Congress mandated student access to files in 1974 with the passage of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, also known as the Buckley Amendment. The purpose of the law was twofold. First, to ensure that students would not be handicapped later in life by inaccurate records, the bill allowed students (and the parents of schoolchildren) to expunge erroneous material and to control third-party access to files.

The motion would have also set a monetary limit on the financial aid received by individuals in each sport...
...change in rules for the upcoming season is twofold: first, fullbacks can essentially play in the halfback position due to a new "forward offside" rule; second, on penalty corners, the opposing forward line must go back to the 50-yard-line-rather than the 25 while the corner is being taken...
