The Voice of Hawai‘i

By william Douglas and James Kuhnhenn

Knight Ridder Newspapers(KRT)

WASHINGTON — On a sunny but chill winter day, in a capital city filled with celebrants, heavily armed police and barricaded streets, George W. Bush swore for the second time to discharge the duties of the presidency and then proclaimed an ambitious new foreign-policy doctrine as America’s global mission. Bush told tens of thousands of spectators before the west front of the U.S. Capitol that a “day of fire” — a veiled reference to Sept. 11, 2001 — had proved that oceans and borders are no longer enough to ensure America’s safety. Now, he said, the nation must work to expand freedom and end tyranny everywhere if our own liberties are to survive. “We are led, by events and com-mon sense, to one conclusion: The survival of liberty in our land increas-ingly depends on the success of lib-erty in other lands. The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world,” the presi-dent said. “Advancing these ideals is the mission that created our nation. ... Now it is the urgent requirement of our nation’s security, and the calling of our time.” Bush took care to stress that his expand-freedom doctrine doesn’t mean that America will impose its will on other nations by military

might. He also reached out to U.S. allies angered by his pre-emptive war against Iraq. “We honor your friend-ship, we rely on your counsel and we depend on your help,” he said. But he left no doubt about the global reach of his new doctrine, which echoed John F. Kennedy’s 1961 inaugural vow to “pay any price” to counter communism at the height of the Cold War. “So it is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institu-tions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world,” Bush said. The president’s second inaugural address highlighted a wintry day of celebration and protest amidst unprec-edented security, reflecting that it was the first inauguration since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. More than 6,000 law enforcement officers, 2,500 mili-tary personnel and countless Secret Service officers controlled the day. Police sharpshooters perched on office building rooftops. Bomb-sniffing dogs patrolled the streets and subway tunnels. Capitol Hill police cradled assault rifles. Helicopters whirred overhead. Two blocks from the parade route, at the corner of 7th and D Streets Northwest, a small group of apparent anarchists threw sticks, oranges and other objects at police. One man there was arrested for assault and police waded into the group firing pepper spray. Enthusiastic Bush supporters

braved cold weather to line up early at security checkpoints, hoping to get viewing sites for the inauguration and along the 1.7-mile parade route from the Capitol to the White House. They were joined by chanting protesters, even during the swearing-in ceremo-ny. As the president approached the end of his speech, a handful of pro-testers stood up. One large man in a brown overcoat began to boo loudly in a booming baritone. His voice was clearly audible to Bush. In response, the pro-Bush crowd chanted “U-S-A, U-S-A.” Police then moved in, pinned the protester’s arms behind him and took him away. The incident appeared to unsettle the president slightly, but he ended his speech without a flaw amid growing applause. Bush honored tradition by begin-ning his day at a prayer service at St. John’s Episcopal Church across Lafayette Square from the White House, where every president since James Madison has worshiped. There the Rev. Luis Leon seemingly set the tone for Bush’s later inaugural com-ments when he said America had “lost its known world” in the after-math of Sept. 11. “I want to invite you today ... (to) exercise your ministry and your vocation ... to help us overcome our fears,” Leon said. Bush’s 18-vehicle motorcade rolled to Capitol Hill after the service. There the president — clad in a dark suit and light blue tie

A taste for sustainabilityBy Nanci Wong

Ka Leo Contributing Writer

The Invisible Kingdom of Humanity (IKOH) is holding their first “Manafeast,” a “post-indus-trial indigenous unification bash/Vegetarian Luau to benefit Hawai‘i’s local-organic farms.” It will feature Ono-Pono’s vegetari-an food. The event will be held at Portlock Ocean View Mansion on Saturday, Jan. 22, 2005, from 4

p.m. until 10 p.m. Tickets are available for $25 pre-sale and $30 at the door. “I can’t reveal (Manafeast) now! It’s the most amazing thing and I can’t tell you about it,” said founder of Ono-Pono Gene Tamashiro about Manafeast, in the Honolulu Weekly’s “Ono Pono man and Sustainability Guru.” The amazing buzz about the University of Hawai‘i’s very own Ono-Pono eatery, located in the

Sustainability Courtyard, is that they’ve been selling out by 2 p.m. Should your schedule allow you to delight in the flavors, associate Kimmy Lowery assures that stop-ping by between 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. will leave your palate pleased. Combining their sell-out food with Gene Tamashiro’s impas-sioned zest and efforts in a sus-tainable Hawai‘i, this event promises to be good. IKOH and Ono-Pono both hope to energize

the sale of organic, hand-picked, seasonal, locally-grown Hawai‘i produce. “Help us inspire the movement for Hawai‘i Food Security,” says Alice Waters, a supporter of sustainable agricul-ture and owner of Berkley’s pop-ular “Chez Painsse” restaurant.

