handle is hein.journals/jncaac8 and id is 1 raw text is: Route To: / / Journal of CAiA CoPliance A sports law periodical by Hackney Publications 2 Are eSports Programs on the Horizon? Video games were once associated with couch potatoes, but today there is growing legitimacy, especially around what is known as eSports. This type ofprofessional competitive gam- ing is gaining popularity in the US., and eSports is breaking into the mainstream world - emerging technology companies, standard athletic programs, and even higher education institu- tions are jumping on the virtual band wagon. 3 The Benefits of Neutrality in Intercollegiate Athletics: The Case for Arbitration in NCAA Enforcement and Infractions Matters The National Collegiate Athletic Association ('NCAA) enforcement process and decisions rendered by the NCAA Com- mittee on Infractions (COI) have been a consistent lightning rod for scrutiny and litigation. 4 Georgia Emerges with Barely a Scratch after Rules Violation LevelI or Level II? Increasingly, therein lies the delineation between draconian sanctions and a slap on the wrist. 5 Locklin Leverages Coaching Experience in Liberty University's Compliance Department Google Bert Locklin and you would swear they were two differ- ent people. 6 Is Syracuse University's Post-Season Ban Enough? Syracuse University is hoping that while many ofthe names and faces have changed at the NCAA, the pattern offorgiveness to those membership institutions that violate the rules will hold when an institution administers its own bitter medicine. 7 In Restoring Paterno Wins, NCAA Admits Defeat The biggest news emanating from the NCAA' annual conven- tion in January wasn't the new rules enacted by the Big-5 Con- ferences, which jiurther distances themselves from the realm of amateurism. As significant as that news was, it took a back seat to the agreement by the NCAA to restore 112 wins to the Penn State University (PSU) football team, 111 of them by legend- ary coach Joe Paterno. Paterno' record reverts to its legitimate total of 409-136-3 and restores him to his rightful place as the winningest coach in major college football history. 8 National Governance Organization Should Be Better than This The NCAA announced in January that it will pay $3,000 to the parents of 125 players so they can attend the College Football Playofffinals and $3,000 to parents of the four teams of 15 men andfour teams of 15 women who make it to their respective NCAA Division I Final Four - plus an extra $1,000 to the parents ofthe two teams each that make it to their respective championship finals. This is a huge departure from the normal NCAA policy that treats all male and female athletes going to NCAA championships in the same manner- no expenses for parents. 9 Luck Selected as New Regulatory Executive Vice President The NCAA has hired Oliver Luck as the executive vice presi- dent of regulatory affairs, a new position that will bring the national office regulatory functions - academic and member- ship affairs, the Eligibility Center and enforcement - under one umbrella. 10 Compliance Digest * Oklahoma Fires Employee over NCAA Rules Violation * NCAA Investigates SMU's Basketball Program * Eastern Washington University Frustrated over NCAA Transfer Rules * Illinois Bans Receivers Coach for One Game January-February 2015 I IN THIS ISSUE
