; and (5) Footballs may be used during walk-through sessions following the five-day acclimatization period. Question No. 1: Answer: How is the current football first practice date determined? The first permissible practice date in football is determined by a counting method based on the institution's first day of classes and the first contest. The counting method is described in terms of "practice opportunities." It is important to recognize that this is only a counting method to determine the first permissible practice date, and not intended to identify the minimum required "practice opportunities." The calculation consists of 25 "practice opportunities" as follows: 1. Count one practice opportunity for each day beginning with the opening day of classes and one practice opportunity for each day classes are not in session in the week of the first scheduled intercollegiate contest. 2. Count practice opportunities on an alternating basis in a two-one-twoone format (i.e., the first of the remaining days is counted as two, the next day is counted as one, the next as two, etc.) up to and including the 20th opportunity. 3. Count one practice opportunity for each of the five days before the day of the 20th opportunity. The institution shall not count any days during the preseason when all institutional dormitories are closed, the institution's team must leave campus and practice is not conducted. 4. Count Sundays before the institution's opening day of classes and exclude Sundays after the institution's opening day of classes. For example, if the first day of classes is August 20, 2018, and the first contest is September 1, 2018, then the first day of practice would be August 9, The counting method would include the following breakdown: a. Fri 08/31/ One opportunity per day starting with the first day of class. b. Thu 08/30/ One opportunity per day starting with the first day of class.

170 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 23 c. Wed 08/29/ One opportunity per day starting with the first day of class. d. Tue 08/28/ One opportunity per day starting with the first day of class. e. Mon 08/27/2018 (1) One opportunity per day starting with the first day of class. f. Sun 08/26/2018 (0) Sunday while classes are in session. g. Sat 08/25/2018 (1) One opportunity per day starting with the first day of class. h.

Question No. 2: If this proposal is adopted, how will it impact the first practice date? Answer: The first permissible practice date will be determined by counting back 25 days before the first permissible Saturday contest date (regardless of the institution's actual first contest date). For example, if the first day of classes is August 20, 2018, and the first contest is August 30, 2018, but the first permissible Saturday contest date is September 1, 2018, then the first day of practice would be August 7, The counting method would include the following breakdown: 1. Saturday 9/1/2018 first permissible Saturday contest. 2. Fri 8/31/2018 day one. 3. Thu 08/30/2018 day two. 4. Wed 08/29/2018 day three. 5. Tue 08/28/2018 day four. 6. Mon 08/27/2018 day five. 7.

(First allowable practice and first allowable expenses.) Question No. 3: Answer: If an institution has a bye week how will it impact the first permissible practice date? A bye week will not change the first permissible practice date. The first permissible practice date formula will be 25 days before the first permissible Saturday contest date (regardless of the institution's actual first contest date).

173 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 26 Question No. 4: Answer: Question No. 5: Answer: Question No. 6: Answer: Question No. 7: Answer: Question No. 8: Answer: Is a team limited to 22 on-field practices before the first permissible Saturday contest date? No. The number of on-field practices will vary depending on a team's first contest date and when the institution chooses to start practice. Currently, is it permissible for a football team to use footballs during the walk-through sessions following the five-day acclimatization period? Current legislation does not permit the use of footballs during the walkthrough sessions following the five-day acclimatization period. The Subcommittee for Legislative Relief provided blanket relief for the 2017 preseason to permit footballs during the walk-through session following the five-day acclimatization period. If the membership does not pass Proposal No , the use of footballs during walk-through sessions following the five-day acclimatization period will not be permitted. If this proposal is adopted, how many hours of on-field activity (practice session and walk-through) may occur? On-field activity (a practice session and a walk-through session) shall be limited to a combined total of four hours in length per day with a practice session not to exceed three hours in length. Is a day off currently legislatively required during the preseason football practice period? No. NCAA bylaws do not require a day off when classes are not in session or during the institution's preseason practice that occurs before the first day of classes. (The Interassocation Consensus Recommendations on Year- Round Football Practice Contact for College Student-Athletes include a recommendation for a day off per week.) If this proposal is adopted, how will it impact the day off legislation? A day off shall be provided during the first six days of preseason which includes the five-day acclimatization period. Additionally, a day off shall be provided during each remaining week of the preseason practice period (prior to the week of the first contest). No physical activity may take place during a day off. For example, here is a breakdown demonstrating when a day off from physical activity must take place:

Question No. 9: Answer: Question No. 10: Answer: Question No. 11: What is considered physical athletically related activity? Physical athletically related activities include (but are not limited to) weight training, strength and conditioning, and on-field activities. Film review, team meetings, and leadership programs are not considered physical athletically related activities. If this proposal is adopted, when is it permissible for a football team to report to campus for the first permissible practice date? A team may not report prior to the first permissible practice date. Therefore, a team may not move into the residence halls, provide equipment or take a team picture until the first day of practice. If this proposal is adopted, is it permissible for a football team to begin their first acclimatization day on the first day of practice?

176 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 29 Answer: Question No. 12: Answer: Question No. 13: Answer: Question No 14: Answer: Question No 15: Answer: Yes. If this proposal is adopted, is it permissible for a football team to begin their preseason with a day off? Yes. During the day off, the team may fill out compliance forms, participate in a medical exam and take a team picture. Under current NCAA legislation, what does it mean to redefine a week? A week shall be defined by an institution as any consecutive seven-day period, regardless of the day on which the seven-day period begins. The playing season shall consist of consecutive weeks. Practice or competition during any part of a week shall be counted as a full week. An institution may not redefine its week except during a published vacation and holiday period during the academic year or during a final exam period and the team does not engage in practice or competition for at least seven consecutive days. If this proposal is adopted, is it permissible for a football team to redefine a week in the playing season? Yes, a football team may redefine its week after the acclimatization period or at the conclusion of the preseason practice period, but not both. Additionally, the team is not required to take an entire week off to redefine its week. If this proposal is not adopted, how will institutions determine the first permissible practice date in football? If the proposal is not adopted then the current football playing and practice season legislation would remain in place. (See Question No. 1 for the current method of determining the first permissible practice date). The governance structure would reconsider whether the waivers applicable to the 2017 season (i.e. use of footballs during walk throughs and allowing athletically related activities during the administrative days) should be implemented for the 2018 season. Proposal Number (2-5). Title: PLAYING AND PRACTICE SEASONS -- ANNUAL CONTEST EXEMPTIONS -- ALUMNI CONTEST

177 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 30 Effective Date: August 1, Source: Intent: Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference, Great Northeast Athletic Conference, Little East Conference, Michigan Intercol. Ath. Assn., Middle Atlantic Conferences, and Ohio Athletic Conference. To permit the stand-alone annual exemption of one alumni contest per sport during any segment/period, with the exception of football. Question No. 1: Answer: What is the current rule regarding annual exemptions? During the playing season, a team may annually exempt a conference championship, a season-ending tournament and up to two exhibitions, scrimmages or joint practices. An institution may exempt one contest or date of competition each year with an alumni team of the institution during any segment/period provided it is counted as one of the two exempted exhibitions, scrimmages or joint practices. Question No. 2: Answer: Question No. 3: Answer: Question No. 4: Answer: Question No. 5: What is a contest/date of competition exemption? It is a contest or date of competition that does not count towards a team's maximum allowable number of contests or dates of competition. If this proposal is adopted, how would this proposal amend the annual exemption legislation? A team may annually exempt a conference championship, a season-ending tournament and up to two exhibitions, scrimmages or joint practices, and would be permitted to also exempt one alumni contest. If this proposal is adopted, when may an alumni contest be conducted? The alumni contest may occur during any segment/period of a team's playing and practice season. If the alumni contest occurs during the nontraditional segment for baseball, field hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball or volleyball it must count as one of the 16 permissible days of athletically related activity. If this proposal is adopted, are any sports precluded from using the alumni contest exemption?

178 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 31 Answer: Question No. 6: Answer: Question No. 7: Answer: Yes, this exemption does not apply to the sport of football. However, a football team may conduct an alumni contest and count the contest as one of its maximum contests or as one of the two exhibitions, scrimmages or joint practices during the playing and practice season. If this proposal is adopted, may an institution substitute the alumni contest exemption for another exhibition, scrimmage or joint practice? No. This proposed exemption would only allow an alumni contest and may not be substituted for another type of contest. If this proposal is adopted, does the alumni contest exemption apply separately to varsity and subvarsity (i.e. one for each squad)? The alumni contest exemption would apply separately to varsity and subvarsity squads if the alumni contest is conducted during the traditional segment and no student-athlete participates in more than one exempted alumni contest (i.e., if a student-athlete participated in both a varsity and junior varsity alumni contests, one of those contests would count against the student-athlete's maximum contests). If the institution conducts the alumni contest during the nontraditional segment, then there could only be one alumni contest for both varsity and junior varsity combined. Each studentathlete is still limited to a specific maximum number of contests and dates of competition. A student-athlete would only be permitted to participate in one alumni contest. Proposal Number: (2-6). Title: PLAYING AND PRACTICE SEASONS -- BASKETBALL -- FIRST PERMISSIBLE CONTEST -- NOVEMBER 8TH Effective Date: August 1, Source: Intent: Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and State University of New York Athletic Conference. In basketball, to establish the first permissible contest date as November 8. When November 8 falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Monday, a member institution may play its first contest on the Friday immediately preceding November 8. Question No. 1: Currently, when may a men's or women's basketball team play its first contest?

179 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 32 Answer: Question No. 2: Answer: Question No. 3: Answer: Question No. 4: Answer: A men's or women's basketball team may play its first contest on November 15. When November 15 falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Monday, a member institution may play its first basketball game on the Friday immediately preceding November 15. If this proposal is adopted, how will it impact the current rule? If this proposal is adopted, the first contest date may be conducted on November 8. When November 8 falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Monday, a member institution may play its first basketball game on the Friday immediately preceding November 8. Thus, making the first contest occur one week earlier than what the current rule allows. How does this proposal impact the length of the playing and practice season? This proposal does not impact the length of the playing and practice season. All practice and competition must still be included in the 19-week playing season. Will this proposal impact when an institution may play its two exempted exhibitions, scrimmages or joint practices? No. A men's or women's basketball team will still be permitted to play up to two exempted exhibitions, scrimmages or joint practices which may take place at any time during the playing season, including before the first permissible contest date. Proposal Number (2-8). Title: PLAYING AND PRACTICE SEASONS -- ICE HOCKEY -- FIRST PERMISSIBLE ON- ICE PRACTICE DATE -- SECOND MONDAY IN OCTOBER Effective Date: August 1, Source: Intent: Middle Atlantic Conferences and Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. In ice hockey, to establish the first permissible on ice practice date as the second Monday in October. Question No. 1: Currently, when may a men's or women's ice hockey team conduct its first on-ice practice?

180 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 33 Answer: Question No. 2: Answer: Question No. 3: Answer: Question No 4: Answer: Question No. 5: Answer: Currently, an ice hockey team shall not commence on-ice practice sessions before the third Monday in October. If this proposal is adopted, how will it impact the current rule? The first on-ice practice may occur on the second Monday in October. How does this proposal impact the length of the playing and practice season? This proposal does not impact the length of the playing and practice season. The off-ice practice must still be included in the 19-week playing season and may not occur before the first Monday in October. Currently, when may a men's and women's ice hockey team conduct its first contest? An institution shall not play its first contest against outside competition before the second Friday following the first permissible practice date. This provides an eleven-day period of on-ice practice before the first official contest. How does this proposal impact the first contest date? Season Current Legislation Proposed Legislation First permissible off-ice October 1 October 1 practice date First permissible on-ice October 15 October 8 practice date First permissible contest October 26 October 26 Proposal Number: (2-3). Title: AMATEURISM -- PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES -- INSTITUTIONAL, CHARITABLE, EDUCATIONAL OR NONPROFIT PROMOTIONS -- EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENT Effective Date: August 1, 2018.

