Established in 1991, the award recognizes female student-athletes who have exhausted their eligibility and distinguished themselves in their community, in athletics and in academics throughout their college careers. There are a total of 577 nominations across all three NCAA Divisions, representing 23 sports. Conference offices will select up to two students from the nominations to move onto the next round (If two are chosen, one must be an international student-athlete or student-athlete of color.).  The Woman of the Year Selection Committee will then select 10 student-athletes from each division, determining the Top 30 honorees. Of the Top 30, the Woman of the Year Selection Committee will announce nine finalists, three from each NCAA division. The NCAA Committee on Women's Athletics will review the finalists and name the 2022 NCAA Woman of the Year. For the first time in the award's history, the Top 30 honorees will be celebrated and the Woman of the Year will be named at the NCAA Convention. The 2023 Convention will take place in January in San Antonio. >> Read More >> List of Nominees A MESSAGE FROM BLUEFRAME TECHNOLOGY   Did you know BlueFrame Technology has advanced integrations with top automated cameras like the Hudl Focus?

Baseball Proposes Action Clock Changes The NCAA Baseball Rules Committee recommended modifications to the 20-second action clock with runners on base.   All rule proposals must be approved by the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel, which is scheduled to discuss baseball proposals Aug. 11. The action clock proposal would take effect in the 2022-23 academic year. Under the proposal, with runners on base, a pitcher would be required to start the motion of throwing a pitch or making a pickoff throw to avoid violating the action clock. Pitchers would be allowed one step-off or fake throw to a base per batter to reset the clock. The committee recommended that all action clocks be visible on the field by Jan. 1, 2025 for all Division III games. Elsewhere: The committee proposed expanding umpires' use of video replay review.  Committee members recommended a minimum 3-foot fence or protective netting on the field side of dugouts. Starting with the 2023 season, celebratory props would not be allowed outside the dugout. Either by conference rule or mutual consent between the two teams, all extra innings (10th inning of a nine-inning game or eighth inning of a seven-inning doubleheader game) would start with a runner on second base. >> Quotable: "With this being a new rule the last couple of years, there have been some growing pains with it," said Doug Aiken, committee chair and associate athletics director at Chapman. "We had to see these things play out in real time. The committee wanted to take out the fake or feinting of throws because it has had a negative impact on the game." >> Continue Reading UPCOMING EVENTS 4.
