Chapter 13: Governance Issues in High School and College Athletics

Blackboard is broken! Luckily I remember the relevant chapters were 13 and 14.

Boooo it’s another 30-pager.

Booooo the NCAA. The high schools are regulated by the NFHS.

Legal issues likely to come up in high school and college sports.

Typical issues for high school athletics:

  • Eligibility
  • Home-schooled students
  • Racial taunting
  • Athletics associations are state actors (entwinement, as the SCOTUS ruling finds)
    • The NCAA is somehow not a state actor
    • But the NCAA can still wind up participating in state actions
    • Only state actors must grant due process (??)

I really hate the NCAA

One good thing it could do is enforce Title IX through certification, but surprise surprise, this doesn’t seem to be highly effective.

I feel really gross after readong this chapter. Probably wouldn’t be this bad if I hadn’t heard all the thing I’ve heard about the NCAA. But still sucks.