181 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 34 Source: Intent: NCAA Division III Management Council (Interpretations and Legislation Committee). To amend the promotional activities legislation by requiring institutions to provide educational material in lieu of obtaining a release statement from the authorized representative of the charitable, educational, nonprofit or government agency confirming the student-athlete's name, image or appearance will be used in a manner consistent with Bylaw 12 regulations. Question No. 1: Answer: What is a promotional activity? A promotional activity is any event in which a student-athlete participates to support the charitable or educational activities of a member institution or recognized entity thereof (e.g., fraternity, sorority or student government organization), a member conference or noninstitutional, charitable, educational or nonprofit agency or to support activities considered incidental to participation in intercollegiate athletics. Examples of promotional activities include: 1. Student-athletes conducting a fundraiser for their winter training trip. 2. The SAAC hosting a Special Olympics event. 3. Student-athletes participating in a direct appeal (e.g., letter writing). 4. An institution using a crowdfunding site to raise funds for studentathletes to participate on a foreign tour. 5. An institution using a student-athlete's photo in social media and/or on the institution's website. 6. An institution conducting a fundraising night at a local restaurant with student-athletes promoting the event. Question No. 2: Answer: What must an institution determine before a student-athlete participates in a promotional activity? The institution shall determine the following (please note this is not an exhaustive list, but a general summary of the requirements in Bylaw ): 1. Is the activity considered a promotional activity;

182 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No Will student-athletes be involved in the promotion; 3. Information and details about the promotional activity; 4. If the student-athlete has received written approval to participate in the promotional activity; 5. That the specific activity or project does not involve cosponsorship, advertisement or promotion of a commercial agency, except as follows in Bylaw (b) (1-3); 6. That the name or picture of the student-athlete does not appear on an institution's printed promotional item that includes a reproduction of a product with which a commercial entity is associated if the commercial entity's, officially registered, regular trademark or logo also appears on the item; 7. That the student-athlete does not miss class; 8. That all money derived from the activity or project goes directly to the member institution, member conference or the charitable, educational or nonprofit agency; 9. That the student-athlete does not accept more than actual and necessary expenses related to participation in the activity; 10. That the student-athlete's name, picture or appearance is not used to promote the commercial ventures of any nonprofit agency; and 11. That the student-athlete has signed a release statement authorizing the use of his or her name, image, or appearance. Question No. 3: Answer: Question No. 4: Who must provide written approval before a student-athlete participates in a promotional activity? The student-athlete must receive written approval from the institution's president or chancellor (or his or her designee) to participate in a promotional activity. What must be included in the written approval?

183 2018 NCAA Convention DIII Legislative Proposals Question and Answer Guide Page No. 36 Answer: The written approval must ensure that the requirements of Bylaw will be met regarding the student-athlete's participation in the promotional activity. Question No. 5: Answer: Question No. 6: Answer: Question No. 7: Answer: Question No. 8: Answer: Question No. 9: Answer: What is the current legislation pertaining to educational requirements for promotional activities? Prior to a student-athlete's promotion of, or participation in, a promotional activity for a member institution, member conference or a noninstitutional charitable, educational, nonprofit or government agency (e.g., the armed services), an authorized representative of the entity must sign a release statement ensuring that the student-athlete's name, image or appearance is used in a manner consistent with NCAA legislation. If this proposal is adopted, how will it impact the current rule? This proposal will eliminate the signature requirement for an authorized representative of the charitable, educational or nonprofit agency. In place of the signature, institutions must provide information regarding regulations on the proper use of a student-athlete's name, image or appearance before the promotional activity occurs. How frequently must an institution provide educational material on the use of a student-athlete's name, image or appearance to an outside entity? An institution should provide educational material to an outside entity for each activity to ensure that a student-athlete's name, image and appearance will be used in a manner consistent with the permissible promotional activities legislation. If the outside entity is part of ongoing promotional activity, educational material is only required annually. What is the penalty if an institution fails to send educational material prior to a student-athlete's participation in a promotional activity? The institution would have to report a secondary violation to the NCAA enforcement staff. The eligibility of the involved student-athlete(s) would not be impacted. Would this proposal permit an outside entity to use the name, image or appearance in a manner contrary to the promotional activities legislation? No.

187 SUPPLEMENT NO. 21 DIII Mgmt Council 01/18 NCAA Division III Management Council and Presidents Council 2018 NCAA Convention Legislation Speaker Assignment Chart Proposal No : ELIGIBILITY -- ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT AND IMPERMISSIBLE ACADEMIC ASSISTANCE Intent. To define pre-enrollment and post-enrollment academic misconduct; clarify the individuals and activities to which the legislation applies; and clarify when an institution must report an academic misconduct violation. Specifically, academic misconduct as an NCAA violation is primarily conditioned first on a finding by the institution that its own policies have been violated, and then if the institutional violation involved any of the following: (1) an institutional staff member or athletics representative along with a student-athlete; (2) an erroneous declaration of eligibility; or (3) an alteration of a transcript or academic record (alteration by an institutional staff member would constitute academic misconduct regardless if it violated the institution's policies). Further, if an institution's policies were not violated and academic misconduct was not found, then establish an impermissible academic assistance analysis in lieu of an extra benefit analysis. Source. NCAA Division III Presidents Council [Management Council (Interpretations and Legislation Committee)]. Effective Date. August 1, Rationale. The current regulatory structure regarding academic misconduct is confusing, unclear and imprecise and appropriate revisions to the academic misconduct legislation will serve to benefit individual institutions and the Association as a whole. Despite changes in the academic landscape, academic misconduct legislation has not been revised since 1983 when the legislation was added to the manual. Under the current regulatory structure, it can be unclear when academic misconduct involving student-athletes falls within the purview of the NCAA and when academic misconduct should be an institutional matter. Current terms, definitions and gaps in the academic misconduct legislation result in confusion and lack of clarity. The regulatory structure for academic misconduct is currently located in bylaws, interpretations and educational columns and should be consolidated in a single article (Bylaw 14). This proposal will expand the application of the academic misconduct legislation to any situation in which an institutional staff member is involved and replaces the current academic extra benefit analysis with a specific and limited definition of impermissible academic assistance. In addition, the proposal will require institutional policies and procedures regarding academic misconduct for the general student body.

188 NCAA Div. III Management Council and Presidents Council Convention Legislation for 2018 NCAA Convention Legislation Speaker Assignment Chart Page No. 2 Proposal No : ETHICAL CONDUCT -- SPORTS WAGERING ACTIVITIES -- SANCTIONS -- ELIMINATION OF LEGISLATED SANCTIONS Intent. To eliminate the legislated penalty for sports wagering activities. Proposed Speakers: Source. NCAA Division III Presidents Council [Management Council (Student-Athlete Reinstatement Committee)]. Effective Date. Immediate. PC (move and support): William Fritz MC (support): Heather Benning Rationale. The student-athlete reinstatement process offers the opportunity for the NCAA Division III Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement and NCAA student-athlete reinstatement staff to review cases on an individual basis and consider the totality of the circumstances. For violations that trigger the legislated sports-wagering sanctions, the minimum penalty is automatic and cannot be appealed. To promote increased fairness, it is important to conduct a case-by-case review of these sports-wagering violations and also provide for an appellate opportunity. Further, if the proposal is adopted, the legislated sanctions will be incorporated into the Division III Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement guidelines, which would recognize the Association's continued emphasis on the severity of sports-wagering violations. Note: Bylaw is a common provision across NCAA Divisions I, II and III. Proposal No : DIVISION III COMMITTEES -- ELIGIBILITY OF MEMBERSHIP -- STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE -- CHANGE IN COMPOSITION Intent. Allow for each conference and the group of independents to have a representative on National SAAC. Source. Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference, Great Northeast Athletic Conference and State University of New York Athletic Conference. Proposed Speakers: MC (oppose): Nnenna Akotaobi MC (oppose): Michael Vienna Effective Date. August 1, Governance Position:

189 NCAA Div. III Management Council and Presidents Council Convention Legislation for 2018 NCAA Convention Legislation Speaker Assignment Chart Page No. 3 Rationale. Currently, conferences share the National SAAC representative on an alternating basis; however, with the growth and emphasis on student-athlete input, it is imperative that the interests of student-athletes within a conference are represented at the national level. By sharing the National SAAC representative with another conference, the interests of the student-athletes are not always served. For example, the SUNYAC currently shares its National SAAC Representative with the Empire 8. The conferences are completely different with the SUNYAC comprised of state universities and the Empire 8 comprised of private institutions. The Division III Presidents Council, Management Council and Nominating Committee oppose this proposal. A 44-person committee is inherently unmanageable and inefficient, and will create a significantly different experience among committee members regarding opportunities to represent SAAC on other NCAA committees. Further, SAAC representatives, like members of all committees, should focus on the best interests of Division III, as opposed to the best interests of their specific conferences. Changing this dynamic by requiring a member from each conference could have negative implications for the concept of representative governance in our committee structure. Finally, the potential benefits of the proposal do not justify its significant financial impact. Proposal No : DIVISION III COMMITTEES -- ELIGIBILITY OF MEMBERSHIP -- STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE -- PARTNER CONFERENCE STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE LIAISON Intent. To create a Partner Conference Student-Athlete Advisory Committee Liaison structure, as opposed to increasing the size of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. Source. NCAA Division III Presidents Council. Effective Date. August 1, Rationale. A committee with over 40 members will be inefficient. This amendment will retain the efficiency and effectiveness of the current SAAC while addressing the relevant communication and representation concerns set forth by the sponsors of the related proposal. It also avoids the excessive cost ($115,000) associated with that proposal. Proposed Speakers: PC (move and support): Sue Henderson PC (support): Al Cureton

Current legislation permits a graduate or postbaccalaureate student to participate only at the institution from which the student-athlete received his or her undergraduate degree. Allowing Division III students with eligibility remaining to continue participation at a Division III institution following completion of a baccalaureate degree allows those students to make academic and athletic choices that are in their best interests. Because these are Division III students, there is not the concern of student-athletes taking advantage of a redshirt year to participate at Division III institutions and thereby diluting the philosophical tenet that promotes athletic participation as primarily a four-year, undergraduate experience. This proposal is also consistent with the Division III membership's feedback from the 2017 NCAA Convention regarding NCAA Division III Proposal Finally, the current waiver conditions for graduate participation would continue to apply for all students that did not attend a Division III institution.

191 NCAA Div. III Management Council and Presidents Council Convention Legislation for 2018 NCAA Convention Legislation Speaker Assignment Chart Page No. 5 Proposal No : PLAYING AND PRACTICE SEASONS -- FOOTBALL -- ESTABLISHING PRESEASON START DATE 25 DAYS FROM FIRST PERMISSIBLE SATURDAY CONTEST Intent. To amend the football preseason legislation as follows: (1) The first permissible practice date shall be 25 days before the first permissible Saturday contest date (regardless of the institution's actual first contest date). Expenses may not be provided before this date; (2) A day off shall be provided during the first six days of preseason which includes the five-day acclimatization period; (3) A day off shall be provided during each remaining week of the preseason practice period (prior to the week of the first contest); (4) On-field activity (a practice session and a walk-through session) shall be limited to a combined total of four hours in length per day with a practice session not to exceed three hours; and (5) Footballs may be used during walk-through sessions following the fiveday acclimatization period. Source. NCAA Division III Presidents Council [Management Council (Playing and Practice Seasons Subcommittee)]. Effective Date. August 1, Rationale. The Interassociation Consensus Recommendations on Year-Round Football Practice Contact for College Student-Athletes "recommendations" included the discontinuation of two-a-day practices. The Division III Management Council adopted noncontroversial legislation to eliminate multiple on-field contact practices on the same day. The noncontroversial legislation, resulted in an inequitable start date formula and lost practice opportunities. This proposal seeks to provide equitable and sufficient practice opportunities for all football sponsoring institutions. Institutions would count back 25 days from the first contest date to determine the first permissible practice date. These 25 days would include any administrative days. The framework allows institutions to participate in up to 22 practice days while still providing student-athletes with a day off each week. Further, the proposal would allow up to four hours of on-field sessions which includes practices and walk through sessions. Currently, walk through sessions are limited to one hour but could be increased if the practice session is less than three hours. Finally, the proposal allows the use of footballs during the preseason, following the five-day acclimatization period. This proposal provides flexibility for institutions to implement the recommendations while providing a framework to ensure their student-athletes are adequately prepared for competition.

