FOR THE RECORD: NCAA corrects William Rhoden column

William Rhoden’s November 6, 2010, New York Times column (“Coaches shouldn’t be immune to penalties”) implies that the NCAA does not sanction college coaches, which is flat out wrong. If a college coach is involved in a violation of NCAA rules, he or she is at risk for NCAA penalties. Universities must make employment decisions; however, these NCAA penalties can, and often do, include limits on coaching duties.

Further, the NCAA is committed to facilitating discussions among key groups to identify solutions for agent-related issues. However, any penalty imposed on NFL players is under the purview of the NFL and NFL Players Association.
