The proposals originated from a report drafted by the conferences student-advisory committee.In July, the Power Five conferences put forth several concepts to reduce the demands on athletes. The concepts will form a proposal for NCAA legislation that the autonomy conferences plan to vote on in January.The MAC decided not to wait. MAC schools can implement the proposals immediately, but they are mandatory for the 2017-18 school year.This will be a topic of conversation in January, MAC commissioner Jon Steinbrecher said.
