Until 1957, the NCAA was a single division for all schools. That year, the NCAA split into the <a href="/wiki/NCAA_University_Division" title="NCAA University Division">University Division</a> and the <a href="/wiki/NCAA_College_Division" title="NCAA College Division">College Division</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:7-6">[4]</a> In August 1973, the current three-division system of <a href="/wiki/NCAA_Division_I" title="NCAA Division I">Division I</a>, <a href="/wiki/NCAA_Division_II" title="NCAA Division II">Division II</a>, and <a href="/wiki/NCAA_Division_III" title="NCAA Division III">Division III</a> was adopted by the NCAA membership in a special convention. Under NCAA rules, Division I and Division II schools can offer <a href="/wiki/Scholarship" title="Scholarship">scholarships</a> to <a href="/wiki/Athletic_scholarship" title="Athletic scholarship">athletes</a> for playing a sport. Division III schools may not offer any athletic scholarships. Generally, larger schools compete in Division I and smaller schools in II and III. Division I <a href="/wiki/College_football" title="College football">football</a> was further divided into I-A and I-AA in 1978, while Division I programs that did not have football teams were known as I-AAA. In 2006, Divisions I-A and I-AA were, respectively, renamed the <a href="/wiki/NCAA_Division_I_Football_Bowl_Subdivision" title="NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision">Football Bowl Subdivision</a> (FBS) and <a href="/wiki/NCAA_Division_I_Football_Championship_Subdivision" title="NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision">Football Championship Subdivision</a> (FCS). In its 2022–23 fiscal year, the NCAA generated $1.28 billion in revenue, $945 million (74%) of which came from airing rights to the <a href="/wiki/NCAA_Division_I_men%27s_basketball_tournament" title="NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament">Division I men's basketball tournament</a>.<a href="#cite_note-7">[5]</a> Controversially, the NCAA substantially restricts the kinds of benefits and compensation (including paid salary) that collegiate athletes could receive from their schools. The consensus among economists is these caps for men's basketball and football players benefit the athletes' schools (through <a href="/wiki/Rent-seeking" title="Rent-seeking">rent-seeking</a>) at the expense of the athletes.<a href="#cite_note-:5-8">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-9">[7]</a><a href="#cite_note-10">[8]</a> Economists have subsequently characterized the NCAA as a <a href="/wiki/Cartel" title="Cartel">cartel</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:3-11">[9]</a><a href="#cite_note-:4-12">[10]</a><a href="#cite_note-:6-13">[11]</a> In 2021, the <a href="/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States" title="Supreme Court of the United States">Supreme Court of the United States</a> unanimously ruled that some of these NCAA restrictions on student athletes are <a href="/wiki/National_Collegiate_Athletic_Association_v._Alston" title="National Collegiate Athletic Association v.

