I’m really trying to understand what authority the compliance office has in the athletic department’s organizational structure. To me the president has more authority than the athletic director and then the AD. The compliance office is a support mechanism on certain matters. If the school president and the AD want to have a meeting with the coach by themselves, what authority does the compliance office have to insert themselves into the meeting? The answer should be none.

And you're not wrong. Now, the compliance office needs to have some level of autonomy to do their jobs appropriately; however, the buck still stops with the president and athletic director when making decisions such as suspending/firing a head coach. Letting the compliance department dictate the terms on such matters is absurd. And if this is all a show so the AD can save face, then that's a terrible image to present.

That’s where it gets tricky if we’ve created a “compliance-first” culture in the AD where compliance has been given ultimate, independent authority.

Need to clean house. Unfortunately can’t do it right in the middle of a scandal where the NCAA is on site.

But yes, you are right... compliance answers to Alleva and Pres. New AD needs to clean it out and put his own people in place and make sure everyone is on the same page in terms of their mission.
