Would You Be Able To Avoid An NCAA Investigation?

We have chronicled the variety of NCAA investigations over the past year and blamed agents and players for violating NCAA rules and regulations.  Ignorance of the rules and regulations potentially jeopardize student-athletes’ eligibility to play college sports and could harm the educational institutions that the players represent.

Schools have Compliance officers who are paid in-part to educate their student-athletes on the rules and regulations, and how to avoid violations.  Yet, even with those officers in place, there continue to be allegations of violations and actual breaches of NCAA policy.  You do not have the same resources at your finger tips, but play the game below to see if you would steer clear of putting your eligibility at risk.

The game is called Staying in Bounds, and it was created by three students at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
