The Division III Committee on Infractions is an independent administrative body charged with deciding major infractions cases involving member institutions and their employees. The committee is comprised of individuals serving as volunteers from NCAA member institutions and one individual from the general public who has legal training.  As authorized by NCAA bylaws, the committee has authority to address prehearing procedural matters, set and conduct hearings, find facts, conclude violations of NCAA legislation, prescribe appropriate penalties and monitor institutions on probation to ensure compliance with penalties.  The workload varies, as it is based on the number of major infractions cases investigated by the enforcement staff and presented to the committee.
The Division III 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 III 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).
