Meeting Minutes October 13, 2016

The Board of Trustees of the Georgia Tech Athletic Association met in regular session in the Goldsmith Conference Room at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, October 13, 2016.

The following Board members, officers, and invitees were present: President G.P. “Bud” Peterson (Chair), Dr. Reggie DesRoches (Vice Chair), Steve Swant (Treasurer), Paul Griffin (Interim Director of Athletics), John Brock, Usha Nair-Reichert, Mac Nease, III, Dr. Colin Potts, Dr. Jud Ready, Dr. Georga Riley, Fran Rogers, David Scripka, Dr. Jenny Singleton, Dr. John Tone, Lynn Durham, Joe Irwin, Vidya Iyer, Pat McKenna, John Stein, Joeleen Akin, Doug Allvine, Brett Daniels, Shoshanna Engel, Derek Grice, Jim Hall, Marvin Lewis, Jack Thompson, John David Wicker, Trey Long, Ken Segiura.

President Peterson welcomed all present at 9:03 a.m. and proceeded to introduce and welcome the editor of the Technique, Vidya Iye, and the president of the Graduate Student Government Association (SGA), David Scripka. He presented the two newest members of the Board, John Brock and Professor Jenny Singleton and mentioned the recent Board resignation of Seletha Butler. The President called for the approval of minutes, requesting any questions, comments or concerns. A motion to accept the minutes was called; the motion seconded; all were in favor. Minutes were approved.

Mr. Steve Swant provided the Committee on Finance and Administration report. The Committee met on September 29th and proceeded to review four items. One essential item was the FY16 Audited Financial Statement reviewed with the audit team lead, Trey Long, introduced later in the report. FY16 closed as projected with a $107,000 surplus. The surplus was attributed to strong football ticket sales offset by increased expenses from the recent men’s basketball staff transition. Mr. Swant referenced the materials in the packet and proceeded to address the FY17 budget. He referenced the last meeting and the approval of the FY17 budget and the projected 2.4M deficit. The projected shortfall was attributed to the off-year football home scheduling circumstance which usually leads to a dip in ticket sale revenue, the director of athletics transition, and the anticipated impact of the Fair Labor Standards Act. After the first quarter, Mr. Marvin Lewis projected a 2.7M deficit which will be funded by the 6.6M fund balance from last year. Mr. Swant concluded his report with the last item discussed during the Finance and Administration Committee meeting, long-term growth. He explained that over the next few months, the GTAA will conduct a detailed review of the Long Term Growth Fund which will provide feedback and opportunities for lower refinancing rates in the long-term debt picture.

Mr. Swant handed the floor to Mr. Marvin Lewis who introduced Mr. Trey Long, from the James Moore Auditing Firm. Mr. Long commented that he is the lead partner on the Georgia Tech Athletic Association Audit. He referenced the handout containing the financial statements for FY15 and FY16. Mr. Long met with the Committee to review the financial statements in detail. Page 1-2 contains the Independent Audit Report where GTAA received an un-modified opinion, the highest level of achievement. Pages 3-15 contains the Management Discussion and Analysis, a narrative written by management providing information on activities and rationale for changes. He continued with pages 16-19, the basic financial statements. Pages 20-38 include notes to the financials, providing additional information on amounts and details contained within the financial statements and additional description of the accounting policies used by the Association. Mr. Long referenced the letter at the end of the financial packet that includes any

Attachment A

material weaknesses and any significant deficiencies. He noted there were no material weaknesses or internal controls necessary. All findings from the previous year’s letter were corrected and changes implemented. Mr. Swant called for the approval of the financial statements. A motion to accept and approve the statements was called and seconded; all we in favor. Financial statements were approved.

Dr. Reggie DesRoches provided the Committee on Compliance and Equity report. He referenced Attachment C/the minutes from the Committee’s September 19th meeting. Dr. DesRoches shared that the primary discussion at the recent ACC Fall Meetings centered around time demands. He noted the proposals regarding the student-athlete time demands will be available November 1st and will initially address the following: an established one week period from the conclusion of the season where no mandatory athletic activities occur; an additional 14 days off during the academic year where no mandatory athletic events occur; an established policy mandating a full eight-hour period during the night without mandatory athletic activities; and an established full day off per week during the competitive season that addresses the impact of travel time. Dr. DesRoches handed the floor to Ms. Shoshanna Engel to discuss the 2016-2017 final NCAA violations report. She reminded the Board that Georgia Tech will roll off NCAA probation in July 2017 and the Committee will review previous deficiencies and current practices to ensure a sound compliance program. The GTAA hired Lance Markos as the new Assistant Athletic Director for Compliance. Ms. Engel and Mr. Markos will move forward in 2017 with initial priorities to analyze rules education and monitoring systems.

