  • NCAA Division III Committee on Infractions

    Below are two recent rulings from the NCAA Division III Committee on Infractions - none for hockey team infractions -

    Wesley College on two years of probation for financial aid violations.

    Southern Vermont College for a number of major violations.

    Interesting, IMO - Value vs. Cost – Managing NCAA Compliance Risk

    Also of potential interest, is "THE DIVISION III FINANCIAL AID REPORTING PROCESS: FINDINGS AND REVIEW RESULTS 2005-06 THROUGH 2008-09" (requires opening in Adobe PDF Reader).

    From the NCAA Document: THE DIVISION III FINANCIAL AID REPORTING PROCESS: FINDINGS AND REVIEW RESULTS 2005-06 THROUGH 2008-09

    D. The Sport Review Filter.
    The filter adopted by the Financial Aid Committee, for implementation with the 2007-08 reporting cycle, begins with the identification of individual outliers within each institution. An individual record is considered an outlier if it has a calculated residual (the difference between the statistically predicted institutional gift aid award based on financial need and the actual institutional gift aid award) that is two or more standard deviations above the mean for all students at the institution. At the institution-level, the student-athlete outlier cases are then grouped by sport. It is then determined whether there are sufficient student-athlete outliers within a given sport to trigger further review. To enact this filter, two conditions must be met.
    1. Based on its overall cohort size, a team must meet a minimum threshold of outliers.

    2. The sport group must meet the first condition in three consecutive reporting cycles.

    Over the two cycles this filter has been in place, five institutions have had a team meet the criteria. Four were men’s ice hockey teams and one was a football team. In each case, the school was provided the opportunity to justify the situation.

    It appears that the hammer falls with the next (3rd) reporting cycle.

    Wondering of the one football team was the Wesley program, already sanctioned for a different financial aid violation, or if this is another program.

    And, of course, just waiting to (hopefully) see what four men's hockey teams are at the verge of "further review."

      Approximately 2.5% of all financial awards will be identified as outliers according to this filter. At an institution with a large standard deviation, even a variance of 1.5 s could be a lot, and it is conceivable that this could be used to an advantage by an unethical institution. At a school with very consistent policies (small s), a variation by 2s would not be a large value. It's kind of like grading on the curve. There have to be outliers according to this definition. Whether they are meaningful is open to question in some cases.

          Why not use a name affiliated with the school you actually pull for?

It's kind of sad, actually...Here it’s go to the rink, pay for your ice time and practice for an hour where we could just walk to the rink and skate for four hours if we wanted to...It was just a lot of fun. I wish I could go back and be eight years old for a couple days" -Neal Broten

            You're right, of course, but how do you really feel?

              Sometimes, like running myself over with my own car.
