SAN ANTONIO — For years, we’ve poked fun at the glacial pace the NCAA and its member schools employ when faced with challenges that might require changes to the rules. For example, there was the time in 2008 when the schools decided to better define what “nutritional supplements” schools could provide athletes beyond the three meals a day in their scholarship meal plans. That round of legislation turned the schmearing of cream cheese into an NCAA violation, and it took six more years before coming to the simple (and correct) conclusion that schools should be allowed to provide unlimited food to athletes if those schools chose.
