Case 6 National Collegiate Athletic Association Ethics and Compliance Program
Perhaps no sport at American colleges is as popular, or as lucrative, as college football. Col- lege football often has a significant impact on the school’s culture. This is especially true for the more successful and prolific football programs, such as Texas A&M or Notre Dame. Football has increasingly become a big money maker for many colleges, with a significant amount of sports revenue coming from their football programs. Within the past two years, the sports channel ESPN made deals with certain teams to gain rights to air more games than usual. Because of this influx of revenue, the duties of coaches have evolved beyond just coaching. In many ways, they became the face of the team. Programs that show positive returns have coaches working hard to fill seats on game day and encourage college alumni to donate to the school. The more successful the football team, the more visibility it is given in the media. This visibility leads to greater awareness of the college or university among the public, and schools with the best football programs can see a greater influx of applications. The collegiate football programs have an intangible influence within and outside their immediate surroundings. This is mainly seen in their fan base, composed of current students, alumni, staff, faculty, and local businesses. For example, when the University of Alabama won its 15th national championship, the victory was celebrated by an enormous crowd, fireworks, and a parade. Texas A&M University is one example of a football pro- gram that generates not only profits but also a sense of loyalty among its fans. Texas A&M is spending over $485 million to expand its Kyle Field stadium so that it will seat up to 102,500 spectators. Table 1 shows the value of some of the most successful college-football programs. These games also help local businesses generate more revenues. Because of the financial support and widespread influence of the football program, the players, coaches, and football administrators have to deal with a lot of pressure to fundraise, sell tickets, and win games. These pressures open up opportunities for mis- conduct to occur, and it is increasingly important that university administrators and football program officials directly acknowledge opportunities for misconduct. While the university is ultimately responsible for the operation of each department and the behav- ior of its employees, it can be difficult for the administrators to have an objective view of incidents that occur, especially when it involves a successful football program that benefits the entire university. The university administrators are often subject to the same pressures as those in the football program to increase the level of revenue and reputa- tion. This led to the deve ...

Part I: Research Questions
1. Should student athletes receive a stipend by the universities as reimbursement for participating in sports? Are there policies under the ISSF that guide on how best students should be compensated for their participation in different sports?
2. What challenges do coaches face in managing their respective teams? Is there an approved ISSF standard management structure that would allow coaches to participate and interact more with their players such that they are not only constrained to their managerial duties?
Part II: Research Topic
Problem Statement
Professional athletes earn large sums of money, though considered unethical; due to the fact that most of the times these athletes are students who are “exploited”. The estimated value rose through college athletics is considered to be roughly more than a billion dollars yearly, with this revenue being generated from an estimated 25 football schools and 64 basketball schools respectively (Brown & Williams, 2019). The concern raised is that the students do not get to see the money earned; but instead are offered athletic scholarships, allowing them to get free college education. The concerning factor is that most students use this opportunity as a chance to qualify for professional leagues, without considering the beneficial factors that their education offers. They are continuously to sacrifice their class and study hours such that they can practice and travel for their sports (Brown & Williams, 2019). Even though a scholarship seems like a good deal for some of these college athletes, what criteria is used to reward those athletes who are often viewed as celebrities and exploited for their affiliation with different institution to earn money for them?
Quite often, managers are faced with the dilemma of relating with their athletes mainly because they are absorbed in managerial duties that limit their interactions with their players. As a result, the element of teamwork is ignored and disregarded, leading to lack of communication, lack of trust, and continued conflict, which may affect the effectiveness of the team (Rollnick, Fader, Breckon, & Moyers, 2019). Sometimes the coaches aspect of caring is viewed as interference because there is no connection between the players and their coach, with coaches feeling left out of most decisions made by the players. This in mind, the study focuses on finding new strategies that can be applied by all coaches in every sport, such that the aspect of unity and communication is achieved, with coaches participating more in their respective projects.
Importance of the Study
Given the dynamic scope of this industry, it is important to do more research to understand the depth of the dilemma within the industry, with the use of previous and current research to provide insight on different pers.
Fiscal Reform and Accountability Within the Nonprofit Sector: An Analysis of ...eee1973
This capstone thesis project was a final research requirement for the completion and graduation from the School of Professional Studies at Northwestern University. This thesis was developed, revised and completed in 2008.
This document provides an overview of the compliance program at Compliance University. It discusses key aspects of running an NCAA compliant athletics department including the mission, departments, sports teams, resources like the NCAA manual, and emphasis on student-athlete well-being. It also covers important compliance topics like the responsibilities of head coaches, enforcement of codes of conduct, and accountability for violations.
This document discusses the debate around paying college athletes. It outlines some of the key arguments on both sides of the issue. Paying athletes could negatively impact non-revenue sports due to Title IX requirements and the concept of amateurism in college sports. However, colleges make millions off of athletics while athletes have no rights over their name or likeness. The document also discusses potential models for paying athletes, such as allowing them to profit off their name or providing a stipend. Overall, the document presents both perspectives on this complex issue around compensating college athletes.
Paying college athletes would be detrimental to the NCAA and smaller universities for several reasons:
1) It would be too complex and difficult to determine fair pay scales and distribute money evenly across all sports and divisions.
2) It would disrupt competitive balance, as wealthier programs would outbid others for top recruits.
3) Student athletes already receive substantial benefits from their scholarships and NCAA programs that would be lost if they were paid instead.

