Given the time constraints of the semester, I think the best angle for my personal story would be to focus on the have\/have-not issues in terms of NCAA compliance. This would likely manifest as a case study type of story, comparing the programs at Georgia and a smaller NCAA school in the area.<\/p>\n
I would still like to explore the bigger picture questions I listed in my first memo, but it will be on a smaller scale and focused on just a few scales. I’m hoping to find some valuable statistics and information from the NCAA to extrapolate on trends I might find, but my reporting will be focused on compliance programs at UGA and another school, like Savannah State or wherever I can get access.<\/p>\n
Key questions<\/p>\n
Which schools have NCAA compliance programs? Is money a major factor?<\/p>\n
Are these programs effective?<\/p>\n
What do compliance directors do in their daily work?<\/p>\n
How are athletes and athletics affected by these programs?<\/p>\n
Does the NCAA view Power 5 schools differently than smaller schools in terms of compliance and enforcement?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
