2016-12 Incentive Programs Intent To specify that an individual may accept funds directly from his or her country's national governing body for a particular sport based on place finish in one event per year that is designated as the highest level of international competition for the year by the governing body.
Effective Date Immediate

11
2016-12 Incentive Programs Rationale Currently, PSAs and student-athletes may accept funds from his or her country's national Olympic governing body (U.S. Olympic Committee or the equivalent international committee) based on place finish in one event per year that is designated as the highest level of international competition for the year by the governing body. The application of the current legislation requires that the national Olympic governing body be involved at least to the extent of approving the receipt of funds from other national governing bodies for other elite level competitions such as the World Championships, World University Games, World University Championships, Pan American Games and World Cup. This proposal would allow incentive funds for place finish in designated international competition to be provided directly from a national governing body for a particular sport without the approval or involvement of a country's Olympic governing body.

2016-16 Exhibitions and Scrimmages Intent To specify that a student-athlete (beyond his or her initial year of enrollment at the certifying institution) may participate in preseason exhibition contests and preseason practice scrimmages (as permitted in the particular sport per Bylaw 17) without counting such competition as a season of competition.
Effective Date Immediate; may be applied retroactively to a student-athlete with eligibility remaining in his or her five-year period of eligibility.
Wednesday, January 4, 2017
Ask Before You Act!
13
2016-16 Exhibitions and Scrimmages Rationale Currently, only a student-athlete in his or her initial year of enrollment at the certifying institution may compete in preseason exhibitions or practice scrimmages without using a season of competition. In addition, participation in either one alumni game, one fundraising activity or one celebrity sports activity during a season does not count as a season of competition. This proposal would enhance student-athlete well-being by providing equal opportunities to student-athletes in sports that permit preseason exhibitions and scrimmages as compared to sports that schedule other applicable exempt contests. Additionally, in sports such as men's basketball, the rate of transfer due to minimal playing time continues to increase, particularly after the second year of enrollment. Allowing participation in additional contests would provide student-athletes the opportunity to evaluate their role on the team by participating in preseason games without using a season of competition. This engagement with the team and additional information about their role improves student-athlete well-being by helping them make informed decisions before a potential transfer, while potentially improving retention rates. It is not anticipated that this exception would increase tryouts or run-offs as coaches already have ample opportunity to evaluate the abilities of a student-athlete who is a member of the program for multiple years.

2016-22 Recruited PSA Intent To eliminate, for purposes of Bylaw 13, initiating or arranging a telephone contact with a PSA, the PSA's relatives or legal guardians on more than one occasion as an action that causes the PSA to become a recruited PSA.
Effective Date August 1, 2017
Wednesday, January 4, 2017
Ask Before You Act!
15
2016-22 Recruited PSA Rationale Currently, there are two separate definitions of a recruited PSA, one for Bylaw 13 purposes and one for Bylaw 15 purposes. Having two different definitions can be confusing. Establishing one definition that is applicable to all bylaws will help coaches and financial aid personnel understand the appropriate terms. The Bylaw 13 definition of recruited should be consistent with the financial aid definition. It is a rare occurrence that the only action to cause a PSA to become recruited is telephone contact on more than one occasion. Therefore, it should be eliminated as an action that causes a PSA to become recruited.

2016-47 Picture of PSA Intent To eliminate the restriction on providing a PSA a photograph of him or her that is taken during a campus visit for the purpose of the institution's permissible publicity and promotional activities.
Effective Date August 1, 2017
Wednesday, January 4, 2017
Ask Before You Act!
17
2016-47 Picture of PSA Rationale Removing the restriction on providing a photograph taken during a campus visit to the PSA would make the publicity legislation consistent with the recruiting materials legislation. The recruiting materials legislation regarding size and other restrictions would continue to apply; however, the simple act of providing a photograph of the PSA to the PSA should not be considered publicity of his or her visit to campus.