The NCAA was founded in 1906 and has grown to oversee championships and establish guidelines for athletics programs at over 1000 member institutions. It addresses challenges such as academic integrity, health and safety, and maintains core values of learning, balance, character and fairness. The organization has faced public scrutiny over issues like sports gambling and works to promote reforms related to areas like academics and drug testing.

This document discusses how colleges are failing in their duty to educate athletes. It provides evidence that graduation rates for athletes, especially black athletes, are significantly lower than for other students. It also discusses how athletes are often clustered into less challenging majors and take easier courses in order to stay eligible, rather than being provided with a meaningful education. While the NCAA touts increasing graduation rates, independent analyses find larger gaps between athlete and non-athlete graduation rates. The document argues that colleges have a moral duty to provide athletes, who are often recruited to the school, with a valid education to set them up for success after college sports.

Powering The Journey New Blueprint For Student-Athlete DevelopmentDJ Burns, M.Ed.
The document outlines a new approach to student-athlete development that focuses on preparing student-athletes for careers after college. It discusses the evolution of student-athlete development programs in athletic departments from focusing solely on academic eligibility to developing a holistic five-phase program. This new comprehensive approach to student-athlete development encompasses academic performance, career development, leadership training, and alumni engagement to fully support student-athletes.
Unlocking Opportunities: The Impact and Significance of Sports ScholarshipsFuture Education Magazine
These sports scholarships, often offered by colleges and universities, are financial awards granted to students based on their athletic abilities. These scholarships serve as a means to recruit talented athletes to enhance the sports programs of educational institutions.
Montana Tech systematically identifies student characteristics and needs through data collection and analysis. This includes enrollment reports, surveys, and financial aid applications. Identified needs include academic support, housing, counseling, career services, and accommodations for students with disabilities. Resources and programs are adapted as needed based on evolving student population and trends, with the goal of helping students achieve their educational goals. Facilities have become strained due to increased enrollment.
This document provides an executive summary of a capstone project analyzing the return on investment of playing club soccer in relation to receiving an athletic scholarship for college. It first explores the rising costs of attending college to show why athletic scholarships are pursued. It then reviews literature on the physical/time demands of student-athletes and the relationship between club and high school soccer. The analysis uses surveys of collegiate soccer players to determine if club soccer experience increases chances of receiving a scholarship over just playing high school soccer. The results found that while some receive scholarships, most benefits are the physical, mental and social rewards of playing youth soccer.

Music has long been used by movements seeking social change. In the.docxssuserf9c51d
Music has long been used by movements seeking social change. In the 1950s and '60s, this was particularly true, as successful black and white musicians openly addressed the issues of the day. During the '60s, popular white singers, such as Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, lent both their names and their musical talents to the American Civil Rights Movement. In fact, music long assisted those working to win civil rights for African Americans. Freedom songs, often adapted from the music of the black church, played an essential role in bolstering courage, inspiring participation, and fostering a sense of community.

Importance of the Learning Agreement
Purpose of the Learning Agreement: The learning agreement is designed to ensure students are mindful about the learning expectations in their field placement. It was developed to help students and supervisors/instructors plan a well-rounded experience that will help students meet the learning objectives.
Learning Objectives: The Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) requires students gain competency in nine areas of social work practice. These areas of practice are defined as core competencies of the profession. Each core competency requires particular behaviors students should be able to engage and gain competency in. Students should provide examples of activities in the agency they can participate in to help them meet the learning objectives. Some examples of activities are provided. This is not an exhaustive list, so others can be added. Students must have an opportunity to complete tasks in all nine areas of competency.
Connection to the Student Evaluation: Not only is the learning agreement a helpful tool to plan the learning goals for the term, but it connects directly to the evaluation points in the student evaluation. Field Instructors/supervisors will be asked to complete student evaluations. Each student is evaluated on the nine core competencies of social work. Having a solid learning agreement aligns the learning goals with the student’s evaluation, so no areas are missed.

