The NCAA has no rules against coaches mistreating their players. Really?! I can't find any rules but I can't believe their are no rules. I was reading about the fine line between sarcasm and verbal abuse when in this article (Advocates say UNC's hiring of coach accused of abuse points to lack of NCAA oversight) the author claims there are rules against coaches mistreating their players. Does anyone have knowledge of the rules. I have been searching the NCAA rules but I must admit I can't find any rules regarding players mistreatment other than playing with injuries. Univ, of Vermont situation got me started.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill came under fire last week for hiring a volunteer assistant who had been accused of abusing players at the University of Illinois. The NCAA has no rules against coaches mistreating their players. (Interesting!)

Situation at Charleston shows fine line between motivating and abusing
Once upon a time, a coach could yell and cuss and degrade players in the spirit of motivation. But the times have changed, and Doug Wojcik's situation at Charleston is proof of that.

What one man calls "hard-coaching" another calls "verbal abuse," and these types of things are rarely as cut-and-dried as the Mike Rice situation at Rutgers.