Hayes shares his jazz roots at Orvis Auditorium

By Stacy HaradaKa Leo Staff Writer

“It’s a real pleasure to be in Hawai‘i,” announced nationally-renowned jazz drummer Louis Hayes, a member of the Cannonball Legacy Band. “Not many (prominent jazz figures) have been able to come down to Hawai‘i and to the different islands, and I think that’s very important.” Along with the rest of the Cannonball Legacy Band, Hayes has been performing at jazz con-certs throughout the state. Their first O‘ahu performance will be at Orvis Auditorium today at 7:30 p.m. This is an incredible oppor-tunity for all jazz fans to meet a legend, as well as the chance to see, hear and experience a vibrant jazz band. Tickets for UHM and WCC students are only $10 with a stu-dent ID; $15 for UH faculty and staff, other students, military per-sonnel and seniors; and $20 for all others. Having rubbed elbows with household jazz names like John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley, Hayes is no stranger to the music scene. He’s been on the scene since 1956. His interest in music was clear to his parents even as a child living in Detroit, Michigan. “My father,” said Hayes, “he played piano and drums, while my mother sang. They were both really into music, so I started out at maybe the age of eight playing piano.” After a short period of time he began playing the drums, and from then he was hooked. “I developed a love affair for drums. And that’s how it all start-ed!” Hayes laughed. “Going to school and playing in the school band, and playing with my com-padres in Detroit, Michigan, and listening to the music on radio and records, ... that’s how I devel-oped a love affair of this art form, with jazz.” After turning professional at the age of eighteen, Hayes has created and participated in numer-ous bands, with his characteristic hard-hitting finesse and roaring good nature. Throughout the years he’s fine-tuned his signature style to perfection. “I developed my style listening to all (the) great drummers that came before me that I heard that I was aware of,” he said. “I’ve never tried to emulate anyone because that’s pretty much very difficult, but I listened and devel-oped my style pretty much listen-ing to piano players and saxo-phone players.”

Jayna Perry, a senior in sociology, tries out a free sample at Ono Pono, located in the Sustainability courtyard. Because the eatery regularly sells out by around 2 p.m., associate Kimmy lowery advises that patrons stop by between 10:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.

One of the most famous groups that he was a part of was the Cannonball Adderley Band. “Cannonball was such a marvelous person to be around and he played at such a high level, and we became very, very close,” said Hayes. “It was an incredible experience to play among such high-caliber musi-cians.” Years later, after band members had gone their separate ways, Hayes

wanted to re-create the feeling of the close and hard-hitting intensity of their original group. The result was the Cannonball Legacy Band. The idea behind the Legacy band is that members are free to pursue their own side interests and to be part of separate bands, while still being there for each other and playing in memory of the late Cannonball Adderley. When asked how being a jazz musician was rewarding, Hayes responded, “I think it’s a wonderful

thing to do something, to find some-thing in your life that you like to do and you can do well. Because if you like to do it that means it’s some-thing you’ll work at hard, and it makes you stand out as an individu-al. It has done those things for me, made me stand out as a person and given me structure in my life. And the opportunity to travel and see things that I wouldn’t have been able to see without being this per-son, Louis Hayes.”

