Protecting the Rights of Student Athletes in Utah: A Guide to Handling Disciplinary Violations and Administrative Issues

Student athletes give their all on the field, court, or track while striving for academic excellence. However, things can quickly turn sour when they are accused of disciplinary violations such as academic misconduct or Title IX sexual misconduct or face administrative issues with their school, conference, or sports governing body.

Coaches and administrators are supposed to have their students’ best interests at heart, but sometimes they fail to consider the unique perspectives of student athletes. It is vital for student athletes to have experienced attorneys on their side who can guide them through investigations and proceedings related to compliance and disciplinary issues.

Unique Challenges Facing Student Athletes

Student athletes face a host of challenges that require the services of an attorney. Apart from athletic achievement, other factors come into play that affects their academic performance and overall well-being.

Issues particular to student-athletes may include athletic-related dismissals or suspensions, abusive behavior from coaches, eligibility issues, transfer disputes, NCAA appeals, injury-related claims such as concussions or litigation claims relating to sports injuries.

Steps to Follow When Facing School Authorities

Before addressing any concerns with your school’s administration or authorities concerning any complaint against you about your conduct or discipline matters it’s essential first to take precautions. Students must be aware of their rights in these situations and employ the services of expert defense lawyers before making any major decisions or taking action.