192 NCAA Div. III Management Council and Presidents Council Convention Legislation for 2018 NCAA Convention Legislation Speaker Assignment Chart Page No. 6 Proposal No : PLAYING AND PRACTICE SEASONS -- ANNUAL CONTEST EXEMPTIONS -- ALUMNI CONTEST Intent. To permit the stand-alone annual exemption of one alumni contest per sport during any segment/period, with the exception of football. Source. Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference, Great Northeast Athletic Conference, Little East Conference, Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association, Middle Atlantic Conferences and Ohio Athletic Conference. Effective Date. August 1, Rationale. Proposal No served to standardize the annual contest and date of competition exemptions. However, we believe the legislation went too far by eliminating the alumni contest as a stand-alone exemption. This proposal restores the alumni contest exemption as it existed in all sports that had them prior to the passage of Proposal No Alumni contests are events that serve a distinctly different purpose than preseason scrimmages and exhibition games against organized teams (e.g., Division III member squads, foreign club teams), which are intended to prepare a team for regular season competition. Alumni contests are friendly competitions that are intended to build or maintain good will among former players and current student-athletes and to keep them connected with the institution through a friendly athletic activity. Often times these will occur in the non-traditional season or vacation periods. By standardizing an alumni game exemption separate and distinct from the preseason scrimmage/exhibition/joint practice exemptions, this legislation will more logically reflect the inherent difference between these two types of athletic activities and allow them to more properly meet their intended purposes. Proposed Speakers: None. Management Council took no position on this proposal and will therefore, not speak on this proposal. Proposal No : PLAYING AND PRACTICE SEASONS -- BASKETBALL -- FIRST PERMISSIBLE CONTEST -- NOVEMBER 8TH Intent. In basketball, to establish the first permissible contest date as November 8. When November 8 falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Monday, a member institution may play its first contest on the Friday immediately preceding November 8. Proposed Speakers: MC (Support): Stevie Baker Watson

193 NCAA Div. III Management Council and Presidents Council Convention Legislation for 2018 NCAA Convention Legislation Speaker Assignment Chart Page No. 7 Source. Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and State University of New York Athletic Conference. Effective Date. August 1, Rationale. This proposal establishes an earlier first contest date in basketball, which would allow for more balance in institutions' schedules. More game dates would be allowed in the first semester, which could create fewer contests in the second semester and a better balance between semesters. This proposal would establish a set first contest date that shortens the month-long preseason by one week. The proposal does not extend the 19-week playing and practice season, but allows for programs to better distribute weeks for practice and/or contests. Governance Position: The Division III Management Council and Playing and Practice Seasons Subcommittee support this proposal. The proposed change offers flexibility in scheduling, the potential to provide student-athletes with additional time off during winter break and possibly a more balanced schedule between semesters. Proposal No : PLAYING AND PRACTICE SEASONS -- ICE HOCKEY -- FIRST PERMISSIBLE ON-ICE PRACTICE DATE -- SECOND MONDAY IN OCTOBER Intent. In ice hockey, to establish the first permissible on ice practice date as the second Monday in October. Source. Middle Atlantic Conferences and Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Effective Date. August 1, Rationale. This proposal establishes an earlier first on-ice practice date in ice hockey. The additional on-ice practices will allow student-athletes and teams to properly prepare for contests from a health and safety standpoint. Currently, teams have 10 on-ice days to prepare for a season during the academic year. This proposal will help ensure the safety of the studentathletes during pre-season training sessions. This proposal does not change the 19-week allowance, but allows for teams to better use their weeks to prepare student-athletes. Proposed Speakers: MC (Support): Dennis Leighton Governance Position: The Division III Management Council and Playing and Practice Seasons Subcommittee support this proposal, as it provides additional on-ice practice opportunities without lengthening the playing season.

194 NCAA Div. III Management Council and Presidents Council Convention Legislation for 2018 NCAA Convention Legislation Speaker Assignment Chart Page No. 8 Proposal No : AMATEURISM -- PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES -- INSTITUTIONAL, CHARITABLE, EDUCATIONAL OR NONPROFIT PROMOTIONS -- EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENT Intent. To amend the promotional activities legislation by requiring institutions to provide educational material in lieu of obtaining a release statement from the authorized representative of the charitable, educational, nonprofit or government agency confirming the student-athlete's name, image or appearance will be used in a manner consistent with Bylaw 12 regulations. Source. NCAA Division III Management Council (Interpretations and Legislation Committee). Effective Date. August 1, Rationale. The current legislation requires an institution to have an authorized representative of the charitable, educational or nonprofit agency sign a release statement insuring the studentathlete's name, image or appearance is used in a manner consistent with the requirements of the promotional activities legislation. By eliminating the signature requirement for an authorized representative of the charitable, educational or nonprofit agency, while still requiring education on the requirements of the promotional activities legislation, will maintain the intent of the legislation and reduce the administrative burden.

197 Additional Information: Bylaw mandates that at least 50 percent of the positions on each team sport committee be filled by athletics administrators. The proposed change to the composition of the women's ice hockey committee maintains this requirement while recognizing the importance of the perspective of coaches. The delayed effective date will allow the current coaches on the committee, who represent the same region, to complete their two year terms.

198 SUPPLEMENT NO. 23 DIII Mgmt Council 01/18 ACTION ITEM. REPORT OF THE NCAA DIVISION III AD HOC COMMITTEE FOR MANAGEMENT COUNCIL LEADERSHIP NOMINATION PROCESS AUGUST 22, 2017, TELECONFERENCE Management Council Leadership Succession Process. a. Recommendation. For the Management Council chair and vice chair positions and elections, and thereafter, consider adopting a policy to specify the vice chair (chairelect) serves a one-year term and automatically ascends to the chair in year two. b. Effective date. August 1, c. Rationale. After reviewing the current Division III Management Council election process for the chair and vice chair positions, the Council instructed the ad hoc committee to develop an automatic succession process for the vice chair to chair. The ad hoc committee reviewed two proposed options that altered the current Division III Management Council leadership process. Both options incorporated an automatic succession from the vice chair to chair. The only difference between the options was the chair s length of service. Ultimately, the committee agreed to present option A [Attachment] for review and possible action. Option A incorporates the following: One-year, nonrenewable term for the chair; Rename vice chair position to chair-elect; New chair-elect selected annually; Chair-elect automatically ascends to the chair position; Chair-elect s committee service expanded to include ex-officio, nonvoting member of Strategic Planning and Finance Committee; and Created additional language in special circumstances (e.g., if the chair-elect leaves before his/her term concludes, the Council will select a new chair-elect and may vote to allow the chair to serve a second year). d.

200 DIVISION III MANAGEMENT COUNCIL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES OPTION A ATTACHMENT Division III Management Council Structure The Management Council is a 21-member body, with at least two members from each of the Division III geographical regions. Among the 21 members, at least nine must be directors of athletics or senior woman administrators; two institutional presidents/chancellors; two athletics direct reports (nonpresidents or chancellors with oversight of intercollegiate athletics); two faculty athletics representatives; three members of an ethnic minority; two student-athletes who are members of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee; eight men and eight women. Council members serve terms of four years and are not eligible for reelection to another term on the Council until four years have elapsed. A member may not serve on the Council more than two terms. Council members appointed to serve half of a term or less (due to interim vacancies) will not be considered to have served a full term and, thus, would be eligible to serve two full terms beyond their interim service. Council members are elected at the annual NCAA Convention and are elected by the Division III membership present and voting. The Division III Management Council structure is specified in Constitution 4.8. Officers The officers of the Management Council are the chair and vice-chair-elect. The officers are elected by the Management Council for a one-year non-renewable term with maximum twoone -years in position. The chair officers of the Management Council must be a senior members of the Management Council. A senior member of the Management Council is a member who has served at least one year on the Management Council. After one year of service, the senior member would be eligible to serve as chair or vice-chair-elect of the Management Council or as a senior member of the Administrative Committee NCAA oofficers must observe all customary NCAA procedures when issues arise involving student-athletes or the athletics programs at their own institutions (or in the case of conference executives, the institutions within the conference) and should not participate during consideration of such issues by the Administrative Committee, Management Council, Presidents Council or Board of Governors When disseminating information to the media and the general public, only the chair of the Management Council and/or an appointed designee shall speak on behalf of the Management Council regarding Management Council actions.

At the conclusion of the term of the chair, the chair-elect will become chair. Elected oofficer(s) will begin his or her official duties during the January post-convention Management Council meeting. The process to elect the Management Council chair and vice-chair-elect will begin during the July Management Council meeting. During this meeting, the responsibilities for the applicable position will be reviewed. All eligible members for the position of chair and vice-chair-elect will be considered nominees for the positions unless they decline the nomination by informing the national office staff by a predetermined date. The staff will conduct the in-person election for all Management Council members present during the first day of the July meeting by ballot. The staff will continue the balloting process, eliminating the lowest vote getter after each round, until a majority decision is reached. The process will begin with the election of the chair followed by the election of the vice-chair, if necessary. The announcement of chair and vice-chair-elect will occur at the conclusion of the meeting.

202 Special Circumstances In the event that the chair of the Management Council leaves the position of chair prior to expiration of his or her term as chair, there will be an election to fill the vacancy.

205 Strongly Agree Agree Somewhat Agree Somewhat Disagree Disagree Strongly Disagree Don t Know I. Current Perceptions The following questions on a wide range of topics philosophy, health and safety, governance, legislative standards are designed to address your institution s current perception of Division III. Please indicate your level of agreement with these statements: Philosophy 1. In Division III, there is an appropriate opportunity for studentathletes to pursue academics, athletics and other interests. 2. In Division III, athletics participation is just as valuable to student development as any other co-curricular activity promoting comprehensive learning. Health & Safety 3. Our institution is aware of NCAA-developed education, resources and programming help protect the health and wellbeing of student-athletes. 4. It is necessary for Division III to have national standards (e.g. guidelines, policies) in the areas of health and safety for student-athletes. Governance 5. Our institution has a good understanding of the significant issues facing Division III. 6. Our institution has an adequate voice in the Division III governance structure. 7. Student-athlete input via the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee is clearly communicated throughout the Division III governance structure. 8. Our institution trusts the individuals who serve on the Management and Presidents councils to make decisions in the best interests of Division III. 9. When we vote at the NCAA Convention, we have a clear understanding on what the proposal would accomplish. 3

206 Legislative Standards 10. Current Division III legislative standards are consistent with our school s perspective on intercollegiate athletics. 11. Division III legislative standards should generally become less permissive and more restrictive. 12. Division III legislative standards should generally become more permissive and less restrictive. 13. Generally, current Division III legislative standards are appropriate. The Division III Budget Division III's current annual budget is approximately $31.8 million, which is 3.18% of the NCAA's annual operating budget. Per existing policy, approximately 75% ($23.9 million) is being spent on championships and 25% ($7.9 million) is being spent on non-championship initiatives such as the conference grant program and student-athlete leadership and internship programs. 14. Does your institution believe that the current allocations are appropriate? Yes, current expenditures are appropriately balanced. No, we should allocate more to championships. No, we should allocate more to non-championship initiatives. 15. In the past two years, has your institution received funds via the Strategic Initiative Conference Grants (an NCAA program where $2.8 million is distributed annually to conferences and the Association of Division III Independents to administer educational programs and services that best meet local needs in support of the Division III strategic plan)? Yes No Don t know 16. In the past two years, has your institution received funds from the NCAA for costs associated with participation in NCAA national championships? Yes No Don t know 17. In the past two years, has your institution participated in non-championships NCAA funded programs and initiatives (e.g. Ethnic Minority and Women s Intern Program, Athletics Direct Report Institute, Student 4

207 Immersion Program, New AD Orientation)? Yes No Don t know 5

208 Strongly Agree Agree Somewhat Agree Somewhat Disagree Disagree Strongly Disagree Don t Know II. The Athletics Enterprise on Campus For many institutions, student-athletes make up an important part of the overall student body (26 percent on average). As such, issues related to recruitment and enrollment continue to be topics of discussion among the Division III membership. Please indicate your level of agreement with these statements: Structure of the Athletics Department 1. Our institution encourages participation by maximizing the number and variety of sport offerings for our students through a broad-based athletics program. 2. A commitment to sport equity (e.g., equal treatment of all sports in areas such as finance, staffing, facilities, recruiting and scheduling) should be a key component of any Division III athletics department mission. 3. A department policy to prioritize certain sports ahead of others in areas such as finance, staffing, facilities, recruiting and scheduling is not appropriate. 4. In the past four years, budget issues have negatively impacted our athletics program (e.g. cut sports, reduce participation opportunities, reduce staffing). 5. In the next four years, we anticipate budget issues will negatively impact our athletics program (e.g. cut sports, reduce participation opportunities, reduce staffing). Admissions for Student-Athletes 6. Admitted student-athletes should fit the general academic profile of all incoming first-year students. 7. Admission policies for student-athletes should be consistent with the general student body. 8. It is appropriate to admit students based on their athletics participation and/or ability who would not otherwise meet minimum admissions standards. 6

