The NFL’s competition committee has crafted a proposal that will require each team’s senior management executive to report on- and off-field violations by their own club or other teams.
The proposal, expected to be approved by owners at their annual spring meetings March 30-April 2 in Palm Beach, Fla., was written in response to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell’s recent memo to the committee to strengthen policy in the wake of the Spygate controversy that has tarnished the league’s image.
Under the proposal, any violation discovered by any team employee is to be reported to the league office. Each year, the team’s lead executive will sign an affidavit testifying that his club conformed to the league’s rules and regulations.
(And yes, there really is a place called Truth or Consequences!)
