Keeping a Watchful Eye on Continuing Eligibility

Abstract

New continuing eligibility regulations require systematic attention in order to assure total compliance. The parallel system described takes into account the rules for continuing eligibility of student-athletes and methods for the administration of continuing eligibility. The data were entered by hand onto a personal computer using Quattro-Pro to manage the information and produce reports. Given the complexity of continuing eligibility regulations and the seriousness of the consequences of falling short in any area, it is necessary to persist in creating accurate and innovative ways to assure compliance.