209 Financial Aid for Student-Athletes 9. Student financial aid decisions made by the admissions, financial aid departments and other campus units should be entirely independent and free of influence from the athletics department. 10. The current prohibition of considering leadership in athletics (e.g., team captain) in the awarding of financial aid to student-athletes is appropriate. Enrollment and Retention of Student-Athletes 11. Recruitment of student-athletes is a key component in enrollment management strategies at our school. 12. Our enrollment management strategy as it relates to studentathletes is in alignment with the goal of retention and graduation. 13. Athletics helps in establishing a diverse student-body on our campus (e.g., race/ethnicity, gender, socioeconomics). 14. In the past four years, we have increased institutional budget allocations to athletics to specifically leverage enrollment of student-athletes as part of our overall enrollment strategy. 15. In the next four years, we plan to increase institutional budget allocations to athletics to specifically leverage enrollment of student-athletes as part of our overall enrollment strategy. 16. On a scale of zero to ten with ten being the highest, indicate your institution s reliance on studentathlete enrollment to meet your institutional enrollment goals. Zero indicates: If we didn t have an athletics program, we d still meet our enrollment goals. Ten indicates: If we didn t have an athletics program, we could never meet our enrollment goals. 17. What enrollment tools do you currently use to support enrollment of student-athletes? (Check all that apply) Official campus visits Overall recruiting quotas for your athletics department Individual team recruiting quotas for some (or all of) your coaches Admissions recruiting lists from the athletics department Athletics recruiting management software Social media campaigns aimed at recruiting Other: 7

211 Strongly Agree Agree Somewhat Agree Somewhat Disagree Disagree Strongly Disagree Don t Know III. Financial Aid Regulations Division III is the only NCAA division that prohibits the awarding of financial aid based on athletics leadership, ability, participation or performance. To ensure adherence to this principle, Division III enacted legislation in 2004 that requires institutions to participate in an annual financial aid reporting program. Each year, all active, provisional and reclassifying members are subject to review by the Financial Aid Committee. Over the 12 years of the program, 207 institutions have been selected for a Level II review by the committee and 99 of those institutions have been sanctioned to some degree for violations found through the Financial Aid Reporting Program. Additionally, Division III has developed and distributed educational resources to promote appropriate communication across campus constituencies and help institutions ensure compliance. Please indicate your level of agreement with these statements: 1. The NCAA provides an appropriate level of education relative to financial aid legislation. 2. The Division III Financial Aid Reporting Program is a useful tool to help institutions assess compliance with NCAA bylaws. 3. At our institution, there is an appropriate level of understanding of Division III financial aid compliance across campus constituencies. 4. At our institution, we use the available resources to help ensure compliance with Division III financial aid regulations. 5. Institutional sanctions beyond those focused on education (e.g. probation) for financial aid violations currently applied as a result of the reporting process are: Appropriate Too strict Not strict enough 9

212 Strongly Agree Agree Somewhat Agree Somewhat Disagree Disagree Strongly Disagree Don t Know IV. Academic Performance and Eligibility Division III emphasizes the educational value of athletics participation and focuses on the academic success of its student-athletes. Institutional autonomy in such matters as academic performance, academic progress and continuing eligibility has been the guiding philosophical and legislative principle of the division, with limited NCAA oversight. Current legislation requires only that Division III student-athletes be enrolled in a minimum fulltime program of study (12 semester or quarter hours) leading to a baccalaureate degree. Recent studies continue to show that student-athletes at Division III institutions graduate, on average, at a higher rate than their student-body peers. Studies also show gaps in graduation rates for football and African- American student-athletes. Responses to the questions below will provide additional assistance in evaluating the effectiveness of current principles, related programs and legislation. Please indicate your level of agreement with these statements: Academic Performance 1. The academic performance of student-athletes should be, at minimum, consistent with the general student-body at all Division III institutions. 2. The current voluntary graduation rate reporting program is a useful and relevant tool to assess the academic performance of Division III student-athletes. 3. The Division should consider requiring institutions to submit standardized student-athlete graduation rate information on an annual basis to the NCAA. Eligibility 4. The athletic participation history of all Division III studentathletes should be confirmed by the NCAA prior to participation (e.g. NCAA Eligibility Center) as is currently done at the Division I and II levels. 5. Division III should continue its primary focus on intercollegiate athletics as a four-year undergraduate experience. 10

213 Strongly Agree Agree Somewhat Agree Somewhat Disagree Disagree Strongly Disagree Don t Know 6. A year of eligibility should continue to be defined by a season of participation rather than a season of competition (i.e. current red-shirting prohibition ). V. Sports Sponsorship and Membership One of the key tenets of the division is that its member institutions offer a broad-based athletics program by maximizing the number and variety of athletics opportunities for students. On average, Division III institutions sponsor approximately 17 sports (nine for women and eight for men) with an average undergraduate enrollment of approximately 2,700 students. Additionally, one in five students, on average, participates in intercollegiate athletics. Current regulations require institutions to sponsor a minimum of 12 sports (six men s and six women s) with an allowance for schools with enrollment less than 1,000 (i.e. 10 sports five for men and five for women) and single-gender institutions. In addition, institutions are required to complete an Institutional Self-Study Guide (ISSG) every five years. Further, institutions are required to attend a Regional Rules Seminar at a minimum of once every three years and the national convention annually. The information requested in this section will assist in determining if the current legislation and policies are appropriate. 1. Indicate your school s preference for a minimum sports sponsorship standard assuming certain allowances for schools with small enrollments and single-gender institutions. Fewer More Please indicate your level of agreement with these statements: 2. NCAA staff-led rules seminars are effective educational opportunities for our institution s staff. 3. The requirement to attend Regional Rules Seminars at a minimum of once every three years is appropriate The Institutional Self-Study Guide (ISSG) is a useful

214 Should be Less Involved Appropriate Level Should be More Involved Does Not Apply assessment tool for our institution. 5. The requirement to complete the Institutional Self-Study Guide (ISSG) every five years is appropriate. 6. Annual institutional attendance at the NCAA National Convention is an appropriate membership requirement. VI. Campus, Conference and National Leadership As with most issues on a college campus, the chancellor or president is ultimately responsible for institutional actions. As the chief decision-maker on a campus, chancellors or presidents also have a defined leadership role within the NCAA governance structure. The Presidents Council, the Presidents Advisory Group, service on the Management Council, and service on a number of additional governance committees are all avenues for chancellors and presidents to provide leadership to the division. Each Division III conference is also required to have as its ultimate authority a presidential governing board. Responses from the 2008 and 2013 survey indicated that at approximately 80 percent of Division III member institutions, the director of athletics reports to an administrator on campus other than the chancellor or president. In the last five years the designation of the Athletics Direct Report (ADR) has been incorporated to recognize this unique relationship in intercollegiate athletics. The role and impact of the ADR has been boosted by dedicated programming and increased involvement at the campus, conference and national levels. The feedback requested below will provide assistance in further defining the appropriate level of involvement by chancellors and presidents or other administrators who are responsible for overseeing the administration of athletics at Division III institutions. 1. What best describes your school s reporting structure for the Director of Athletics?

216 Strongly Agree Agree Somewhat Agree Somewhat Disagree Disagree Strongly Disagree Don t Know VII. NCAA Championships National championships are an important component of the programmatic offerings of Division III, funding for which represents approximately 75% of the divisional budget (approximately $23.9 million for the academic year). At present, entrance to the national championship is either through a conference s automatic qualification slot (with related slots allocated to independents) or through at-large bids. Each national championship (with the exception of football) is conducted within a three-week timeframe. Current championships policy provides one berth for every six and a half institutions sponsoring a team sport. Please indicate your level of agreement with these statements: Philosophy 1. The ultimate measure of success for your athletics program is participation in NCAA championships. 2. Whenever possible, Division III championships events should occur at on-campus facilities as opposed to off-campus facilities. Current Policy 3. Participation in NCAA championships should be available to conference champions only (i.e., automatic qualification only with no at-large bids) with appropriate access for nonautomatic qualifying conferences and independent institutions. 4. The current policy of conducting mid-week contests in order to complete the national championship in three weeks is appropriate. Potential Policy Changes 5. Institutions in NCAA championships should be reimbursed to send additional coaching personnel for student-athletes who require technical coaching (e.g., diving, track and field). 6. Travel party sizes for championship competition and related budgets should be expanded to include additional studentathletes eligible to compete (i.e., expand the squad size). 14

217 7. Travel party sizes for championship competition and related budgets should be increased to include an administrator who is required to attend the pre-championships meeting and competition and serve as the primary institutional representative onsite. 8. Championships bracketing principles should be amended for preliminary round site selection to guarantee top regionally ranked teams the opportunity to host in the first round. 9. Championships bracketing principles should be amended to guarantee conference opponents do not play each other in the first round of competition. 10. Division III should consider legislation that would allow alcohol sales at all Division III national championship events regardless of on-campus/off-campus location. 11. Division III should consider legislation that would allow alcohol sales at all Division III national championship events held on off-campus sites only. 12. Of the following championship policies and/or potential enhancements, please rank the top four (4) in terms of importance to your institution: Rank 15

218 Strongly Agree Agree Somewhat Agree Somewhat Disagree Disagree Strongly Disagree Don t Know At present the limit for brackets is 64 teams (other than football). In addition there is a three-week championships structure to establish reasonable limits on frequency of play and related travel as well as a consideration of the academic commitments for student-athletes. 13. Indicate your school s preference for the maximum number of weeks allowed to conduct the championships Longer The current championships access ratio in team sports stands at 1:6.5 with a limit for brackets of 64 teams. This ratio is used to determine the bracket sizes. With this ratio, there is one opportunity for every six and half teams participating in the sport. A higher ratio would mean fewer championships berths per number of institutions sponsoring a sport, while a lower ratio would mean a greater number of berths with higher championships costs. 14. Indicate your school s preference for a championships team sport access ratio. Lower 1:5 1:6 1:6.5 1:7 1:8 Higher VIII. Communications.

230 SUPPLEMENT NO. 25b DIII Mgmt Council 01/18 Student-Athlete Graduation Rate Reporting Background During its October 2017 meeting the NCAA Division III Management Council received a request from the Diversity and Inclusion Working Group to consider 2019 NCAA Convention legislation to establish the annual mandatory reporting of student-athlete graduation rates. The working group has been evaluating the viability and value of mandatory student-athlete graduation rate data collection, including weighing the potential administrative burden, in part because the graduation rates of African-Americans and football student-athletes have been considerably lower than other groups and sports for eight consecutive years. The working group believes mandatory graduation rate data collection would provide the following benefits: 1. A census of valid and reliable data will allow for legally and scientifically defensible evidencedbased policies. 2. Enhancement to the Institutional Performance Program (IPP), the free self-assessment and benchmarking tool provided by the NCAA. 3. Enable the Division III membership to better tell its very positive academic story and highlight its unique philosophy. The current data (submitted voluntarily by a portion of Division III institutions) show that Division III student-athletes graduate at a higher rate than the overall student-body, as well as student-athletes in other NCAA divisions. The Management Council recommended the Presidents Council endorse the working group s efforts to continue analyzing the existing data, and further discuss the value of the mandatory collection of studentathlete graduation rates. The Presidents Council discussed this recommendation during its November 2017 meeting, and encouraged the working group to explore crafting a legislative proposal for the 2019 Convention regarding mandatory student-athlete graduation rate reporting. Both Councils acknowledged the potential concerns regarding the administrative burden and stressed the importance of providing concrete suggestions to overcome these concerns. Legislative Proposal Recommendations Division III is the only division that doesn t currently mandate institutional submission of graduation rate data of its student-athletes. Divisions I and II have required this reporting for several years and can provide guidance for structuring the most appropriate legislative proposal for Division III. The following are staff recommendations regarding a proposed Division III legislative proposal: 1. Recommendation for Division III Manual Placement: That graduation data reporting be mandated in NCAA Constitution 3 as a condition and obligation of membership but should not include a specific membership penalty at this time. This obligation also should be added in Executive Regulation 31 as a condition to participate in championships. 2. Recommendation for Division III Committee Oversight: That oversight of the proposed reporting of student-athlete annual graduation data be assigned to the NCAA Division III Membership Committee, since the reporting requirement is proposed to be a condition and obligation of membership. As the Membership Committee currently has authority over the conditions and obligations of membership, it would be the appropriate governance committee to oversee this process.