As other sports emerged, notably football and basketball, many of these same concepts and standards were adopted. Football, in particular, began to emerge as a marquee sport, but the rules of the game itself were in constant flux and often had to be adapted for each contest. The NCAA dates its formation to two White House conferences convened by President <a href="/wiki/Theodore_Roosevelt" title="Theodore Roosevelt">Theodore Roosevelt</a> in the early 20th century in response to repeated injuries and deaths in college football which had "prompted many college and universities to discontinue the sport."<a href="#cite_note-ncaahist-1">[1]</a> Following those White House meetings and the reforms which had resulted, Chancellor <a href="/wiki/Henry_MacCracken" title="Henry MacCracken">Henry MacCracken</a> of <a href="/wiki/New_York_University" title="New York University">New York University</a> organized a meeting of 13 colleges and universities to initiate changes in football playing rules; at a follow-on meeting on December 28, 1905, in New York, 62 higher-education institutions became charter members of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the United States (IAAUS).<a href="#cite_note-ncaahist-1">[1]</a> The IAAUS was officially established on March 31, 1906, and took its present name, the NCAA, in 1910.<a href="#cite_note-ncaahist-1">[1]</a> For several years, the NCAA was a discussion group and rules-making body, but in 1921, the first NCAA national championship was conducted: the National Collegiate Track and Field Championships. Gradually, more rules committees were formed and more championships were created, including a basketball championship in 1939.<a href="#cite_note-History-16">[14]</a> A series of crises brought the NCAA to a crossroads after World War II. The "Sanity Code" – adopted to establish guidelines for recruiting and financial aid – failed to curb abuses, and the Association needed to find more effective ways to curtail its membership.<a href="#cite_note-17">[15]</a> Postseason football games were multiplying with little control, and member schools were increasingly concerned about how the new medium of television would affect football attendance.<a href="#cite_note-History-16">[14]</a> The NCAA engaged in a bitter power struggle with the <a href="/wiki/Amateur_Athletic_Union" title="Amateur Athletic Union">Amateur Athletic Union</a> (AAU).<a href="#cite_note-auto10-18">[16]</a><a href="#cite_note-auto9-19">[17]</a> The complexity of those problems and the growth in membership and championships demonstrated the need for full-time professional leadership. <a href="/wiki/Walter_Byers" title="Walter Byers">Walter Byers</a>, previously an assistant sports information director, was named executive director in 1951.<a href="#cite_note-History-16">[14]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Harvard_Crimson" title="Harvard Crimson">Harvard Crimson</a> described Byers as "power-mad," <a href="/wiki/The_New_York_Times" title="The New York Times">The New York Times</a> said that Byers was "secretive, despotic, stubborn and ruthless," <a href="/wiki/The_Washington_Post" title="The Washington Post">The Washington Post</a> described him as a dictator, and others described him as a "petty tyrant."<a href="#cite_note-auto10-18">[16]</a><a href="#cite_note-20">[18]</a><a href="#cite_note-21">[19]</a><a href="#cite_note-22">[20]</a>”<a href="#cite_note-auto3-23">[21]</a><a href="#cite_note-24">[22]</a>[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability">verification needed</a>]<a href="#cite_note-25">[23]</a> Byers wasted no time placing his stamp on the Association, and a national headquarters was established in <a href="/wiki/Kansas_City,_Missouri" title="Kansas City, Missouri">Kansas City, Missouri</a>, in 1952.<a href="#cite_note-History-16">[14]</a> A program to control live television of football games was approved, the annual Convention delegated enforcement powers to the Association's Council, and legislation was adopted governing postseason bowl games.<a href="#cite_note-History-16">[14]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="1970s–1980s">1970s–1980s</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=National_Collegiate_Athletic_Association&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: 1970s–1980s">edit</a>]</div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:NCAA_70s_logo.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/NCAA_70s_logo.svg/150px-NCAA_70s_logo.svg.png" decoding="async" width="150" height="150" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/NCAA_70s_logo.svg/225px-NCAA_70s_logo.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/NCAA_70s_logo.svg/300px-NCAA_70s_logo.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="512" /></a><figcaption>The NCAA logo used from 1971 to 1979</figcaption></figure> As <a href="/wiki/College_athletics" class="mw-redirect" title="College athletics">college athletics</a> grew, the scope of the nation's athletics programs diverged, forcing the NCAA to create a structure that recognized varying levels of emphasis. In 1973, the association's membership was divided into three legislative and competitive divisions – I, II, and III.<a href="#cite_note-26">[24]</a> Five years later in 1978, Division I members voted to create subdivisions I-A and I-AA (renamed the Football Bowl Subdivision and the Football Championship Subdivision in 2006) in football.<a href="#cite_note-History-16">[14]</a> Until the 1980s, the association did not govern women's athletics. Instead, the <a href="/wiki/Association_for_Intercollegiate_Athletics_for_Women" title="Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women">Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women</a> (AIAW), with nearly 1,000 member schools, governed women's collegiate sports in the United States. The AIAW was in a vulnerable position that precipitated conflicts with the NCAA in the early-1980s. Following a one-year overlap in which both organizations staged women's championships, the AIAW discontinued operation, and most member schools continued their women's athletics programs under the governance of the NCAA.<a href="#cite_note-27">[25]</a> By 1982 all divisions of the NCAA offered national championship events for women's athletics. A year later in 1983, the 75th Convention approved an expansion to plan women's athletic program services and pushed for a women's championship program.<a href="#cite_note-History-16">[14]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="President's_Commission">President's Commission</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=National_Collegiate_Athletic_Association&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: President's Commission">edit</a>]</div> Proposals at every NCAA Convention are voted on by the institutional members of the NCAA. Each institutional member has one representative: the president/CEO or a representative designated by him/her.<a href="#cite_note-BARK-28">[26]</a> Attendance by the actual president/CEO was low; less than 30%.<a href="#cite_note-BARK-28">[26]</a> <a href="/wiki/Southern_Methodist_University" title="Southern Methodist University">Southern Methodist University</a> President <a href="/wiki/A._Kenneth_Pye" title="A.

