The NCAA Committee on Infractions Has Spoken: East Central University (Division II)

Originally published by Christian Dennie.

The NCAA Division II Committee on Infractions (“Committee”) recently released its findings and found that East Central University (“ECU”) committed major violations of NCAA legislation. This case primarily centered on violations of NCAA recruiting bylaws that occurred in the men’s basketball program during the spring and summer of 2011. It also included a violation resulting from a student-athlete failing to sign the NCAA Drug-Testing Consent Form prior to the student-athlete engaging in athletically related activity. In addition, the former head men’s basketball coach violated NCAA head coach responsibility and ethical conduct legislation because of his involvement in the violations in this case and for his failure to engage ECU’s compliance staff to determine whether certain actions he took were permissible under NCAA legislation. After the investigation concluded the case was submitted to the Committee through the summary disposition process, which is an alternative to a formal hearing before the Committee that may be utilized when the NCAA enforcement staff, the member institution, and involved individuals agree to the facts of an infractions case and that those facts constitute major violations of NCAA legislation.