2016-51 Campus Tours Intent To specify that an institution's athletics department may arrange and/or conduct a campus tour during the institution's camp or clinic, provided the format of the tour has been approved by an institutional authority outside the athletics department (e.g., admissions office).
Effective Date Immediate
Wednesday, January 4, 2017
Ask Before You Act!
19
2016-51 Campus Tours Rationale This proposal seeks to more appropriately recognize a campus tour as a benign element of a camp and clinic, similar to recruiting conversations that may currently occur between coaches and PSAs. This proposal also supports the goals of the Rules Working Group by revising an unenforceable and impractical rule. In addition, this proposal does not significantly change the overall prohibition on recruiting at camps and clinics, including extending written offers of athletics aid to prospective student athletes. Institutional control safeguards will be in place, as athletics departments would be required to have the format of such tours approved by an institutional authority outside the athletics department (e.g., admissions office). Similarly, allowing for this practical change would not offer any advantage outside the already acknowledged variability that currently exists between institutions as it pertains to facilities, geographic location and available resources.

20
2016-53 Camps and Clinics Intent In sports other than baseball, basketball, football and women's volleyball, to specify that during a quiet period, an institution's coach or noncoaching staff member with sport-specific responsibilities may be employed (either on salaried or a volunteer basis) only at his or her institution's camps or clinics.
Effective Date August 1, 2017
Wednesday, January 4, 2017
Ask Before You Act!
21
2016-53 Camps and Clinics Rationale The recruiting process has become overly burdensome for both PSAs and coaches. The culture of early recruiting has significantly intensified and soliciting recruits to verbally commit as early as possible is being orchestrated despite rules that prohibit most recruiting activities until the junior year of high school in most sports. Through club and nonscholastic coaches, camps and clinics, correspondence, social media and phone calls, access to PSAs has altered the timeline for recruiting and exacerbated it in ways that are not beneficial for PSAs or coaches. The purpose of this proposal, and others submitted by the sponsor, is to close loopholes in recruiting legislation that are making it possible for institutional staff members/coaches to develop relationships with PSAs (and their families) for the purpose of recruitment prior to the first permissible date to initiate communication with them. In an attempt to preserve the integrity of the recruiting process/landscape, these loopholes (third party communication, calls initiated by the PSA, unlimited unofficial visits, etc.) must be regulated to further the Division I commitment to responsible recruiting standards.

22
2016-77 Counters Intent In sports other than men's basketball, to specify that a studentathlete who receives athletically related institutional financial aid in academic years following the departure of a head coach from the institution is not a counter, provided: The student-athlete participated in the applicable sport and received athletically related institutional financial aid during the coach's tenure at the institution; and The student-athlete does not participate in the applicable sport during subsequent academic years at the institution; further, to specify that if the student-athlete subsequently participates in the applicable sport at the institution, the student-athlete shall become a counter for all years during which he or she received athletically related institutional aid.
Effective Date August 1, 2017
Wednesday, January 4, 2017
Ask Before You Act!
23
2016-77 Counters Rationale This proposal would provide additional flexibility to a studentathlete who may not want to transfer when his or her coach leaves the institution, particularly for a student-athlete who is in his or her final two or three semesters of a degree program. A student-athlete who wishes to remain at an institution to complete his or her degree will be much more likely to be able to do so with the opportunity to continue to receive athletically related financial aid. This legislation has applied to men's basketball since 2010.

A commercial establishment would become a cosponsor if the commercial establishment either advertises the presence of the student-athlete at the commercial location or is involved directly or indirectly in promoting the activity.

OTHER BUSINESS & QUESTIONS? NCAA BYLAW 19.01.5 EXEMPLARY CONDUCT Individuals employed by or associated with member institutions for the administration, the conduct or the coaching of intercollegiate athletics are, in the final analysis, teachers of young people. Their responsibility is an affirmative one, and they must do more than avoid improper conduct or questionable acts. Their own moral values must be so certain and positive that those younger and more pliable will be influenced by a fine example. Much more is expected of them than of the less critically placed citizen.

OTHER BUSINESS & QUESTIONS? NCAA BYLAW 19.01.5 EXEMPLARY CONDUCT Individuals employed by or associated with member institutions for the administration, the conduct or the coaching of intercollegiate athletics are, in the final analysis, teachers of young people. Their responsibility is an affirmative one, and they must do more than avoid improper conduct or questionable acts. Their own moral values must be so certain and positive that those younger and more pliable will be influenced by a fine example. Much more is expected of them than of the less critically placed citizen.
