Abstract
Common student-athlete infractions in the NCAA include allegations of academic violations, sexual assault, domestic violence, pay for play, and infractions involving alcohol or drug abuse. All of these infractions are the result of poor decision-making and athletes often use one or more of the elements of moral disengagement in sports to justify poor decisions and dangerous behaviors. This article defines the eight mechanisms of moral disengagement in sports, provides examples, and offers recommendations to educate student-athletes on moral disengagement in sports to improve the decision making process to avoid infractions common in the athletic community.
