Florida Coastal’s Journal of NCAA Compliance

Unless you live in the state of Florida, you might have never heard of Florida Coastal School of Law.  However, Rick Karcher and others at the institution are doing their best to change that.  Florida Coastal is quickly becoming known nationwide as a law school that offers a rich sports law program.  In fact, it may not be long until Florida Coastal is considered to be at the same level as long-standing sports law programs like those offered at Marquette and Tulane.

Recently, Florida Coastal announced the creation of a new journal, The Journal of NCAA Compliance.

The Journal will be comprised of essays written by Coastal Law students containing detailed summaries of the latest NCAA compliance rulings as well as short articles on contemporary issues in NCAA compliance. It will also occasionally feature outside articles authored by athletic department compliance staff.

This publication should be an excellent addition to the school’s Center for Law and Sports.
