An important component of NCAA compliance is the self-reporting of rules violations. It is impossible at some point to not inadvertently violate an NCAA rule. However, it is how we handle the situation that can demonstrate appropriate institutional control or a lack thereof.
Self-reporting rule violations are important for several reasons. First, awareness of possible violations gives an opportunity to correct the situation before it develops into a major infraction. Secondly, awareness helps identify areas that need to be addressed with department policies or through further rules education. Un-reported violations are more difficult to correct and usually lead to additional violations.
To uphold the integrity of intercollegiate athletics there is a responsibility to report any violations which you observe, hear of or participate in. Withholding information or supplying false information is a direct violation of Bylaw 10, Ethical Conduct. It is also important to “Ask Before You Act.” Should anyone have a question regarding rules compliance the Athletic Department encourages you to ask prior to acting to ensure we are in compliance.
Any alleged rule violations are to be reported to the Athletic Director, the Compliance Officer, the Faculty Athletic Representative or the President of Mississippi College.
