Overview
Attorneys in our collegiate sports practice work exclusively in matters related to National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) rules, as well as the regulations of other governing bodies in intercollegiate athletics, such as the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and National Junior College Athletics Association (NJCAA). We have represented over 145 colleges, universities and conferences in NCAA compliance and NCAA infractions matters during the past 20 years.
We conduct NCAA infractions investigations from the time of the first allegation through a final proceeding with the NCAA. We have knowledgeable and experienced attorneys capable of conducting sensitive investigations in this unique area. Our attorneys have achieved unequaled results through their ability to combine working with conference and NCAA representatives with thoroughly developing evidence to evaluate objectively whether violations have occurred. We work to protect the institutions interests and to assure that student-athletes and coaches are treated fairly. The thoroughness of our investigations and reports in NCAA infractions cases and the strength of our strategies for corrective measures in compliance systems have been repeatedly cited by the NCAA Committee on Infractions as significant factors in mitigating penalties for client institutions.
In addition, we assist institutions with NCAA eligibility matters, rules application and governance issues. We are a national leader in the design and implementation of NCAA and conference rules compliance programs. We also provide an outside, independent assessment of an institution's NCAA compliance systems
Bond's long-standing involvement in higher education law generally, combined with the athletics experience of its collegiate sports practice, puts us in a unique position to help collegiate institutions and individuals in all NCAA related matters.