- Murray Bowen is considered one of the most influential family therapists. He viewed the family as a complex emotional unit and believed it was important to understand interactions between family members to address problems.
- The case history describes the Petrakis family and issues that arose when the son Alec moved in to care for his grandmother, including theft and drug use. This caused stress for the mother Helen.
- Bowen's family systems theory and concepts of differentiation of self and triangles would provide different perspectives for analyzing this family's dynamics compared to other models like structural family therapy.
Mrs. Thomas is a 54, year old African American widow, mother and gra.docxssuserf9c51d
Mrs. Thomas is a 54, year old African American widow, mother and grandmother, who lives with her daughter and four grandchildren (ages 12, 10, 7 and 5) in a 4 story walk up apartment. She is an active member of her church community and friends, comments that she had so much energy that she exhausted all of them just being around her. At age 51, she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Busy with raising her grandchildren, a little more than 3 years went by before she sought attention for her symptoms and was diagnosed. Despite aggressive treatments with chemotherapy and radiation, her diseased progressed and she was considering undergoing a bone marrow transplant. Climbing the stairs to the apartment one afternoon she became very short of breath and collapsed. Her twelve, year old granddaughter called 911. At the hospital she was minimally responsive and in severe respiratory distress. She was intubated and transferred to the ICU. A family meeting with the oncology and ICU team was called to discuss Mrs. Thomas’s advanced condition, the fact that she would probably not survive further treatment for the lymphoma and to develop a plan of care. Fifteen family members arrived, including her daughter, pre-teen granddaughters and grandson, three nieces, four nephews, several friends from her church and the minister. On being asked that only the immediate family participate in the meeting, the family and friends became angry and insisted that all of them be involved in this discussion.
1. The students should focus their thoughts on the dynamics of this family meeting. If you were the nurse in this situation, how would you address meeting? Here are some questions that may help your thinking. W
hat is your impression regarding this scenario? What are some concerns you have with this case? What do you anticipate would happen? How would you handle all the family members and friends wanting to be included in the discussion? There is not right or wrong answer. But remember you need a professional journal to support the discussion.
2. Now think about you being the patient. How would the situation be handle within your family? Have you thought about what kind of care you would want? Does someone know what you would want if you had a catastrophic event? Would family members support the decision maker's decision for for you?

Murder Case
Preamble
An organization system administrator was labeled as the key suspect in a homicide case. The accused claimed that he was at work at the time of the murder.
Police Intervention
The police asked his employer to help them verify his alibi. Unpredictably, the same organization, occasionally trained law enforcement personnel to investigate computer crimes and was eager to help in the investigation.
Collaborative Strength:
The organization worked with police to assemble an investigative team, seized the suspect computers in his office and residence, and backup tapes on a file server managed by his employer. All of these evidence were stored in a room to where only members of the team had access.
Harsh Situation
At the initial stages, the operation appeared reasonably well documented, but the reconstruction process was a disaster. The investigators made so many omissions and mistakes that one computer expert when reading the investigator's logs, suggested that the fundamental mistake was that the investigators locked all of the smart people out of the room. The investigators, in this case, were unaware of the situation and unwilling to admit the slip-up.
As a result of the investigators' omissions and mistakes, the suspect's alibi could not work together. Digital evidence to support the suspect's alibi was identify later but not by the investigators. If the investigators had sought expert assistance to deal with a large amount of digital evidence, they might have quickly confirmed the suspect's alibi rather than putting him through years of investigation and leaving the murderer to go free.
Lesson Learned
The case amplifies forensic investigators' requirements to obtain fundamental knowledge of computers, compatible operating systems, and application software programs.
Forewarning forensic investigators to seek the assistance of the system administrator during the criminal investigation.

