Division II Committee on Infractions

Committee Chair: Richard Loosbrock, Adams State University. Faculty Athletics Representative/Professor of History

The Committee on Infractions is the division’s primary steward of the enforcement process. The committee meets as needed to participate in hearings involving member institutions that have been alleged to have violated NCAA legislation. At these hearings, the committee determines facts related to alleged violations and, if necessary, imposes appropriate penalties or show-cause requirements on a member found to be involved in a major violation (or, upon appeal) on a member found to be involved in secondary violations).

The number of institutions appearing at each hearing depends upon the length of each case and the amount of other business that the committee has to conduct. An institution’s appearance before the committee may last all or a portion of one or more days, depending upon the complexity of the case.

The committee also is charged with revising, when necessary, Bylaw 19 (Enforcement), which establish operating policies and procedures, including investigative guidelines. The committee also carries out any other duties directly related to administering the Association’s enforcement program.

The Division II COI is supported by the Office of the Committees on Infractions (OCOI). The OCOI supports all three divisional Committees on Infractions by providing: administrative support; logistical coordination; research; analysis; training; drafting; strategic planning; and such other duties as assigned from time to time by the chair of the Division I Committee on Infractions. The OCOI consists of Matt Mikrut (Managing Director), Heather McVeigh (Director), Brad Rochman and Marnae Mawdsley (Associate Directors), Evelyn Gross (Coordinator) and Cindy McKinney (Executive Assistant to the Vice President of Hearing Operations).