reggae-ska Warsaw hits island scene

By Sabrina FavorsKa Leo Staff Writer

The band that performs 300 shows per year has come to Hawai‘i. Warsaw Poland Bros, known for their intense touring schedule, concludes a tour of Hawai‘i this weekend with perfor-mances in Honolulu and Kailua on O‘ahu, and Pa‘ia on Maui. For music-lovers unfamiliar with the band, “Hors G’lore” is a good album to start with, even though it was released in 1999. On the Web site for their record-ing label, Invisible Mass, it was called “one of the best Warsaw albums to date.” “Hors G’lore” epitomizes the band’s myriad of influences. Although they identify themselves as a ska band, with CDs titled “Battle Ska Galactica” and “Warska,” the tracks on “Hors G’lore” exhibit a variety of musi-cal genres including swing, reg-gae, pop and punk. The songs convey not only a diverse range of musical genres, but a large range of moods and

tempos as well. Some of the songs are slower and feel more relaxing, while others have a quicker, more upbeat pace. The first song, “Girlfriend Says,” illustrates the influence of reggae on the band. The reggae returns in “Love is Stronger.” accompanied by trumpets, and also in the last song, “Prostitutes Gone Wild (Live).” The reggae and ska influence permeates the entire album and can be found to varying degrees in almost every song. The music of “Higher and Higher” brings to mind the 1960s pop of The Beatles, while “Swing’s Back” and “Up Around the Mountain,” with the presence of trumpets, have a strong influ-ence of swing and blues. Chris Poland, aka Crix, chan-nels Sammy Davis Jr. with the vocals in “Swing’s Back,” pulling in an atmosphere of the lounge singer from around the 1950s. The salsa-like rhythm of “El Mocote” will have listeners tap-

hayes: cannonball legacy lives on

It seems that the University of Hawai‘i is once again sabotaging its own initiatives with inane bureaucratic policy. The latest event comes in reference to the Sustainability courtyard, and the partnerships entrusted therein. The purpose of the courtyard, and the Department of Sustainability in general, has been to provide a demonstrative example of what practices can be implemented to live in a way that is least harmful to the planet, the community and ourselves. When the Sustainability project was started, a partnership was formed with Ono Pono, the food service branch of the Invisible Kingdom of Humanity (IKOH), an organization dedicated to promot-ing sustainable living and commu-nities on the Hawaiian islands. Over the past year, Ono Pono has not only provided wholesome vege-tarian food (the only choice of its kind on campus), but has also employed a number of members of the UH community, provided dis-counts to those who reduce waste by providing their own bowls, and offered meals in exchange for vol-unteer work for those who do not have money. Ono Pono has also sponsored a weekly open mic and jam session, which has helped to form community and foster creative expression on campus. Now, Ono Pono is being told that UH policy requires that the

kiosk that they are occupying must go up for a yearly bid to be held today. In other words, their position on the campus, which did not exist before the partnership started a year ago, along with the right for Ono Pono to be on the university, is on sale to the highest bidder. After working hard to make a full revolu-tion around the sun, they are being told that the place in the communi-ty that took them a year to establish is being given to whomever can put the most dough in UH’s pockets. The winning bidder does not have to reach out to the community. The winning bidder does not have to support local farmers or organic agriculture. The winning bidder does not have to care about the future of humanity or the planet. The winning bidder simply has to provide vegetarian food (without any necessary provisions for veg-ans) and offer UH the most money. This amounts to the selling-off of what has been a directive force in the building of an eco-conscious community on campus; the trading of high ideals for cold hard cash. Sustainability is based on working together for the benefit of everyone involved, but this policy is burning bridges only to sustain the greed of what is supposed to be our institute of higher learning.

stood ramrod straight as a frail-look-ing Supreme Court Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist administered the 35-word oath of office. Rehnquist, 80, has thyroid can-cer and hasn’t appeared in public since October. He walked to the inau-gural platform with the help of a cane, and administered the oath with a raspy but strong voice. Later, at an inauguration luncheon in the Capitol’s Statuary Hall, the president thanked the ailing justice for his effort. “I want you to know how touched I was that chief justice came to administer the oath,” he said. “That was an incredibly moving part of the cere-mony.” Among the many lawmakers attending the inauguration was Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., who came within 60,000 votes in Ohio of win-ning the presidency in November. Thursday, he stood about 50 feet away from the rostrum waiting for the ceremonies to begin and dis-played an almost wistful smile as Bush took the oath. The president managed to keep his emotions in check this time, unlike at his 2001 inauguration. Then both he and his father, former President George H.W. Bush, wept. The two men, who affec-tionately call themselves “41” and “43” for their places in the presiden-tial lineup, simply shook hands Thursday. The day’s ceremonies were very much a Bush family affair. The presi-dent’s parents, his wife Laura, his twin daughters Jenna and Barbara and his brother Jeb, the governor of Florida, were among the large family clan that escorted the president to church.

