Shalini Shanker and the restless world of NCAA compliance

Collegian | Reuel Indurkar

It often seems that yet another university’s athletic department is under fire for breaking rules set by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Paying student-athletes under the table, discrimination based on sex or race and faulty recruitment are just some examples of where athletics departments go wrong when operating.

Shalini Shanker is the senior associate athletics director for compliance and the senior woman administrator for Colorado State University Athletics. She oversees the Compliance Office, whose main purpose is to teach coaches and student-athletes about NCAA rules and to make sure rules are being followed by anyone involved in athletics.
