It’s an incredibly positive working environment and we all have a common goal of improving refereeing. “Over the last five years in particular we have made huge strides in terms of our accuracy, fitness and professionalism. “The current Select Group are the best referees this country has ever produced and I am thrilled that I not only get the chance to continue working with them but also the opportunity to help develop the next generation of Select Group officials.” Howard Webb officiated the 2010 World Cup final. Credit: PA Webb’s career reached a peak in 2010 when he became the first person to referee the Champions League final and the World Cup final in the same year. He also refereed at Euro 2008 and Euro 2012, and was widely-praised for his performances at the World Cup in Brazil.
NCAA approves Division I autonomy proposal for Power Five conferences; what does it mean? – College Football – SI.com
But this is not a new problem. As SI.com’s Ben Glicksman reported from a Big 12 forum in New York on Wednesday, Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsbyhit the nail on the head when he said the Power Five needed to start changing what they could change. The rules and the changes that might be made are an attempt to be permissive, but theyre also intended to take into account the fact that those 65 [power-conference] schools are largely the face of what most people know as college athletics, Bowlsby said. I think we got to a place where we just believe that there was a need for us to perhaps be a little less egalitarian, a little less magnanimous of the 350 schools and spend a little time worrying about the most severe issues that are troubling our schools among the 65. We’ve already seen examples of the NCAA’s moneymakers taking matters into their own hands when it comes to student-athlete benefits. USC announced in June that it would provide four-year scholarships to scholarship players on the football team and men’s and women’s basketball teams. In April the NCAA’s Legislative Council voted to allow unlimited meals and snacks for Division I student-athletes.
