  4. Bylaw 11.1.2.1Responsibility of Head Coach It shall be the responsibility of an institution’s head coach to promote an atmosphere for compliance within the program supervised by the coach and to monitor the activities regarding compliance of all assistant coaches and other administrators involved with the program who report directly or indirectly to the coach. (3)

  5. Rationale: the head coach has an obligation to promote a culture of compliance among the entire team, including assistant coaches, other staff and student-athletes. The head coach must monitor the activities of assistant coaches and staff to determine if they are acting in compliance with NCAA rules. Too often, when assistant coaches or other administrators involved with the program are involved in serous violations, head coaches profess ignorance regarding such violations while indicating such responsibilities were entrusted to their assistants. A head coach should be presumed to have knowledge and therefore responsibility for the actions of those individuals associated with his or her team whom the coach directly or indirectly supervises. (4)

  6. However, a violation of the proposed bylaw will occur only in major-infractions cases, similar to institutional control allegations, or in very serious secondary cases. This proposal does not imply that every violation by a staff member or student-athlete involved in the head coach’s program will be considered a lack of control of the part of the head coach. There is a rebuttable presumption that exists when situations indicate that the head coach has set a proper tone of compliance. Under such circumstances, the head coach would not be charged with a lack of control for activities that may result in NCAA rules violations. (5)

  7. Proposal Nos. 2007-78 and 2007-79 • Home competition: • Meals may begin with the evening prior to the competition; • Meals may be provided up until S-As are released; and • On release, an additional Meal or $15 may be provided. Bylaw 16.5.2 (6)

  8. Proposal Nos. 2007-78 and 2007-79 • Away-from-home competition: the institution may chose to provide: • Option (i): Three meals (or cash allowance) per day, plus a pregame or postgame meal on competition day; or • Option (ii): Meals at institution’s discretion once the S-A reports on call until the team returns to campus (no cash allowances). Bylaw 16.5.2 (7)

  9. Proposal No. 2007-78 • Away-from-home competition: allows for $15 (up from $10) in lieu of a postgame meal under Option (i), which allows three meals per day or the cash allowance for the three meals. Bylaw 16.5.2 (8)