Multimodal Personal Narrative – Develop a multimodal document to bot.docxssuserf9c51d
Multimodal Personal Narrative – Develop a multimodal document to both visually illustrate and verbally express a personal transformation.
Use a one-page newspaper or single-panel brochure format to present a personal narration of a transformation of your choice from a point in your childhood to today. You might discuss a career aspiration you had as a child, transition to the job you held as a teenager, and lastly, explain the profession you maintain today. Use connecting ideas to ensure you have a cohesive essay, which will ultimately (in the conclusion) explain what you learned from this transformation. For example, how and why did you go from point A (job 1) to point B (job 2) and then on to point C (job 3)? Or, you might consider illustrating a transformation based on a way of life or philosophy.
Implement three photos to represent your ideas, feelings, etc., at the three focal points in your life. You may use personal photos, clip art, or other images, but be sure you use and/or attribute them appropriately. For example, you are free to use your personal photos as you’d like, but make sure to choose clip art or other images that you either have permission to use freely or that you cite adequately. Equally consider your document’s layout, such as text sizes, photo placement (near the related essay text), and colors, in addition to how you present your content, to include thesis, support, and organization.

This document discusses how colleges are failing in their duty to educate athletes. It provides evidence that graduation rates for athletes, especially black athletes, are significantly lower than for other students. It also discusses how athletes are often clustered into less challenging majors and take easier courses in order to stay eligible, rather than being provided with a meaningful education. While the NCAA touts increasing graduation rates, independent analyses find larger gaps between athlete and non-athlete graduation rates. The document argues that colleges have a moral duty to provide athletes, who are often recruited to the school, with a valid education to set them up for success after college sports.

These sports scholarships, often offered by colleges and universities, are financial awards granted to students based on their athletic abilities. These scholarships serve as a means to recruit talented athletes to enhance the sports programs of educational institutions.
Montana Tech systematically identifies student characteristics and needs through data collection and analysis. This includes enrollment reports, surveys, and financial aid applications. Identified needs include academic support, housing, counseling, career services, and accommodations for students with disabilities. Resources and programs are adapted as needed based on evolving student population and trends, with the goal of helping students achieve their educational goals. Facilities have become strained due to increased enrollment.
This document provides an executive summary of a capstone project analyzing the return on investment of playing club soccer in relation to receiving an athletic scholarship for college. It first explores the rising costs of attending college to show why athletic scholarships are pursued. It then reviews literature on the physical/time demands of student-athletes and the relationship between club and high school soccer. The analysis uses surveys of collegiate soccer players to determine if club soccer experience increases chances of receiving a scholarship over just playing high school soccer. The results found that while some receive scholarships, most benefits are the physical, mental and social rewards of playing youth soccer.

Music has long been used by movements seeking social change. In the.docxssuserf9c51d
Music has long been used by movements seeking social change. In the 1950s and '60s, this was particularly true, as successful black and white musicians openly addressed the issues of the day. During the '60s, popular white singers, such as Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, lent both their names and their musical talents to the American Civil Rights Movement. In fact, music long assisted those working to win civil rights for African Americans. Freedom songs, often adapted from the music of the black church, played an essential role in bolstering courage, inspiring participation, and fostering a sense of community.

Importance of the Learning Agreement
Purpose of the Learning Agreement: The learning agreement is designed to ensure students are mindful about the learning expectations in their field placement. It was developed to help students and supervisors/instructors plan a well-rounded experience that will help students meet the learning objectives.
Learning Objectives: The Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) requires students gain competency in nine areas of social work practice. These areas of practice are defined as core competencies of the profession. Each core competency requires particular behaviors students should be able to engage and gain competency in. Students should provide examples of activities in the agency they can participate in to help them meet the learning objectives. Some examples of activities are provided. This is not an exhaustive list, so others can be added. Students must have an opportunity to complete tasks in all nine areas of competency.
Connection to the Student Evaluation: Not only is the learning agreement a helpful tool to plan the learning goals for the term, but it connects directly to the evaluation points in the student evaluation. Field Instructors/supervisors will be asked to complete student evaluations. Each student is evaluated on the nine core competencies of social work. Having a solid learning agreement aligns the learning goals with the student’s evaluation, so no areas are missed.
Instructions
Negotiating the Agreement: The learning agreement should be completed by week 3 at the agency. This is a collaborative process, where the .

