Championships/Competition Cabinet intends to protect women’s opportunities
SAVANNAH, Georgia — The Division I Championships/Com*petition Cabinet has taken a non-legislative approach to the use of male practice players by women’s teams rather than advocate for legislative regulations.
The cabinet at its June 26-27 meeting developed a 14-point statement of expectations for institutions that use males in practices. Those expectations include compliance with applicable NCAA, conference and institutional rules regarding the use of male practice players and an assurance that their use does not compromise competitive opportunities for women.
After examining the use of male practice players over the past year through surveys conducted by the NCAA research staff, cabinet members believe the review has been healthy for Division I.
“The overall process was effective and engaged the membership in a meaningful way,” said cabinet Chair and Patriot League Executive Director Carolyn Schlie Femovich. “The survey and the ongoing conversation proved informative and heightened awareness about this issue.” According to NCAA.org