The <a href="/wiki/American_Council_on_Education" title="American Council on Education">American Council on Education</a> (ACE) proposed a presidential board empowered to veto NCAA membership actions, while the NCAA Council, whose membership was mostly athletic officials, suggested a presidential commission with advisory powers. The Council's proposal may have been intended to block the presidential effort to gain control of the NCAA. The two proposals were voted on by the membership at the NCAA Convention in January 1984. The ACE proposal was defeated by a vote of 313 to 328. The Council proposal passed on a voice vote without ballots.<a href="#cite_note-BARK-28">[26]</a> Publicly, the President's Commission (PC) was responsible for establishing an agenda for the NCAA, but the actual language of the proposal stated that their role was to be a presidential forum and to provide the NCAA with the president's position on major policy issues. The PC could study issues and urge action, call special meetings and sponsor legislation. Their one real power was to veto the selection of Executive Director.<a href="#cite_note-BARK-28">[26]</a><a href="#cite_note-29">[27]</a> The composition of the commission was 22 CEOs from Division I and 11 CEOs each from Divisions II and III.<a href="#cite_note-UPI-30">[28]</a> The true intent of the PC was to shift control of intercollegiate athletics back to CEOs. Graduation rates were an important metric to chancellors and presidents and became a focus of the PC.<a href="#cite_note-31">[29]</a><a href="#cite_note-32">[30]</a> In June 1985 a special convention was held to review legislative proposals including academic integrity, academic-reporting requirements, differences in "major" and "secondary" violations including the "death penalty" and requiring an annual financial audit of athletic departments. All proposals passed overwhelmingly. Many presidents who did not attend sent a vice-president rather than their athletic director.<a href="#cite_note-BARK-28">[26]</a> <a href="/wiki/University_of_Florida" title="University of Florida">University of Florida</a> President <a href="/wiki/Marshall_Criser" title="Marshall Criser">Marshall Criser</a> stated that "the ultimate responsibility must be assumed by the CEOs because we don't have enough NCAA cops to solve all of the problems."<a href="#cite_note-BARK-28">[26]</a> The regular NCAA meeting in January 1986 presented proposals in regard to college eligibility, drug testing, and basketball competition limits.<a href="#cite_note-33">[31]</a> All passed but matters regarding acceptable academic progress, special-admissions and booster club activities were ignored. Many presidents did not attend and it appeared that athletic directors controlled the meeting. A survey of 138 Division I presidents indicated that athletic directors did control collegiate sports. Despite a moratorium on extending the season of any sport in 1985, the extension of basketball and hockey seasons were approved. <a href="/wiki/Indiana_University" title="Indiana University">Indiana University</a> president <a href="/wiki/John_W._Ryan" title="John W.

It narrowly passed.<a href="#cite_note-BARK-28">[26]</a> The PC attempted to again push the reform of college athletics by calling another special convention which was held in June 1987 to discuss cost-cutting measures and to address the overemphasis on athletics in colleges and universities. John Slaughter, <a href="/wiki/Chancellor" title="Chancellor">Chancellor</a> of the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Maryland,_College_Park" title="University of Maryland, College Park">University of Maryland</a> served as chairman. He stated, "This represents the second major thrust since our commission was formed three years ago. The first involved academics and infractions. This will be equally momentous and more sweeping. We want to achieve a balance between athletics and other institutional programs."<a href="#cite_note-UPI-30">[28]</a> Cost-cutting measures proposed included reductions in athletic financial aid, coaching staff sizes, and length of practice/playing seasons. A resolution was also floated that opposed coaches receiving outside financial compensation if outside activities interfere with regular duties.<a href="#cite_note-UPI-30">[28]</a> All the PC proposals were defeated, and two basketball scholarships were restored that were eliminated at the meeting in January. It was apparent that there was an open conflict between college presidents.<a href="#cite_note-BARK-28">[26]</a> The president of the <a href="/wiki/Carnegie_Foundation_for_the_Advancement_of_Teaching" title="Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching">Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching</a> <a href="/wiki/Ernest_L._Boyer" title="Ernest L.

They feel they must resist such change because athletics are bigger than they are."<a href="#cite_note-BARK-28">[26]</a> The PC sponsored no legislation at the January 1988 annual meeting, and there was not a vote of confidence.<a href="#cite_note-BARK-28">[26]</a> However, a year later at the annual meeting, financial aid restrictions were proposed for specific Division I and II sports. Following extensive discussions, the measure was withdrawn and a Special Committee on Cost Reductions was formed to study the issue. Once again, a proposal from the PC was circumvented.<a href="#cite_note-BARK-28">[26]</a> The President's Commission met in October 1989 to prepare for the 1990 NCAA annual meeting. Proposals were developed to shorten spring football and the basketball season; grant financial aid based on need to academically deficient athletes; and reporting of graduation rates. Chancellor <a href="/wiki/Martin_Massengale" title="Martin Massengale">Martin Massengale</a> of the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Nebraska%E2%80%93Lincoln" title="University of Nebraska–Lincoln">University of Nebraska–Lincoln</a> was then chairman of the PC insisted that graduation rate data was needed to preclude "further need for federal legislation" that was being proposed by Representative <a href="/wiki/Tom_McMillen" title="Tom McMillen">Tom McMillen</a> and Senator <a href="/wiki/Bill_Bradley" title="Bill Bradley">Bill Bradley</a>.<a href="#cite_note-BARK-28">[26]</a> The proposals demonstrated that the PC was intent on regaining control of college athletics and the opposition was immediate.