Mrs. Thomas is a 54, year old African American widow, mother and grandmother, who lives with her daughter and four grandchildren (ages 12, 10, 7 and 5) in a 4 story walk up apartment. She is an active member of her church community and friends, comments that she had so much energy that she exhausted all of them just being around her. At age 51, she was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Busy with raising her grandchildren, a little more than 3 years went by before she sought attention for her symptoms and was diagnosed. Despite aggressive treatments with chemotherapy and radiation, her diseased progressed and she was considering undergoing a bone marrow transplant. Climbing the stairs to the apartment one afternoon she became very short of breath and collapsed. Her twelve, year old granddaughter called 911. At the hospital she was minimally responsive and in severe respiratory distress. She was intubated and transferred to the ICU. A family meeting with the oncology and ICU team was called to discuss Mrs. Thomas’s advanced condition, the fact that she would probably not survive further treatment for the lymphoma and to develop a plan of care. Fifteen family members arrived, including her daughter, pre-teen granddaughters and grandson, three nieces, four nephews, several friends from her church and the minister. On being asked that only the immediate family participate in the meeting, the family and friends became angry and insisted that all of them be involved in this discussion.
1. The students should focus their thoughts on the dynamics of this family meeting. If you were the nurse in this situation, how would you address meeting? Here are some questions that may help your thinking. W
hat is your impression regarding this scenario? What are some concerns you have with this case? What do you anticipate would happen? How would you handle all the family members and friends wanting to be included in the discussion? There is not right or wrong answer. But remember you need a professional journal to support the discussion.
2. Now think about you being the patient. How would the situation be handle within your family? Have you thought about what kind of care you would want? Does someone know what you would want if you had a catastrophic event? Would family members support the decision maker's decision for for you?

Multigenre Project
EN101O Fall 2019 Dr. Walter
A Multigenre Project (MGP) presents multiple, even conflicting, perspectives on a topic in order to provide a rich context and present an aesthetically appealing product for an audience. Your MGP should reflect the following:
A focus: You should not only include documents that relate to a general topic, but you should ensure that the documents work towards a claim you are making about the topic.
A coherent organization/your entire MGP should be presented in an umbrella genre that best fits your purpose. You should create and organize documents in order to lead readers through the project, to help them understand your focus and purpose. Coherent organization will come out of the umbrella genre you choose for the project. For example, creating a magazine as the umbrella genre that includes articles, images, advertisements, etc. with one focus will provide cohesion to the project. Examples of how you might “package” the MGP include a CD, a scrapbook, a photo album, a patient file, an employee handbook, a manual, a newspaper, a magazine, a website—the options are endless! Just be sure to provide a table of contents (TOC) that offers an overview of and title for each document.
Look at some of the examples posted on D2L for concrete depictions of how this can work.
The Multigenre Project includes at least 8 documents (including an Introduction, Table of Contents, 5 documents of different genres (not including your Introduction), and a works cited page) that offer a sustained argument about your chosen issue. By creating documents in different genres (e.g., editorials, feature stories, brochures, short fiction, charts, scripts, etc.), you learn to write for multiple audiences, multiple (rhetorical) purposes, and multiple forums. All documents/text must be original work you create for the MGP.
Your Introduction serves as a guide to readers, helping them understand the issue you are addressing, offering insight about why you chose the genres you chose, etc. The introduction is your chance to help readers understand why this topic is important, how they should “read” your documents, etc. The introduction may be written as a letter to readers, a magazine article, an editorial, etc.
The bulk of your MGP will be the five documents, each representing a different genre, that helps persuade your audience(s) to your point of view. Aim for a good balance of genres, and be sure at least three of your documents directly use the sources you have gathered from your research. By writing a brochure that utilizes your research sources, a chart or other visual, a story drawing from the information you have gathered, a quiz based on researched sources, etc.—by approaching your research findings in a creative way, your MGP helps an audience understand many different perspectives about your topic. Some of the documents you will include may be more time-intensive than others. But the 5 documents that make up the bo.

Multicultural PerspectiveToday’s classrooms are diverse and .docxssuserf9c51d
Multicultural Perspective
Today’s classrooms are diverse and you will be expected to meet the needs of all of your students. Many of our students come from different cultures, which affects how they learn. We must take this into consideration when developing our lesson plans, making our role as an educator even more complex. As a result, we must be informed of our students’ cultural backgrounds as this includes another element of cognitive understanding that will guide our instructional practices. By understanding student culture, we can gain insight into learning preferences, interests, motivation, and prior knowledge.
Based on the important features of multicultural education found in Figure 4.6 of our text and selecting a specific content standard from the
Common Core State Standards Initiative (Links to an external site.)
(CCSS), develop a learning activity that includes these key features of multicultural education:
Integration of content
– How does your learning activity incorporate content from different cultures?
Reducing Prejudice
– How does the learning activity attempt to minimize any of your own prejudices as well as your students?
Making Teaching Equitable
– How does the instructional approach to your learning activity meet the needs of all your students by recognizing learning styles, interests, and motivation to help achieve academic potential?
Empowering Learners
– How does the learning activity empower all students to work toward their academic potential?
Construction of Knowledge
– How does your learning activity promote different perspectives that validate how culture influences knowledge and beliefs?
Be sure to first provide your content standard from the CCSS followed by your learning activity. Then explain how your learning activity meets each element of multicultural education by providing evidence to justify and support your assertions. Then reflect on your K-12 school experience. Was a multicultural education part of your schooling? What factors may have contributed to the inclusion or exclusion of a multicultural education in your own early schooling? Make sure to incorporate the five key features of multicultural education in your reflection.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

