Areas of Autonomy, What Do They Mean

+

"The N.C.A.A.’s Division I board of directors voted to authorize a new governance body for the so-called Big 5 conferences to make rules within 11 "areas of autonomy." Some of the language in the proposal is vague — most likely on purpose, to maximize wiggle room. If an issue does not appear below — several important ones do not, including transfers and the number of scholarships per team — it would have to be made a new area of autonomy with the approval of not only the Big 5 but also the Division I board of directors." - NYT.com