Upon his departure, he predicted, "In the next five years, school presidents will completely confuse intercollegiate athletics directors, then they'll dump it back to athletics directors and say, 'You straighten this out.' About 2000, it may be back on track."<a href="#cite_note-BARK-28">[26]</a> Presidential turnout for the January 1990 meeting was good and many who did not attend sent a delegate to vote for the PC. The graduation reporting proposal passed overwhelmingly, and the proposal for need-based non-athletic aid passed easily. The final proposal to shorten basketball and spring football generated fierce debate. There was a motion to defer the proposal for study that failed 383–363, but the many PC members relaxed, confident of victory. PC Chairman Massengale left the meeting for other business, but during lunch, council members began lobbying and twisting arms to change votes. When the session resumed, council members began criticizing the PC and quickly executed a parliamentary maneuver to refer the proposal to the NCAA Council. Many PC members were still at lunch when a roll call vote passed 170–150. <a href="/wiki/Texas_Longhorns" title="Texas Longhorns">University of Texas</a> women's athletic director <a href="/wiki/Donna_Lopiano" title="Donna Lopiano">Donna Lopiano</a> complained, "The President's Commission needs to do what it does best, and that is to macro-manage.

We will bring back solutions."<a href="#cite_note-BARK-28">[26]</a> Numerous presidents were shocked, upset and angry, but the remaining PC members began their own lobbying and arm-twisting. An hour later, there was a sense that representatives who had voted against the direction of their respective presidents had reconsidered, and a motion was made to reconsider by <a href="/wiki/Lattie_F._Coor" title="Lattie F.

The plaintiffs stated that the NCAA's football television plan constituted price fixing, output restraints, boycott, and monopolizing, all of which were illegal under the <a href="/wiki/Sherman_Act" class="mw-redirect" title="Sherman Act">Sherman Act</a>. The NCAA argued that its pro-competitive and non-commercial justifications for the plan – protection of live gate, maintenance of competitive balance among NCAA member institutions, and the creation of a more attractive "product" to compete with other forms of entertainment – combined to make the plan reasonable. In September 1982, the district court found in favor of the plaintiffs, ruling that the plan violated antitrust laws. It enjoined the association from enforcing the contract. The NCAA appealed all the way to the <a href="/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States" title="Supreme Court of the United States">United States Supreme Court</a>, but lost in 1984 in a 7–2 ruling <a href="/wiki/NCAA_v._Board_of_Regents_of_the_University_of_Oklahoma" title="NCAA v.

The NCAA settled before a ruling by the court, by agreeing to set up the Former Student-Athlete Fund to "assist qualified candidates applying for receipt of career development expenses and/or reimbursement of educational expenses under the terms of the agreement with plaintiffs in a federal antitrust lawsuit."<a href="#cite_note-53">[51]</a></li> <li>In 2013, <a href="/wiki/Jay_Bilas" title="Jay Bilas">Jay Bilas</a> claimed that the NCAA was taking advantage of individual players through jersey sales in its store.

On September 30, 2015, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that limiting compensation to the cost of an athlete's attendance at a university was sufficient.

Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the court's opinion, which upheld a district court judge's decision that the NCAA was violating antitrust law by placing limits on the education-related benefits that schools can provide to athletes. The decision allows schools to provide their athletes with unlimited compensation as long as it is some way connected to their education. The idea that college athletes should not be paid, a fundamental tenet of the 115-year-old NCAA, has faced increasing scrutiny in recent years.

The split gradually took hold in other sports as well. Records from before the split were inherited by the University Division. In 1973 the College Division split up between teams that wanted to grant athletic scholarships (becoming Division II, which inherited the College Division's records and history) and teams that did not (becoming Division III), and the University Division was renamed to Division I. Division I split into two subdivisions for football only in 1978 (though both still under the Division I name), with Division I-A consisting of major teams who would continue to compete in bowl games and use various polls to decide its champion and Division I-AA consisting of smaller teams who would compete in the new NCAA Football Tournament to decide its champion.<a href="#cite_note-bswb-72">[70]</a> Division I schools without football teams were known as Division I-AAA. In 2006, Division I-A became the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), Division I-AA became the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), and Division I-AAA became Division I non-football.

