 The Pen State case The first step would be to report any violations by any stakeholders immediately to the NCAA. If more violations are reported in a prompt and timely manner, offenders will be effectively reprimanded (Ferrell & Fraedrich, 2015). As a result, fewer violations would occur since the reporting violations would serve as a deterrent to other future offenders. Self-reporting of violations and cases of non-compliance by coaches and institutions would also mitigate the effects of the offenses. For instance, in the Penn State case, the timely reporting of the unethical conduct of the assistant coach would have meant fewer students would have been sexually assaulted. Therefore, the cover-up by the university and the head coach was a mistake since a proactive response would have been more effective. The Pen State case shows that prompty reporting violations to the NCAA for action is a proactive way of promoting ethics and compliance in the sport. University administrators should use the NCAA guidelines as a minimum benchmark for ethical conduct in their sports programs. These guidelines provide a framework for compliance…
