Policies &

Procedures

NCAA HONORS COMMITTEE

Honors Committee Composition (NCAA Bylaw 21.2.4.1)

The Honors Committee consists of nine members, including one current or former chancellor or pres-ident from a member institution, one member from each division and subdivision of Division I and three nationally distinguished citizens, one of which must be a former NCAA honors recipient. Divi-sions II and III are represented by members of the Management Councils. Two positions are allocated for men and two positions are allocated for women. Five positions are unallocated.

Term of Office Honors Committee members serve a four-year term and are not eligible for election to another term on the committee until three years have elapsed. A member may not serve on the committee more than two terms. Committee members appointed to serve half of a term or less (due to interim vacancies) are not con-sidered to have served a full term and, thus, are eligible for immediate election and are eligible to serve a full four-year term beyond their interim service.

Selection of Members

Division I members of the Honors Committee are selected by the Division I Administration Cabinet after a review of nominees submitted by the Division I conferences. Divisions II and III representatives are assigned from the Division II and Division III Management Councils. Nationally distinguished citizen members, and the current or former institutional president or chancel-lor member, are recommended by the Honors Committee and those recommendations are forwarded to the three divisional governance bodies for approval.

Selection of Chair The chair is elected by the Honors Committee and may serve as chair for the remainder of his/her term. The election of a new chair will occur during the final in-person meeting or conference call of the outgoing chair.

Duties (NCAA Bylaw 21.2.4.3) The committee shall receive nominations for the Theodore Roosevelt Award, the Silver Anniversary Awards, the Today’s Top 10 Awards, the Award of Valor and the Inspiration Award and shall select the recipients of those awards.

NCAA Honors Committee Page No. 2 _________

Honors Committee Operating Policies The Honors Committee strives to select honorees who are representative of the NCAA student-athlete population. Theodore Roosevelt Award The “Teddy” is the highest honor the NCAA may confer on an individual. It is named after President Theodore Roosevelt, whose concern for the conduct of intercollegiate athletics led to the formation of the NCAA in 1906.

The “Teddy” is presented annually to a distinguished citizen of national reputation and outstanding accomplishment. To be eligible the recipient must have graduated from an NCAA member institution and earned a varsity athletics award, or participated in competitive intercollegiate athletics. Further-more, the awardee, by personal example and contributions to society, exemplifies the ideals to which collegiate athletics programs and amateur sports competition are dedicated. Nominees need not be alumni of nominator’s institution; however, an employee of an athletics depart-ment at an NCAA member institution, or anyone who has been so employed within the last three years is not eligible for the award. Nominations submitted the past three years will be included automatically among the candidates for the current year’s award. The recipient must attend the award presentation to receive the award. Committee members will forward their top three selections (ranked) for consideration by the full com-mittee. Silver Anniversary Award The Silver Anniversary Award shall be presented annually to six varsity letter winners from NCAA member institutions on the 25th anniversary of the end of their athletics eligibility. The nominee must be a college graduate and must have achieved personal distinction since his or her graduation. The award recipients must attend the award presentation to receive the award. Selection Criteria Prominent Collegiate Athlete .............................................................................................................. 1/3 Career Achievement ............................................................................................................................ 2/3 Committee members will forward their top five selections (ranked) for consideration by the full com-mittee. Today’s Top 10 Award The Today’s Top 10 Award is presented to 10 NCAA member institution student-athletes at the end of their athletics eligibility. Nominees must be varsity letter winners and have at least a 3.300 grade-point average. There is no set male-female ratio. At least one recipient must be selected from each

NCAA Honors Committee Page No. 3 _________ division. Geographical equality is not necessary. No more than three Today’s Top 10 award recipients may come from any sport. There is no limit on awardees from a single institution. Selection Criteria Athletics Ability and Achievement ......................................................................................... 50 percent Academic Excellence .............................................................................................................. 30 percent Character, Leadership, Activities ............................................................................................ 15 percent [Note: Five percentage points may be awarded by the committee member in any category.] Committee members will forward their top 10 Division I selections (ranked) and their top eight Divi-sion II and Division III selections (ranked) for consideration by the full committee. Award of Valor The NCAA Award of Valor may be presented to a coach or administrator currently associated with intercollegiate athletics, or to a current or former varsity letter-winner at an NCAA institution who, when confronted with a situation involving personal danger, averted or minimized potential disaster by courageous action or noteworthy bravery. For a member of the armed forces confronted with a duty-connected situation to be eligible for the Award of Valor, the action must be clearly above and beyond the call of duty and so recognized by the appropriate military command. For an on-duty member of a police force or similar security or protective organization to be eligible for the Award of Valor, the action must be clearly above and beyond the call of duty and so recognized by the appropriate authority. The Award of Valor is not presented automatically on an annual basis. Selection is based on heroic action occurring January 1 of the previous year to May of the current solicitation year. (For example, for the 2017 Honors program, the act of heroism must have occurred between January 1, 2015, and May 2016.) Non-selected nominees for acts of heroism between January 1 and May 1 of the solicita-tion year should be carried forward to the next year’s selection meeting. (For example, for the 2017 Honors program, nominations received for acts of heroism that took place between January 1, 2015, and May 1, 2016, would be forwarded to the committee for consideration.) Committee members will forward their first choice (if any) for consideration by the full committee. Inspiration Award The Inspiration Award may be presented to a coach or administrator currently associated with inter-collegiate athletics, or to a current or former varsity letter-winner at an NCAA institution who, when confronted with a life-altering situation used perseverance, dedication and determination to overcome the event and now serves as a role model to give hope and inspiration to others in similar situations.

