Online Sync Sessions are an integral part of the online learning experience. Additional information about learning concepts and assignments may be discussed and sync sessions offer valuable opportunities for students to interact with their faculty and peers during the term. We encourage all students to attend live, but if they are unable to, sync sessions will be recorded and posted within Canvas to allow for an asynchronous model of success as well.

MSA 455-DL : NCAA Compliance

Description

NCAA rules and infractions can seem mysterious and arbitrary, given the way they are covered by the media. The NCAA has rules and processes that affect the daily workings of any NCAA institutions, particularly Division I. This course provides students with a working knowledge of NCAA compliance issues by examining and applying the bylaws of the NCAA (with a focus on Division I). Students will examine case studies to gain experience in applying this knowledge to everyday NCAA issues. Enforcement procedures, waivers processes, and the evolution of the NCAA rules will be examined as well. This course will offer valuable insights into career paths in NCAA compliance, college administration, and how the world of college sports really works.
