I'm curious to know the names of the 20 person group working on this, obviously USC's AD Pat Haden is part of it.

Some quick call outs, its an 8 page document.

Head coaches will be held to a higher standard and won't have the options they had in the past at playing ignorant.

What is a head coach's responsibility for ensuring NCAA violations do not occur within his/her program?
As of October 30, 2012, NCAA Division I Bylaw 11.1.2.1 will state that an institution's head coach is presumed to be responsible for the actions of all assistant coaches and administrators who report, directly or indirectly, to the head coach. A head coach shall promote an atmosphere of compliance within his or her program and shall monitor the activities of all assistant coaches and administrators involved with the program who report, directly or indirectly, to the coach.

If the NCAA enforcement staff alleges that a head coach violated Bylaw 11.1.2.1 as a result of his/ her involvement in a major/Level I or II violation(s), what could happen?
Pursuant to Bylaw 11.1.2.1, a head coach is presumed responsible for major/Level I and Level II violations (e.g., academic fraud, recruiting inducements) occurring within his or her program unless the coach can show that he or she promoted an atmosphere of compliance and monitored his or her staff. After August 1, 2013, if the Committee on Infractions finds that a head coach violated Bylaw 11.1.2.1, he or she may be suspended, ursuant to a show-cause order, for an entire season for Level I violations and half of a season for Level II violations. The number of contests that a head coach would be suspended from will depend on the severity of the violation(s) committed by his/her staff or the coach himself/ herself.

Under the new rules structure, coaches will be advised to assign a liaison to the compliance office, constantly document procedures for following rules and make clear they are paying attention to red flags

That intrigues me. Are they suggesting each sport carry a new staff member?

In an era when we only have a handful (21 I believe) self-supporting Athletic Departments and a huge number of schools that lose money the NCAA is "advising" schools to hire more personnel?

One thing is certain. It seems good at a quick glance to have coaches responsible for all of their assistants activities. But, it is certainly adding a lot more responsibility onto coaches—some of which have a hard time maintaining things as they are now.