In his address, while Bush didn’t mention Iraq specifically, he did boast that “tens of millions have achieved their freedom” because “we have acted” — a clear reference to his view of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, though strife remains dominant in both nations and their future is uncertain. As is traditional in inaugural addresses, the president salted his speech with religious references.He invoked Jewish and Christian scriptures and cited the Quran, the Muslim holy book, to emphasize that America’s ideal of freedom relies “on integrity, and tolerance towards oth-ers, and the rule of conscience in our own lives.” He stretched his theme of expanding freedom to wrap it around his ambitious domestic agenda, which he said would help Americans achieve “economic independence” and “build an ownership society. Bush hopes to overhaul Social Security by adding private investment accounts, to revamp the federal income tax and to extend his No Child Left Behind edu-cation program to high schools. “By making every citizen an agent of his or her own destiny, we will give our fellow Americans great-er freedom from want and fear, and make our society moreprosperous and just and equal,” he said. The president told lawmakers at their luncheon that he is ready to begin his second term. “I’m eager for the work,” he said. “I’m looking for-ward to it, and I hope you are, as well. I’m looking forward to putting my heart and soul into this job for four more years.”

not be awarded to another student-athlete for one year. Still, teams can lose no more than 10 percent of their scholarships at any time. The NCAA said nearly 31 per-cent of all Division I-A football teams currently fail to meet the APR, and within the next few weeks, the NCAA will send letters to all of its member schools about their APRs. In addition, the NCAA plans to make the APRs public in the future. The NCAA also will impose so-called “historical penalties” on teams that display continued prob-lems. Continued problems could mean recruiting restrictions, post-season bans and even jeopardize Division I membership status. “We’re really probably a year away from really getting a sense of what some of this will do for us,” said Mark Meleney, who directs Florida State’s athletic aca-demic support program and evalu-ates recruits’ academic potential. Still, it’s clear football coaches now have added reason to recruit athletes who can meet academic demands. “We’ve tried to be proactive in this thought,” Meleney said, “in anticipating what impact these rules may have on our population and working with our coaches to educate them to understand the importance for them to identify the best student-athletes they can.” The newest academic reforms have teeth for another reason, too. The NCAA already had made it more difficult for student-athletes to remain academically eligible. Beginning this fall, to remain eligible, all student-athletes must have completed 40 percent of their degree requirements after their first two years of college, 60 per-cent after their first three years and 80 percent after their first four years. That’s up from 25 percent, 50 percent and 75 percent, respec-tively. Karl Mooney, the University of Central Florida’s director of aca-demic services for student-ath-letes, noted that the 40-60-80 rule will make it even more difficult for student-athletes who were poorly prepared academically when they started college. In addition, the NCAA will allow six hours of remedial coursework to count toward stu-dent-athletes’ college degrees

instead of 12 hours, Mooney said. “It’s going to be a challenging time,” Mooney said. “It’ll be interesting to see who’s truly being held accountable when young people become ineligible — and they will become ineligi-ble.” With the 40-60-80 rule,

Mooney said he has heard anec-dotal evidence that more junior-college recruits increasingly are looking to transfer to Division II schools instead of Division I schools, because the continuing-eligibility standards will not be as stringent in Division II. The NCAA has other new aca-demic regulations in place, too. Starting Aug. 1, all freshmen who enroll in Division I colleges must have completed 14 core high-school courses — in the areas of English, math and natural or physical science. Previously, 13 core courses were required. Most college academic advisers and high-school football coaches said they do not regard the extra core course as a significant bur-den. But what concerns them is that, starting Aug. 1, 2008, high-school graduates must have com-pleted 16 core courses to become eligible for college sports. The 16 required core courses are four years of English; three years of math (at Algebra I or above); two years of natural or physical science; one extra year of English, math or science; two years of social science; and four years of extra courses in English, math, science, a foreign language, non-doctrinal religion or philoso-phy.

Academics: NCAA to implement new grade-point average scale

Bush: Four more years

“Hopefully, it’ll kick in, the

importance of it. Sadly for most of them, it starts to

kick in during their junior year.”

