The Raider Review
Spot the Infraction Hypothetical: The basketball coaches at Competitive University purchased apparel, etc. from Nike for their summer camps this year. As a thank you for their business, Nike sent Competitive University water bottles to give out during their camps. The staff gives out these water bottles as prizes for various drills and competitions but does not increase the cost of the camp for each participant. Infraction: NCAA Bylaw 13.12.1.6.4 This bylaw 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 clinic.
Can they do that?! A junior prospect will be attending a baseball day camp at Athletics College next month. Because a majority of the camp is geared toward hitting, each camper is being asked to bring his own bat. If the prospect does not have a bat, can the coaches at Athletics College loan a bat for the camp? Yes, as long as the opportunity is extended to all campers. NCAA Staff Interpretation- 1/29/93Institution loaning equipment to prospects during summer camp- states that an institution may loan athletics equipment (e.g., batting helmet, softball bat) to prospective studentathletes who are attending the institution's summer camp, provided the equipment is necessary for participation in camp activities and is available to all prospects attending the camp.

NCAA board gives some schools break on APR penalties There remains little apparent sympathy for college basketball power Connecticut. But as the NCAA prepares to start handing out postseason bans to teams with poor academic records, it's offering some leeway to historically black and other lower-budget schools. The association's Division I board of directors moved Thursday to give those schools' teams an additional year to raise their Academic Progress Rate, which measure success in keeping athletes in school, keeping them eligible and ultimately graduating them.

Most Division I teams have until the 2015-16 school year to move their fouryear average APR to a 930, which projects a 50% graduation rate. Lowerresource schools — determined by the NCAA in part by what they spend on athletics and per-capita expenditures for their overall student body — will have until 2016-17. A gradual buildup to those benchmarks also is more relaxed for those institutions, which tend not to have as much money and other resources for tutoring and other academic support.
None of the schools in the top-tier Trevor Doll Football Bowl Subdivision qualifies for Director of Compliance the break. Read full article here. [email protected] (937) 775-2830 Amanda Pitcock Graduate Assistant [email protected]
