4 reasons complying with the NCAA sucks

Dedicated to all of the compliance issues that athletes, coaches, faculty and staff have to deal with. Otherwise known as things that athletes are irritated because they may or may not make a lot of sense but take a lot of time. #alltheforms #notime

Compliance is the official NCAA DII term regarding the conditions, rules and regulations that the athletes and coaches of any DII university agree to abide by, so that all DII universities are held to the same standard.

1. Go ahead, change your classes. I dare you.

Normal process:

1. Go to records

2. Change class

Athletes:

1. Go to Jackie (Compliance Officer).

2. Fill out form

3. Bring form to professor

4. Bring form to Deron Matson in records

5. Bring form back to Jackie (and hope to heaven you filled it out right)

6. Change class

2. You know that form at the end of the year where you tell Jackie where you plan on working over the summer. Yea, good luck remembering the address and phone number.

3. All that matters is that you get there before it closes at 4:30. Oh, you get out of class at 3:00 and have practice at 3:45? Better sprint.
