NCAA Accountability Act of 2024

The NCAA Accountability Act of 2024 establishes new due process rules for the NCAA (referred to as a "covered athletic association") when investigating member colleges or student athletes for rule violations. It requires the NCAA to provide detailed written notices to institutions before investigations begin, limit investigations to violations within the past two years, and hold formal hearings within one year of notice. The bill also mandates independent arbitration for disputes over penalties and requires the NCAA to submit annual reports on enforcement actions to the Attorney General. These changes directly affect all NCAA member colleges and the NCAA itself, ensuring fairer investigations and appeals processes.