3. Because of this influx of revenue, the duties of coaches have
evolved beyond just coaching. In many ways, they became the
face of the team. Programs that show positive returns have
coaches working hard to fill seats on game day and encourage
college alumni to donate to the school. The more successful the
football team, the more visibility it is given in the media. This
visibility leads to greater awareness of the college or university
among the public, and schools with the best football programs
can see a greater influx of applications.
The collegiate football programs have an intangible influence
within and outside their immediate surroundings. This is mainly
seen in their fan base, composed of current students, alumni,
staff, faculty, and local businesses. For example, when the
University of Alabama won its 15 th national championship, the
victory was celebrated by an enormous crowd, fireworks, and a
parade. Texas A&M University is one example of a football
program that generates not only profits but also a sense of
loyalty among its fans. Approximately 70,000 football fans pile
into Texas A&M’s Kyle Field stadium at every home game to
show their support for the team and the university. Table 1
shows the value of some of the most successful college-football
programs. These games also help local businesses generate more
revenues.
Because of the financial support and widespread influence of
the football program, the players, coaches, and football
administrators have to deal with a lot of pressure to fundraise,
sell tickets, and win games. These pressures open up
opportunities for misconduct to occur, and it is increasingly
important that university administrators and football program
officials directly acknowledge opportunities for misconduct.
While the university is ultimately responsible for the operation
of each department and the behavior of its employees, it can be
difficult for the administrators to have an objective view of
incidents that occur, especially when it involves a successful
football program that benefits the entire university. The
university administrators are often subject to the same pressures
4. as those in the football program to increase the level of revenue
and reputation. This led to the development of a more objective
institution to set and enforce rules and standards: the National
Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The NCAA views
ethical conduct as a crucial component to a college football
program and works to promote leadership and excellence among
student–athletes and the universities to which they belong. It
also serves to protect the interests of student–athletes, ensure
academic excellence, and encourage fair play.