President Peterson asked Mr. Doug Allvine to share with the Board his recent student-athlete career development efforts. Mr. Allvine, in collaboration with the Center for Career Development and Discovery (C2D2), have presented student-athletes with several opportunities to be involved in preparation for post-graduation activities. These opportunities include; creating business cards, resume critiques, and a Career Fair Workshop. Mr. Allvine explained these efforts serve as preparation for the Student-Athlete Career Fair that will take place on Tuesday, October 18th, in the Edge Building lobby.

Mr. Paul Griffin, Interim Athletic Director, provided the Athletic Director’s report. He commented on the time demands proposal and the challenges that will follow with varying program needs. Mr. Griffin noted that the sport with the most class absences is also the sport with the highest grade point average, Men’s Golf. He continued with comments regarding the ACC Network, which will be fully implemented in 2019. The financial success of the network will solely depend on the number of outlets that pick up the network. Mr. Griffin noted that time demands and the ACC network dominated the fall ACC meetings. Mr. Griffin thanked the Board and the President for the opportunity and relayed his appreciation for the Athletic Association staff for their dedication and hard work during the transition.

President Peterson provided a brief update and introduction of the new Athletic Director, Todd Stansbury. He thanked those involved with the search committee, specifically thanking Al Trujillo as chair. Four sitting Division I athletic directors expressed interest in the position. Seven in-person interviews were conducted in Chicago over a three-day period followed by the narrowing of the pool to three finalists. The final interviews took place in Dallas, where Todd Stansbury was selected and then recommended for approval. The President informed the Board of Mr. Stansbury’s background and expressed his excitement for his return.

President Peterson closed his report by updating the Board on his recent appointment as Chair of the NCAA Board of Governors. He explained that following his appointment, a number of issues arose, including the decision to remove seven championships from North Carolina. The

Attachment A

removal was in direct response to discriminatory laws passed by the state of North Carolina earlier in the year. The ACC was also presented with similar issues resulting in the removal of all ACC Championships from neutral sites. The President continued to report on the recent creation of an NCAA Statement of Diversity. The statement was in response to a group that came forward encouraging the NCAA to institute the Rooney Rule. A Diversity Committee was created shortly thereafter, and a diversity statement issued. President Peterson informed the Board that Mark Emmert, the President of the NCAA, scheduled a campus visit for March 2017. He closed by commenting on Georgia Tech’s recent advance in several nationwide rankings.

With no additional comments, the meeting was adjourned at 10:12 a.m.

MEETING

The meeting took place in the Griffin Conference Room and began at 3:08 pm.

Welcome and Introductions

Mr. Swant welcomed the committee and asked Mr. Lewis to review the agenda items.

FY17 Year-to-Date Financial Performance Review

Mr. Lewis noted that GTAA is projected to finish the fiscal year with a $2.4 million deficit which is in line with the original budget. He then provided explanations for the budget variances in the primary revenue and expense line items. The items of merit are detailed below:

 The ACC will distribute over $320,000 in unbudgeted funding to GTAA for Clemson’s participation in the College Football Playoff.

 Tickets sales and TECH Fund revenues are expected to meet budget for both Football and Men’s Basketball at the end of the fiscal year.

 Personnel budget will be exceeded due to bowl game bonuses and merit increases provided to the Football coaching and support staffs (effective January 1, 2017). Funding GTAA also added an Associate AD to the AT Fund that will assist in aligning TECH Fund, Aspire/Ticket Sales, and AT Annual Fund revenue generation strategies.

 No specific items have been identified at this time, but an additional $250,000 in repairs and maintenance is projected for minor projects and/or purchases within the Edge/Rice Building to address priorities of the new Athletic Director.

Mr. Lewis noted that GTAA is conducting mid-year budget reviews with each sports program and administrative department to examine expenditures in more detail. This enables GTAA to determine savings opportunities and address any funding issues prior to the end of the year. A more accurate expense projection will be available in the next meeting.

Mr. Lewis then provided a detailed review of the potential revenue related to Atlanta United competing at Bobby Dodd Stadium for the 2017 season. Ticket sales and attendance will be the drivers, but GTAA anticipates netting over $1 million from the partnership.

FY18 Zero-Based Budget Preparation

Mr. Lewis indicated that the FY17 zero-based budget process had begun and noted that this was the 3rd year of zero-based budgeting. He provided the timeline for review and the committee discussed the role of zero-based budgeting. Mr. Lewis noted that the process aids in prioritizing resources and promotes fiscal responsibility amongst the coaches and staff.

