Cavalier Corner

Members of the UVA administration, led by President Sullivan, Dr. Caro- lyn Callahan, Craig Littlepage, Jane Miller and Eric Baumgartner, recently participated in the 2016 NCAA Convention in San Antonio, Texas. At the meeting, nine proposals and one resolution were voted on by the 65 autonomy schools and from the Power Five conferences. Most discussion during the meetings at the Convention surrounded the resolution that will put the focus on student-athlete time demands. Going into the Convention, three time demand proposals were presented to the Autonomy membership: 1) providing student-athletes with at least an 8-hour resting period between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.; 2) providing student- athletes with a two-week off period after their championship segment has concluded; and 3) if a team arrived back to campus or Grounds after midnight, that day could not be considered the student-athletes day off for the week. In lieu of voting on these three proposals, the autonomy membership adopted a resolution to take a broader and deeper look at student-athlete time demands. As such, the resolution requires at a minimum, a review of all student-athlete time demands in order to bring forward meaningful proposals for the 2016-17 legislative cycle. Over the course of the next several months, autonomy conferences and delegates will meet to work on the resolution and ultimately propose legislation. The anticipated results of these meetings will result in new proposals to address student-athlete time demands to include proposals to address the rest period, time away from the sport at the conclusion of the championship segment and travel day/day off as mentioned above, in addition to other student- athlete time demand issues.
