Infractions Referral Committee (IRC)
The Infractions Referral Committee decides whether to approve or reject requests to refer infractions cases to the independent process. If the Infractions Referral Committee decides not to refer an infractions case to the independent process, the case will reside in the NCAA’s peer-review process.
The committee consists of a member of the Independent Resolution Panel (serves as chair), a member of the Division I Committee on Infractions, a member of the Division I Infractions Appeals Committee, and the chair and vice chair of the Division I Council.
