Official Policy Positions
Position papers represent TDGEF’s official stance on an issue in intercollegiate athletics. Position statements are created on an ‘as needed’ basis usually in reaction to multiple media or public requests, in response to recurring events, and/or as part of proactive education and media campaigns focused on needed intercollegiate athletics governance association reforms.

Issues
The Drake Group collects articles consistent with the TDGEF’s mission that address the major issues facing intercollegiate athletics. This library is a COLLECTION BY TOPIC of all Drake Group content so that readers can search by topic rather than purpose.

Editorials and Opinions
Members of The Drake Group, The Drake Group Education Fund, and their respective Advisory Councils are frequently called upon to produce editorials, blogs, or opinion pieces.  If such writings are consistent with official TDG & TDGEF policy positions and deemed to contribute important information to the understanding of an intercollegiate athletics issue, they are selected to be displayed on the Drake website. The authors of such publications are responsible for the content of these articles.
