LAWW 58003 — NCAA Governance, Legislation, & Compliance
This course examines NCAA governance and both the NCAA legislative and infractions process. As familiarity with the knowledge of the NCAA legislation becomes increasingly important within the college athletics industry, a purpose of the course is to examine the NCAA's operative bylaws (11-17). The course will incorporate NCAA infractions cases as a method to learn application of the legislation. An overarching objective is to increase appreciation of NCAA rules compliance yet encourage critical thought of both the infractions process and legislative content. The course also covers the NCAA's status as a private organization, the results of the fact that it is not a state actor, and Supreme Court cases including Alston, Board of Regents, and NCAA v. Tarkanian. (Typically offered: Fall and Summer) This course is cross-listed with SPMT 58003 .
