Question 7

This national governing body promotes its ability to help schools provide athletics "at a reasonable cost," assists members in identifying prospects through recruiting "showcase events," and promotes the concept of autonomy, which allows members to build programs "that best fits" a school, a process that is aided by "standardized eligibility rules for all student-athletes, limited bureaucracy and simple, sensible rules, (and) flexible, transparent financial aid rules."
