To increase head coaches' ac- countability, the NCAA strengthenedits head coach responsibilities legislation in August 2013. The NCAA Enforcement Staff has since levied dozens ofhead coach responsibili- ties violation allegations. The Committee on Infractions has affirmed all but three of these charges, concluding that head coaches did not violate the legislation in: (1) Wichita State University's 2015 baseball case; (2) A 2017 case involving the University of the Pacific's baseballprogram; and(3) Baylor University's 2021 case that involved its footballprogram. Peer Reviewed This Article explores what college athlet- ics constituents can learn from these three cases. Such information is increasingly important given both the frequency with which the Enforcement Staff alleges viola- tions of the legislation and the number of pending cases involving high-profile uni- versities, sport programs, and head coaches.

Ross, MS FACTUAL BACKGROUND Originating from a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) investigation in 2017 that gained national attention, a former Auburn University men's basketball as- sociate coach was arrested for accepting $91,500 in bribes from a financial advisor for impermissibly influencing student- athletes and their families. The student-athletes and their families were provided inducements and benefits, according to a report released by the Divi- sion I Committee on Infractions panel specific to this particular case. This incident is another case and out- come stemming from a much larger and widespread investigation that brought light to the darker intersection between intercol- legiate and professional sports resulting in significant reform within the NCAA. The arrest of the associate head coach in 2017 originated from a complaint that said the coach was accepting bribes from financial advisors in return for influencing student-athletes and their families to retain the advisor's professional services once they had entered the National Basketball As- sociation (NBA). Upon arrest, the associate head coach would confirm these allegations Will Kava Tabbed as Senior Associate AD/Compliance & Governance at Mizzou Lake Brings Passion to Compliance Role at Shaw University NCAA Punishes Division II Bluefield State After Finding It Failed to Monitor Certification Process 4 Missouri State AD Says School Will Not Appeal NCAA Finding that It Failed to Monitor Women's Volleyball Program NIL Technology Company Introduces 'Customizable' Platform for NCAA Compliance Professionals 7 Overwhelmed with Cases DI Board of Directors Pauses Referrals to Independent Infractions Process 7 Mercer's Failure to Monitor Cross Country Program Leads to Recruiting Violations, NCAA Sanctions E UMass AD Expresses Disappointment with NCAA Journal of NCAA Compliance is a publication of Hackney Publications.
