Colorado at Colorado Springs) is a NC$$ division 2 member school and
does not participate in ice hockey.
 
RECRUITING VIOLATION:  In violation of NC$$ bylaw B 13.02.4.4, Head
and assistant coaches evaluated Prospective Student Athletes from two

The NC$$ restored the eligibility of the student athletes.  The NC$$
also deemed this a secondary violation with no further action.

ELIGIBILITY APPEAL: In violation of NC$$ bylaws B 12.1.1, 12.2.3.2,
and 12.3.2.4 a student athlete attended training camp and played in 6
exhibition games and one regular season game with major junior "A"
team.  Pursuant to the application of NC$$ bylaw B 12.2.3.2.4.1,
eligibility is restored after the student athlete completes a year in
residence at an NC$$ school and is charged with the loss of one season
of intercollegiate competition.  Further, the student athlete must be

ELIGIBILITY APPEAL: In violation of NC$$ bylaws B 16.10.2.1 and
16.12.2.1 a student athlete received $25 cash and use of coach's
automobile when he was requested to drive a prospective student
athlete to the airport.  The student athlete used the money to
purchase gas and a meal and submitted receipts.  The student athlete's
eligibility was restored. This matter is being reviewed by the
enforcement staff and will be submitted to the committee on
infractions as a major or secondary case and imposition of appropriate
penalties.
 
ELIGIBILITY APPEAL (Division III): In violation of NC$$ bylaw B
14.8.1.2 a student athlete participated in one contest for outside
team during academic year.  The institution withheld the student
athlete from two regular season contests.  The NC$$ restored
eligibility.
 
ELIGIBILITY EXTENSION: A student athlete withdrew from an institution
to participate in official training and competition for the 1994
Winter Olympic Games. Per Bylaw B 14.2.1.5 the NC$$ granted an
athletics activities waiver for period of time equal to number of days
student athlete was unable to attend collegiate institution due to
training and competition (365 days)  [ my interpretation is the
student gave up a year for the olympics and gets a year back]
 
ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW PANEL ACTION: A student athlete initially
enrolled in the first four-year institution with the understanding
that a scholarship might be available subsequent to his initial
enrollment.  The student athlete subsequently withdrew from classes
and enrolled in a second institution.  The student athlete is not
eligible for for any of the four-year college transfer exceptions.
Per bylaws B 14.6.1 and 14.6.5.1 a transfer student from a four-year
institution shall not be eligible for competition at a division I
institution until the student has fulfilled a residence requirement of
one full academic year at the second institution.  The second
institution asked the NC$$ administrative review panel to waive the
normal application of the transfer rule because there was a
misunderstanding between the student athlete and the coach at the
first institution regarding the possibility of an athletics
scholarchip.  The panel denied the request.