— David Wilson, football coach at Lincoln High

in Tallahassee, Fla.

Like most high-school foot-ball coaches, Edgewater’s Bill Gierke stressed students need to start planning to take 16 core courses at least as early as their freshman year of high school. “From our standpoint in high school, we’re just trying to do the best we can because we don’t have a captive audience, because they’re here for only eight or nine hours a day,” Gierke said. “It’s something you have to stay up on.” Starting this upcoming aca-demic year, too, the NCAA will put into effect a sliding scale for freshman eligibility that places more emphasis on grade-point averages in core classes and less emphasis on standardized test scores. It’s just another reason for high-school coaches and guid-ance counselors to speak to youngsters as early as possible. “Most of them don’t even know how to compute a GPA,” Wilson said. “Most of them don’t know what a core class is.” “Hopefully, it’ll kick in, the importance of it. Sadly for most of them, it starts to kick in dur-ing their junior year. If they’ve got a good family support sys-tem at home, usually it’ll kick in during their sophomore year. If they don’t have a good family support system at home, usually it’ll kick in during their 11th-grade year.”

ping their feet. “Gangster” is a combination of different genres, starting off with a riff that sounds as if it was pulled from a 1950s or 60s beach movie, but it quick-ly shifts to a Smash Mouth-like style from their album, “Fush Yu Mang.” There are a few tracks, such as “Percosex” in the beginning, which are unnecessary. In the liner notes, Chris Poland explains that he thought it helped set the mood, but that’s difficult to do with an album whose style shifts with each song. “Percosex” is only a few seconds long and is difficult to understand. However, since it is so short, it’s easily overlooked and doesn’t detract from enjoying the rest of the album.

Also uneccessary is the start of track 17, “Voice Mail Part One.” It sounds like answering machine messages from fans and people associated with the band set to a simple background of mellow techno music. The track is tollerable if you’re working on something else and only half pay-ing attention. But when you stop to really listen to the words, “Voice Mail Part One” is too long to be entertaining. For music aficionados, the wide variety of styles may be appealing. For others, the diversi-ty of Warsaw and their CD may be undesired, because they may enjoy swing, but dislike the sound similar to that of bands such as No Doubt, who Warsaw Poland Bros. have toured with in the past. It is difficult to place “Hors

G’lore” into one genre of music because of these various influ-ences, but fans of ska music and reggae ought to enjoy the majori-ty of the tracks.

Plans made to revive Greek life

Warsaw: Band brings eclectic mix

By Justin HahnKa Leo Contributing Writer

In recent years, the enrollment and popularity of fraternities at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa has dwindled to record lows, with little more than 30 active members among the three fraternities and three sororities. But for fraternity members, it is a life-changing experience. “This is one of the most important things you’ll ever do,” said Bill Tobin, an alumni of the Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) fraternity at UHM. Tobin, who was president of the TKE chapter for two years in the ‘90s, is now a business owner and community leader. “I own Tiki’s grill and bar in Waikiki,” Tobin said. “I think from being a president of a frater-nity, I learned more about running a business than (from) most of my business classes. Not to say any-thing bad about the classes I took, but I got a lot more skills I can use in life from being in a frater-nity than those (the classes).” There has been a push among the extinct fraternities to renew membership and revive the “Greek” experience. “We’re just trying to get out there and recruit,” said Michael Ray, Rush Chair for Kappa Sigma, a new fraternity to cam-pus. “People, I don’t know, they just seemed to forget about frats. We need to remind them that we’re here.” To further that aim, a Greek Council, a collection of represen-tatives from the six sororities and fraternities at UH Manoa, met Tuesday night to discuss and organize future Greek events. On the agenda were old favorites and new twists on the fraternal idea. A barbecue was planned for the third weekend in February, a toga party for the first week of March, and a fundraiser in the middle of March at Ocean’s Night Club. Kappa Epsilon Omega (KEO), the only fraternity with a house, still holds regular parties as the

classic fraternities did. “We like to party,” said Ed Arasato, a KEO brother at the Greek council. “But our focuses are still on studying and good work in the communi-ty.” But it isn’t all fellowship and connections. And fraternity mem-bership comes with a price, usual-ly about $200 - $500, with an additional yearly fee thereafter. What pledging for a fraternity does not entail is hazing. “We have a strict non-hazing policy,” Tobin said. “We want guys who are of good character, and people who do that aren’t the kind of guy we’re interested in.”

