Today the NCAA Legislative Council voted to add, pending approval from the NCAA Board of Directors, to add the following:
All student athletes in an athletics program, walk-on and scholarship, will get unlimited meals and snacks from the university.
Require Strength and Conditioning coaches to be certified.
Require a staff member to be certified in CPR and AED usage, and to be present at all training activities
Reduce drug penalty (first strike) from full season to half season
Require football players to rest for at least three hours between practices during the preseason. (Film review and tam meetings excluded)
I think this is in an interesting move given all the issues of athletes saying they can't afford food, and also in light of the union rulings. Question is, has this been in plan for a while, or is this more of a last minute idea to help in the recent events?
Everyone's opinion on the issue?
