- Title
THE NCAA SHOULD ADOPT A UNIFORM STUDENT-ATHLETE DISCIPLINE POLICY.
- Authors
Lockhart, T. Matthew
- Abstract
While the NCAA aims to regulate and issue punishment in a uniform fashion to protect its integrity, it is letting the issue of arrests and convictions slip through the cracks. Under the current system, the NCAA can suspend an athlete for accepting bail money from a school booster, but can do nothing about the underlying arrest or the resulting conviction. This Comment asserts that it is time for the NCAA to adopt a student-athlete discipline policy that each of its member institutions must follow. The integrity of each member institution, and college athletics in general, will continue to take a back seat to wins and losses in a system where the NCAA has the power to do more to an athlete who gets a discount on shoes than to an athlete who steals them.
