Does that rule have any punishments associated with it? Isn't the NCAA concerned about a rule that is basically a delay tactic to let SEC schools get rid of the evidence?
Why do SEC schools have to report stuff to SEC office first?
- Thread starter rebelrouseri
- Start date
he said he was going to clean up the conference. He didn't wany any probations for 5 years or something like that. So his decision was any violations have to be reported to the SEC first.
That's like telling a dockworker that any racketeering claims against mobsters must be reported to the local teamsters local before you can go to the cops.
because they were getting flooded with recruiting rumors and random stupid stuff from the SEC. Just like any organization they have a limited number of resources so anyone stepping in and offering to filter out the garbage is going to be appreciated. I don't think the SEC can get away with hiding information and if they did someone is going to get in some serious trouble.This only works if the NCAA trusts the SEC office.
Again, how thorough was Auburn's investigation? Did they talk toRogers, Mullen, Byrne etc.? Did Slive report to NCAA immediately upon getting additional information from MSU or wait for Auburn's response?
From SEC website:
The Task Force Committee on Compliance and Enforcement (Committee) was appointed in October of 2002. The work of the Committee is an important step in a Conference-wide effort to improve the SEC's compliance programs.
</p>
Members of the Committee include:
</p>
The SEC Commissioner, Executive Associate Commissioner and an Associate Commissioner also participated. The group met in person and by telephone conference call beginning October 2002. </p>. . . .
When it comes to dealing with agents, boosters, recruiting, academic fraud and other problems, the fortunes of all SEC member institutions are bound together. Without a cooperative effort, an untreated problem on one campus today may well appear on another campus tomorrow.
Recommendation 1
</p>
Reports of Allegations From Another Conference Institution
</p>
Prior to forwarding allegations to the SEC office, the institution's chief executive officer or athletics director shall determine if there is sufficient information to support the allegation. Allegations submitted to the Commissioner by members of the Southeastern Conference shall be accepted from an institution's chief executive officer or athletics director. Other individuals (e.g., coaches) who report information to SEC staff shall be directed to contact the appropriate campus personnel for submission of the allegation(s).
</p>
Allegations deemed to be credible, or deemed to include sufficient information meriting a response, shall be forwarded from the Commissioner to the chief executive officer and athletics director at the institution where the violations have been alleged and, when appropriate, to the NCAA. This information shall include details of the allegation(s), and related SEC or NCAA bylaws, but shall not name the source of the information. The athletics director shall be asked to provide the Commissioner with a response to the allegations within 30 days. In its response, the institution shall also be asked to provide all relevant information. The institution shall also be asked to determine if it believes a violation occurred.
</p>
Upon receipt of an institution's response, the Commissioner shall review the information to determine:
</p>
When it is determined a violation of NCAA rules has occurred, the full report shall be forwarded to the NCAA national office.
</p>
Following review of an institution's report, including requests for additional information following an institution's initial response, the Commissioner shall report the determination to the institution from which the allegations were originally reported.
</p>
In accordance with the existing SEC Code of Ethics, any rumors or complaints made by coaches or administrators shall not be made in public. Institutions are required to provide coaches and administrators with the proper procedures for reporting allegations.
</p>
These guidelines are not intended to preclude informal communications among athletics directors or campus compliance personnel related to possible rules infractions. Informal communication may be appropriate in many circumstances and should be pursued as deemed proper on each campus. </p>
