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.Phil Haynes Jersey .

Colin Wilson had two goals and an assist, and Mike Fisher scored a goal and helped set up two others in the Predators 6-4 victory over the Red Wings on Monday night.MINNEAPOLIS -- New York Giants?wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.?said Monday night that he must do a better job of understanding that he is one of the NFLs most targeted players.After finishing with a career-low 23 receiving yards and earning a taunting penalty in the Giants 24-10 loss?to the Minnesota Vikings, Beckham said, Its just my fault.In a meandering question-and-answer session with reporters, Beckham suggested that he must accept blame, even in incidents in which others are involved.I just have to understand if I sneeze the wrong way, it will be a flag, he said. It will be a fine. If I tie my shoes the wrong way, it might be a fine or a flag. It is what it is. You have to understand that. As tough as it is to understand that for a 23-year-old who has been blessed with a lot that God has given to me -- an amazing amount of ability and amazing amount of everything -- it seems like its all working against you.But what are you going to do? You gonna back down, or you gonna stand up? Ive never been one to back down. Im going to stand up. Were going to work to get better.On Tuesday, he quoted a passage from Invictus, written by poet William Ernest Henley, on Twitter.Beckham was penalized for taunting with 6:22 remaining in the second quarter Monday. He had been exchanging verbal barbs with Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes for several plays when Rhodes hit Beckham out of bounds after a 4-yard catch. Referee Brad Allens crew did not penalize Rhodes for the late hit, but Beckham was penalized for taunting when he charged and bumped Rhodes.Beckham appeared to bump line judge Tom Symonette during the argument, but Alllen did not exercise his option to eject Beckham for the apparent contact.ddddddddddddhe wide receiver had a long conversation with Giants general manager Jerry Reese in the locker room after the game, according to ESPN Giants reporter Jordan Raanan.Giants quarterback Eli Manning expressed no sympathy afterward.Hes got to be aware, Manning said. People are looking for him. Hes got to play smart, and he cant afford to do anything there. Theyre going to call him. Hes brought that on himself, and hes got to realize that.Beckham has lost control of his emotions a number of times the past two seasons, most notably in matchups with cornerback Josh Norman, who was with the Carolina Panthers last season and now plays for the Washington Redskins.Beckham did not dispute that Rhodes late hit angered him. He said you have to protect yourself when players are diving at you out of bounds. He also said football is a mans sport and that Im not going to be out there just taking hits.But hell be able to control his emotions, he suggested, when he understands that its all against you.You have to know that, Beckham said. You have to understand it. Its never going to deter me from what I want to do. Its never going to deter us from the goals that we have set, my goals that I have set. Its not going to stop me. Its just going to make me have to work harder, smarter and just understand that its all against you. It is what it is. Whatever you want to call it, its against you. And you have to live with that.
