To see what the NCAA considers a "violation." We need to keep up with Ohio St and their 22 self-reported violations from last year.
and the rule book is so large and antiquated even compliance has a hard time with it. The NCAA needs to revamp that whole thing.
The hockey one kind of confuses me a bit as it's obvious that any seating upstairs is premium seating.
violations because a diligent news organization would have filed a FOIA request for MSU also and would have disclosed that they are still waiting for MSU to comply with the request if they had not received the information. /s
Well shit we're just turning into SMU now. Better convert the Big House into the home pitch for AFC Ann Arbor.
Unless it involves a recruit or a current player, the NCAA shouldn't be telling coaches what they can give gifts/money to.
or else Drew Sharp will beat them to it.
Two of the four were when Zordich and G. Bush (Wayne Lyons' mom) made comments or tweets about Lyons.
Mostly probably a result of a new staff not being 100% familiar with NCAA jibberish.
Separately, on March 18, Jim Harbaugh sent an autographed team helmet and jersey to an auction organized by a former high school classmate of his to benefit suicide prevention and awareness. The donation was not reviewed beforehand by Michigan's compliance office, and the items that were auctioned ended up being used to assist a scholarship fund in the name of a student who had committed suicide, something Harbaugh was not aware of, according to U-M's self-reported violation.
and MLive. I now sit cross eyed and confused. Signing off
Fuck off NCAA.
Any athletics director will tell you this...it shows that you're monitoring your program.
I've had athletics directors encourage a secondary or two once it comes time to report to the NCAA just so they don't look out of place.
You obviously don't want an egregious number, but you also don't want zero. Zero is a red flag and a clear sign of failure to monitor.
There isn't a person on earth who knows the NCAA rule book inside and out, not even at the NCAA. They know people are going to slip up, they expect some violations.
Just respond accordingly and keep them to a minimum.
Now if you have major violations, that's an entirely different story.
Even folks at the NCAA will tell you this...
I hear the freep wants Michigan to get the death penalty for this.
"Per NCAA rules, programs/coaches may not personally donate items to benefit high school scholarship funds."
"Based on the joint review, UNC and the NCAA staff concluded there were no violations of current NCAA rules or student-athlete eligibility issues related to courses in African and Afro-American Studies."
"This case is troubling for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that the law does not and has never required the NCAA to ensure that every student-athlete is actually taking full advantage of the academic and athletic opportunities provided to them," NCAA chief legal officer Donald Remy said in a statement..."
You have an organization that maintains an absurdly large book of regulations regarding picayune instances of "impermissible benefits" and that is constantly blathering about student-athletes taking their academics seriously on its commercials at halftime, and yet when it has a golden opportunity to actually back up what it says about academic integrity, it whitewashes one of the worst academic scandals in major-college history, and washes its hands of having even the tiniest responsiblity to do fuckall.
Nothing to sweat about. But Ohio State has 22 of those Violations it's like parking tickets for them or a bench warrent.
Yawn, truly....

You know, I read some of these and think, "I get why there is a rule in principle, but still this is all incsequential stuff really, especially from a staff just coming onto the scene", but then it dawns on me that this is the same NCAA that once made players compensate their own school for eating an amount above their allotment and, as I recall, suspended a player years ago for misrepresenting how he came into possession of a used mattress. Their knack for addressing important things is simply incredible.
Don't forget the ruling a player ineligible because the flag football league he played in while serving overseas broke his amateur status.
NCAA is like the tax code.
the DBs gave up three TD passes to Golson alone.
