re: Did compliance department folks leak stuff to Yahoo?

Seems to me that a compliance department should be advising the athletic staffs on just how far they can push the rules short of breaking them, rather than serving as the NCAA’s in-house narcs.

If I were still coaching I would want them to keep me out of compliance “jams” but I think you’re at least part of the way correct. It’s a subtle but important difference. I would hope my compliance folks would take a slightly adversarial stance with the NCAA for two reasons. One, to prevent them from rolling us over at their leisure. Two, to ensure fair treatment of my kids and coaches. That’s the same stance I would see any industrial concern taking with any regulator.


NCAA has become a great big “gotcha organization” it seems.
