ncaa eligibilty  
I was at a 4 year school playing sports, I got suspended from the school for fighting for 2 years. I finished out the year and had good grades. I now transferred to another 4 year school and I am being told I am ineligible to play because of my suspension. This does not make sense to me. HELP!!

Re: ncaa eligibilty  
There are two web resources that I would direct you to: first, the NCAA general website which has information about Sportsmanship and Conduct in their Eligibility and Recruiting section. Look under the Legislation and Governance tab at http://www.ncaa.org/

I think if you are appealing the decision of your new school it would be important to point out if you took part in any kind of remediation like taking an anger management course, or if you filed a statement of regret or an apology for your behavior, or did any type of community service.   See the resources below, good luck and stay cool, calm and collected on the field, court and everywhere for that matter.

Below are the national contacts for Sportsmanship at the NCAA

Julie Roe:  jroe@ncaa.org

Rachel Newman:  rnewman@ncaa.org

 The contact info for the national office is

The National Collegiate Athletic Association
700 W. Washington Street
P.O. Box 6222

Indianapolis, Indiana 46206-6222

Phone: 317/917-6222

NCAA Statement on misconduct by student-athletes during regular season games

The NCAA is very concerned with any misconduct by a student-athlete during competition. We are committed to protecting the safety and welfare of student-athletes through the establishment of playing rules consistent with the sound traditions of the sport and of such character as to ensure good sportsmanship and safe participation by the competitors. As such, specific playing rules have been developed to address misconduct during competition and are enforced by the game officials.

In the event an act of misconduct is not detected by the game officials during a regular season game, action may be taken by the administration at the student-athlete's institution and/or the conference of which the institution is a member.

The NCAA has authority over misconduct during championship tournaments. If misconduct occurs during an NCAA championship, the appropriate NCAA governing sports committee would address the situation.
