Believe it or not, washing a car with university water can be an NCAA violation sports.yahoo.com
At a time when college athletics is overrun with rogue agents, unscrupulous coaches and handlers who exploit athletes for money, it's reassuring to know not every unrepentant rule-breaker goes unpunished. Hearty congratulations to the NCAA for penalizing a student-athlete from a West Coast Conference school for the unspeakable crime of washing her car with the university's water and hose. Portland basketball coach Eric Reveno tweeted about the violation Wednesday after he learned of it during conference meetings, punctuating his message with the hashtag #stopinsanity. A spokesman for the WCC did not know any further details, but a source familiar with the circumstances revealed what happened. A WCC school self-reported an extra benefits violation when university officials caught one of their women's golfers washing her car on campus, according to the source. A secondary violation was ruled to have occurred because the water and hose were not available to regular students and requested the golfer pay back $20, which was deemed to be the value of the water and use of the hose. NCAA spokeswoman Dana Thomas emailed Thursday that her organization did not participate in the decision and does not consider the car wash to have been an extra benefits violation. Asked why the golfer was penalized, Thomas said "it seems there was a miscommunication at some level" and the WCC is working with the school to clarify. A WCC spokesman did not immediately return an email seeking further explanation of what happened. That school administrators actually reported the violation and a penalty was initially assessed is equal parts hilarious and exasperating. What's next? Charging athletes by the sip at drinking fountains? Or by the gallon after locker room showers? Too many petty rules like this one or the one governing the use of bagel spreads continue to choke the system and prevent administrators at the school, conference and NCAA levels from focusing on what's important. Reform is needed throughout college athletics, yet its leaders are too busy calculating the value of a couple buckets of soapy water to attack the real issues. 2

Compliance Tips TIP #1: With the spring evaluation period coming to an end, the football coaches at Ocean State University want to make sure they get in a few last recruiting trips. The total number of permissible recruiters is on the road recruiting today and the first assistant coach will complete his recruiting activities at noon. Another assistant coach will replace him and begin recruiting at 1pm today. The first assistant coach would like to recruit again tomorrow. Does he have to return to campus prior to engaging in additional recruiting activities? Yes. NCAA Bylaw 11.7.4.3 states that it is permissible for a coach to leave campus to engage in off-campus contact or evaluation before another coach who is off campus actually returns to campus, provided the total number of coaches recruiting on behalf of the institution at any time does not exceed the permissible number. The coach being replaced must complete his or her recruiting activities before another coach may begin any off-campus recruiting activity. Further, the replaced coach may not engage in additional recruiting activities until after he or she has returned to the institution's campus. Please note with the adoption of RWG-11-4, the limitation on the number of coaches who may recruit offcampus at any one time has been eliminated. This legislation has an August 1, 2013 effective date.
TIP #2: The Men’s Basketball coaches at Ocean State University purchased apparel, etc. from Nike for their summer camps this year. As a thank you for their business, Nike sent Ocean State towels to give out during their camps. Can the coaches give the towels free of charge to the campers? No. NCAA Bylaw 13.12.1.7.4 states that prospective student-athletes may receive awards from a member institution’s sports camp or clinic with the understanding that the cost of such awards is included in the admissions fees charged for participants in the camp or the clinic. TIP #3: Hang Time is a men's basketball student-athlete at Ocean State University. Hang is going to enroll in classes and work out with the coaches this summer. The coaches are putting together a schedule for workouts and want Hang to participate in skill instruction activities on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am to noon. Hang will have class on those days at 11am. Can Hang miss class to participate in these workouts? No. NCAA Official Interpretation- 6/11/10-Missed Class Time for Practice Activities (I)- states that a student-athlete may not miss class at any time (e.g., regular academic term, mini term, summer term) for practice activities, except when a team is traveling to an away-from-home contest and the practice is in conjunction with the contest. [References: NCAA Bylaw 17.1.6.6.1 (no class time missed for practice activities) and a staff interpretation (8/20/97, Item No. a), which has been archived]
