NCAA directors have competing bowl eligibility proposals

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- An NCAA oversight panel endorsed
a proposal to require football teams to win six games in
an
11-game season or seven in a 12-game season to be
eligible for postseason bowls.
The Football Study Oversight Committee's endorsement
Monday puts it at odds with the NCAA Division I
Management Council, which last week approved a
measure that would permit a team with just six wins in a
12-game season to go to a bowl.
The NCAA's Board of Directors is scheduled to consider
that proposal later this week.
The Football Study Oversight Committee includes eight
college presidents, a representative from the Bowl
Championship Series and other college and conference
representatives.
The panel said it did not concur with the proposal
approved
by the Management Council. Instead, it endorsed a
recommendation from the NCAA's Division I Football
Certification Subcommittee.
The oversight panel also requested Monday that
legislation
be considered to allow a Division I-A school to count a
game against an I-AA opponent in a 12-game season for
bowl-eligibility purposes.
The panel also recommended that the NCAA hold off from
legislating a maximum number of bowl games, and
suggested that conferences use an "open market" concept
to negotiate their bowl opportunities.