231 Student-Athlete Graduation Rate Reporting Page No Recommendation for Further Review and Effective Date: That the Membership Committee and Diversity and Inclusion Working Group review these procedures for further comment. If the Presidents Council sponsors a 2019 Convention proposal mandating student-athlete graduation reporting, the proposal should have an August 1, 2019, effective date with the first report due June 1, Legislative Proposal Questions What does the proposal mandate and how are institutions held accountable? The proposal would mandate that institutions submit annual graduation data on their student-athletes. Divisions I and II identify this requirement and hold their institutions accountable in two ways: (1) As a membership obligation; and (2) by affecting championships eligibility. Division III could follow this approach as well. Membership obligations are primarily identified in Constitution 3. Placing the obligation of graduation data reporting in Constitution 3 will clarify to the membership that reporting is an expectation of a Division III member and that failure to do so can result in possible reclassification. (Constitution ) Thus, an institution could be placed on probation, restricted membership or even lose membership status for failure to repeatedly submit the required data. The Management Council could either propose a strict legislated penalty structure similar to current penalties for failure to attend the NCAA Convention, Regional Rules Seminars, or maintain minimum sports sponsorship, or allow a Division III committee/council to exercise appropriate discretion. Until potential noncompliance is better understood, it may be difficult to identify an appropriate legislated penalty structure. The second prong, which would condition championships eligibility on the timely submission of the relevant data, is similar to the current process for the annual submission of federal institution-wide graduation rates and financial aid data. It has proven to be an effective and efficient tool to encourage and secure timely compliance. Unlike the membership review process, which may take several months, ineligibility for championships is effective immediately. This two-prong approach clarifies to the membership the importance of receiving the data in a timely manner while recognizing relevant practical concerns. Which committee and/or council should have oversight over the process established in the proposal? Mandating the annual submission of student-athlete graduation rate data requires a Division III committee to provide oversight of the reporting process. Committee oversight is necessary for the following reasons: 1. To establish and maintain policies and procedures for graduation data submission. While the Management Council would oversee and approve/disapprove any of these policies, the creation of the policies is most efficiently done via another committee that reports to the Council; 2. To review and analyze the data and prepare reports to the Councils and membership; 3. To hear and decide requests from member institutions for relief of the submission requirement;

232 Student-Athlete Graduation Rate Reporting Page No To issue penalties as appropriate for noncompliance; and 5. To assist institutions with data submission. How are institutions impacted by this proposal? The following is a summary of the reporting program and the obligations on member institutions if mandatory reporting is adopted. This process is the same as the existing Division III student-athlete voluntary graduation rate reporting process. This level of detail would not appear in the actual proposal, but rather would appear in policies and procedures subject to approval and amendment by the Management Council. This information also is provided to help determine a reasonable effective date for a proposal. 1. Required Information. Institutions would be required to gather the following information to provide an accurate submission: a. For the 2019 academic year, student enrollment as reported on the Federal Fall Enrollment Survey and student-body graduation rate for the 2013 freshman cohort as reported on the Federal Graduation Rate Survey (GRS). [Already required per Executive Regulation (e)]. b. Division III student-athlete graduation information for the 2013 freshman cohort: Gender, ethnicity, student-athlete type and final result for student-athletes in each Division III sport [currently referred to as the Division III Academic Success Rate (ASR)]. c. For those institutions that currently sponsor Division I sports and offer athletics aid or those that offered athletics aid in 2013, the student-athlete graduation rate for the 2013 freshman cohort broken out by sport. [Already required per Executive Regulation ]. 2. Procedures for Submission of Division III Academic Success Rate. To establish the student-athlete cohort, this standard definition of a student-athlete will be employed: a student-athlete is an individual listed on the institution s official roster on or after the first scheduled contest or date of competition in the NCAA championship segment during the INITIAL academic year of enrollment. For those student-athletes participating in more than one sport, a primary sport must be determined for each student-athlete to avoid double-counting. (Attachment B contains additional procedural details) 3. Validation of Graduation Rates. At the time of data submission each institution will be expected to complete and submit The Graduation Rates Report Signature Form via the Academic Portal. This form, signed by the president, chancellor or designee confirms the accuracy of the information. 4. Reporting of Graduation Rates. a. Each of the institution s graduation rates reports are available for viewing and download via the Academic Portal once the submission process has been completed.

233 Student-Athlete Graduation Rate Reporting Page No. 4 b. The institution s public student-body Graduation Rate Survey (GRS) and enrollment report is available via ncaa.org in conjunction with the NCAA official public release in the Fall of each year. c. The institution s student-athlete Academic Success Rate reports are available for viewing and download via the Academic Portal only once the submission process has been completed. These reports will not be shared publicly. d. The student-body and student-athlete graduation rates data is incorporated in the Institutional Performance Program (IPP) in conjunction with the NCAA official public release of graduation rates in the Fall of each year. The IPP is a password protected selfassessment and peer-group benchmarking tool. Summary Attachment A is a draft proposal mandating annual student-athlete graduation rate reporting consistent with the recommendations set forth above. This proposal incorporates the following: 1. Identifies the requirement as a condition and obligation of membership in Constitution 3; and 2. Conditions championship eligibility upon timely submission of the data. 3. Is silent as to the specific oversight means by the Membership Committee. That committee, with its responsibility over the conditions and obligations of membership, would have oversight subject to Management Council review.

234 ATTACHMENT A MEMBERSHIP ACTIVE MEMBERSHIP CONDITIONS AND OBLIGATIONS OF MEMBERSHIP ACADEMIC SUCCESS RATE Intent: To include as a condition and obligation of Division III active membership, that an institution submit on an annual basis data for the academic success rate (ASR) in a form prescribed by the Management Council; further to establish a penalty for failing to submit the ASR. Bylaws: Amend by adding as follows: Academic Success Rate. Active members shall annually submit data, by the applicable deadline, for the Academic Success Rate (ASR) in a form prescribed by the Management Council Failure to Submit Data. An active member institution that fails to submit data for the ASR by the applicable deadline shall not be eligible to enter a team or individual competitors in an NCAA championship (See Bylaw ) and may be subject to additional membership penalties Waiver. The Membership Committee, by two-thirds majority of its members present and voting may grant waivers of Constitution if it deems that unusual circumstances warrant such action. Bylaws: Amend , as follows: [ through , unchanged] Academic Success Rate. An institution shall not be eligible to enter a team or individual competitors in an NCAA championship unless it has submitted, by the applicable deadline, data for the Academic Success Rate (ASR), in a form prescribed by the Management Council. [Remainder of , unchanged] Rationale: (to be included) Membership Committee Duties. The committee shall review issues related to Division III membership, including: (a) (b) (c) (d) Issues and educational efforts affecting provisional, reclassifying and continuing members; Monitoring and auditing of sports-sponsorship requirements; Coordinating educational programs for the membership regarding NCAA legislation; and Issues regarding membership requirements (e.g., sports sponsorship) that are discovered during the enforcement process. Additionally, the committee may impose penalties for the failure of any member to meet conditions and obligations of membership, including sports-sponsorship requirements and any issues discovered through the enforcement process. Effective Date: August 1, 2019 with the first report due June 1, 2020.

235 ATTACHMENT B Procedures for Submission of Division III Academic Success Rate. For those student-athletes participating in more than one sport, a primary sport must be determined for each student-athlete to avoid double-counting. The gender, ethnicity and final result of student-athletes in each of these four subgroups will be reported for each Division III sport. 1. Fall Freshmen: Students who entered into the institution in the Fall as first-time, full-time baccalaureate degree-seeking students. The student-athlete type is Non-scholarship. 2. Mid-Year (January) Freshmen: Students who entered the institution in the Spring semester as firsttime, full-time baccalaureate degree-seeking students. The student-athlete type is January Freshman. 3. Incoming Transfers from a Two-Year Institution: Students transferring into the institution from a two-year school at any time during the academic year. The student-athlete type is 2-Year Transfer. 4. Incoming Transfers from a Four-Year Institution: Students transferring into the institution from a four-year school at any time during the academic year. The student-athlete type is 4-Year Transfer. Each student-athlete will have one of four final results: 1. Enrolled: If a student-athlete neither graduated, left eligible nor was an allowable exclusion, the final result will be Did not graduate/did not leave eligible. 2. Graduated: Students who graduated from your institution with their baccalaureate degree within six years, or by August 31 of the previous year will have a final result of Graduated. 3. Allowable Exclusion: The final result will be Allowable Exclusion for students who left the institution because of one of the following reasons within 150 percent of time (i.e. six years) without completing a bachelor s degree: student is deceased or permanently disabled and unable to return to school; student left school to serve in the armed forces; student left school to serve with a foreign aid service of the Federal Government, or student left school to serve on an official church mission. 4. Left Eligible: For students with athletics eligibility remaining that have left the institution prior to receiving their baccalaureate degree and would have been academically eligible to compete the next regular academic term had they returned to your institution, the final result will be Left academically eligible with athletic eligibility remaining. The institution must determine what academic eligibility rules the student would have been subject to had they returned, apply those standards to the student s academic record and determine if he or she would have been academically eligible if he or she had returned. This includes all NCAA, conference and institutional academic eligibility rules. This group does not include students who exhaust their eligibility and leave the institution prior to receiving their baccalaureate degree.

236 For each Division III sport, the data can be entered manually or with a data file. Technical instructions on entering the data for student-athletes can be found within the Academic Portal. The Academic Portal is available via My Apps. Single-source sign-on administrations (typically the Director of Athletics) will need to grant individuals access to this portal prior to entering any data. For the 2019 reporting cycle, institutions will be able to take advantage of the fact that student-athletes, as defined for this program, would have been previously identified through the Division III Financial Aid Reporting Program. This is where information on the 2012 entering cohort was first collected. This Financial Aid Reporting Program information has been securely stored on NCAA servers. If it is no longer available on your campus, it can be retrieved from the NCAA by contacting Eric Hartung (ehartung@ncaa.org).

Second, the group noted the low attendance by FARs at national events and expressed interest in exploring ways to increase it. Finally, interest in learning more about Division II efforts to boost FAR engagement was noted. It was estimated that 40 to 50 Division III FARs attended the session. 5. Division III FAR Institute. Leah Kareti and Julie Muller, representing the Division III FAR Institute planning team, updated the working group on continued discussions concerning the future of the institute. Various models defined by content and timing were presented to the working group and feedback was sought. Group consensus was reached on the following model: a. A Division III New-FAR Orientation Program to be offered in conjunction with the FARA Annual Meeting in even-numbered years beginning in While the exact format of the program is yet to be determined, the group discussed incorporating Division III-specific content into the established two-hour FAR introductory session which takes place on Thursday morning of the meeting. Additional programming focusing on lessons-learned and takeaway-strategies to occur when the annual meeting concludes on Saturday is under consideration. b. The Division III FAR Leadership Institute, designed for FARs with one to two years of tenure, to be offered in alternating years. A maximum of the 30 FARs with a minimum class size of 20 will be set. The institute would be conducted in odd-numbered years beginning in 2019.

238 Report of the NCAA Division III FAR Working Group December 2017 Teleconference Page No. 2 c. The Division III FAR Alumni Leadership Institute, designed for FARs with three or more years of tenure, to be offered every four years beginning in This would be held in conjunction with the FARA Annual Meeting. The purpose of this program is to re-engage Leadership Institute alumni in advanced Division III-specific programming and to strengthen the network of experienced FARs. 6. Refinement of next steps. The group revisited the September 26, 2017 report and reviewed the list of five next steps information sheet, FAR best-practices guide, Conference Commissioners best-practices guide, seamless education model, potential legislation. The next steps were confirmed, and a plan of action was discussed. It was decided that the FAR best-practices guide and information sheet would be worked on together as one deliverable. The Conference Commissioners best-practices guide and the seamless education model would be two other deliverables. Potential legislation will remain a discussion item for the group. The work on deliverables will be divided across group members. The 2018 timeline remains intact with the group holding their first meeting of 2018 in February. 7. Adjournment.

241 SUPPLEMENT NO. 27b DIII Mgmt Council 01/18 REPORT OF THE NCAA DIVISION III LGBTQ WORKING GROUP NOVEMBER 14, 2017, MEETING ACTION ITEMS. None. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS. 1. Welcome and roster. The NCAA Division III LGBTQ Working Group commenced business at 8 a.m. Eastern time Tuesday, November 14. Working group chair Neil Virtue welcomed the group and NCAA staff conducted a roll call. 2. Report of October 4 teleconference report. The working group reviewed and approved the teleconference report. 3. Mission statement. The working group reviewed its mission statement. The mission statement is a living document and henceforth may be modified at any time. 4. LGBTQ membership surveys. In preparation for the NCAA research staff's executive summary presentation, the working group reviewed the content and structure of the LGBTQ Division III-wide membership surveys distributed to the following demographic groups: a. Presidents and athletics direct reports; b. Athletics administrators and coaches; c. Commissioners; and d. Student-athletes. 5. LGBTQ survey executive summary. The research staff presented an executive summary of the LGBTQ Division III-wide membership surveys, detailing quantitative findings in four categories. Below are the key takeaways from each of the four categories. [Attachment] a. Landscape and culture in Division III. (1) Most respondents felt their athletics departments and conferences were free from LGBTQ discrimination; however, the working group noted there were notable differences of opinion between LGBTQ and non-lgbtq studentathlete respondents.

