Tracy A. Trachsler and Raymond J. Cotrufo
Tracy A. Trachsler and Raymond J. Cotrufo, Sport Management Department, received notice that their article, “National Collegiate Academic Association: The Implications of Increased NCAA Oversight of Academics,” will be published in the Journal of Contemporary Athletics. The paper discussed recent academic scandals with an emphasis on events at the University of North Carolina, where student-athletes, over a period of several years, were enrolled in “paper classes” with limited oversight from faculty. Since some have proposed increased involvement by the NCAA in academic affairs on member campuses as a way to prevent occurrences of academic impropriety, this paper outlines some of the far-reaching effects of such an action.