Note: Excludes Wake Forest
In this case, we provide a brief history of the NCAA and
examples of the rules they have regarding college football. We
then view how these rules relate to ethics. The next section
covers some of the major college football scandals within the
past few years, how these scandals were handled by the schools
and the NCAA, and the impact of these scandals upon the
colleges’ communities. It is crucial to note, however, that these
scandals are not common to college football as a whole. The
majority of football teams receive no NCAA infractions during
the year, and those reported are usually minor in nature.
Universities have their own set of expectations for student–
athletes, including showing up on time to practice and behaving
responsibly that go above and beyond NCAA rules. However,
when NCAA violations occur, universities have a responsibility
to report them in a timely manner. Therefore, the next section
covers examples of ways universities addressed unethical
behavior in their football programs through self-imposed
sanctions, which signifies that they consider compliance to be
an important component of their football programs. We
conclude by analyzing how effective the NCAA appears to be in
curbing misconduct and preventing future unethical behavior
5. from occurring. This case should demonstrate that ethics and
compliance is just as important to nonprofit organizations and
educational institutions as they are for the business
world.OVERVIEW OF NCAA
The NCAA was formed in 1906 under the premise of protecting
student–athletes from being endangered and exploited. The
Association was established with a constitution and a set of
bylaws with the ability to be amended as issues arise. As the
number of competitive college sports grew, the NCAA was
divided into three Divisions, I, II, and III, to deal with the
rising complexity of the programs. Universities are given the
freedom to decide which division they want to belong to based
on their desired level of competitiveness in collegiate sports.
Each Division is equipped with the power to establish a group
of presidents or other university officials with the authority to
write and enact policies, rules, and regulations for their
Divisions. Each Division is ultimately governed by the
President of the NCAA and the Executive Committee. Under the
Executive Committee are groups formed in each Division, such
as the Legislative Committee, as well as Cabinets and Boards of
Directors.
In the early 1980s, questions began to arise concerning the level
of education student–athletes received. Some thought these
students were held to a lower academic standard so they could
focus on their sport, which could lead to negative consequences
for their futures. As a result, the NCAA strengthened the
academic requirements of student–athletes to ensure they took
academics just as seriously as athletics. It also established the
Presidents Commission, composed of presidents of universities
in each Division that collaboratively set agendas with the
NCAA. Table 2 provides a list of six of the Principles for
Conduct of Intercollegiate Athletics that can be found in Article
2 of the Constitution.
Throughout the Constitution, the NCAA emphasizes the
responsibility each university has in overseeing its athletics
department and being compliant with the terms established by
6. its conferences. The NCAA establishes principles, rules, and
enforcement guidelines to both guide the universities in their
oversight of the athletics department as well as penalize those
failing to regulate their own misconduct. In article ten of the
bylaws, a description of ethical and unethical conduct among
student–athletes is provided, along with corresponding
disciplinary actions taken if any of these conditions are
violated. Honesty and sportsmanship are emphasized as the
basis of ethical conduct, while wagering, withholding
information, and fraud are among the unethical behaviors listed.
Article 11 describes the appropriate behavior for athletics
personnel. Honesty and sportsmanship is again the basis for
ethical behavior, but with an added emphasis on responsibility
for NCAA regulations. Article 11 cites the Head Coach as
responsible for creating an atmosphere of compliance and
monitoring the behavior of his or her subordinates, including
assistant coaches and players.
The NCAA takes the enforcement of rules seriously and tries to
ensure the penalties fit the violation if misconduct does occur.
The organization also makes sure the penalties are handed down
in a timely manner, not only to indicate the seriousness of the
infraction but also to maintain a credible and effective
enforcement program. This method tries to correct or eliminate
deviant behavior while maintaining fairness to those members
of the Association not involved in violations. Employees
(coaches and other administrative staff) are exhorted to have
high ethical standards since they work among and influence
young people. The NCAA makes it a requirement that each
employee engage in exemplary conduct so as not to cause harm
to the student–athletes in any way. They are also given a
responsibility to cooperate with the NCAA.
TABLE 2 Principles for Conduct of Intercollegiate Athletics
The Principle of Institutional Control and Responsibility
• Puts the responsibility for the operations and behaviors of
staff on the president of the university
The Principle of Student-Athlete Well-Being
7. • Requires integration of athletics and education, maintaining a
culturally diverse and gender equitable environment, protection
of student-athlete’s health and safety, creating an environment
that is conducive to positive coach/student-athlete relationships,
coaches and administrative staff show honesty, fairness, and
openness in their relationships with student–athletes, and
student-athlete involvement in decisions that will affect them
The Principle of Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct
• Maintains that respect, fairness, civility, honesty, and
responsibility are values that need to be adhered to through the
establishment of policies for sportsmanship and ethical conduct
in the athletics program which must be consistent with the
mission and goals of the university. Everyone must be
continuously educated about the policies.
The Principle of Sound Academic Standards
• Maintains that student–athletes need to be held to the same
academic standards as all other students
The Principle of Rules Compliance
• Requires compliance with NCAA rules. Notes that the NCAA
will help institutions in developing their compliance program
and explains the penalty for noncompliance
The Principle Governing Recruiting
• Promotes equity among prospective students and protects them
from exorbitant pressures

Collegiate Athletics Association, 2011).
The NCAA lays out three types of violations and corresponding
penalties, depending on the nature and scope of the violation.
Secondary violations are the least severe and can result in fines,
suspensions for games, and reduction in scholarships. For major
violations, some of the penalties are the same as secondary
violations, but the scope is far more severe. For example,
suspensions will be longer and fines larger. However, some
penalties are specific only to major violations, such as a public
reprimand, a probationary period for up to five years, and limits
8. on recruiting. The last type involves repeat violations that occur
within a five-year period from the start date of the initial
violation. The penalties for repeat violations are the most
severe, including elimination of all financial aid and recruiting
activities and resignation of institutional staff members who
serve on boards, committees, or in cabinets. Table 3 lists some
of the more prominent unethical practices the NCAA lists
specifically concerning college football.
The NCAA incorporates a compliance approach to ethics by
developing and enforcing rules to keep the games fair and
respectful of student–athletes’ rights. The NCAA Committee on
Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct identified respect and
integrity as two critical elements in the NCAA 2011 and 2012
Football Rules and Interpretations. The NCAA strives to keep
football games fun and entertaining without sacrificing the
health and safety of the student–athletes participating. As
previously mentioned, the NCAA places emphasis on the level
of education student–athletes receive and encourages athletes to
focus on their grades to ensure they have career opportunities
post-athletics. The core of the NCAA concerns ethics. This
organization takes not only key players into consideration, but
also other stakeholders, such as the college community and the
sports society as a whole.
TABLE 3 Unethical Practices Prohibited by the NCAA
• Use of the helmet as a weapon.
•Targeting and initiating contact. Players, coaches and officials
should emphasize the elimination of targeting and initiating
contact against a defenseless opponent and/or with the crown of
the helmet.
•Using nontherapeutic drugs in the game of football.
•Unfair use of a starting signal, called “Beating the ball.” This
involves deliberately stealing an advantage from the opponent.
An honest starting signal is needed, but a signal that has for its
purpose starting the team a fraction of a second before the ball
is put in play, in the hope that it will not be detected by the
officials, is illegal.
9. •Feigning an injury. An injured player must be given full
protection under the rules, but feigning injury is dishonest,
unsportsmanlike and contrary to the spirit of the rules.
•Talking to an opponent in any manner that is demeaning,
vulgar, or abusive, intended to incite a physical response or
verbally put an opponent down.
•For a coach to address, or permit anyone on his bench to
address, uncomplimentary remarks to any official during the
progress of a game, or to indulge in conduct that might incite
players or spectators against the officials., is a violation of the
rules of the game and must likewise be considered conduct
unworthy of a member of the coaching profession.

