Ethical Dilemma
The post contains three assignments
1:Athletic Program Sanctions
Order Description
Final Project
One of the recurring themes in college athletics today involves NCAA violations.Perform one case study on a university that has experienced NCAA or NAIA sanctions in the past 10 years. The violation can be sport specific (e.g., football) or it can be system wide violations (recruiting, boosters spending money on athletes, academic fraud, etc.). Your Final Paper should be 15-20 pages in length plus the annotated bibliography, double-spaced, with proper citation in APA format. Items to be addressed:
Identify the university and provide the mission statement of the university in the opening paragraph
Describe the nature of the violations and the team(s) involved
Identify the specific rules violated
The approximate number of athletes and/or coaches/administrators involved
Identify the sanctions imposed and by which governing body
Were any state or federal laws violated?
Did the university self-report the violations or were they discovered via an external investigation?
What ethical issues are presented and how did the university fail to properly address them?
Does the university you selected have a religious affiliation? In either case, do you believe religious affiliation would have impacted this particular scenario?
Was this a case of a few bad actors or a systemic problem?
Have any measures been taken since the violation by the university to prevent further violations?
How does the violation contradict the mission statement of the university?
2:Ethical Dilemma
Order Description
It’s the big state final and your school/sport has reached it! The site for the event is a neutral site with capacity for large number of spectators and its own security personnel. You get a phone call from the school principal or president where you are a coach or administrator, “Hey, congrats on making the final! A couple of my friends were planning on attending, but as you know I cannot extend any complimentary tickets – any chance you can get them in from the athlete entrance so they don’t have to pay for those tickets!” You know there are security protocols for this event based on the instructions you have received from the management group requiring all non-sport specific individuals to enter through the main gate. The request is coming from the school’s highest ranking official and you want to be in their good favor for a number of reasons including job security. You wouldn’t think the principal or president would ask you to do anything to blatantly break the rules.
What do you do and why?
