ILC Recommends Special Voting Procedures For 2023 Convention   The Interpretations and Legislation Committee (ILC) is recommending alternative voting methods to be implemented at the 2023 NCAA Convention in San Antonio. The ILC is requesting that the Management Council sponsor a resolution to permit a special rule of order that would establish a two-step voting process on Proposals 2-4 and 2-5 that provide an alternative to the existing Bylaw 17 playings seasons structure. The committee is concerned that "Without this alternative voting method, the membership would focus on procedural motions to determine which of the proposals would be voted on first which would not include a debate on the merits of the proposals." The ILC also is recommending that the Management Council (MC) sponsor an amendment to Proposal 2-9 that students on both the Management and Presidents Councils not satisfy the conference representation requirement. The rationale is that the councils will be stronger if they maintain both the conference and the student voice. Elsewhere Recommends that the MC approve in concept noncontroversial legislation establishing roll call voting as the default voting option for convention proposals.   Recommends that the MC support the proposal on Playing Season - Acclimatization. >> Continue Reading A MESSAGE FROM HUDL/BLUEFRAME TECHNOLOGY   Ready to stream like a pro this season?

The Maroons topped the strongest field this year at the Augustana Interregional Invitational this past weekend. Chicago’s mid-range depth was able to trump the low stick that Aubrie Fisher gave still-No. 2 Wartburg.
