NCAA athletics


The NCAA has put rules in place that govern the actions of students, staff, faculty, coaches, donors, and student-athletes. It is important that individuals who have relationships with VCU Athletics understand these regulations that govern interactions with and the actions of student-athletes. Through awareness and understanding of these rules, we can ensure our VCU Rams are set up for success.
