Welcome to the College Athletics Protection Association! (CAPA)
The newly formed College Athletics Protection Association (CAPA) would agree that these are indeed unique times. Just read any sports blog or newspaper and the headlines are full of collegiate athletic programs that have been found to be in violation of NCAA rules and with a wide variety of possible sanctions forthcoming that often are inconsistent with the punishment of another university alleged to have committed the same set of violations or worse.
Further, to Commissioner Swofford’s point, CAPA is ready to support a comprehensive research framework on this important compliance responsibility and also explore additional issues that benefit the longevity of collegiate athletics. While the research will be instrumental, CAPA does believe that compliance should be placed in the hands of an independent, third party entity where the NCAA should be represented as part of the process, not exclusively serve as the entire process. We aren’t anti-NCAA - in fact we believe such an impartial, third party compliance framework will help them better serve universities, achieve more equitable compliance and most importantly, protect the collegiate athlete. Think of us as a “think tank” on college athletics!
If you agree this is probably the most transformative time in college athletics, please consider joining and donating to CAPA today. CAPA is a registered charitable 501 c 3 organization and it is here to be your voice to protect athletics for the years and challenges ahead.
Our site is under construction and we will soon be launching our Facebook and Twitter presences so please come back to visit often for updates on our collective efforts — as the college football season gets underway, we look forward to possibly seeing you in your favorite college town!