242 Report of Division III LGBTQ Working Group November 14, 2017, Meeting Page No. 2 (2) While a small percentage of LGBTQ athletics administrator and studentathlete respondents feared losing their jobs or roster spots, respectively, the working group discussed the need to eliminate the existing fear amongst male LGBTQ student-athletes and coaches. (3) Nearly all respondents felt LGBTQ spectators would be safe at their athletics events. The working group noted that this positive response aligned with Division III's initiative to create a positive game environment via the "Game Day the DIII Way" sportsmanship plan. (4) The working group noted a student-athlete knowledge gap of LGBTQ people and issues. Non-LGBTQ student-athletes were less likely to agree that institutions and athletics departments should provide support and fewer identified as allies. The working group suggested that the NCAA Division III Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, as well as campus and conference SAACs could potentially serve resources to close the awareness and knowledge gap. (5) Many LGBTQ respondents do not feel it is safe to communicate about their sexuality and/or gender identity. The working group acknowledged this reflects a continued fear of being "out" at institutions and within intercollegiate athletics. (6) LGBTQ respondents were considerably less likely to rate their conference's support of the LGBTQ community as welcoming. The working group pondered if the data reflect a lack of awareness of what happens at the conference level. b. Education/resources. (1) Most respondents agreed that guest speakers and regularly scheduled open dialogue sessions would be the most helpful types of LGBTQ programming, while they noted not using the existing NCAA Office of Inclusion LGBTQ resources. The working group discussed the possibility that many individuals do not know where to locate existing resources or have forgotten and/or are not aware that the resources exist. (2) Lack of alignment with institutional values and lack of financial resources were the most commonly cited reasons for lack of LGBTQ staff training. The working group noted that there may be several religiously affiliated institutions who may not support LGBTQ initiatives. A Division III version of the NCAA Common Ground initiative was suggested as a way to begin dialogue with faith-based Division III institutions. The working group also

243 Report of Division III LGBTQ Working Group November 14, 2017, Meeting Page No. 3 noted the possibility of offering funding to institutions that do not have the financial means to conduct trainings on LGBTQ issues. c. Visibility and recognition. (1) Nearly half of the LGBTQ respondents indicated that they were comfortable with national, conference or institutional recognition for their contributions to intercollegiate athletics and celebrating them for their LGBTQ identity; however, a substantial percentage of respondents were undecided. The working group pondered whether for those undecided, there were concerns about being "outed," being singled out and/or being treated differently by others. (2) Respondents were evenly split on supporting the establishment of a national award. The working group, once again, speculated on potential reasons why a respondent might not support a national award that recognizes contributions to intercollegiate athletics and celebrating the LGBTQ identity. d. Policies. (1) Most athletics departments do not have a written LGBTQ nondiscrimination policy. Further, many athletics department handbooks and student-athlete handbooks do not reference supporting or promoting an inclusive, respectful environment for student-athletes and colleagues of the LGBTQ community. The working group noted that policy language should be a focal area for resource development. (2) More than half of respondents did not know if their athletics department or conference had a transgender student-athlete participation policy. The working group suggested the low number of institutions with such a policy may be a result of few institutions having disclosed transgender studentathletes. (3) LGBTQ coaches and administrators were considerably more likely to believe coaches use the identity of LGBTQ coaches as a negative recruiting tool with prospective student-athletes. LGBTQ female administrators and coaches were almost twice as likely to fear losing prospective studentathletes because of their identity compared to LGBTQ male administrators and coaches; however, the working group noted that a substantial percentage from both demographic groups feared losing prospective student-athletes because of their identity.

244 Report of Division III LGBTQ Working Group November 14, 2017, Meeting Page No. 4 (4) Student-athlete respondents noted that negative recruiting against LGBTQ coaches at other institutions was virtually nonexistent. 6. Subgroup discussion of survey results and NCAA Convention presentation. The working group divided into three subgroups (i.e., Education/Resources; Visibility and Recognition; and Communication) to discuss the survey results within the context of the following three questions relevant to the specific subgroup: a. What survey findings should be presented during the Division III business session at the 2018 NCAA Convention? b. Should the working group develop a resource to be distributed during the Division III business session to support the survey feedback? c. Relevant to your subgroup, what polling questions should be asked during the Division III business session to continue guiding the working group? 7. Working group discussion of survey results and Convention. Each subgroup reported its discussion including recommendations regarding the presentation of survey results, development of resources and possible polling questions for the Division III business session. a. Education/Resources: The subgroup reported that the survey results reflected a critical need in Division III to engage in deeper conversations about LGBTQ issues. Consequently, the subgroup recommended that the presentation of survey results at the Division III business session highlight the following findings: (1) Overall, survey respondents ranked guest speakers and regularly scheduled open dialogue sessions as the most helpful types of LGBTQ programming. (2) Forty-eight (48) percent of survey respondents cited lack of financial resources as the primary reason why LGBTQ trainings do not occur (or occur as frequently as preferred). The subgroup also recommended creating a one-page, Division III-specific resource of LGBTQ terminology to distribute at the Convention. Specifically, the subgroup noted that to engage in meaningful conversations about LGBTQ issues, it is important to equip individuals with fundamental language. Staff will collaborate with the NCAA Office of Inclusion and the author of an existing glossary of terms on ncaa.org to develop an updated, abridged version for Division III members. The subgroup also suggested the following polling questions:

245 Report of Division III LGBTQ Working Group November 14, 2017, Meeting Page No. 5 (1) What educational resources would most assist your LGBTQ programming efforts? (a) (b) (c) Written educational guide. Facilitator training (e.g., train the trainer). NCAA-facilitated trainings. (2) If you do not use existing LGBTQ resources from the NCAA Office of Inclusion and Division III webpages, what is the reason? (a) (b) (c) (d) Was not aware they existed. Do not know where to find them. They are not relevant to my needs. They are not helpful. (3) How do you prefer to receive LGBTQ resources? (a) (b) (c) (d) In-person small dialogue. In-person large group presentation. . Webinar/web-based resources. b. Visibility and recognition: The subgroup reported that the survey results reflected a relatively even distribution of opinion about whether to publicly celebrate and recognize LGBTQ individuals within the context of intercollegiate athletics. The working group expressed concern that besides the NCAA Woman of the Year Award, there is no precedent for publicly awarding underrepresented populations in intercollegiate athletics. Consequently, the subgroup recommended that the presentation of survey results at the Division III business session highlight the following findings: (1) Of the survey respondents who identified as LGBTQ, nearly half indicated that they were comfortable with the NCAA, Division III, their conference

246 Report of Division III LGBTQ Working Group November 14, 2017, Meeting Page No. 6 or their institution recognizing them for their contributions to intercollegiate athletics and celebrating them for their LGBTQ identity. More than one-fourth were undecided. (2) On the issue of the NCAA and Division III establishing a national award to recognize individuals, institutions or conferences for their contributions to LGBTQ inclusion, more than one-third of survey respondents across groups reported being unsure, while a similar percentage agreed. Lastly, the subgroup suggested the following polling questions: (1) If the NCAA were to commit resources toward LGBTQ programming (e.g., train the trainer), recognition event (e.g., Division III reception), or promotional materials (e.g., banners/poster campaign), which would you prefer? (a) (b) (c) Programming. Recognition event. Promotional materials (2) If you chose programming in the previous question, which constituent group should be the initial target for programming? (a) (b) (c) Athletics administrators. Coaches. Student-athletes. (3) If made available, would you publicly display a Division III specific LGBTQ-inclusive poster/banner in your athletics facilities? c. Communication: The subgroup reported that the survey results reflected an information gap regarding LGBTQ policies. Specifically, there is more understanding and awareness of policies at the institutional-level compared to the athletics department. Similarly, athletics departments have a greater awareness and inclusion of policies than conferences. However, the least informed survey respondents were coaches and student-athletes. Consequently, the subgroup recommended that the presentation of survey results at the Division III business session highlight the following findings:

247 Report of Division III LGBTQ Working Group November 14, 2017, Meeting Page No. 7 (1) Sixty-two (62) percent of survey respondents either did not know if their athletics department had, or did not have, a written LGBTQ nondiscrimination policy. (2) Seventy-six (76) percent of conference administrator respondents indicated that their conference does not have a written LGBTQ nondiscrimination policy. (3) Less than half of conferences and athletics departments have policies to address anti-lgbtq slurs, jokes, comments, actions or behaviors. (4) Only 29 percent of athletics departments and conferences have a transgender student-athlete participation policy. (5) One in four LGBTQ administrator and coach respondents strongly agree or agree that some coaches use the identity of LGBTQ coaches as a negative recruiting tool with prospective student-athletes or their parents. Only nine percent of non-lgbtq administrator and coach respondents strongly agreed or agreed. (6) Forty percent (40) of female LGBTQ administrator and coach respondents strongly agreed or agree with the statement, "I fear losing prospective student-athletes because of my LGBTQ identity". Twenty-five (25) percent of male LGBTQ administrator respondents strongly agreed or agreed with that statement. The subgroup also noted that most athletics departments and conferences lack policies that include references to LGBTQ, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression. Consequently, the subgroup recommended that the presentation of survey results at the Division III business session highlight the following findings: (1) Thirty-eight (38) percent of survey respondents indicated that their athletics department has a written LGBTQ nondiscrimination policy. (2) Less than 50 percent of survey respondents indicated that their athletics department handbook included the support and promotion of an inclusive, respectful environment for the LGBTQ community. (3) One-fourth of survey respondents indicated that their athletics department's communications and recruiting materials includes a nondiscrimination clause. Of those with nondiscrimination clauses, 41 percent indicated the clause references LGBTQ.

248 Report of Division III LGBTQ Working Group November 14, 2017, Meeting Page No. 8 The subgroup also recommended distributing the Office of Inclusion s "Five Ways to Have an LGBTQ-inclusive Athletics Department" as a resource to supplement the presentation of findings at Convention and to encourage the Division III membership to access the resource online for a more interactive experience. Further, the subgroup recommended that the presentation of findings call attention to the LGBT SportSafe Inclusion Program as well as all resources available on the Office of Inclusion's LGBTQ webpage. Lastly, the subgroup suggested the following polling question: If made available, would you use template language to develop policy statements, inclusion statements and nondiscrimination clauses? 8. Next steps after Convention. The working group discussed potential next steps after the Convention regarding the development of Division III-specific LGBTQ resources, initiatives and programming. Specifically, the working group discussed the following possibilities: a. Develop a Division III "train the trainer" program. b. Develop template language for policy statements, inclusion statements and nondiscrimination clauses for conferences and athletics departments, including exemplary examples from Division III conferences and institutions. c. Sponsor a Division III LGBTQ reception at an NCAA-sponsored event. d. Design a Division III LGBTQ poster/banner/decal campaign. e. Develop a Division III LGBTQ certification program (comparable to the LGBT SportSafe Inclusion Program). f. Design an NCAA-inclusion template for Division III institutions and conferences to co-brand. Create a Division III SAAC facilitation guide for student-to-student dialogue. g. Update existing resources on the Office of Inclusion's LGBTQ webpage in consultation with internal and external constituents. h. Launch Division III LGBTQ video campaign. i. Encourage Division III conferences and institutions to nominate student-athlete advocates for LGBTQ issues as part of their respective SAAC governance structures.

249 Report of Division III LGBTQ Working Group November 14, 2017, Meeting Page No. 9 j. Design follow-up Division III membership survey to solicit additional information. 9. Future teleconferences. Staff noted a Doodle request to determine availability for the January 2018 teleconference is forthcoming. On the teleconference, the working group will review the draft Convention presentation and straw poll questions. 10. Other business. Staff shared an from a Division III transgender student. The transmale student was a field hockey prospective student-athlete; however, once the student enrolled at the Division III institution and began transitioning to male, he was no longer eligible for participation. The student, who now serves as the student manager for the Division III institution's field hockey team, expressed interested in the Division III LGBTQ membership survey and offered to assist the working group in whatever manner necessary. Staff asked the working group if they would like to offer the student to join the working group, in part, to add another student perspective as well as to add a transgender perspective. The working group unanimously supported extending an invitation to the student. 11. Adjournment.

