NCAA 2000-present 'Amateurism in college athletics'

By saraskkinen

  • NCAA headquarter offices moves to Indianapolis

    2000—The Association moved its offices from Kansas City to Indianapolis
    -lost many key staff members and institutional memory in the process
    + new ideas and fresh perspectives from their replacements, staff members have been empowered to inject their own judgment, based on the facts of the case, to ensure fair treatment
    --> This helped NCAA to make their rules and ideas more modern and updated for the needs of new century.

  • APR- Academic Progress Rate

    The GRS legislation was approved. NCAA also strengthened continuing-eligibility standards. Division I Board of Directors assigned on Academic Progress Rate (APR). The formula establishes a cutoff score that equates statistically with a 50 percent graduation rate. GSR standards begin for institutions that continue to have teams falling below the cutoff score. Penalties worked from warnings to scholarships to recruiting restrictions.NCAA to show that academics are still important for athletes.

  • NCAA established the office of inclusions

    NCAA established the office of Inclusion to be charge to provide programs+education which sustains foundations of diversity&inclusive culture (age,race,sex, class, national origin, creed, educational background, disability, gender expression, geographic location, income, marital status, parental status, sexual orientation, and work experiences)
    -->Before this NCAA hadn't showed any interests towards the Civil Rights movement, this was the first time they showed some interest for diversity etc.

  • NCAA tweaked its treatment of amateurism

    2012-2014 NCAA legislation for schools to the option to award multiyear scholarships, Food service for athletes, Payments for parents to attend post-season games and championships+'laundry money' to pay student-athletes
    -->College athletics will have to move to the same direction and allow athletes some benefits that haven't seen before. These changes eased peoples understanding and respect towards NCAA but also affected lot of negative talk about amateurism

  • NCAA one billion dollars revenue

    2013-2014 NCAA approaches one billion dollars in revenue for the fiscal year.The total through August 31, 2014 was 989 million in revenue. A majority of it came from championship television contracts and championship and NAIA championship gate receipts and sponsorships. They had 908 million dollars in expenses, leaving a surplis of 80 million.
    --> Men's basketball got millions whereas women's basketball got nothing Gender equality, amateurism etc.

  • The O-Bannon vs. NCAA case

    O'Bannon college basketball player, enrolled at and played for UCLA and their basketball program. he went to court for an antitrust class action, arguing that a graduated student-athlete should receive benefits and profit from the NCAA's use of their name and likeness.
    -->schools were forced to offer full cost-of-attendance scholarships, which included living expenses. colleges were permitted to put $5,000 in a trust for a player for each year of eligibility. Again talk about amateurism.

  • The power five conferences gained autonomy from NCAA

    The Power Five conferences gained autonomy, by using the revenue from the CFP to offer its players scholarships that cover the full cost of attendance, and lifelong scholarship opportunities for its former players. This is something that the FBS creates for its players, and they wanted to keep this advantage for its student-athletes, so that recruits would be forced to choose them over FCS or other D1 schools. Other schools and conferences didn't have the financial resources

  • NCAA extends its tv sponsorship deal and increases its annual value to 1.1 billion dollars

    the NCAA extends its tv sponsorship deal, increasing its annual value to 1.1 billion dollars. This shows the immense amount of revenue the NCAA. How these athletes are not compensated at all, if they are bringing in so much revenue to the NCAA. The deal was extended through 2026-2033.This is only for the rights to broadcast March Madness, a one-month college basketball playoff. Can you imagine the amount of money the NCAA is making as whole from television contracts and sponsorships.

  • Fair pay to play act

    College athletes will soon be allowed to be paid for NIL. They might allowed to be paid in the future. California was the first state to make a ruling on the Fair pay to play act which would go into effect in 2023. With this ruling it is pressuring all other states and schools to allow student athletes to be paid. The rules and regulations of this are still being talked out, but this will soon be in place for the NCAA. Will either force NCAA to stop the amateurism or change rules.

  • Covid-19 decisions for student-athletes and colleges

    NCAA D1 board of directors announced that it will work to host fall sport championships in the spring of 2021
    Blanket waiver for student athletes - additional year of eligibility and additional year to complete it
    +Post pone football/basketball seasons
    NCAA have a lot to think about related to Covid-19 and its affects to revenue and student-athletes