Association, Football 2011 and 2012 Rules and Interpretations
(Indianapolis, IN: National Collegiate Athletics Association,
2011).
Aside from its involvement with student–athlete academics, the
NCAA is likewise involved with other off-the-field activities to
protect the best interests of student–athletes. According to
NCAA guidelines, college football coaches are not permitted to
actively begin recruiting prospective players to their school
until the prospective player is at least a junior in high school.
These coaches have a limit on the number of phone calls and
off-campus visits they are permitted to make to prospective
students. These rules are in place to ensure student–athletes do
not feel pressured by these colleges. Once the student–athletes
are in college, a set of rules made between the NCAA and the
individual college limit the types of gifts a student–athlete can
accept. Parents of student–athletes, for example, are able to
give any number and type of gifts to their own children, but
must be wary when it comes to other members of the team.
Student–athletes generally cannot accept gifts at reduced prices
(e.g., a free iPod) and other gifts, such as practice uniforms for
the team, must be cleared by the school first.
Despite the NCAA’s wide array of rules and regulations, there
have been many criticisms of the organization’s practices. One
10. of these criticisms has to do with a former investigator of the
NCAA, Ameen Najjar, who worked on investigating reports of
rule violations from the University of Miami. Najjar was
promptly dismissed from the NCAA when it was found he was
going outside the NCAA’s rules of investigation in order to
collect more evidence for the case. Not only was this a major
embarrassment for the NCAA, but critics state Najjar followed
orders from others within the organization and was put up as a
scapegoat when the rule-breaking investigative techniques came
to light. The NCAA also faces a lawsuit wherein they are
accused of allowing the video game company EA to use the
likeness of NCAA basketball players in their video games
without giving the players any compensation.
Additionally, misconduct in college sports continues to be a
challenge for the NCAA. Often other stakeholders are involved
in the misconduct. For instance, college sports games that have
been “rigged” (managed fraudulently) have often been traced to
wealthy sports boosters with inside knowledge of the sports in
which they heavily invest. A majority of the time, this rigging
is done to benefit gambling outcomes among these boosters. In
addition, as mentioned earlier, college sports often bring in
significant amounts of revenue for the university that creates
pressure to overlook misconduct. Authority figures in the sports
program can be tempted to cheat when recruiting players and
cover up misconduct to avoid penalties.
When a college sports program is accused of misconduct that
violates NCAA rules, the NCAA conducts an investigation to
determine whether the allegations are true. If these schools are
found to be in violation, the NCAA levies penalties against the
team. However, the NCAA also received criticism from those
who disapprove of the severity and effectiveness of the
sanctions meant to discourage sports programs from
misconduct. On the one hand, some stakeholders believe the
NCAA sanctions are too tough. On the other hand, others feel
they are not strict enough. They state some of the major college
football programs hit by NCAA sanctions were able to recover
11. from these penalties quickly and did not suffer much during the
course of the sanctions. This argument implies that avoiding the
risks of punishment is less costly to the team than the benefits
of bending the rules. Whether NCAA sanctions are too harsh or
not harsh enough, pressure to maintain the sports programs
provides the opportunity for misconduct in the college sports
community, as well as creates significant challenges for the
NCAA
