87 Current I-AAA Institutions We are off to a great start and have already exceeded our stated goal of securing 50 members for our first year. Hope to continue to increase our numbers and have a good turnout for our Annual Meeting in June. Individuals were assigned to contact those AD's and Commissioners not yet on Board. NACDA to verify list of eligible I-AAA members. Current Balance of $15,167.90 is understated due to recent dues that are not reflected on the statement that reflects activity as of November 30, 2001 (i.e., income represents 45 paid members).
Chuck will forward a proposal detailing his offerings and the cost of his services. If deemed worthy by the Officers, he will be invited to speak at the general business session in Dallas and a vote would be taken by the membership to determine if funds should be allocated to enlist The Compliance Group to assist our organization. Our annual meeting is tentatively planned for Monday afternoon, June 17 It is expected that the Executive Committee will meet the evening before to prepare for the general business session and to fine tune agenda items. The Nominating Committee will conduct a conference call in April to determine the slate of individuals to fill any vacancies. Given that we are in our first year and do not yet have a Past-President, Bill Hogan will serve in this capacity and, per our Code of Regulations, appoint two other members to join Mike Bobinski (1st Vice President) and Dan Guerrero (2nd Vice-President)to develop the list of nominees. Potential June Agenda Items/Open Discussion: Inclusion of I-AA Non-Scholarship institutions - discussion was split on whether or not this would serve as a pro (additional members could provide strength in numbers from schools who share common philosophy of basketball as the core sport for their University - also added exposure of various additional "name" institutions to our ranks) or con (concern expressed that focus could shift away from basketball to football matters). A list of potential I-AA non-scholarship programs will be researched and circulated to the members. Exempted Events - Concern expressed to maintain these opportunities to assist I-AAA programs with neutral site contests against nationally ranked programs. Question arose of whether to keep at 2-in-4 years or to eliminate the restrictions which could prove damaging to most institutions if the higher profile institutions took the majority of the invitations and/or could afford the recruiting advantage of doing so every year in a different destination. The Management Council did not discuss this topic at their recent meetings at the NCAA Convention. 5/8 or 5/9 Men's Basketball Initial Grants - The Management Council did not discuss this issue either at their meetings. For now, it appears that 5/8 will remain unchanged, effective with the 2003-04 calendar. Post-Season NIT Tournament - The field will likely expand to 40 participants as of this year. Hopefully, this will evolve into more opportunities for deserving I-AAA teams in mid-major and lower conferences. Identity of the Association - Establishing avenues to generate positive recognition and notoriety of our organization. The primary purposes remain as:
