Student athletes in North Carolina are uniquely situated at their college, university, or high school. Student athletes put their blood, sweat, and tears into their sport and academics and that is why it is troubling when they do not receive due process or independent support when charged with a disciplinary violation, such as academic misconduct or Title IX sexual misconduct, or are facing an administrative issue at their school or before a conference or sports governing body.
Coaches, athletic directors, and NCAA administrators, for example, often do what's in the programs or their best interest, and not what is in the student athletes' best interest. Student athletes must have an experienced attorney advocate guide them when a disciplinary or compliance issue arises, and the student-athlete faces investigation or administrative proceedings before their North Carolina School or before a sports governing body.
Issues unique to student athletes can include sports-related dismissals, or suspensions, inappropriate or abusive behavior by coaches, eligibility, hardship or scholarship concerns, transfer disputes, NCAA Administrative Appeals, and issues related to injuries, concussions, and sports litigation. You must take the necessary precautions before discussing any issues or concerns with the school or administrators. You must also understand your rights and responsibilities. An experienced attorney advisor will level the playing field and they should be involved in your corner from as early as possible in the process.