The 11 sports which use the National Collegiate format, also called the single-division format, are women's bowling, fencing, men's gymnastics, women's gymnastics, women's ice hockey, rifle, skiing, men's indoor volleyball, women's beach volleyball, men's water polo, and women's water polo.<a href="#cite_note-73">[71]</a> The NCAA considers a National Collegiate title equivalent to a Division I title even if the champion is primarily a member of Division II or III.<a href="#cite_note-fs.ncaa.org-74">[72]</a> These championships are largely dominated by teams that are otherwise members of Division I, but current non-Division I teams have won 40 National Collegiate championships since the University Division/College Division split as of 2022 (2 in bowling, 20 in fencing, 8 in women's ice hockey, and 10 in rifle).<a href="#cite_note-fs.ncaa.org-74">[72]</a> Division III schools are allowed to grant athletic scholarships to students who compete in National Collegiate sports, though most do not. Men's ice hockey uses a similar but not identical "National Collegiate" format as women's ice hockey and men's indoor volleyball (Division III has its own championship but several Division III teams compete in Division I for men's ice hockey), but its top-level championship is branded as a "Division I" championship. While the NCAA has not explained why it is the only sport with this distinction, the NCAA held a separate <a href="/wiki/NCAA_Division_II_men%27s_ice_hockey_tournament" title="NCAA Division II men's ice hockey tournament">Division II championship</a> from 1978 to 1984 and again from 1993 to 1999.

Like with National Collegiate sports, schools that are otherwise members of Division III who compete in Division I for men's ice hockey are allowed to grant athletic scholarships for the sport. All sports used the National Collegiate format until 1957, when the NCAA was split into the <a href="/wiki/NCAA_University_Division" title="NCAA University Division">University Division</a> and <a href="/wiki/NCAA_College_Division" title="NCAA College Division">College Division</a> (which itself was split into Divisions II and III in 1973).<a href="#cite_note-:7-6">[4]</a> The only sport that immediately saw a change after the 1957 split was men's basketball;<a href="#cite_note-75">[c]</a> all other sports continued to use the National Collegiate format for at least one season, and usually many more. Some sports that began after the split once used the format and no longer do. This include men's and women's lacrosse, women's rowing, women's soccer, and men's and women's indoor track & field. Some sports, including men's and women's golf, men's ice hockey, men's lacrosse, and men's and women's soccer used to have a combined championship between Divisions II and III, but these were known as a "Division II/III championship" in most cases.

These sports have scholarship limitations for each sport, but do not currently have officially sanctioned NCAA championships. A member institution may use these sports to meet the required level of sports sponsorship for its division.

The aim was to utilize social media platforms in order to promote diversity and inclusion within intercollegiate athletics. Throughout the NCAA's history, there has been controversy as to the levels of diversity present within intercollegiate athletics, and this campaign is the NCAA's most straightforward approach to combatting these issues.<a href="#cite_note-Swaim-54">[52]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="NCAA_Inclusion_Statement">NCAA Inclusion Statement</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=National_Collegiate_Athletic_Association&action=edit&section=37" title="Edit section: NCAA Inclusion Statement">edit</a>]</div> As a core value, the NCAA believes in and is committed to diversity, inclusion and gender equity among its student-athletes, coaches and administrators. It seeks to establish and maintain an inclusive culture that fosters equitable participation for student-athletes and career opportunities for coaches and administrators from diverse backgrounds. Diversity and inclusion improve the learning environment for all student-athletes and enhance excellence within the Association.<a href="#cite_note-Swaim-54">[52]</a> The Office of Inclusion will provide or enable programming and education, which sustains foundations of a diverse and inclusive culture across dimensions of diversity including but not limited to age, race, sex, class, national origin, creed, educational background, religion, gender identity, disability, gender expression, geographical location, income, marital status, parental status, sexual orientation and work experiences.

The NCAA provides many resources to provide information and enforce this amendment. The NCAA has kept these core values central to its decisions regarding the allocation of championship bids. In April 2016, the Board of Governors announced new requirements for host cities that include protection against discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity for all people involved in the event.

Under pressure from across the nation and fearing the economic loss of being banned from hosting NCAA events, the governor of Indiana, Mike Pence, revised the bill so that businesses could not discriminate based on sexual orientation, race, religion, or disability. The NCAA accepted the revised bill and continues to host events in Indiana.<a href="#cite_note-Kerrigan-133">[120]</a> The bill was enacted into law on July 1, 2015.<a href="#cite_note-Kerrigan-133">[120]</a> On September 12, 2016, the NCAA announced that it would pull all seven planned championship events out of North Carolina for the 2016–2017 academic year.<a href="#cite_note-Denham_2017_232–246-134">[121]</a> This decision was a response to the state passing the <a href="/wiki/Public_Facilities_Privacy_%26_Security_Act" title="Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act">Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act</a> (H.B. 2) on March 23, 2016.

