The NCAA Transformation Committee released a 40-page report meant to be considered by the Division I Board of Directors in next week's NCAA convention.
The whole report is here if you're interested in reading it.
The headline grabber is the recommendation that NCAA should consider expanding championship tournaments to include 25% of the sport's teams.
Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger has a pretty comprehensive look at some of the notable recommendations.

Some of the highlights:
Athlete benefits: injury-related medical coverage for two years after career and an ability to return to graduate within 10 years,
The committee recommends a review of the FBS attendance requirements to “establish more effective distinctions between the football subdivision.
The committee also recommends a review of (1) the revenue distribution model; (2) financial aid and roster size; (3) countable coaches and the definition of countable coaches; (4) the role of sports agents; and (5) the playing and practice seasons.
This is notable in that there were no actual recommendations on those topics. So scholarship limits are remaining the same for now.
