DIVISION I CONFERENCES
SURVEY TWO, QUESTION 11 ADDITIONAL WRITE-IN RESPONSES
What do you think are the drawbacks or deterrents, if any, of athletic
departments/conference offices having a candidate with a Juris Doctorate degree in their department/office? Please check all that apply.
1. No drawbacks. 2. None
3. I don't there are any. 4. N/A
5. I don't see any drawbacks.
6. In some cases, lawyers who have been practicing law in the "real world" experience some culture shock when adjusting to life within the world of the NCAA. The NCAA is a membership organization, and to date, not a "government actor." Consequently, the NCAA doesn't have to provide the same Constitutional protections that say, a police department would. This isn't to say that the NCAA doesn't abide by traditional notions of fairness; it's just that there are differences. As a result, the transition from practicing law in the real world to operating with the NCAA structure can lead to occasional frustration.
7. i.e., need to remember that we/I are the client, not the lawyer -- in question 12, I talk with our trademark counsel roughly monthly, and consult regularly if there's a specific television or other contract involved.
8. Concerns that staff members in the department do not realize that, as an attorney working for a university, you represent the university and not them. Also, concerns that staff members do not realize that an attorney working for the department cannot answer personal legal questions.