NCAA Honors Committee Page No. 4 _________ For a member of the armed forces confronted with a duty-connected situation to be eligible for the Inspiration Award, the action must be clearly above and beyond the call of duty and so recognized by the appropriate military command. For an on-duty member of a police force or similar security or protective organization to be eligible for the Inspiration Award, the action must be clearly above and beyond the call of duty and so recog-nized by the appropriate authority. The Inspiration Award is not presented automatically on an annual basis. The award recipient must attend the award presentation to receive the award. Committee members will forward their top three choices (if any) for consideration by the full commit-tee. Award of Valor and Inspiration Awards A maximum total of two Awards of Valor and/or Inspiration Awards can be awarded in any given year. Deserving nominations can be held for consideration the following year at the discretion of the committee.

Honors Committee Meetings Expense Policies The NCAA pays for transportation to and from Honors Committee meetings, hotel room and tax charges, and a $75 per diem for each day or part thereof involved in traveling to and from and attend-ance at the meeting. All members must use Short's Travel Management, the Association’s travel agency, for their transportation arrangements to committee meetings. The NCAA will also pay mileage to and from the committee member’s home/institution and airport if the round-trip mileage exceeds 50 miles. The NCAA will also reimburse committee members for the cost of checking one bag. Transportation and the hotel room and tax are billed directly to the NCAA; committee members are responsible for incidental charges to his or her hotel room. At the conclusion of the meeting, each member will receive an e-mail which includes a link to access an online expense system on which to claim per diem and any other expenses permitted under NCAA policies. Meetings The Honors Committee meets in-person in January (in conjunction with the NCAA Convention). The committee meets by conference call in June to select the Theodore Roosevelt, Silver Anniversary, Valor (if merited), and Inspiration (if merited) Awards recipients. The committee meets in person in September to select the Today’s Top 10 Award recipients. Expenses associated with attendance at the NCAA Convention to attend the Honors presentation are covered for committee members in the same manner as attendance at a committee meeting (transportation, hotel room and tax, per diem). The NCAA will provide hotel accommodations for two

NCAA Honors Committee Page No. 5 _________ nights. Management Council representatives’ travel and hotel arrangements for the Convention should be coordinated through their divisional Management Council liaisons. Meeting materials for the June conference call and September in-person meeting are sent to the com-mittee at least 25 days prior to the meeting. Materials for the January meeting are sent to the committee at least two weeks prior to the meeting. Meeting Reports Reports of all NCAA meetings are restricted to actions only and such factual data as may be needed. Discussion and general commentary shall be included in reports as informational items if deemed ap-propriate. Due to the confidential nature of the Honors Committee actions, reports of the Honors Committee meetings are not posted on the NCAA website. Conflict of Interest Statement

The NCAA is a voluntary Association comprised of colleges, universities, conferences and other or-ganizations, and governed through a membership-led committee structure. Within the governance structure, committee members must carefully balance their responsibilities to their respective institu-tions and/or conferences with the obligation to advance the interests of the Association, the division, or the sport, and ultimately enhance the student-athlete experience. While the fiduciary obligations of committee members to their own institution, their conference, and to the Association ordinarily are not in conflict, it is recognized that as a representative membership organization, committee members’ fiduciary obligations are first to their institution, second to their conference, and third to the Associa-tion. NCAA committee service involves important ethical and moral obligations. Committee integrity is critical to the decision-making process and includes trust, confidentiality and honesty in all issues and aspects of service and representation. NCAA committee members shall disclose any conflict or potential conflict between their respective personal, professional, institutional, conference, or business interests and the interests of the Association that may affect or otherwise threaten such integrity, in any and all actions taken by them on behalf of the Association, for committee evaluation under this State-ment. In addition to any fiduciary obligation to their institution and conference, committee members also have a fiduciary duty to the Association not to use knowledge or information obtained solely due to service on that committee to the disadvantage of the Association during the term of committee service. Further, a Committee member shall not participate in the committee’s discussion or vote on any action that might bring direct or indirect personal financial benefit to the member or any organization (other than the member’s institution or conference) in which the member is financially interested. A commit-tee member should also not participate in a discussion or vote for which the member’s institution or conference is to be accorded a special benefit beyond benefits shared with other institutions or confer-ences or is to receive a penalty or disqualification. A violation of either of the above rules by a member of the committee shall not invalidate the action taken by the committee if, following disclosure of the conflict of interest, the committee authorizes, ratifies or approves the action by a vote sufficient for the purpose, without counting the vote of the committee member with the conflict of interest, and the appropriate oversight body approves the action.

NCAA Honors Committee Page No. 6 _________ A committee member is responsible for advising the chair of any actual or potential conflicts of interest or obligations which he/she may have hereunder, and should recuse him/herself from participating in proceedings, as may be warranted by this policy. Abuse of one’s position as a member of a committee may result in dismissal from that position. Where such abuse appears evident, a committee member will be notified by the committee chair and will have the opportunity to present a rebuttal or details of the situation. Speaking Agent Policy The president of the Association and the chair of the Executive Committee are the only individuals authorized to speak on behalf of the Association except as outlined below. An individual representing a member institution or conference who speaks or opines on an Association issue only has the authority to express the view of that individual or the member institution or confer-ence unless the individual has been designated by the Executive Committee of the Association as a speaking agent of the Association on that issue. Committee chairs are hereby designated as speaking agents of their committees regarding issues within their committees’ jurisdiction on which there is consensus, except that positions of advocacy on behalf of the committee or the Association to be communicated in writing or orally to persons or entities external to the Association must have prior approval by the NCAA Executive Committee or the pres-ident of the Association. The president of the Association is hereby granted authority to designate additional speaking agents of the Association. NCAA/05_17_2016/SKT