Warriors lead the charge again UH Cheer best in 15 years

Ka Leo Staff

The University of Hawai‘i cheer squad came in third place at the 2005 National College Cheerleading Championships held last weekend in Orlando, Fla. Kentucky won the title for the second-straight year, while Tennessee took second. The ‘Bows performed their rou-tine without any drops, though many other squads faltered in the 16-team, Division IA finals. “We performed our opening perfectly — we had no dropped stunts or pyramids, and the crowd really got into the ‘cheer’ portion of our routine,” UH head coach Mike Baker said. “This team was determined to hit it with everything they had, and they did. With the third-place finish, UH improved from last year, when the team finished 13th, and ties the highest showing ever for Hawai‘i in the 15 years of participating in the event. The competition will be aired on ESPN in March.

The fourth-ranked University of Hawai‘i men’s volleyball team swept the Cal State Northridge squad 30-23, 31-29, 30-19 Wednesday night. Matt Bender and Pedro Azenha from the Warriors led all scorers with 13 kills apiece as the Warriors opened Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) play in front of a crowd of 2,251 in the Stan Sheriff Center. After UH took Game 1, 30-23, the Matadors’ sloppy night at the ser-vice line started to take its toll on the No. 6 squad. With both sides hitting well, UH at .419 and CSUN at .410, it came down to hitting errors. “They had a very off night serv-ing,” said Bender. With Game 2 containing 27 ties and 8 lead changes, CSUN’s 21 total service errors proved to be the key factor to the seesaw battle that gave the Warriors the two-game lead

heading into the break. Game 3 opened with Azenha flaunting his Warrior muscle, setting the tone for a dominating game that saw the Warriors take an early 7-1 lead. The Warriors found themselves with a comfortable 10-point lead for most of the remainder of the game. Warrior middle blocker Mauli‘a La Barre sealed the match with a kill to finish the Matadors 30-19. La Barre finished with a team-high five blocks. The duo of Azenha and

Bender com-bined for 3 ser-vice aces and 26 kills. CSUN star middle blocker Brain Waite fin-ished the night with 10 kills, 6 blocks but com-mitted 8 service

errors. The Warriors improve their record to 3-1 overall and 1-0 in the MPSF. “They will be back,” said Bender of the Matadors. The two teams will butt heads again tonight at the Stan Sheriff Center in what promises to be anoth-er competitive conference match. “It’s always more difficult the second time,” Bender said.

Athletes pushed to make the grade“APR,” roughly equivalent to a 50 percent graduation rate over a five-year span. The APR will be based on the number of student-athletes on each team who remain eligible and return to campus full time each term. There also will be a longer-term graduation success rate. Teams that fall below the 50 percent threshold will lose schol-arships when academically ineligi-ble student-athletes leave the school. Each lost scholarship can-

not be awarded to another student-athlete for one year. Still, teams can lose no more than 10 percent of their scholarships at any time. The NCAA said nearly 31 per-cent of all Division I-A football teams currently fail to meet the APR, and within the next few weeks, the NCAA will send letters to all of its member schools about their APRs. In addition, the NCAA plans to make the APRs public in

ORLANDO, Fla. (KRT) — There was a time — as recently as 20 years ago — when college coaches in search of talented foot-ball players would walk into David Wilson’s office and not even ask about a potential recruit’s grades. These days, it’s a much differ-ent story. Wilson, the football coach at powerhouse Lincoln High in Tallahassee, Fla., now asks juniors to sign transcript waiver forms. That allows the college coaches who visit each May to see how potential recruits perform in the classroom. “I would just say that there’s a greater emphasis on academics,” Wilson said. That emphasis undoubtedly will grow even more in the months and years ahead, now that the NCAA has approved a land-mark academic-reform package. The legislation empowers the

NCAA eventually to strip scholar-ships from teams that underper-form academically. “These measures will change the culture of college sports,” NCAA President Myles Brand predicted during his recent State of the Association speech.

“Success as a student as well as an athlete, simply, is the only acceptable standard for the future in college sports.” Beginning in December, each Division I men’s and women’s sports team must meet the Academic Progress Rate or
