Student-athletes in the Division I autonomy conferences would be guaranteed access to mental health services if legislation is adopted at the 2019 NCAA Convention in Orlando, Florida, later this month.
The Atlantic Coast, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and Southeastern conferences will consider legislative proposals for the year in their business session Thursday, Jan. 24, including whether to require schools to make mental health services and resources available to student-athletes.
The proposal is the latest move to improve the college experience for student-athletes and underscores the commitment to all aspects of student-athlete health. If adopted, the rule would require schools to make mental health services and resources available through the athletics department and/or the institution’s health services or counseling services department. In addition, schools must distribute mental health educational materials and resources, including a guide to the mental health services and resources available at the school and information regarding how to access them, to student-athletes throughout the year.
The proposal is consistent with the Interassociation Consensus: Mental Health Best Practices released in 2017.
The autonomy conferences also will vote on allowing team meetings during the week immediately after the season, which current legislation requires to be free of athletically related activities.
