12.3.1.1 Exception \u2014 Baseball and Men\u2019s Ice Hockey \u2014 Prior to Full-Time Collegiate Enrollment. In baseball and men\u2019s ice hockey, prior to full-time collegiate enrollment, an individual who is drafted by a professional baseball or men\u2019s ice hockey team may be represented by an agent or attorney during contract negotiations. The individual may not receive benefits (other than representation) from the agent or attorney and must pay the going rate for the representation. If the individual does not sign a contract with the professional team, the agreement for representation with the agent or attorney must be terminated prior to full-time collegiate enrollment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Also at the meeting, schools voted to “ensure that medical costs for athletic injuries are covered by the school, along with a host of measures designed to clarify more precisely permissible recruitment benefits.”<\/p>\n
As a result of a proposal adopted earlier this week to start the basketball season three days earlier, the autonomy schools adopted a required three-day break from all required athletic activities during the school\u2019s winter break.<\/p>\n
Recognizing that some students who are injured playing sports need medical treatment after they have left school, the conferences adopted a measure to provide treatment for at least two years after the student has left his or her institution.<\/p>\n
In addition, representatives approved a measure changing the word \u201cspouse\u201d to \u201csignificant other,” so that fianc\u00e9es and\/or domestic partners of student-athletes and coaches are eligible receive permissible benefits.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur students put a lot of time and effort into athletics and we want to do all we can to help and protect them, especially when it comes to health care,\u201d the five commissioners of the ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12, and SEC said in a joint statement. \u201cFor four years in a row, we have made significant reforms, all of which are aimed at helping our students become successful in college and in life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Other reforms that have been put in place, according to a press release:<\/p>\n
\nTIME BALANCE REFORMS \u2013 2017<\/h4>\n
\u00b7 The Autonomy Five conferences, in consultation with students, coaches, faculty and administrators, approved changes giving students more time to pursue academics, work, internships, or additional rest and recovery.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Students who play sports will have an additional 21 days away from athletics, in most cases.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Student-athletes will be involved in the establishment of their schedules, allowing for more transparency for student-athletes than ever before.<\/p>\n
CONCUSSION PROTOCOL & INDEPENDENT MEDICAL CARE \u2013 2016 & 2015<\/h4>\n
\u00b7 To better protect the safety of students competing in athletics, medical officials at each school have \u201cunchallengeable autonomous authority\u201d in deciding a student\u2019s ability to play a sport.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 A Concussion Safety Protocol was established to review each institution\u2019s concussion management plan.<\/p>\n
COST OF ATTENDANCE REFORMS \u2013 2015<\/h4>\n
\u00b7 For the first time in history, students who play sports at an Autonomy Five institution are receiving full cost of attendance benefits as part of their athletic scholarship.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 These students can receive stipends to cover expenses in addition to their scholarships.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 In total, with scholarships and cost of attendance stipends, students may receive benefits for tuition, fees, room, board, books, transportation, general supplies, and personal expenses, allowing many of them to graduate debt-free.<\/p>\n
MULTI-YEAR SCHOLARSHIP REFORMS \u2013 2015<\/h4>\n
\u00b7 The Autonomy Five conferences voted to guarantee that athletic scholarships cannot be canceled for poor athletics performance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
