"The NCAA denied Mr. Mauk's request even though a virtually identical request was recently granted to another student-athlete. In denying Mr. Mauk's request, the NCAA held Mr. Mauk responsible for the lack of information contained in his medical files while at Wake Forest University, even though Mr. Mauk had no control over those files. In the absence of those records, the NCAA failed to fully consider other relevant, contemporaneous medical evidence of Mr. Mauk's injury. The NCAA also made its decision without affording Mr. Mauk the opportunity for an oral hearing, an opportunity provided for in the NCAA's regulations. The NCAA's actions are breeches of its contractual and fiduciary duties it owes Mr. Mauk. Its application of its rules to Mr. Mauk is arbritray and capricious."

The NCAA told Mauk and UC that they would meet with Mauk personally and give him a chance to present his side. Then, without telling anyone, they got together and ruled without even giving him a chance. So much for putting the student athlete first. I could understand if they talked to him personally and ruled, but not even giving him a chance to plead his case personally is ridiculous.
