May a compliance officer who reports outside athletics (e.g., to the president or chancellor) perform the evaluation of the rules-compliance program?
The periodic evaluation must be done by an individual who does not perform compliance work on a day-to-day or continuing basis.Further, the review must be performed by an authority outside the compliance process.As a result, a compliance committee, including any individual performing ongoing compliance duties (e.g., compliance coordinator or registrar), would not meet the committee’s expectations because that group is not external to the compliance process. Finally, the committee has determined that acceptable compliance reviews must be conducted by an authority outside the athletics department who is knowledgeable of NCAA compliance policies and who does not have day-to-day responsibilities in the areas under review.
