DI Champs/Sports Mgmt Cabinet 6/09
REPORT OF THE NCAA DIVISION I WRESTLING COMMITTEE
INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
1. Championships Date Formula. The committee has expressed interest in conducting fur-ther study surrounding the possibility of moving the championships date formula, effective with the 2013 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, such that the championships would take place the weekend after the NCAA Men’s Final Four. This would mean the event could take place during the same weekend as the NCAA Frozen Four. The NCAA Wrestling Committee has developed an internal strategic planning subcommittee, and would like permission to survey the membership if so desired. In addition, the committee also would like permission to survey the general public at the 2010 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships on various issues surrounding this topic. The earliest a recom-mendation would be submitted would be in time for the June, 2010 Cabinet meeting.
2. Misconduct. The committee issued two misconducts in conjunction with the 2009 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. The first misconduct was a public reprimand of Brent Metcalf of the University of Iowa regarding Mr. Metcalf’s aggressive post-match ac-tions that could have jeopardized the opposing student-athlete’s safety. The University of Iowa did not appeal this finding.
In addition, the second misconduct involved a private reprimand of a head coach at the championships for comments about the officiating on a live broadcast on ESPNU. As stated in the general section of the championships handbook, members of the coaching staff of participating institutions shall not make public statements critical of officiating in any NCAA championship event. The institution also did not appeal this finding.
Committee Chair: Brad Traviolia, Big Ten Conference
