Approximately
2,093 secondary violations were processed to completion during the 2001 calendar
year. The vast majority of the
violations were self-reported to the NCAA enforcement staff by the involved
institutions or their conferences, in accordance with NCAA Constitution 2.8.1
(Principle of Rules Compliance – Responsibility of Institution), although
some were the result of NCAA inquiries.
Of the 2,093
violations processed, Division III institutions accounted for 104 violations,
or five percent of the total.
Over the past three years, the number of secondary violations reported
by Division III institutions has remained fairly consistent; 113 in 2000 (six
percent of total), 105 in 1999 (six percent of total). For Division III
institutions, more Bylaw 14 (Eligibility) violations were processed than any
other type (30 percent).
Recruiting violations (22 percent) and extra benefits (16 percent)
were ranked second and third.
Generally, Bylaw 14 violations involved allowing student-athletes to
compete even though they: (1)
had not met NCAA satisfactory-progress requirements, (2) had not been
certified eligible by the institution; or (3) were not enrolled in a
full-time program of studies. |
