Case Study Of Evaluating Utsa's NCAA Compliance

Decent Essays
Bylaw 22.2.1.2(e) of the NCAA Division I Manual requiring every Division I institution to have its rules-compliance program evaluated every four years was rendered null and void when the Athletics Certification Program was discontinued. The Athletics Certification Program has been replaced with the Institutional Performance Program. The Committee on Institutional Performance has recommended the practice of compliance reviews to continue. While in transition, The Office of Auditing and Consulting Services will continue the standard practice of rotating reviews of the different compliance areas to evaluate UTSA’s NCAA Compliance Program.

    In most cases when there is a set of rules, the rules usually end up being broken or a controversy arises through them more often than not. In the NCAA's situation, there have been instances in which problems with their rules have led to insufficient results. For example, former UCLA bas-ketball player Ed O'Bannon filed his own lawsuit against the NCAA (McEldowney 3). The law-suit he had filed was for illegally using his own and other athletes’ pictures commercially at the will of the NCAA without permission (Malone 2). The main sports that it had covered were for basketball and football, but stretched to cover the entirety of college athletes.…

    Individual Analysis: ACCJC Background Reviewing recent reports surrounding the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges (ACCJC) reveals that there are many issues that have been proposed in regard to the efficiency and efficacy of their accreditation processes (CITE). For this reason, many feel that the ACCJC is not meeting their obligation to maintain institutional quality. In the following sections, I will discuss what issues specifically the ACCJC is having in terms of maintenance of institutional quality and what recommendations have been suggested for the commission to improve it’s accreditation processes. These recommendations were derived—in some cases—by comparing the ACCJC to other accrediting commissions and modeling…

    The University of Southern California football program is in shambles; right now trying to pick up the pieces after having to fire coach Steve Sarkisian who has been battling alcohol abuse problems. It's something that had to be done because it's been reported he was drunk on the sidelines during games and at school gatherings so I don't blame them for this at all. However, I do question athletic director Pat Haden and how he's running the football program at this time because over the past few years since Pete Carroll left for the Seahawks it's been a revolving door for USC at the coaching position. It takes time to rebuild college programs and I don't think Haden has given the coaches in recent times a chance to implement…

    BUZZY--UNC PRESENTATION— What we have begun to learn within all of these scandals is that big schools find loopholes for their student-athletes to boost their academics instead of these student-athletes fulfilling their academic requirements on their own. Regardless of what sport you play there are ways around going to class and getting good marks, so that you can focus more of your time towards the athletic side of your student athlete life. The University of North Carolina Chapel-Hill has been under investigation for certain scandals dating back to the early '90s. The biggest scandal from UNC has to do with student-athletes taking questionable classes to boost their GPA which allowed them to remain eligible for their sport.…

    Penn State Scandal Essay

    • 504 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Even though both universities are involved in sexual assault scandals, when comparing both Penn State and Baylor university's cases I came to the conclusion that there should be a difference in disciplinary action. Reviewing Penn State scandal, on November 4, 2011, a grand jury report was released containing testimony that former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky sexually abused eight young boys over a period of at least 15 years. On July 23, 2012, The NCAA announces a $60 million fine against Penn State and bans the team from the post season for four years. Additionally, the school must vacate all wins from 1998-2011, and will lose 20 football scholarships a year for four seasons. It is unfair that the victims had ,for many year, been ignored by the school and the law, but the action taken by NCAA at the time were over the line.…

    In his memoir entitled Unsportsmanlike Conduct, the first full time executive director of the NCAA, Walter Byers, observed that "Amateurism is not a moral issue; it is an economic camouflage for monopoly practice."26 In arguing for college athletes to be paid, tennis legend and civil rights advocate Billie Jean King asserted that the NCAA’s concept of amateurism symbolized a power struggle between college sport officials and athletes.27 Part of that control is exercised through the manipulation of the language the NCAA uses to describe it.28 As Kevin Satterlee, vice president and legal counsel at Boise State University remarked at a conference examining the proper role of sports in higher education at the Santa Clara University Institute of…

    I believe college athletics would most benefit from an analysis of conscience because many problems arise from or are related to this aspect of college life. From my knowledge, there have been many occasions in which athletes did not have to endure the same consequences as non-athlete students might endure due to the college placing a greater importance on improving and/or maintaining their athletic performances, with the goal of being the best at the collegiate level. The one issue that unfortunately comes to mind is sexual violence on college campuses. This can also relate to the alcohol culture that is seen on college campuses, as alcohol and binge-drinking increases sexual violence. On another note, the pressures that some colleges place…

    NCAA Death Penalty Essay

    • 472 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The death penalty, the banishment of a school’s athletic program from competing in a sport for a single year, is the most severe punishment outside of expulsions that NCAA can levy. The death penalty is utilized only if a school has committed two major violations in the previous five years and the NCAA deems it necessary to impose dire consequences upon the school in order to set an example. (McNabb, 2012) The NCAA sees the use of the death penalty as an action of last resort and as such it has only been used on five programs: 1952-53 University of Kentucky basketball, 1973-75 University of Louisiana-Lafayette basketball, 1987 Southern Methodist University (SMU) football, 2003-06 Morehouse College soccer and 2005-07 MacMurray College men’s tennis.…

    The Importance Of Title IX

    Title IX, published and promoted by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, determines whether universities have the ability to properly engage in equal opportunity activities that embraces the idea of bringing equality to the underrepresented gender. Through the Title IX regulation, an institution who sponsors an athletic program, must provide equal opportunities and accommodations for both men and women. The three-part test associated with Title IX essentially determines whether a university is compliant with its ideology and establishes the institution with three means of abiding by its participation prerequisites. The three parts include; providing equal participation opportunities for male and female students that correlates…