Other Items

Mr. Stansbury provided a status update on the apparel RFP and Mr. Swant noted that there may be an opportunity to further engage the Institute in the apparel discussion. Attachment B

Mr. Stansbury then updated the committee on his short and long term facility projects which included, but were not limited to Russ Chandler Stadium (Phase 2), Football Locker Room and Recruiting Area/Lobby, Edge/Rice Building. Mr. Stansbury emphasized two major priorities as it related to our capital projects and fundraising – (1) tell the story of our student-athletes (former and current), and (2) athletic innovation.

Mr. Lewis noted that GTAA’s work with Institute Finance and Bank of America/Merrill Lynch representatives to conduct a detailed review of the Long Term Growth Fund (quasi-endowment) is progressing well. The review will provide management with a strong financial model as GTAA looks to develop appropriate bond refinancing strategies in the coming years, help shape a funding strategy for future capital improvements, and assist in telling the story of the current debt situation.

Closing

The meeting adjourned at 4:13 p.m.

Changes made to football recruiting proposal regarding signing period, official visits

January 18, 2017 3:39pmMichelle Brutlag Hosick

Student-athletes in Division I will be able to more easily pursue internships and study abroad opportunities after the Division I Council on Wednesday adopted new legislation providing additional flexibility in eligibility rules.

“We as a division are working together to support our student-athletes and help them take advantage of the many opportunities available to them through our great colleges and universities,” said Council chair James J. Phillips, Northwestern University vice president for athletics and recreation. “This legislation, together with the changes proposed by the autonomy conferences and available to the entire division if adopted, will help students better balance their commitments to athletics with the other things college has to offer them.”

The new eligibility legislation extends the time students have to complete four years of eligibility if they pursue a degree-applicable internship or study abroad program during the regular school year. Students generally have five years to complete four years of eligibility, and with the new rules, that time spent in the

Attachment C internship or study abroad program is exempt from counting against the five-year period.

The change will be effective Aug. 1.

Council members also approved a measure that enhances the information the NCAA Eligibility Center provides to prospective student-athletes. In addition to drug testing and graduation rates information, recruits would receive information about the time commitments involved in participating in Division I sports. The Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee was instrumental in getting this legislation passed and creating a resource all schools can use to meet the requirements of the new rule.

The rule change emerged from student-athlete feedback indicating some felt unprepared for the time commitment required to participate in Division I sports. SAAC members advocated for the proposal and helped create informational material schools can use to fulfill the new requirement.

“SAAC wanted to put this piece of legislation in place to make sure that all prospective student- athletes are informed on what is expected of them when looking at a school, and can understand the time commitments when they get onto campus during their campus visits,” said Connor Donnelly, a golfer and marketing/sports management major at Sacred Heart University. Donnelly is also a member of the Division I Council and vice chair of the Division I SAAC. “SAAC feels as though the more information a student-athlete can get about their time commitments, the more these student-athletes can prepare and find success both in the classroom and in their sport.”

The measure will be effective Aug. 1.

A final measure creating a definition of required athletically related activities was tabled. That legislation describes activities that might be required of a student-athlete but do not count against the 20-hour-per-week limit on athletics activities.

Required athletically related activities include but would not be limited to:

Compliance meetings. Team promotional activities. Recruiting activities, including student host duties. Media activities. Fundraising events. Community service events. Team-building activities. Travel to and from away-from-home competition.

This new definition would help schools implement best practices espoused by the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. The Atlantic Coast, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and Southeastern conferences will vote on legislation that includes similar language later this week, and Council members decided to wait to see the outcome of that vote. The proposal will be revisited in April.

Football recruiting

The Council also modified a proposal that would change football recruiting rules, including creating flexibility to allow for earlier signing periods. The modifications were recommended by the Division I Football Oversight Committee.

Attachment C The Council maintained its support for a mid-December signing date that would last 72 hours and would coincide with the time junior college players can sign a National Letter of Intent. But members decided to withdraw a request for a separate 72-hour NLI signing period for football that would have started on the last Wednesday in June. The Collegiate Commissioners Association has authority over NLI signing periods.

The Council also agreed to another change to the proposal that would expand opportunities for football prospects to take official visits during their junior year of high school by permitting those expense-paid visits to occur from April 1 through the Sunday before the last Wednesday in June. The original proposal would have permitted those visits to occur from June 1 through the Saturday before the last Wednesday in June and from July 25 through July 31 after a football prospect’s junior year in high school.

In the first proposal, official visits could occur in conjunction with camps and clinics. The Council decided to eliminate that section of the proposal.

