The NCAA will distribute millions of dollars in March Madness money to member schools as a reward for academic performance by athletes, starting in 2019-20.The NCAA announced Thursday that the Division I Board of Directors and NCAA Board of Governors approved the change to the revenue distribution model. The money will come from the NCAAs multimedia rights deal for the mens basketball tournament.The NCAA agreed to an eight-year extension of that contract with CBS and Turner this year. The agreement now runs through 2032 and ups payment to the NCAA to about $1.1 billion per year, an increase of about $330 million annually. For the first six years of the new distribution, 75 percent of the increase in rights fees will be used to create academic distribution units similar to the units that are earned by conferences based on team performance in the NCAA Division I mens basketball tournament.After the first six years, the NCAA said, the percentage of growth allocated to the academic unit will equal the percentage applied to all other distributions.The creation of an academic distribution unit underscores the NCAAs commitment to putting its money where its mission is -- with students, NCAA President Mark Emmert said in a statement.Academic units will be awarded to schools that earn:- An overall, single-year, all-sport Academic Progress Rate of 985 or higher. The APR is used to hold schools accountable for the academic progress of their student-athletes by measuring eligibility and retention of each player for each academic term.- An overall all-sport graduation rate of 90 percent or higher.- A federal graduation rate that is at least 13 percentage points higher than the federal graduation rate of the student body at that school.The academic unit revenue, like athletic performance units revenue, will be paid to a conference and distributed in a manner agreed upon by its members.University of Colorado Chancellor Philip DiStefano, who co-chaired the working group that conceived the academic unit, said the formula should allow for all schools, no matter the resources or admissions standards, to have a realistic chance of earning an academic distribution.DiStefano said any concern that incentivizing academic performance with payments could lead to misconduct or schools steering athletes toward less strenuous course work is outweighed by the benefits.When you do things that are bold, you certainly take a risk, DiStefano told the AP. I would look at it as were incentivizing institutions to do better and to make sure that more students are graduating.The amount of money in an academic unit is impossible to precisely project because it will be determined by how many schools qualify. The NCAA projects about 66 percent of the 349 Division I schools will qualify for an academic unit. Based on that, the NCAA estimates a unit could be worth $55,678 in 2019-20 and $111,356 the next year. By 2031-32, the NCAA projects each academic unit could be worth $541,368.The Knight Commission, a watchdog group that promotes reforms in college athletics, said it applauded the NCAAs decision to reward academic performance with revenue. The commission first called for a similar policy 15 years ago.It is critical to align the incentives in college sports with educational values, said former University System of Maryland Chancellor Brit Kirwan, who is the outgoing Knight Commission chairman.Ramogi Huma, Executive Director the National College Players Association advocacy group, said the new revenue distribution is another way for the NCAA to avoid sending money directly to athletes.This wont help graduation rates because NCAA sports still turns a blind eye to its own studies showing players are forced to spend 40 hours per week or more in their sport alone, Huma said in an email to the AP. Instead, the players have called for a portion of new TV money to be put in an educational trust fund so players have resources and more incentives to complete their degree. Graduation rates would soar.Huma added the NCAAs plan would reward schools that already have high graduation rates.Either way, this money was going to go to the colleges which will, in turn, waste it as they have always done, he said.There are no restrictions on how the money can be used, but the conferences are being asked to keep track of it and the NCAA committee on academics will monitor the usage. DiStefano said the hope is the money will go back into academics.This is a first, DiStefano said. Weve not really incentivized with colleges and universities based upon academics. This is the first step. I think there are other steps we could certainly take. Belgium Soccer Jerseys .com) - Richie Incognito has reportedly been admitted to a psychiatric care unit in Arizona.

Mats Zuccarello and Derek Stepan scored shootout goals, and backup goalie Cam Talbot earned his second win in two nights as the Rangers shook off a late tying tally and beat the Maple Leafs 2-1 Monday night. Charlotte and Sasha Banks were determined to prove in their Hell in a Cell match on Sunday that anything the men could do in WWE, the women can do better.Lets just say they werent far off.In the first womens match of its kind in WWE history, and the first time a womens match closed a pay-per-view card, Charlotte regained the Raw womens championship in a brutal and thrilling classic that wont soon be forgotten.This wasnt just a great match for women, it was one of the top matches overall in 2016 and a blown spot or two (including a partially underwhelming finish) from perfection. It was also the latest chapter in arguably the top rivalry within WWE as the two superstars traded the belt for the fourth time since July 25.Both competitors put over the bitterness in their rivalry in very real and violent ways, constantly pushing the boundaries of whether the injuries they appeared to be sustaining were real or part of the story line.The match came to its conclusion shortly after Banks back gave out while attempting to powerbomb Charlotte through a table inside the ring. Charlotte regained her feet and twice threw Banks onto the table, which never broke, producing a somewhat awkward ending. Charlotte then connected on her Natural Selection finishing move to get the pin.The theme of Banks story line back injury, which was suffered at SummerSlam during their vicious (although often sloppy) match, played a central role from the very beginning Sunday.Following a pair of dramatic entrances that saw Charlotte carried to the ring on a throne and Banks being driven into her hometown arena via Escalade, both wrestlers stood in the ring as the cage was lowered. But Charlotte jumped the reigninng champion and threw her outside of the ring, which led to a brawl in the crowd.dddddddddddd.Charlotte then powerbombed Banks through the announcers table in an incredible spot before the match began. Banks stumbled around the outside of the cage, unable to stand because of her back. But as the medical team laid her onto a stretcher and the announcement was made that she was unable to continue -- meaning the belt would change hands to Charlotte -- Banks dramatically reinserted herself into the match.Charlotte further aggravated the injury by springboarding Sasha into the cage, causing her to land awkwardly on the back of her neck. Moments later, Charlotte landed a sidewalk slam onto a chair in the center of the ring.The physicality only continued leading up to the finish, which included a second blown spot as Charlotte was awkwardly pushed onto a table setup at ringside that didnt quite break as expected.Banks went on to score a near pinfall following a trio of suplexes she executed in honor of her late wrestling hero Eddie Guerrero. She honored Guerrero again seconds later with a five-star frog splash, but it still wasnt enough to secure the pin on Charlotte.The match set a new standard not only for womens pay-per-view matches, but for what can be expected between these two superstars within their rivalry. Banks raised her game to a higher level unseen since her NXT classics with Bayley, and Charlotte continued to show why shes one of the top overall superstars in pro wrestling.For full match recaps and ratings from WWE Hell In A Cell, click here.
