With the Syracuse Orange looking as though they might be excluded from the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year, fans might be interested in the latest NCAA recommendation.
The NCAA Transformation Committee made a number of recommendations this week. While there are some great inclusions (four-year scholarships, allowing schools to provide unlimited meals to athletes, and post-career health insurance/degree completion for example), the focus was on the post-season tournaments.
New: The D-I Transformation Committee is recommending that NCAA championships include 25% of each sport's participants. Plus, the formation of sport-specific management committees + new requirements regarding medical care & coverage for athletes.