Universities under NCAA policy are under scrutiny for specifically Native American-inspired mascots.

This <a href="/wiki/Native_American_mascot_controversy" title="Native American mascot controversy">Native American mascot controversy</a> has not been completely settled; however, many issues have been resolved.<a href="#cite_note-136">[123]</a> Here is a list of notable colleges that changed Native American mascots and/or nicknames in recent history: <ul><li>Stanford – Indians to Cardinals (1972); became Cardinal in 1981</li> <li>UMass – Redmen and Redwomen to Minutemen and Minutewomen (1972)</li> <li>Dartmouth – Indians to Big Green (1974)</li> <li>Siena – Indians to Saints (1988)</li> <li>Eastern Michigan – Hurons to Eagles (1991)</li> <li>St. Bonaventure - Brown Indians to Bonnies</li> <li>St. John's (NY) – Redmen to Red Storm (1994)</li> <li>Syracuse - Orangemen to Orange</li> <li>Marquette – Warriors to Golden Eagles (1994)</li> <li>Chattanooga – Moccasins to Mocs, suggestive of mockingbirds (1996)</li> <li>Miami (OH) – Redskins to RedHawks (1997)</li> <li>Seattle – Chieftains to Redhawks (2000)</li> <li>Colgate – Red Raiders to Raiders (2001)</li> <li>Quinnipiac – Braves to Bobcats (2002)</li> <li>Southeast Missouri State – Indians (men) and Otahkians (women) to Redhawks (2005)</li> <li>Louisiana–Monroe – Indians to Warhawks (2006)</li> <li>Arkansas State – Indians to Red Wolves (2008)</li> <li>North Dakota – Formally dropped Fighting Sioux in 2012; adopted Fighting Hawks in 2015<a href="#cite_note-137">[124]</a></li></ul> Others: <ul><li>Illinois – Removed Chief Illiniwek as official symbol in 2007.

Creation of a mechanism to enforce the NCAA's legislation occurred in 1952 after careful consideration by the membership. Allegations of rules violations are referred to the NCAA's enforcement staff, who monitor information about potential violations, investigate and process violations, provide notice of alleged violations, and bring cases before the NCAA's Committees on Infractions.<a href="#cite_note-infractions-138">[125]</a> A preliminary investigation is initiated to determine if an official inquiry is warranted and to categorize any resultant violations as secondary or major. If several violations are found, the NCAA may determine that the school as a whole has exhibited a "lack of institutional control." The institution involved is notified promptly and may appear on its own behalf before the NCAA Committee on Infractions. Findings of the Committee on Infractions and the resultant sanctions in major cases are reported to the institution. Sanctions will generally include having the institution placed on "probation" for a period of time, in addition to other penalties. The institution may appeal the findings or sanctions to an appeals committee. After considering written reports and oral presentations by representatives of the Committee on Infractions and the institution, the committee acts on the appeal. Action may include accepting the infractions committee's findings and penalty, altering either, or making its own findings and imposing an appropriate penalty.<a href="#cite_note-infractions-138">[125]</a> In cases of particularly egregious misconduct, the NCAA has the power to ban a school from participating in a particular sport, a penalty known as the "<a href="/wiki/Death_penalty_(NCAA)" title="Death penalty (NCAA)">Death Penalty</a>". Since 1985, any school that commits major violations during the probationary period can be banned from the sport involved for up to two years. However, when the NCAA opts not to issue a death penalty for a repeat violation, it must explain why it did not do so. This penalty has only been imposed three times in its modern form, most notably when <a href="/wiki/Southern_Methodist_University" title="Southern Methodist University">Southern Methodist University</a>'s (SMU) football team had its 1987 season canceled due to <a href="/wiki/Southern_Methodist_University_football_scandal" title="Southern Methodist University football scandal">massive rules violations</a> dating back more than a decade. SMU opted not to field a team in 1988 as well due to the aftershocks from the sanctions, and the program has never recovered. The Mustangs did not post a winning season until 1997, did not appear in their next bowl game until 2009, did not post consecutive winning seasons until 2011 and 2012, did not return to the national rankings until 2019, and did not win a conference title again until 2023. The devastating effect the death penalty had on SMU has reportedly made the NCAA skittish about issuing another one. Since the SMU case, there are only three instances where the NCAA has seriously considered imposing it against a Division I school; it imposed it against Division II <a href="/wiki/Morehouse_College" title="Morehouse College">Morehouse College</a>'s men's soccer team in 2003 and Division III <a href="/wiki/MacMurray_College" title="MacMurray College">MacMurray College</a>'s men's tennis team in 2005. In addition to these cases, the most recent Division I school to be considered was Penn State. This was because of the <a href="/wiki/Penn_State_child_sex_abuse_scandal" title="Penn State child sex abuse scandal">Jerry Sandusky Incident</a> that consequently almost landed Penn State on the hook for the death penalty. They received a $60 million fine, in addition to forfeited seasons and other sanctions as well. The NCAA later reversed itself by restoring all forfeited seasons and overturning the remaining sanctions. Additionally, in particularly egregious cases of rules violations, coaches, athletic directors, and athletic support staff can be barred from working for any NCAA member school without permission from the NCAA. This procedure is known as a "<a href="/wiki/Show-cause_penalty" title="Show-cause penalty">show-cause penalty</a>" (not to be confused with an <a href="/wiki/Order_to_show_cause" title="Order to show cause">order to show cause</a> in the legal sense).<a href="#cite_note-ncaa-baylor-nr-139">[126]</a> Theoretically, a school can hire someone with a "show cause" on their record during the time the show cause order is in effect only with permission from the NCAA Infractions Committee. The school assumes the risks and stigma of hiring such a person. It may then end up being sanctioned by the NCAA and the Infractions Committee for their choice, possibly losing athletic scholarships, revenue from schools who would not want to compete with that other school, and the ability for their games to be televised, along with restrictions on recruitment and practicing times. As a result, a show-cause order essentially has the effect of <a href="/wiki/Blackballing" title="Blackballing">blackballing</a> individuals from being hired for the duration of the order. One of the most famous scandals in NCAA history involved <a href="/wiki/Heisman_Trophy" title="Heisman Trophy">Heisman Trophy</a>-winning quarterback Cam Newton of the Auburn Tigers in 2011. As a direct effect of not being compensated for his college athletics, Cam Newton's family allegedly sought upwards of $100,000 for him to instead play at Mississippi State. This was revealed days before the conference SEC championship game; however, Cam Newton was later reinstated as there was insufficient evidence against him.<a href="#cite_note-140">[127]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Sponsors">Sponsors</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=National_Collegiate_Athletic_Association&action=edit&section=45" title="Edit section: Sponsors">edit</a>]</div> The NCAA has a two-tier sponsorship division.

