It is difficult to read the sports page without
seeing an article about a university being investigated or placed on
probation by the NCAA for NCAA rule violations, a student-athlete
being investigated or suspended for unethical conduct, academic fraud
or receipt of extra benefits in violation of NCAA rules, or a coach
or student-athlete suing the NCAA. So what is the NCAA, what are the
NCAA rules and who promulgated them? This course will cover the
specific NCAA rules concerning ethical conduct, amateurism,
recruiting, extra benefits and institutional control. These matters
will be discussed by citation to the specific NCAA rules and the use
of numerous NCAA reports on universities who violated these rules.
Additionally, this course will discuss numerous court decisions
involving the NCAA in the fields of antitrust, due process and
discrimination.
