Name, Image, Likeness

Division II Preview
Division II delegates will vote on 13 proposals, including one that, if adopted, would bring the notification of transfer model to Division II. The proposed transfer legislation would replace the permission-to-contact legislation for four-year student-athletes with a model similar to the one adopted in 2018 in Division I.
Division III Preview
Division III representatives will vote on 11 proposals , including adding equestrian, acrobatics and tumbling, and women’s wrestling to the Emerging Sports for Women list. Other key proposals are requiring schools and conferences to designate an athletics diversity and inclusion designee to be the primary contact for all information related to diversity and inclusion, permitting out-of-season leadership programming, and allowing schools to provide snacks and nutritional supplements incidental to athletics participation. The delegates also will consider a resolution that could impact the future of championship scheduling in baseball and softball.
