In 1991, Mike Glazier, a co-founder of the Slive/Glazier Sports Group (the first private legal practice focused exclusively on the representation of colleges and universities in NCAA rules compliance-related matters), joined Bond to create and lead the firm’s Collegiate Sports Practice Group (CSPG). For more than 30 years, Bond’s CSPG has provided a wide variety of NCAA rules compliance-related services to more NCAA member institutions than any other law firm or group engaged in this type of practice.

Our experience includes:
- Assisting NCAA Division I institutions in compliance with House settlement terms.
- The first successful presentation to the NCAA Committee on Infractions in which an institution avoided a finding of a major violation in response to an allegation of lack of institutional control.
- Representing the first Division I institution to process an infractions case under the NCAA summary-disposition process and working with dozens of Division I and II institutions to resolve infractions cases through the Negotiated Resolution process (introduced in 2018).
- Representing multiple Division I institutions in the initial infractions cases referred to the NCAA Independent Accountability Resolution Process (IARP).
- Successful appeals of NCAA Committee on Infractions penalties through the Infractions Appeals Committee.
- Developing the first institutional audit program for NCAA rules compliance.
- Establishing the practice of including detailed reports on an institution's compliance system enhancements in institutional responses and reports to the NCAA Committee on Infractions. These reports consistently are cited among the key mitigating factors for imposing less than the minimum penalties prescribed by NCAA enforcement procedures.
- Representing a Division I institution and student-athlete in one of the first appeals to the NCAA Division I Administrative Review Subcommittee, resulting in the restoration of a season of competition to the student-athlete, and continuing representation of numerous institutions and student-athletes in that process.
- Assisting institutions in properly applying NCAA rules to specific situations and working with the NCAA staff in the interpretive process.
- Assisting member institutions and conferences in compliance with NCAA health and safety standards and guidelines established by the NCAA Sport Science Institute;
- Representing clients in Arrington concussion compliance and in NCAA class-action concussion litigation;
