Reply to "Four-Year Guarantees Approved by NCAA"

No, you don't have to log, but you do need to know how to navigate the somewhat eccentric NCAA.org site.

Go to NCAA.org, click on Resources, click on "SEARCH NCAA LEGISLATION & MAJOR INFRACTIONS CASES", hover over Search, and click on Division 1 Proposals.

At the search form, you can do a lot of things. But to see this particular proposal, enter in 2011-97. [I found this number by selecting search on 2011, and specifying Article 15 (Financial Aid), which gave me a list of 10 or so proposals.]

Now, a note of caution. Frequently proposals become modified during the proposal process, including override periods. Please do not assume that the final rule will be identical to the proposal. For example, we all know about the minimum 25% for D1 baseball scholarships. That went well into the override process at 33%, and with the possibility to incorporate academic money to get to 33%. The final version of the proposal, marked as adopted and final, had 25%, but still allowed using academic money to make up the 33%. The actual rule as printed in the manual, doesn't allow using academic money as part of the now 25%.

Under no circumstances should you decide to take the easy way out and just read the final press release from the NCAA. More often than not, the releases are factually incorrect, often in a major way.
