NCAA rules and regulations

The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) oversees college sports by setting rules on player eligibility, academic standards, recruiting practices, and competition. Student-athletes must meet academic requirements, maintain amateur status, and adhere to eligibility deadlines. Schools are responsible for recruiting ethically and ensuring fair play. The NCAA enforces these rules through compliance staff, and violations can result in penalties like suspensions or sanctions. Its goal is to promote fair, safe, and equitable competition while ensuring athletes succeed academically and develop personally.
