Compliance Question Of The Week
Question:
When I return to the office on Monday, what new NCAA rules will be in place? Will any of them drastically change my life?
Answer:
There are plenty of new rules ready to hit the books in just a few days. Below, you'll find a quick summary of each of the new bylaws, including some which are sport-specific. I've also attached a document which provides all the detail you could possibly want (including bylaw numbers) for all the new August 1=t legislation. Please take a look and review both items. There's nothing here you haven't already heard about - but it's a good refresher a= we kick off the 2010-2011 academic year with these updates!
