Reform measures for college athletics can be expected quickly, with ideas such as freshman ineligibility rules and higher admissions standards being considered, the Athletics Committee of the Vanderbilt Board of Trust was told during their fall meeting.
“These are some of the most aggressive and boldest set of reforms I’ve seen come in athletics for a long time,” said David Williams, vice chancellor for university affairs and athletics, general counsel and university secretary. Williams addressed the committee Nov. 10 at the Student Life Center. Also present was Chancellor Nicholas S. Zeppos.
Williams is a member of an NCAA committee that will recommend such reforms.
