D3 proposals at the 2022 NCAA convention

Anyone know if this going to be picked up in the 2023 Convention

Expanded ability to practice without using a season of competition - allow student-athletes to participate in a full season of practice without using a season of competition if the athlete does not compete in any games.

I doubt this is going anywhere. Lots of schools are glad to be rid of redshirting and not excited about going back to it.

Every time the redshirting rule comes up it fails overwhelmingly. It keeps coming up now because of COVID impacts AND schools trying to retain students. I still don't think it will go anywhere.

The legislation for 2023 Convention is set. There is one twist with changing the number of weeks teams can practice to days - something COVID brought as a temporary change and everyone loves (something we talked about YEARS ago, but didn't think quite this far). There are TWO versions, so there is going to be a funky way of voting for the proposal - to assure the old version is ousted and one of the two is adopted. Basically, it's going to be like double-elimination.

Here is some about that voting method: https://www.ncaa.org/news/2022/10/26/media-center-diii-presidents-council-backs-alternative-voting-method-order-for-convention-proposals.aspx

I need to find the link with all the legislative items, but other than the "days" thing, there isn't anything of major significance as I remember it.
