\"accteams\"<\/a>The Atlantic Coast Conference on Monday announced three legislative proposals that have been submitted to the NCAA as part of the recently adopted Division I autonomy process as approved by the league\u2019s Council of Presidents.<\/p>\n

The proposals focus on the issues of cost of attendance, loss-of-value insurance and scholarship renewal. The ACC will work with the NCAA to finalize legislative language in anticipation of the January NCAA Convention.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ACC\u2019s continued discussions related to enhancing the student-athletes\u2019 experience has resulted in our submission of three legislative proposals,\u201d said Donna E. Shalala, Chair of the ACC Council of Presidents and President of the University of Miami.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese three proposals create a pathway to additional benefits for student-athletes, which continues to be the top-priority,\u201d said ACC Commissioner John Swofford. \u201cOur Council of Presidents and membership will continue to explore ways to enhance our student-athletes\u2019 experience within the collegiate model.\u201d<\/p>\n

A brief synopsis of the proposals submitted by the ACC follows:<\/p>\n

Cost of attendance: This proposal will permit an institution to provide an athletics scholarship to any student-athlete up to their cost of attendance at the institution. The cost of attendance figure shall be determined using federal regulations and in a manner consistent with institutional policies for the establishment of the value for all students. This proposal will be permissive and apply to student-athletes in all sports. The effective date would by August 1, 2015 and agreements may be executed prior to that date to take effect in the 2015-16 academic year.<\/p>\n

Loss-of-value insurance: This proposal is intended to permit a student-athlete to borrow against his or her future earnings potential to obtain loss-of-value insurance. The proposal will make the treatment of loss-of-value insurance consistent with that of disability insurance. The effective date would be immediate.<\/p>\n

Scholarship renewal: This proposal precludes an institution from not renewing a student-athlete\u2019s athletic scholarship for athletics performance or injury reasons, even after the period of the award. The effective date would be Aug. 1, 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
