Someone at NCAA has too much time on his/her hands. Cross Country? I think Spring Cross Country training at most schools is known as being a member of the Track team. Which begs the question, if participation in off-season non-competitive training is detrimental to academic performance then what of participation in in-season competitive training for multiple sports?
NCAA already has positive support for academic performance in place... if performance in the classroom isn't maintained at a certain level, the player is declared academically ineligible to play. This proposed change appears to be based more on academic finances than academic performance.