Official visit changes would be effective Aug. 1.

The Council will vote on the proposal in April.

The Council also elected Blake James, athletics director at the University of Miami (Florida), to serve as chair and Jean Lenti Ponsetto, athletics director at DePaul University, to serve as vice chair. The new terms will begin at the conclusion of the Council’s April meeting.

December signing date among changes DI Council could consider in April

January 17, 2017 10:37pmGreg Johnson

An early signing period in college football is one step closer to a vote.

The Division I Football Oversight Committee on Tuesday recommended modifications to its comprehensive recruiting package proposal at the NCAA Convention in Nashville, Tennessee, moving it closer to a final vote by the Division I Council. The Council could vote on it as early as April.

In the latest package, the Football Oversight Committee maintained its support for a mid-December signing date that would last 72 hours and coincides with the time junior college players can sign a National Letter of Intent. But the committee also recommended the Division I Council ask the Collegiate Commissioners Association, the group that oversees the NLI program, to not adopt a separate 72-hour NLI signing period for football that would have started on the last Wednesday in June.

The proposal would not change the traditional date for high school football prospects to sign, the first Wednesday in February.

Coaches and administrators have discussed creating an early signing period for years, and the Football Oversight Committee and the Division I Football Recruiting Ad Hoc Working Group studied the issue thoroughly, focusing their proposal on four areas: camps and clinics; revising the recruiting calendar; regulating employment of individuals associated with prospects; and FBS coaching limits.

Ultimately, oversight committee members believe they have developed a recruiting model that balances the interests of all involved.

“What we heard from the coaches at the American Football Coaches Association meetings that the June signing date was problematic,” said Bob Bowlsby, chair of the Division I Football Oversight Committee and commissioner of the Big 12 Conference. “We knew one of the charges to our committee was to open earlier access. We will continue to look for an earlier signing date than mid-December, but we will move ahead on the other parts of the process. This is a significant move forward in football recruiting. We think it is student- athlete-friendly, family-friendly and coach-friendly.”

Another tweak to the recruiting proposal would expand opportunities for football prospects to take official visits during their junior year of high school by permitting those expense-paid visits to occur from April 1 through the Sunday before the last Wednesday in June. The original proposal would have permitted those visits to occur from June 1 through the Saturday before the last Wednesday in June and from July 25 through July 31 after a football prospect’s junior year in high school.

The Academics subcommittee met on January 13, 2017, from 10 to 11 am in 104 Old C.E. Present: Doug Allvine, Chris Breen, John Brock, Whitney Burton, Shoshanna Engel, Reta Pikowsky, Jenny Singleton, John Tone. Absent: Paul Kohn, Nagela Nukuna, Colin Potts, Phyllis LaBaw

Allvine presented a report to the committee related to the performance of student-athletes, principally to graduation success rates and academic progress rates. Slides from the report are attached as appendix 1.

The Graduation Success Rate (GSR) is now at 87%. The rate measures four cohorts in a row over six years. The rate this year (covering 2006-2009) is the highest since the NCAA began tracking this metric in 2005. Most of the teams (77 %) have GSRs above the NCAA Division I average. Tone asked how the student athlete GSR compares to graduation rates for students at GT as a whole. The answer was not immediately available, but it appears from the GT Fact Book that the comparable six-year GSR over the four years covered was lower, at 82%. There is not a comparable rate for GT of the GSR. The FED Rate/IPEDS Rate would be closest.

Individualized graduation plans, previously less effective, according to Breen, are now working very well and are partly responsible for increasing graduation rates. Another factor is the new summer bridge program, JumpStartJackets, introducing student athletes to academics at GT.

The Academic Progress Rate (APR) is another metric, even more precise, over four years: The NCAA requires teams to reach 930 or above; all GT teams are at 960, and quite a few are at 1000. This data is made clear in slide 4 of the appendix.

Singleton asked how much student athletes practice during the week. Engel reported that NCAA limits practice to 20 hours a week for all sports, but that, in practice SAs spend more time than that when counting such things as travel, medical, and film time.

The committee heard about the Degree Completion Program, which began in 2008, and has been very successful, not only in getting professional athletes to return to GT to complete their degrees, but at the front end in recruiting student athletes to come the GT. The program is paid for in large part by professional leagues, in smaller part by the NCAA and GT.

The committee heard about and discussed the Total Person Program, which has a long history at Georgia Tech, but is undergoing renewal and rejuvenation. The new AD strongly supports the program as part of the overall effort to transition athletes to careers after graduation. Bi- weekly C2D2 presentations to student athletes are one aspect of the program that have proved effective.

Yours, John Tone
