HJ 662 Student athletes; NCAA pending amateurism deregulation proposals.
Introduced by: Robert Tata | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
National Collegiate Athletic Association's pending amateurism deregulation proposals. Expresses the strong opposition of the General Assembly to the NCAA's proposals to allow student athletes to receive pay for participation in sports while in high school and yet retain eligibility for college athletics by abstaining from such activities upon entering higher education. This resolution notes that the NCAA's official policy is still that there is "a clear line of demarcation between college athletics and professional sports,” that the lure of big money and benefits has moved basketball toward professionalism at all levels, that a number of embarrassing and costly incidents have occurred relating to college teams and players who have engaged in prohibited activities during high school; that these incidents have lead to discussion at the organizational level and resulted in the NCAA amateurism deregulation proposals, and that deregulation could result in increased drop-out rates and the demise of high school athletic programs.
