NCAA Compliance Rules

NCAA compliance rules ensure student-athletes and schools follow ethical standards related to recruiting, scholarships, and amateurism. They prohibit illegal payments or benefits that could give some athletes unfair advantages. Schools must accurately report and track athlete eligibility, recruiting practices, and financial aid to maintain fairness and integrity in college sports. Violating these rules can lead to penalties like fines, scholarship limits, or postseason bans. Overall, these rules aim to create a level playing field, protect student-athletes’ amateur status, and uphold the integrity of college athletics.
