CENTRAL STATE UNIVERSITY

Central State University lacked institutional control when it did not have the proper systems in place to detect and prevent violations, according to a decision issued by the Division II Committee on Infractions. The lack of control resulted in the university’s failure to properly certify 106 student-athletes in 10 sports, ensure the student-athletes met eligibility requirements and maintain accurate countable athletic activity logs. Penalties in this case include three years of probation, a $5,000 fine, a compliance audit and  vacation of games in which ineligible student-athletes competed. The agreed-upon violations occurred because the university did not understand and execute NCAA rules properly when it transitioned to Division II membership. The university incorrectly believed the NCAA Eligibility Center exclusively handled initial eligibility determinations and did not need to be consulted for transfer student-athletes. The school also did not understand that it was required to verify multisport student-athletes’ amateurism status in each sport in which they participated.  These misunderstandings resulted in the university failing to verify the amateurism status resulting in 106 student-athletes competing while ineligible. The university also permitted three student-athletes to compete and receive impermissible expenses when they did not meet eligibility requirements. It also failed to maintain accurate logs of countable athletic activity in men’s tennis, women’s track and field, men’s basketball, football and women’s volleyball. –Read More
