Message: [QUOTE="javadoc, post: 308846, member: 338"] Took forever for the 2011-12 rulebook to download. Here are the two that I believe could sink them. [U][B]Constitution, Article 6, Institutional Control[/B][/U] [I]6.01 GENERAL PRINCIPLE[/I] [I]6.01.1 Institutional Control. The control and responsibility for the conduct of intercollegiate athletics shall be exercised by the institution itself and by the conference(s), if any, of which it is a member. Administrative control or faculty control, or a combination of the two, shall constitute institutional control.[/I] [I]6.1 INSTITUTIONAL GOVERNANCE[/I] [I]6.1.1 President or Chancellor. A member institution’s president or chancellor has ultimate responsibility and final authority for the conduct of the intercollegiate athletics program and the actions of any board in control of that program. (Revised: 3/8/06)[/I] [U][B]Bylaw, Article 19, Enforcement[/B][/U] [I]19.01.2 Exemplary Conduct. Individuals employed by or associated with member institutions for the administration, the conduct or the coaching of intercollegiate athletics are, in the final analysis, teachers of young people. Their responsibility is an affirmative one, and they must do more than avoid improper conduct or questionable[/I] [I]acts. Their own moral values must be so certain and positive that those younger and more pliable will be influenced by a fine example. Much more is expected of them than of the less critically placed citizen.[/I] It would seem that several people in the AD and in the University's Administration, [B]including the single person who is designated as the ultimate authority for Institutional Control[/B], are in flagrant violation. 19.01.2 may read like the "good behavior" clause for Supreme Court service, but like the Medicaid portion of the recent PPACA ruling, this is a time when the NCAA has to put its foot down and say, "We may not have a bright line standard for determining when a violation of 19.01.2 has occurred, but by God this one certainly qualifies."[I][/I] [/QUOTE]