Alston</a> and <a href="/wiki/Fair_Pay_to_Play_Act" title="Fair Pay to Play Act">Fair Pay to Play Act</a></div> The NCAA has limited the amount of compensation that individual players can receive to scholarships equal to school tuition and related expenses. This rule has generated controversy, in light of the large amounts of revenues that schools earn from sports from TV contracts, ticket sales, and licensing and merchandise. Several commentators have discussed whether the NCAA limit on player compensation violates antitrust laws. There is a consensus among economists that the NCAA's compensation caps for men's basketball and football players benefit the athletes' schools (through <a href="/wiki/Rent-seeking" title="Rent-seeking">rent-seeking</a>) at the expense of the athletes.<a href="#cite_note-:5-8">[6]</a> Economists have subsequently characterized the NCAA as a <a href="/wiki/Cartel" title="Cartel">cartel</a> and collusive <a href="/wiki/Monopsony" title="Monopsony">monopsony</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:3-11">[9]</a><a href="#cite_note-:6-13">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-:4-12">[10]</a><a href="#cite_note-149">[136]</a><a href="#cite_note-150">[137]</a> Pro-rating payouts to Division I basketball players in proportion to the size of revenues its championship tournament generates relative to the NCAA's total annual revenues would be one possible approach, but will open the door to litigation by students and schools adversely affected by such a formula. According to a national study by the National College Players Association (NCPA) and the Drexel University Sport Management Department, the average FBS "full" athletic scholarship falls short of the full cost of attending each school by an average of $3285 during 2011–12 school year, and leaves the vast majority of full scholarship players living below the federal poverty line. <a href="#cite_note-:600-151">[138]</a> In 2020, the NCAA Board of Governors announced that they supported rule changes that would permit players to receive athletics-related endorsements from third-parties.<a href="#cite_note-152">[139]</a> All divisions were expected to adopt new rules relating to the use of players' names, images, and likenesses before the 2021–2022 academic year begins.

