State University — that wants to change athletic conferences will have to [URL='https://www.wralsportsfan.com/unc-system-president-board-could-stop-unc-nc-state-from-changing-conferences/21244582/']get approval from the system president and the board[/URL] under a policy change approved by a board committee Wednesday. The change must be approved by the full 24-member Board of Governors before it goes into effect. The change will appear on the consent agenda at the board's Feb. 28-29 meeting. The University Governance committee approved the move Wednesday. "The purpose of this notice is to provide the President the opportunity to weigh in on the potential impacts of the agreement, including those that may impact the financial health of the intercollegiate athletic program, contract risk or legal risk associated with that agreement," Kellie Hunt Blue, chair of the university governance committee, told the board Thursday. "The amendments also provide the Board of Governors with an opportunity to review any agreements and financial plans with legal counsel so that they may inform a constituent institution of any potential legal risk." <- [/QUOTE]
