NCAA enforcement and compliance

NCAA enforcement and compliance involve overseeing college sports to ensure teams follow established rules, such as academic standards and recruiting practices. Enforcement investigates violations, which can include improper benefits or recruiting violations, and enforces penalties like fines, postseason bans, or scholarship reductions. Compliance involves managing and monitoring programs to prevent violations and uphold integrity. It requires universities to establish policies, educate staff and athletes, and regularly report activities to NCAA authorities. Together, they ensure fair play, maintain the integrity of college athletics, and create a level playing field for all student-athletes.