250 SUPPLEMENT NO. 28 DIII Mgmt Council 01/18 REPORT OF THE NCAA DIVISION III SPORTSMANSHIP AND GAME ENVIRONMENT WORKING GROUP NOVEMBER 9, 2017, VIDEOCONFERENCE ACTION ITEMS. None. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS. 1. Discuss plans for 2018 NCAA Convention training sessions. Staff noted that there were currently 88 individuals registered for Gameday the DIII Way training at the 2018 NCAA Convention. The staff also noted that the session had not been properly noted on the original convention registration. The working group agreed that the staff should solicit additional participants and open an additional training room. As a result, at the Convention there will be two training rooms with up to 100 participants in each room. 2. Detail training numbers to date. The staff detailed the number of trainings that have taken place across Division III to date, noting that there have been 1,058 trainings reported. It was noted by the working group that not all of those reported have been one and onehalf hour training sessions. 3. Gameday the DIII Way T-shirt designs. The working group reviewed and provided feedback on artwork for potential T-shirt designs for shirts to be given away at the Convention. 4. Update on next steps on subcommittee items for online toolkit. The working group reviewed the items that were being developed by subcommittees for the online toolkit. The working group noted the progress on the items and agreed that NCAA staff would compile more complete draft documents by November 17 and send back to each subcommittee for review and refinement. Following that review, the full working group will review and finalize these resources during its December teleconference. 5. Adjournment. The videoconference adjourned at 2:45 p.m. Eastern time.

252 SUPPLEMENT NO. 29 DIII Mgmt Council 01/18 DIVISION III IDENTITY INITIATIVE Division III Purchasing Website After signing a three-year contract extension ( ), the Division III Purchasing Website is in its seventh year of operation, and its sixth year of management by Source One Digital. In September, a new $500 credit was offered to institutions and conferences for purchases from the site during the year. Thus far, approximately 15 percent of the institutions and conference offices have used their credit, which ends on August 31, Source One Digital will be adding a few new items to their website in early Division III/D3SIDA Recognition Award The Division III College Sports Information Directors of America (D3SIDA) selection committee recently selected Assistant Athletics Communication Director Samantha Murray as the Fall recipient of the D3SIDA Recognition Award for her story on student-athlete Achol Odolla. The next submission deadline is February 15. The Division III and D3SIDA Recognition Award is a partnership between the Division III governance staff and D3SIDA to honor the best work - including news releases, feature articles, videos, blogs and other materials - produced by Division III campus and conference athletics communication offices. Each top honoree, named three times annually, will receive a $1,500 credit to attend Division III Day at the 2018 CoSIDA convention in Washington, D.C. Social Media The NCAA Division III Facebook has surpassed 26,000 fans, while Twitter feed approaches 45K followers, after gaining nearly 2,000 followers since the start of the season. NCAA staff has continued to imply a social media strategic plan to leverage social media as a primary channel for sharing the Division III story with current student-athletes, administrators, potential studentathletes, parents, and supporters. All Division III fall championships included snapchat geofilters which contained NCAA sport specific graphics that athletes, fans, and spectators used throughout the duration of the championships. Numbers resulted in a great amount of usage throughout the events and the Division III will further explore alternative ways to use this platform in the near future. Special Olympics For the second straight year, Special Olympics bracelets will be provided to all of the Division III championships this year to highlight the division s partnership. To date, 12 institutions and 2 conference offices have reported Division III Special Olympics activities during the year. Activities thus far have involved approximately 475 Division III student-athletes and 280 Special Olympic athletes. The division, to date, has dedicated just over 200 volunteer hours and raised some funds as a result of these activities. Staff continues to encourage schools and conferences to report their events.

253 Supplement No. 29 DIII Mgmt Council 01/18 Page No. 2 Website Content NCAA.org continues to provide Division III with additional opportunities to use its home page to share more stories portraying its unique student-athlete experience.

254 SUPPLEMENT NO. 30 DIII Mgmt Council 01/18 REPORT OF THE NCAA DIVISION III TECHNOLOGY USERS GROUP OCTOBER 12, 2017, TELECONFERENCE ACTION ITEMS. None. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS. 1. Welcome. The NCAA Division III Technology Users Group commenced business at 2:05 p.m. Eastern time Thursday, October 12, The chair, Angel Mason, welcomed the group and completed the roll call. 2. Report of June 9, 2017, teleconference. The users group reviewed the report and noted no changes. 3. Updates and actions since June. At the request of the chair, staff provided updates on the following areas: a. Staying compliant resource. Staff noted the completion and publication of the newly created Staying Compliant with Division III Rules resource. The resource is on NCAA.org and will be distributed to the membership via the November Monthly Update, the FARA Symposium, the NCAA Convention and the 2018 Regional Rules Seminars. One of the Division III Convention education sessions will use the resource as the cornerstone of its session. The users group noted the resource will be effective for athletics in working and collaborating with campus-wide departments. Feedback included using written URLs instead of hyperlinking key words for users who print the resource and adding mandatory, as needed, to items in the annual list of required forms. b. Single-Source Sign-on updates. Staff provided the following updates: (1). Staff hasn t been able to replicate the issues reported regarding using SSO on a MAC and Safari/Firefox. Staff recommends that users use the latest browsers and keep the browser up to date. Edge, Safari and Chrome have a setting that will auto-install browser updates. If users encounter an issue, send staff an incident report that includes the version of the operating system, the browser version and the attempted action. (2). Staff reported that the NCAA will not be moving the championships portal to SSO. At this time, it is a low priority for the championships staff. (3). Staff is working to move the Division III Conference Strategic Initiative Grants reporting form to SSO. Staff anticipates this change may occur with the 2019 reporting cycle.

255 Report of the NCAA Division III Technology Users Group October 12, 2017, Teleconference Page No. 2 c. Membership Committee feedback RSRO video requirement. The users group s request to require Regional Rules Seminar (RRS) attendees to view the RSRO instructional video as a condition of satisfactorily fulfilling the once-in-three-year RRS attendance requirement was not supported by the NCAA Division III Membership Committee. The committee declined to establish such a requirement as it would add undue burden to institutions. Instead, the committee recommended better publication of these videos and agreed to add them to the informational document that provides a detailed annual list of NCAA membership requirements and recommendations. 4. Other business. The users group asked for an update on the NCAA s selection of a new Learning Management System. An update will be provided on the February teleconference. The users group confirmed its desire to continue having teleconferences every four months (e.g., three times annually). 5. Next call. Staff will send out a doodle poll for a February teleconference. February agenda items will include: a. Update on the Conference Grant Program moving to Single Source Sign-On. b. NCAA s new Learning Management System. 6. Adjournment.

257 SUPPLEMENT NO. 32a DIII Mgmt Council 01/18 Division III International Ice Hockey Pilot Pilot Parameters: For the men s and women s ice hockey season, all Division III schools that sponsor men s and/or women s ice hockey will participate in a one-year pilot. The pilot parameters will include the following: 1. The NCAA Eligibility Center will conduct a sports participation review history of all international, first year men s and women s ice hockey players. For the purpose of the pilot, an international student is defined as any student who attended a secondary or postsecondary school outside the United States, participated in athletics outside the United States or whose permanent residence is outside the United States. A first-year student is defined as a student-athlete s first year at a Division III institution so transfer students with no prior Division III enrollment are included in the pilot. 2. All international, first year men s and women s ice hockey players must complete the Eligibility Center s free, online Profile Page to provide baseline information and obtain a unique NCAA ID number. 3. On August 1 or later, institutions that sponsor men s and/or women s ice hockey must submit the names of the international first year players on their men s and women s ice hockey rosters to the Eligibility Center at D3_hockey@ncaa.org. All players must be accepted to and paid a deposit to the institution. 4. Upon receipt of the roster (name and NCAA ID number), the Eligibility Center will reach out to the international student-athletes for needed additional information to review the sports participation history and copy the member institution. Student-athletes will respond to a dedicated Division III Eligibility Center address. 5. The participation history review will include an assessment of the teams and leagues with which a prospective student-athlete participated, evaluation of any compensation or other benefits associated with athletics participation and evaluation of possible agent involvement. Reviews will be completed in the order received and may require institutional involvement in order to address questions. The review will not include any evaluation of delayed collegiate enrollment (NCAA Division III Bylaw ). 6. Reviews typically take 2-3 days once the Eligibility Center obtains all information. If there are complicating factors, reviews can take up to three weeks. Once a review is completed, an will be sent to the institution and copied to the conference office. Summary level data will be provided to the conference offices. 7. The Eligibility Center will provide comprehensive periodic reports to the institution and conference office. 8. Any questions from student-athletes, institutional personnel and conference offices should be directed to the dedicated Division III Eligibility Center address (D3_hockey@ncaa.org) 9. There will be no academic certification review.

258 Division III International Ice Hockey Pilot Page No In January 2018, the Division III Management Council will waive the requirement to complete Form 17-10c: General Amateurism and Eligibility Form for International and Select Student- Athletes since the EC will be conducting the international student-athlete participation review history. 11. All Eligibility Center reviews and findings are final and binding. There will be a Fact-Finding Committee to review disputed findings. The member institution may also pursue additional relief through the legislative relief waiver process if mitigating factors exist. 12. The NCAA will pay the $135 fee to conduct each review. Prospective student-athletes who have previously registered for an EC certification account will not be reimbursed. Pilot desired outcomes include the following: Track the institutions that submit names to the Eligibility Center (EC). These names will be compared to the master-list of ice hockey schools. Track how many names are submitted from each institution. Track the dates that institutions submit the roster lists. How many of the submitted names are already in the EC certification queue? They will have already paid the $135. And of these, how many were on a Division I or Division II IRL? How long did it take the EC to complete each participation history review? This data will allow us to compare with Divisions I and II, and gives us an idea as to how much burden the process can remove from schools. How many international student-athletes are cleared to participate and how many are denied participation? If denied, why? How many calls were driven to the NCAA Customer Service Center from this population? The Eligibility Center will provide summary information on the student-athletes country of origin, age, and institution they re attending. If the pilot is a success, the membership could consider expanding it to include other sports or propose future legislation.

259 SUPPLEMENT NO. 32b DIII Mgmt Council 01/18 Division III International Ice Hockey Pilot Blanket Waiver Recommendation. That NCAA Division III Management Council waive NCAA Division III Bylaw (Eligibility Form) for the academic year for international ice hockey student-athletes that receive a participation review from the NCAA Eligibility Center pursuant to the International Ice Hockey Pilot ("Pilot"). Institutions are still required to certify the eligibility of these studentathletes but would not have to use the current form. Effectively, the participation review conducted by the Eligibility Center replaces the form. Additionally, student-athletes that are part of the Pilot should be allowed to practice, but not compete pending receipt of the participation review. Background. Member institutions, per Bylaw , are required to certify the eligibility of international student-athletes on a form approved by the Management Council. That form (General Amateurism and Eligibility Form for International Student-Athletes NCAA Division III [attached]) includes questions that will be answered by the participation review conducted by the Eligibility Center pursuant to the Pilot. Mandating that institutions execute the form in addition to the Eligibility Center review is redundant and would not reduce the burden on Division III institutions, a primary objective of the Pilot. Consequently, this requirement should be waived for the student-athletes that are part of the Pilot. Additionally, student-athletes should be allowed to practice but not compete pending the review. Currently, Bylaw requires the form to be completed and the student-athlete to be certified prior to practice or competition. As this process is new to the Division III membership there should be flexibility given if the participation review is not completed prior to the start of practice. The student-athlete would have to be eligible for practice per other NCAA regulations (e.g., enrolled full time) but the participation history would not have to be completed prior to practice. Finally, it is important to recognize that waiving Bylaw does not waive the obligation to certify these student-athletes. Rather, the waiver only relieves the institution from executing the lengthy form. Bylaw Eligibility Form. The eligibility of an international student-athlete shall be certified on a form approved by the Management Council and must be completed before practice or competition. The completed form shall be maintained on file at the institution with other eligibility documents and shall be available for examination upon request by the NCAA staff, and, if the institution is a member of a conference, an authorized conference representative.

