Enforcement

Enforcement is one component of the infractions process.  The mission of the enforcement department is to uphold integrity and fair play among member schools; ensure that compliant schools and student-athletes are not disadvantaged by their compliance and provide fair procedures and timely resolution of cases.

  • Development

    The enforcement development staff works with member schools and their athletics departments to identify issues and concerns affecting college sports and to encourage the reporting of potential violations as early as possible.

  • Processing

    At the completion of an investigation, processing involves working collaboratively with institutions to prepare potential violations for presentation to the NCAA Committees on Infractions via legislated timelines, documents and processes. 

  • Promoting and Protecting Academic Integrity

    Enforcement’s Academic Integrity Unit was formed in 2016 to serve as a resource for everyone who plays a role in ensuring integrity in the classroom, from athletics administrators and coaches to faculty athletics representatives, academic advisors to student-athletes. The Academic Integrity Unit has partnered with the membership to provide educational materials designed to promote and protect academic integrity through detection and prevention of academic misconduct for both NCAA student-athletes and prospective student-athletes.

  • Division I Men's Basketball Ethics Coalition

    The role of the Division I Men's Basketball Ethics Coalition is to promote ethical conduct among NCAA Division I men's basketball coaches through education, leadership and mentoring.
