The Division I Football Bowl Licensing Task Force is recommending that the NCAA shift its focus on the financial viability of bowls to the conferences, which have responsibility for the contests because they contract directly with the bowl agencies for the games.

The task force says this approach favors the NCAA regulating areas more aligned with the Association's core values of student-athlete welfare and preserving the collegiate model of intercollegiate sports.

Overall, the task force recommendations will strengthen bowl criteria in the areas of governance, community support, sponsorship and advertising and align them with the values of higher education and intercollegiate athletics, said Harvey Perlman, task force chair and chancellor of the University of Nebraska.

IMO It should be up to the NCAA to set the guidelines for Bowls. I can't imagine letting conferences set up there own rules on half the stuff they are suggesting.

The task force also is recommending that each bowl sponsoring agency adopt policies to regulate advertising. The NCAA president will have the authority to rule in cases where doubt exists concerning acceptable advertising or promotion; however, the following advertisements and promotions would be prohibited:

  • Alcoholic beverages that exceed 6 percent alcohol by volume. Advertising of malt beverages, beer and wine products that do not exceed 6 percent alcohol by volume may be used in game programs. Such advertisements, however, shall not compose more than 14 percent of the space in the program devoted to advertising or not more than 60 seconds per hour of any telecast or broadcast; The NCAA has done fine with regulations so far and it is up to them to write the law and conferences to enforce.
  • Cigarettes and other tobacco products; Hello it's already done!!!!
  • Organizations promoting gambling associated with the outcome of athletic contests; Perfect example is the SEC on this one! Yes we set our own rules so it's now legal to promote gambling as long as you don't get caught. :wacko:
  • Nontherapeutic drugs;
  • The advertising or promotion of other goods or services that specifically or in the totality of the advertising is inconsistent with the well-being of student athletes or the image and best interests of higher education or intercollegiate athletics. The problem is not the NCAA can not handle the advertisement. The problem is conferences do not like the model set by NCAA and they want to steer away from it just like they have steered away from integrity.
This is the funniest quote of all: said Perlman. “we need to be assured that bowls are governed with integrity.”
Dear Mr. Perlman to govern with integrity you don't govern yourself. Do it with an outside agency that has nothing to do with your conference, bowl or school.

Overall the task force did not hit on one thing that is for the good of the student athelete. But what the recomendations were about was giving the conferences the right to advertise. Get ready boys and girls school names will change for sponor years and AGC will become AT&T stadium. That is what the task force is really up to this time around. IMO

The NCAA has no power. It is just a front for the schools. The NCAA cannot pass legislation. It can recommend & suggest, but the schools vote, approve, etc. So whether the NCAA or a conference "sets" the guidelines doesn't matter because it is the schools themselves who actually vote & therefore set the guidelines; whether it is done under the cover of a conference or NCAA banner.

If you don't like something about the NCAA the correct place to advocate change is with your university president or athletic director.

The NCAA has about as much power as the Vice President does in the US Senate's legislation.

Rules and regulations have been set by the governing body which is universities but it has been up to the NCAA to enforce regulations.
True they can not pass legislation but as you stated the schools must vote and the NCAA has the right to call meetings for votes and state their cases for the schools to vote! The committee's lately have been trying to commercialize college sports and the NCAA can fight them. If the large schools get what they want then college sports as we know it will cease to exist. The NCAA began due to high injury numbers back in 1906 and exploitative athlete practices. Exploitative practices just like what is happening now! Let's pay players so schools who can not afford it will never get the chance like TCU and LT, lets sell stadium names to corporations, push out smaller colleges just because we can, lets make sure if we get caught doing something illegal we can change rules so they no longer apply (SEC meeting this year), commercialize so much we have Trogan Condoms on our uniform or helmet, sell the rights to our science departments, etc................. They have done alright until the last 10 years but now greed has reared it's head and it doesn't look good for college sports. Maybe they do need more rights to keep all of this from happening. If not it will get pretty messy real soon! IMO
