(#473) NCAA Division I Council Coordination Committee recommends eliminating CHL rule

The NCAA Division I council will meet next week (Tuesday and Wednesday), and the topic of CHL players becoming NCAA eligible is on their agenda.

According to emails obtained by College Hockey Insider, the NCAA Division I Council Coordination Committee authorized a review of student-athlete eligibility in June. The NCAA applied the review to men's hockey and skiing. The review centered on student-athletes' involvement with professional teams before their initial full-time enrollment.

The committee reviewed eligibility concepts to determine if any of those concepts should be considered for action during the October meeting. The committee recommended that the D-I council consider adopting emergency legislation during its meeting next week to eliminate the separate application of legislation in men's hockey and skiing.
