These Division I schools will be allowed to develop their own policies concerning hiring, team sizes, transfers and a number of other key issues.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal has been sent to Division I schools who will now have to review the same and decide if they want to accept the new proposal. Should they decide to move forward with the new proposal, they will then be able sign image, name and likeness deals with their student athletes.<\/p>\n<h2>New Policy In Best Interests Of Schools-Athletes<\/h2>\n<p>Baker has already discussed the proposal with some of the top level athletic directors in the country and the response has been positive. <\/p>\n<p>In a statement, Baker said <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It is time for us &#8212; the NCAA &#8212; to offer our own forward-looking framework. This framework must sustain the best elements of the student-athlete experience for all student-athletes, build on the financial and organizational investments that have positively changed the trajectory of women&#8217;s sports, and enhance the athletic and academic experience for student-athletes who attend the highest resourced colleges and universities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The proposal has not indicated a timeframe as to when Division I schools will have to make their decision.
