Messiah University Athletics - NCAA Compliance


Compliance with NCAA Division III regulations is a high priority for Messiah University Athletics. As a member of the NCAA, Messiah is responsible for the actions of its boosters and fans. Even the most well-intentioned action on your part may be a violation of NCAA rules, so please contact the Compliance office if you have questions regarding what is permissible. The Falcons' office of Compliance seeks to build an atmosphere for understanding that promotes knowledge of NCAA Compliance to members of the Athletics Department, student-athletes, recruits, and members of the community that support Messiah University. We hope that these efforts will, in part, reduce infractions that may otherwise occur. If you have a question on NCAA Compliance, please contact Assistant Director of Athletics for Compliance and Internal Operations Rico Plummer at rplummer@messiah.edu .
