Return Reference Explanation
Part I, Line 2: The Big Ten Conference acts as an intermediary and collects cash receipts on behalf of the member schools from television contracts, bowl games, football championship games, and basketball tournaments, and remits such amounts to member schools. Since it is a pass-through organization, rather than grant giving, the Big Ten Conference does not attach parameters to or require reporting on how the funds are utilized. The monies can be used at the member schools' discretion to pursue their independent missions. The Council of Presidents/Chancellors approved the allocation of $31,669 to each university toward the creation of internship opportunities earmarked to promote diversity in intercollegiate athletics. The use of these funds is at the discretion of each institution; however the funds must be used to create new internship opportunities. The goal of the program is to provide the intern exposure and experience to athletic administration that could prepare the individual for an entry-level administration position in college athletics.
