The group tasked with reimagining college sports proposed increased postseason participation for larger sports while also advocating for student-athlete’s rights and support.
An NCAA committee that was charged with a wide-ranging examination of the future of major-college sports released a series of recommendations on Tuesday that could lead to an array of significant changes for the association’s most visible athletics programs.►Increasing the number of schools in NCAA Division I championships to 25% of the schools sponsoring a given sport, if the sport is sponsored by more than 200 schools.
The committee also recommended that the Divsion I board and NCAA executive staff"evaluate each sport for potential growth in …revenue generation, including additional sport-specific sponsorship and partnership opportunites" as part of upcoming contract negotiations. These types of protections for athletes have been among those called for in recent years by Democrats in Congress, while the NCAA has been seeking federal laws regarding athletes’ ability to make money from the names, images and likenesses.
The recommendations come from the Division I Transformation Committee, a 21-member group that primarily included college presidents and athletics administrators, but also had faculty and athlete representations. In a nod to gaining voices from Power 5 conferences and those outside those financially powerful leagues, it has been co-chaired by Southeastern Conference commissioner Greg Sankey and Ohio University athletics director Julie Cromer.
