You answer your own question and the problems were always there. The internet is exposing a lot of this crap. I'll hate to image what they did before the internet.

I would say that more media outlets have given things like this more exposure as they do in any sport's issue. But when I entered the first posts, I said what I did because HBCUs should know how the NCAA acts. Yet, we are seeing repeat mistakes. While some HBCUs made their mistakes over 20-30 years ago, it was the big schools with the worst violations (i.e. Florida football, Clemson football, UCLA basketball, Minnesota in the late '70s).

The NCAA is running a tighter ship with the clearinghouse history and compliance issues. The major problem is the fact that we are still trying to run the athletic department compliance officer as a one man/woman position as we have done in past which was difficult task at best. But now that it has become such an issue, especially with NCAA recertification it has become a bigger issue and budgetary cost component. Just consider all of the NCAA violations that have been issues to SWAC schools and various programs over the last couple of years. I am not sure if there is one school that has not had at least one program hit with the compliance issue (lately it was in the non-revenue Olympics sports so we did not give it much credence).

We simply still do not want to believe the cost associated with operating a Division I athletic program and the fact that most of our institutions either do not have or are not willing to pay the cost operate a fully run athletic program.

You basically stated in more depth about the money and staffing issues than I mentioned earlier. I was curious what you would say. Anyway, HBCUs need to address the compliance issues. They do not have a choice. To put it simply the NCAA can have a nasty attitude.

Along with most of the reasons given, I think it ultimately boils down to this: Lack of Institutional Oversight and Control.

Whether it's not realizing the importance of being in Compliance, or not allocating the manpower to handle Compliance issues, the blame (and responsibility) lies solely with the Administration.

From the President, various VPs, to the AD, somebody's job was to ensure compliance before any questions surfaced. And in this case, it seems there was gross negligence beforehand, in order to cause such a knee-jerk reaction the day before the game....

What pisses me off about it is this: if you weren't concerned about NCAA compliance ALL SUMMER then why in da heyll are you so concerned about it, the day before a game, that you pull HALF THA DAYUM TEAM out........

That goes to the integrity of the University as a whole.
What kinda mickey-mouse leadership do we have here!?!?!

And no, it's not the media.
No, it's not the internet.
And it really isn't the NCAA.

It's the dayum folks on that gott-dayum campus....

HBCUs will need to quit having these compliant problems. In addition to the NCAA, SACS will look into athletics too.

This is not the only link. But the statement is very clear in what it says.

HBCU's need to hire qualified people and not friends of a friend...get me?

It's a matter of how much are they willing to invest. PV has now made compliance their number one priority by having a compliance office in addition to a director of compliance. And they are paid very well. I guess that's how Zach and Spivey became eligible :ebrow:. The job is not easy, it takes more than one compliance officer to do the job.