Students would still be required to inform the school of all such activities, with the school to make determinations if those activities violate state and local laws.<a href="#cite_note-157">[144]</a> On the first day of effect for the NIL rule change (July 1), athletes such as <a href="/wiki/D%27Eriq_King" title="D'Eriq King">D'Eriq King</a> (Miami (FL) quarterback), Justyn Ross (Clemson wide receiver), <a href="/wiki/Bo_Nix" title="Bo Nix">Bo Nix</a> (Auburn quarterback), Antwan Owen (Jackson State defensive end), <a href="/wiki/McKenzie_Milton" title="McKenzie Milton">McKenzie Milton</a> (Florida State quarterback), <a href="/wiki/Malik_Cunningham" title="Malik Cunningham">Malik Cunningham</a> (Louisville quarterback), <a href="/wiki/Michael_Penix_Jr." title="Michael Penix Jr.">Michael Penix Jr.</a> (Indiana quarterback), <a href="/wiki/Spencer_Rattler" title="Spencer Rattler">Spencer Rattler</a> (Oklahoma quarterback), Lexi Sun (Nebraska volleyball), <a href="/wiki/Paige_Bueckers" title="Paige Bueckers">Paige Bueckers</a> (UConn basketball) and twins <a href="/wiki/Haley_Cavinder" title="Haley Cavinder">Haley</a> & <a href="/wiki/Hanna_Cavinder" title="Hanna Cavinder">Hanna Cavinder</a> (Fresno State basketball), all signed deals and/or unveiled trademarks to profit off of their names, images, and likenesses.

Not only can they partner up with companies, student athletes can get paid for other talents (i.e. singing). Russell Steinberg in 2021 says, "In addition to his prowess on the football field, where he has a shot at tying the school record for most starts, Marshall's Will Ulmer is a talented musician who wasn't able to earn money using his own name — until now. He had been going by "Lucky Bill" to avoid running afoul of NCAA regulations, but now says he is ready to book shows using his real name" (Steinberg 2021).<a href="#cite_note-boardroom.tv-159">[146]</a> The NIL has allowed Ulmer great opportunities to further pursue his football and musician career. Some companies have partnered up with multiple athletes and created a team of their own. Degree, the deodorant brand, started a team of 14 student athletes to help promote their brand. Degree calls this team Breaking Limits. "The Unilever-owned antiperspirant brand has committed $5 million over the next five years to inspire people to break limits. The first group of athletes that Degree has selected represent a diverse range of backgrounds regarding race, gender, and sport, and their stories will be unveiled on Instagram. These athletes will also have the chance to participate in events to help their local communities" (Steinberg 2021).<a href="#cite_note-boardroom.tv-159">[146]</a> On May 23, 2024, the NCAA and its five power conferences agreed to allow schools to directly pay players for the first time in the 100-plus-year history of college sports.<a href="#cite_note-espn.com-160">[147]</a> The NCAA and its leagues announced their intention to enter into a multibillion-dollar agreement to settle three pending antitrust cases.<a href="#cite_note-espn.com-160">[147]</a> In doing so, the NCAA will pay more than $2.7 billion in damages over ten years to more than 10,000 past and current athletes.<a href="#cite_note-espn.com-160">[147]</a> It is anticipated that each player in the class will receive an annual check worth 10% of the money they are owed.<a href="#cite_note-espn.com-160">[147]</a> Additionally, the NCAA and its league are also set to enter into a revenue-sharing plan, which allows each member school to share up to roughly $20 million per year with its athletes.<a href="#cite_note-espn.com-160">[147]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Individual_awards">Individual awards</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=National_Collegiate_Athletic_Association&action=edit&section=50" title="Edit section: Individual awards">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Academic_All-America" title="Academic All-America">Academic All-America</a>, <a href="/wiki/Best_Female_College_Athlete_ESPY_Award" title="Best Female College Athlete ESPY Award">Best Female College Athlete ESPY Award</a>,<a href="#cite_note-college-161">[148]</a> <a href="/wiki/Best_Male_College_Athlete_ESPY_Award" title="Best Male College Athlete ESPY Award">Best Male College Athlete ESPY Award</a>,<a href="#cite_note-college-161">[148]</a> <a href="/wiki/Senior_CLASS_Award" title="Senior CLASS Award">Senior CLASS Award</a>, <a href="/wiki/Honda_Sports_Award" title="Honda Sports Award">Honda Sports Award</a>, <a href="/wiki/List_of_college_baseball_awards" title="List of college baseball awards">List of college baseball awards</a>, and <a href="/wiki/List_of_2009_all-decade_Sports_Illustrated_awards_and_honors#College_basketball_honors" title="List of 2009 all-decade Sports Illustrated awards and honors">List of 2009 all-decade Sports Illustrated awards and honors#College basketball honors</a>.</div> The NCAA presents a number of different individual awards,<a href="#cite_note-162">[149]</a> including: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/NCAA_Award_of_Valor" title="NCAA Award of Valor">NCAA Award of Valor</a> (not given every year); selection is based on the heroic action occurring during the academic year.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/NCAA_Gerald_R._Ford_Award" title="NCAA Gerald R.
