The NCAA and their sports (including softball) could look a lot different in the coming years. With the announcement of NCAA President Mark Emmert stepping down within the next year on Tuesday, the NCAA Transformation Committee announced some possible future legislation that could radically change the landscape of college sports.
Some of those possible changes include:
-Eliminating scholarship caps on sports that offer only partial scholarships
-Lifting the limitation on the number of coaches per team-
Expanding direct payments from schools to athletes-
Reconfiguring recruiting calendars to eliminate dead and quite periods
-Implementing closed periods in the NCAA transfer portal
