College presidents challenge the NCAA
JGA Today
- The same group of
college presidents that managed to
impose tough new academic
standards for athletes on the
National Collegiate Athletic
Association has announced a drive
to exert more control over all the
NCAA's policy-making
procedures
A group of 27 college presidents
— members of the American
Council on Education's Committee
on Division I Intercollegiate
Athletics — emerged from a
meeting in Colorado last week
with plans to create a new NCAA
group made up exclusively of
campus presidents
It's only the most recent
challenge to the NCAA's ad
ministrative staff's authority A
group of some NCAA-member
schools have sued to keep the
NCAA from negotiating future
television contracts for them The
case is pending The enormous
revenues generated by the con
tracts had been the major tools
used by the NCAA to keep mem
bers in line
The so-called Board of
Presidents "will be concerned with
issues of academic standards,
financial matters and the general
integrity of intercollegiate sports,"
said Bob Atwell, the ACE's acting
president
The proposed 36-member board
would give the presidents direct
control over solutions to the grade
fixing and recruiting scandals that
have rocked college sports in
recent years. Atwell said.
"At the present time, it's dif
ficult for presidents to participate
in policy-making decisions i within
the NCAA), particularly at the
Division 1 level.” he said
Although the new board's plans
are still tentative, they could mean
tougher grade standards and more
control for individual schools over
sports revenues
The NCAA, on the other hand.
says the proposed board is un
necessary "since the structure is
already in place for (the
presidents) to do what they want to
do," NCAA spokesman Dave
Cawoodsaid.
"The NCAA has been built on
institutional control and
(presidents) have always had the
power to determine the voting
delegate for their institutions." he
added
But the ACE presidents maintain
their delegates are usually athletic
directors Even if they're formally
appointed by the presidents, At
well said, they don't give the
presidents a direct say in the
policy-making
"Plus, college presidents really
don't have the time required to be
a delegate, but they do want to
participate in deciding major
issues The Board of Presidents
would give them this opportunity,”
Atwell added
The ACE, in the meantime, is
hoping to have the full NCAA vote
on its proposal at the NCAA con
vention in January.
The presidents, however, are
apparently interested only in
Division 1 sports.
