The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley is a member of the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) and is committed to operating its athletics program in a manner consistent with the NCAA, and University rules and regulations. The principle of institutional control is a fundamental requirement of the NCAA and includes the institution’s oversight of and responsibility for the actions of coaches, staff, student-athletes, boosters and fans.

It is the role of the UTRGV Athletics Compliance office to keep these groups abreast of NCAA and Western Athletic Conference regulations, which is critical to ensuring rules compliance. While the UTRGV Athletics Compliance Office strives to provide on-going rules education, everyone can play a role in ensuring that the Vaqueros win within the rules. Please use this website to become familiar with the various NCAA rules, but please remember to ask before you act.
