An innovative idea. produced and implemented by members of the Minnesota State University, Mankato Department of Athletics during the course of the 2009-10 basketball season, has been adopted by the NCAA.
A story regarding MSU's
Don't Cross the Line tape appears in the latest issue of
NCAA Champion magazine and is available online
here.
The story on the tape, authored by the NCAA's David Pickle, says "A clever idea developed at Minnesota State will be expanded into a Division II-wide reminder on the importance of maintaining a positive game environment.
The end product is a floor decal featuring the expression "Don't Cross the Line." This summer, every Division II member institution and conference will receive two copies of the 50-foot-long, 4-inch-wide strips. The decals may be applied as desired, although the length corresponds with the baseline on a basketball court."