280 Brown, Debra F. From: Sent: To: Subject: Friday, October 27, :01 AM Kresge, Debra Form submission from: Division III Management Council Conference Visits From: Joe Walsh Address: Conference Visited: New Jersey Athletic Conference Date: 10/26/17 Attendees: ADs, SWAs and conference office staff Division III Campus Issues to Report: No issues. Beautiful campus. Terrific athletic facilities. Hot Topics/Initiatives Board of Governors (BOG) Initiatives (e.g., sexual violence prevention, championship alcohol pilot) Group thought that the roll out of the sexual violence prevention policy could have been handled better. No concerns regarding alcohol pilot Pathway to Opportunity Folks were very surprised at the low numbers regarding how faculty views college athletics Sport Science Institute Initiatives Had a good discussion regarding possible recommendations coming from the NATA/NCAA task force. 1

281 One athletic administrator was of the opinion that schools should not have to add additional athletic trainers because of mental health. That is a job for the counseling center. There was also an athletic trainer at the meeting who said it was absolutely necessary because in this week alone she had three student athletes spend significant time with her discussing their mental health. She agreed it was not her expertise however many student athletes come to athletic trainers as the first step in seeking guidance as to where they should go for help Governance Proposed Convention Legislation Regarding wagering people thought it was a good proposal. People also wondered what would happen with NCAA championships if the state of New Jersey does approve the legalized gambling? There was understanding that the football legislation is not a panacea for all involved but that it is most likely the best option available. With the one exception that they preferred that the 25 days was tied to the first game rather than the first allowable game date. The issue being schools that have a bye on that first Saturday in September. There was some minor talk about the loss of the acclamation days but that athletic director agreed that was a thing of the past and could be accomocated in the 25 days. There was a question that I don t know the answer to and told the group that I would ask the NCAA staff for guidance. The question was regarding academic misconduct and if indeed this legislation did pass did it have any legal standing. If the school chose not to have the policy could the NCAA legally require them to it adhere to this rule? Working Groups No comments Ice Hockey Certification Pilot One athletic director requested that men s soccer be added to the ice hockey pilot program because they have a lot of foreign students coming to play soccer. Other General Comments: General discussion comments included Could the NCAA to a better job in selecting D3 tournament sites? The person who brought it up felt that site should be a top-notch facility rather than a top seed. Also suggested that some championship should be moved to cities who would be eager to host them such as Hershey Pennsylvania rather than Saint Lawrence which was so far away for the New Jersey schools. Also this person was under the opinion that Division III is hosting the swimming and diving championships at a division one institution because it has better facilities than DIII schools. It was also agreement within this group that site representatives in all rounds of the DIII championship tournament are not always up to the task. There was a unanimous agreement amongst the attendees that returning the per-diem and rosters to past levels was a very good thing. There was unanimous agreement that the strategic grant program and the ethnic minority grant programs are a great successes and of strong benefit to Division III schools. There was also unanimous agreement that the improvements to the championship webcasting were very positive. Inquiry ID# submitted on: Friday, October 27, :01 2

286 SUPPLEMENT NO. 34b DIII Mgmt Council 01/18 NCAA Government Relations Report (December 2017) Congressional Overview This fall, discussions in Washington, D.C. have focused on revising the U.S. tax code. In the House, Republicans passed their version of a tax bill, H.R.1 on November 16, 2017 by a margin. In the Senate, passing a tax reform measure faced stricter odds as Republicans control a mere 52 of the chamber s 100 seats. However, on December 2, 2017, the Senate voted to pass their version of the bill, S. 1, by a margin. Lawmakers will hold a conference in hopes of reconciling differences in the House and Senate tax bills and passing an agreed-upon measure. If an agreement is reached by the conference committee and, subsequently, approved by both chambers, the underlying legislation will advance to the President s desk. In addition to tax reform deliberations, Congress faces a quickly approaching deadline to reach a deal on funding the federal government through the 2018 fiscal year as the current stopgap measure provides funding through December 8, To avoid a government shutdown, lawmakers have been discussing another short-term funding proposal through the end of December With 2018 quickly approaching, priority issues for the coming year include a long-awaited infrastructure package, welfare reform, and a possible return to health care. Federal Issues Tax Reform The higher education community has closely tracked provisions in both the House and Senate tax reform proposals that impact higher education, including those that affect athletic departments. The House and Senate proposals would eliminate the tax-deductibility of university donations attached to seat licenses for sporting events. There is concern that this elimination would negatively impact athletic departments by chilling donations that fund various college sports programs. Also, under the House proposal, a tax-exempt organization, which includes private and public universities, would be subject to a 20 percent excise tax on compensation in excess of $1 million to any of its five highest paid employees for a given tax year. The NCAA Office of Government Relations will continue to provide support to member schools and work with the higher education associations to monitor both the House and Senate proposals as they make their way through the conference process. Promoting Diversity & Inclusion On October 5, 2017, Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR) and five House Democratic colleagues sent a letter to the NCAA inquiring into the Association s Pledge and Commitment to Promoting Diversity and Gender Equity in Intercollegiate Athletics. Joined by Representatives Cedric Richmond (D-LA), Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Frederica Wilson (D-FL), and Maxine Waters (D-CA), the letter requested an update on participation in the pledge and asked the Association to inform Congress of efforts to develop hiring practices that promote

287 and improve diversity and gender equity amongst coaches and athletic department administrators in intercollegiate athletics. On October 31, 2017, the NCAA responded to the six Representatives by detailing the NCAA s role in bolstering an inclusive setting that fosters equitable participation for student-athletes and career opportunities for coaches and administrators. The response noted the NCAA Board of Governor s recent Resolution Reaffirming Commitment to Cultural Diversity & Inclusiveness and provided recent participation data for the pledge. In addition to providing a list of the various NCAA resources, programs, and initiatives that aim to create a more diverse and inclusive environment within college athletics, the letter provided necessary context of the Association s role with respect to a member institution s personnel decisions and the autonomy colleges and universities have in making hiring, firing, and disciplinary decisions at their institution. The NCAA Office of Government Relations has not received any additional questions stemming from the letter. The office will continue to update congressional offices on the work the Association achieves in this area and be available to field any questions that may arise. Student-Athlete Health and Safety Congress continues to display an interest in a range of health and safety matters related to amateur and professional athletics. Multiple bills have been introduced and considered by policymakers that affect the athletic community. In March, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) introduced S. 534, the Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act of 2017 due to allegations of sexual abuse made against personnel involved with USA Gymnastics, USA Swimming, and USA Taekwondo. The proposal amends the Ted Stevens Amateur and Olympic Sports Act, which governs the U.S. Olympic Committee and their national athletic governing bodies to make it safe and easy for victims to report abuse and mandate oversight to ensure strong sexual abuse prevention policies are implemented and followed. The bill would also give the U.S. Center for Safe Sport oversight authority of all national governing bodies and would ensure that aspiring Olympic athletes can report allegations of abuse to an independent entity. S. 534 was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee in June and passed the chamber on November 14, H.R. 1973, a similar proposal introduced by Rep. Susan Brooks (R-IN), passed the House on May 25, On July 28, 2017, Rep. Mark DeSaulnier (D-CA) reintroduced H.R. 3580, the Protecting Student Athletes from Concussions Act of A similar bill was introduced in the 114 th Congress and was supported by the NCAA, the NFL, the National Athletic Trainers Association, among others. H.R seeks to address sports-related concussions in elementary and secondary school athletes. Among other things, the measure brings states into compliance with evidenced-based guidelines for concussion treatment by the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Academy of Neurology. Additionally, the proposal, under the direction of the U.S. Department of Education, would require states that receive federal education funding to develop concussion guidelines that educate these athletes, increase awareness of the signs of concussions, and supports recovery of

288 athletes who sustain an injury. After introduction, the measure was referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce where it awaits further debate. The NCAA supports H.R and will continue to work with interested parties going forward. Sports Betting In June, the U.S. Supreme Court granted certiorari to hear the long-running New Jersey sports betting case, Christie, et al., v. NCAA, et al., to determine whether Congress may prohibit states from authorizing sports-gambling schemes under the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA). The case has garnered attention as a rare opportunity for the Court to define the limits of federalism and further interpret the 10 th Amendment. Specifically, the Court will consider the legality of a New Jersey law that legalizes sports-gambling at casinos and racetracks within the state. Oral arguments occurred on December 4, New Jersey will be looking to sway the Court that PASPA unconstitutionally commandeers the state s regulatory power. In contrast, the NCAA, NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLB have maintained that the state law runs counter to PASPA and is therefore invalid. The parties will now wait for the justices to reach a decision, which will likely occur by next summer. State Issues Only five states remain in session for this year. These states are Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Daily Fantasy Sports The NCAA and various interest holders have worked to ensure all daily fantasy sports proposals introduced in the states include a student sports carveout prohibiting contests from including college, high school, or youth athletics. Thus far, seventeen states have enacted bills or regulations regarding daily fantasy sports. Fourteen of these laws include the student sports carveout. Only New Jersey has passed a law without the carveout since NCAA involvement. The NCAA, the membership, and others will continue to work to ensure student-athlete well-being and the integrity of competition lead the conversation regarding sports wagering and daily fantasy sports. Student-Athlete Health and Well-Being This year, proposals have been introduced in California, North Carolina, and Connecticut that, if passed, would create commissions regarding the health and safety of college student-athletes. Although these state legislatures have adjourned for the year, the California and North Carolina measures are eligible to be reconsidered next year. The NCAA Office of Government Relations will continue to work with the Sports Science Institute to provide materials to assist in educating interest holders on the NCAA s advancements and remain available to answer lawmaker s questions on this topic.

289 Student-Athlete Employee Designation Prior to adjournment, Illinois state Representative Thaddeus Jones (D) introduced HB 4157 and HB These measures would require public universities to classify student-athletes as employees if the athlete participates in one of the top three financially profitable athletic programs at a university. The bills would also require the university to pay the student-athlete a minimum salary of $25,000 a year and provide the university broad discretion in classifying other studentathletes as employees. The session adjourned on November 9, However, legislation left pending is carried over and eligible to be considered in the subsequent session. Therefore, both HB 4157 and HB 4158 may be considered by the legislature in The NCAA Office of Government Relations will continue to monitor these bills in case there is any movement. Revised Uniform Athlete Agents Act (RUAAA) This year, Arizona, North Dakota, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, and Nevada enacted provisions implementing the Revised Uniform Athlete Agents Act (RUAAA). The NCAA has been supportive of the RUAAA, which updates the Uniform Athlete Agents Act of 2000 by, among other things, expanding the definition of athlete agent, requiring an agent to notify an institution before communicating with a student-athlete to induce them into signing an agency contract, and creating a registration process that provides agents reciprocity. The NCAA Office of Government Relations will continue to monitor RUAAA proposals and help interested parties understand and advocate for such measures. Higher Education Associations NCAA Office of Government Relations staff continues to build strong relationships with various higher education associations. The American Council on Education (ACE), the Association of American Universities (AAU), the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU), and the National Association of Colleges and University Business Officers (NACUBO) among others, continue to provide guidance and support on issues of common interest. The NCAA Office of Government Relations staff looks forward to continuing these mutually beneficial relationships to better formulate and further the NCAA s legislative goals.

294 NCAA Injury Surveillance Program What is the NCAA ISP? The ISP is a data collection initiative designed to protect the health and safety of student-athletes. Since 1982, athletic trainers have collaborated with the NCAA to create the largest collegiate sports injury database program in the world. Today, the NCAA partners with the Datalys Center to manage the ISP and to inform injury prevention policies and practices at all levels of sport. Your help, through participation, is critical to the success of ISP and enhancing student-athlete care. Why Should I Participate in the ISP? As an NCAA athletics health care provider, you seek answers to the most pressing injury prevention questions facing college athletes. Serving as the largest epidemiologic database of its kind, the ISP can help answer these questions. With your help, the ISP can provide reliable data to help enhance the injury prevention practices, risk-management decisions, athletic health care delivery and ultimately, the quality of student-athlete care for all NCAA schools. How Will I Benefit from Participating in the ISP? Receive regular access to data that can inform your injury prevention practices, risk and personnel management, and medical decision-making. Free continuing education credits for athletic trainers. Contribute to peer-reviewed scientific publications, which strengthen available information and inform clinical decision-making. Contribute to national health and safety policy and sport rules changes. Further scientific research about top health and safety risks to student-athletes. What Else Do I Need to Know About the ISP? Participation requires a time commitment of only approximately 20 additional minutes of data submission per week, per sport. While it is recommended that each school submit data for multiple sports, schools have the flexibility to select the number of sports for which they participate. The NCAA and Datalys can provide guidance for which sports have the greatest data needs. To help make the data submission process easier, the ISP has certified the following Electronic Medical Record vendors; Athletic Trainer System, CSMI Solutions SportsWare Online, SIMS, Vivature NExTT. A free EMR has been developed for schools without a certified EMR vendor. The ISP is HIPAA and FERPA compliant and has been approved as IRB exempt. Free training and support is available for all ISP participants through the Datalys Center. How Can I Participate in the ISP?
