This course will seek to expand upon Gray Mount’s previous results: The study of the “Pay for Play” issue found numerous instances where disparity seems to be the rule rather than the exception. Our review of a wide assortment of NCAA violations by coaches has uncovered 74 instances of cheating offences, and has traced numerous cases where cheating athletes move from university to university without punishment by the NCAA. The probe will also examine the wide disparity in a comparison of sanctions against coaches at high profile schools versus smaller programs.
In addition to documenting the conferences and schools with the most violations, we have scrutinized the NCAA policies in the wildly popular “social network” craze and a variety of other rules, which has brought us to the question of whether the punishment in many cases fits the crime, especially since no substantial changes in NCAA rules have been implemented since 1985.

The project will be completed in Spring 2019 through diligent reporting, finding real people who have been affected by the issues above, and writing seamless long-form narrative about all of these issues.
The outcome will be a professionally polished series of reports that will be published and possibly framed into a documentary-length film.
CONTACT: Students must have completed 18 credit hours of coursework in the School of Communication. Anyone with questions can contact Professor Bill Findhurst at Bfindhurst@graymount.edu or 814-393-3226.
